You Can Always Count on JCrew for Summer Suiting....

Confession time: I love JCrew suiting. It is extremely conservative and very expensive but I just LOVE it! I hold a special place in my heart for their summer suiting and I wait with anticipation for the April/May catalogues and website updates to peruse the Suiting section and plan my summer purchases. So this year, blah!, I was so not impressed.....until, the Chambray Suiting popped up. It is only available online/JCrew Catalogue so I waited for a decent promotion (besides free shipping) to order it! And when the SUMMER promo email came through, I filled up my shopping basket and clicked "Complete Order." And I am so glad that I did, I LOVE this suiting.

I have two other JCrew 3 piece (jacket, pants, dress) khaki suits from previous seasons. I have no idea what they are called...but one is navy and the other stone colored. They are both similarly cut and very classic Khaki suiting...ie NO STRETCH! However, I love them and wear them every week during the hot summer months.

The STRETCH Chambray Suiting fills a void that I have in my work wardrobe. This suiting is extremely light weight, perfect for the stifling summer heat; but, the stretch helps it to hold its shape. The dress is very flattering, I like the thicker straps (my other JCrew suiting dresses have very thin straps). Also, the wide panel under the bust looks really great with a waist cinching belt.

Here are some pics....if you have any questions, let me know!!!

And....just for fun!!! Here's a close-up of my leopard print ColeHann peep-toes (Spring 2007) and my Essie Mini-Shorts polished toenails!!


Any questions, let me know!!!
