Also, I think buying in store we buy more according to the fit and we are much less likely to fall for marketing gimmicks. I think that's why many of the favorite pieces in my closet are from retailers other than J.Crew, those were usually bought in store and not 'under influence'.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-89545400846306093142012-08-29T21:50:20.624-04:002012-08-29T21:50:20.624-04:00Thank you!

I think you are right, burgundy should look like burgundy wine, right? The skirt is more red than it looks online and less brown but I guess it is not burgundy, you are correct. I also think 'golden burgundy' is not burgundy either, more like henna or reddish brown Crimson maple is probably a better name but I did not like any of them, they look very muddy and heavy to me, especially in double serge wool.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-6813225064249044202012-08-29T21:38:02.983-04:002012-08-29T21:38:02.983-04:00Thank you M!

That's not to say I don't have any of their pieces in my closet. I browse often, but buy sparingly.<br />I'm on the fence about the uneven hem, but that tee looks so great that I might have to get one for myself.fshnonmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188338589104627907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-60038166659084611622012-08-29T10:54:39.067-04:002012-08-29T10:54:39.067-04:00I love this on you!

However, on both my monitors, the skirt comes off as rust and not burgundy at all.<br /><br />I am a little torn on the color of the pencil skirt from J Crew also. It was a good buy, fits nicely and is made well, but somehow seems a little flat. I wish it was a bit more intense of a deep red. I will try it with a couple more things, but I am just not feeling it, to quote Gigi.<br /><br />kitsmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707879362149921762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-38685022353172924162012-08-29T10:19:25.392-04:002012-08-29T10:19:25.392-04:00Ha, I definitely have a split personality, waverin...Ha, I definitely have a split personality, wavering from preppy to bohemian.
