NWOT and RARE J. Crew Metallic Vita Cami (Holiday ’08, Item 10181)
Size 6, Color Silver/Pewter
$30 (original retail $98, currently selling for $45 plus shipping on eBay)

J. Crew’s description:
An Italian import that looks like it was inspired by the nightlife of Capri, this metallic silk cami catches light in an almost fluid way. Delicate pleating down the front and a halter-style semicircle neckline make the proportions perfect. Classic fit. Sleeveless. Side zip. Straight hem. Hits at hip. Import. Dry clean.

Fit is generous through the body but TTS at the hip.  Unless you’re pear-shaped you can safely size down.  I took the tags off this gorgeous cami when I bought it, but the security tag is still sewn in and I’ve never worn it.  (Hormonal impulse buy, what can I say?)








EUC J. Crew Striped Tissue Painted-Stripe Tank (Spring ’09, Item 12671)
Size S, Color Silver/Grey/White
$10 (original retail $33.50)

J. Crew’s description:
Our favorite lightweight, bias-cut cotton with allover watercolor-inspired horizontal stripes. Fitted. Scoopneck with rib trim. Straight hem. Hits at hip. Import. Machine wash.

Fit is generous.  Size down.  Worn a few times but well cared-for and in very good condition.






NWOT J. Crew Perfect Fit Metallic Twinkle Tank (Holiday ’08, Item 99831)
Size S, Color Heather Camel (gold)
$15 (original retail $30)


J. Crew’s description:
The shimmering fabric really makes this tank sparkle. Wear it alone or under your favorite jacket. Pure perfection in very soft, metallic-printed cotton with extra-fine ribs, now in a new weight for fall. Fitted. Scoopneck with rib trim. Hits at low hip. Import. Machine wash.

Fit is TTS for a Perfect Fit tank.  I wore this once and hand-laundered it.  Pristine condition.

Not the right piece for the way I dress, as beautiful as it is.  But a really versatile item for the right wardrobe -- e.g., see it here and here on the elegant ABC of A Bigger Closet.









NWT J. Crew Lace Love Tank (Holiday ’10, item 32747)
Size 6, Color Deep Plum (a rich, true burgundy)
$25 (original retail $88)

J. Crew’s description:
Our love affair with lace continues. We took the classic tank and reimagined it in lovely lace. A perfect layering piece under shirts, blazers, cardis and more.  Nylon.  Fully lined. Dry clean.

Fit is TTS.  Truly beautiful and well-made.  Notice bra strap snaps, shown in the last photo.  Sorry for the golden light in my pictures that skews the color -- this item is really a gorgeous, warm plum.  Another impulse buy (I've curbed those since!) that doesn’t go with enough in my wardrobe to justify owning it. 

I couldn't find any Polyvore sets with this tank in this color. 






FOR SALE: J. Crew Skirts

Hi everyone!  More great deals for you from my closet!

Shipping:
$5.00 per package.  I'll combine items into one package and save you shipping $$ as much as possible!

Please contact me at jcauncmom@gmail.com with questions or re: shipping outside the U.S.  Thanks!

EUC J. Crew Python-Print Mini Skirt (Spring ‘09, Item 12691)
Size 6
$15 (original retail price unknown)

100% cotton.  Sits lower on hips with A-line shape.  Length is 16”. Hidden side zipper and 2 front slanted pockets.

Fits on the generous side of TTS.  Super cute skirt  -- see the many styling possibilities in the PV sets linked below.  I bought this NWOT last winter on eBay and have worn it twice.  It’s a little too big for me now, and I've (unbelievably) been able to find a smaller size.




 
NWOT and RARE J. Crew Trastevere Paisley Skirt (Spring ’09, Item 90969)
Size 6
$20 (original retail $84)

J. Crew’s description:
Cotton canvas with a print as chic as the Rome neighborhood we named it for. A-line shape. Sits lower on waist. Button front. Patch pockets. Hits above knee; 17" long. Import. Machine wash.

Fit is generous.  Trastevere is one of J. Crew’s most legendary prints, and it was offered in this miniskirt, a bikini, shorts, a minidress, a long sundress, a merino cardigan and a scoop-neck top.  All were huge hits.  This little skirt is just adorable with its oversized buttons.  I was thrilled to find this on eBay, and heartsick that it’s too big for me.  (The online seller's measurements weren't accurate!)  I’m pricing this at exactly what I paid for it. The tags are gone but the security tag is still inside, and the skirt’s in perfect condition except that the buttons need to be re-tightened.








EUC J. Crew Burnished Linen Skirt (Summer ’09, Item 14805)
Size 6, Color Brass
$20 (original retail $128)

J. Crew’s description: 
A dressed-up take on a cargo style, in special Italian linen from the venerable Crespi mill (the oldest weaving mill in the world). The patinated effect is achieved by a closely guarded metallic-foil process.  Slight A-line shape with inverted pleat in front. Sits just below waist. Belt loops and patch pockets with button closure. Back zip. 17" long. Import. Dry clean.

