patch it up

 

The little preppy in me just loves elbow patches.  Noooooooo they don't really serve a purpose, but do puffy sleeves or ruffled hems?  

(exactly)

 I really wanted this stripe top but it's only for you ladies with a bun in the oven.  Best part it's under $50.

Happy shopping.

…OK, not EVERYTHING.  

(What in neon yellow Amish hell is that?!?)

 

 

 

Alrighty Dolls, let's rip this preview apart, shall we???

 

Jcrew fall 2011

 I need those pants.

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 2

 I've been looking everywhere for bright pants!  These have my name on them…

 

 


Jcrew fall 2011 3

Not too sure about that sequin dropped-waist number in the back, but I'll take the first two looks.

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 4

YUCK!  I despise that yellow mess in the background!

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 5

 I'm so in love with the cape and pink heels.  I can only hope they don't jack up the price on the cape like they have on their past items… 

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 6

Not too thrilled about the outfits, but I love the color palette. 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 7

Pretty sure my Mom had a dress out of those horrible patterned pants.  I'll take the classic trench and leopard heels.

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 8

 A military inspired jacket, heck ya!  I would wear this entire look.  Moving on…

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 9

I think this would look better with heels.

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 10

Overall really digging the semi-nasty 70s colors.  

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 11

 I NEED THIS BAG!

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 12

 Love the purple and the green, but this drop-crotch pant HAS GOT TO GO AWAY!

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 13

 Digging the accessories…

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 14

Si, si…

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 15

 Mixing of patterns is good.

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 16

 The chick on the right is saying, "That stupid ho, took my outfit!"  I would be mad, too…

 Loving her mix of stripes and leopard.

 

 

 

 

Jcrew fall 2011 17

 Needing the red number in the back.

Oh, and ps. J. Crew, you TOTALLY stole those striped leggings from Obesity and Speed.

Just sayin'.