Fit is TTS to slightly generous.  The fabric is stunning.  This skirt got mixed reviews from the JCA community, but I found it very flattering and insanely comfortable.  I’ve worn this several times and am always complimented.  It’s just become too big for me.  For reference, my body type is rectangular and athletic; from the shoulders to the hips I've got no curves.  










FOR SALE: J. Crew Dresses

Hi everyone!  Major summer closet clean-out continues at my house, and that means more great deals for you before I think about eBay or consignment!

NWT VINTAGE J. Crew Cargo-Style Shirtdress (Spring ’07, Item 80094)
Size 4, Color Khaki
$15 (original retail price unknown)

This is a classic, well-made and very cute cargo-style shirtdress in a warm khaki color.  I bought this on eBay and it's too small for me.  Tags and button still attached.  It appears to be retail, not factory.  100% substantial cotton, NO STRETCH.  Inseam tag says to hand wash and tumble dry on lowest setting.

Fit is small, NO VANITY SIZING going on here!

No Polyvore and I couldn't find this one online -- perhaps you'll have better luck!
  




SOLD
SUPER-EUC J. Crew Silk Cargo Dress (Summer ’10, Item 26669)
Size 6, Color Wet Peat
$20 (original retail price $138)

J. Crew’s description:
A dress-up, dress-down wardrobe MVP in lightweight washed silk with chunky cargo pockets, roll-up sleeves, a pointed extended-tab collar and a waist-cinching tie. Because of its neutral colors and utilitarian silhouette, it can be any kind of chic you want: casual with ballet flats and a chunky belt du jour or edgy with fashion-forward heels and piled-on jewelry. A-line skirt. Falls above knee. Import. Dry clean.

The style is classic cargo-style, just like the khaki cotton version I’m selling (see above).  But this version is in a lightweight silk that's very fluid.

Fit is roomy.  This dress is especially well-suited for gals who are short-waisted and curvy!  After seeing this dress on the radiant Dina of My Superfluities, I bought this NWT on eBay.   It appears to have come from a J. Crew clearance center -- see mark thru tag.  I've worn it only a couple of times, and have had it dry-cleaned.  It's too big for me now.  




SUPER-EUC J. Crew Stowaway Dress (Spring ’11, Item 42589)
Size S
$15 (original retail price $68)

J. Crew’s description:
The perfect pack-and-go getaway dress fashioned in see-worthy stripes. Styled in blissfully soft cotton with a hint of stretch for comfort. Boatneck. Loose fit. Sleeveless. Drop waist with drawstring. On-seam pockets. Falls to midthigh. Import. Machine wash.

Worn twice, gently laundered.  A little too roomy on me, and I hate that because this is truly one of the most comfortable summer dresses I’ve ever tried on.  Nicely dense and opaque 100% cotton with a hint of stretch – and the cotton is soft as an old-fashioned baby diaper.

Fit is forgiving – on the roomy side of TTS.










FOR SALE: J. Crew Jackets


Hi everyone!  Major summer closet clean-out underway at my house, and that means great deals for you before I think about eBay or consignment!

Shipping:
$5.00 per jacket to U.S. only (one jacket per USPS Flat-Rate box).

Please contact me at jcauncmom@gmail.com with questions or re: shipping outside the U.S.!  Thanks!

NWT J. Crew Crocodile Jacket (Spring ’09, item 12154) 
Size 6
$90 (original retail $188, currently selling for $159 on eBay)






J. Crew’s description:
A perfectly prim silhouette in refined cotton/linen, updated with a graphic "handpainted" print and ball buttons -- the kind of traditional-meets-modern look that we love. Classic fit. Slight A-line shape. Standing ruffle collar. Three-quarter sleeves. Inverted pleat from shoulder-blade to hem on back.  On-seam pockets. Interior piping. Fully lined in acetate. Hits at hip. Dry clean.

Fit is TTS in the shoulders, very generous through the back because of the inverted pleat.  I am normally an 8 in J. Crew’s blazers and this 6 fits very comfortably.  An impulse buy that sadly doesn't work in my closet.  New with tags and never worn.




NWOT J. Crew Canvas Atelier Jacket (Spring ’09, item 13105)
Size 6, Color Navy
$70 (original retail $148)




J. Crew’s description:
Our designers' favorite new silhouette for springdressed simply with a shirred mandarin collar and sleek ball buttons. Cotton. Classic fit. Three-quarter sleeves. On-seam pockets. Contrast interior piping. Fully lined. Hits at hip. Import. Dry clean.

This jacket is exactly the same style as the Crocodile Jacket (see above) but made from a slightly stiffer fabric (canvas).  I’ve worn this jacket a few times but have another navy jacket that I prefer.  In pristine condition!

For Polyvore - BR Soft Ribbon-Trimmed Moc in Papaya

Banana Republic ribbon-trimmed soft Save Nowmoccasins - an eBay find last year in almost the exact same pale papaya color as last spring's J. Crew Slim Braided Belt.  These aren't the right color, but this is the right shoe.



For Polyvore - My Old but Fabulous Gucci Watch

My 15-year-old Gucci watch.  I was searching for a Polyvore picture and find it so odd that after all these years this model is showing up on eBay.  Worth every single nickel, though, in case you're inclined to bid.  Incredibly versatile!
