I wasn't excited by much in the Spring collection and even less in this Fall collection.

I will say that I do like the colors much better than the ones they had this past fall.<br /><br />That DVF dress is gorgeous! I would also love to see one in my closet this coming fall, too! :)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-41044990059658129252013-02-13T14:23:31.600-04:002013-02-13T14:23:31.600-04:00whoops - make that "kills"!whoops - make that "kills"!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-11126348801255631832013-02-13T14:23:07.255-04:002013-02-13T14:23:07.255-04:00Agree completely!

I agree the bold piled on patterns are extremely hard to pull off and that coat is unwearable for us regular mortals. I posted my own impressions today, as you know. I did not occur to me when I was writing it but KnitYarns had a great observation in her comment that it is a very adult collection. I like that they are going in that direction. Look what happened at Hello Kitty Spade. ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-39344791951396099632013-02-13T12:33:26.454-04:002013-02-13T12:33:26.454-04:00it is a bit of a JC juggernaut right nowit is a bit of a JC juggernaut right nowWendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-63283793673389326702013-02-13T12:29:24.166-04:002013-02-13T12:29:24.166-04:00You two know that tale "The Emperor's New...You two know that tale "The Emperor's New Clothes," right?

I honestly didn't like anything in the JC Fall collection - thematically, it seemed really disjointed and each of the items seemed like a retread of a style from previous seasons: capris! more brocade! more rhinestone embellishment! Oh well, I am sure they will come out with some other things by the time August rolls around that will be a bit more palatable.

I can see you wearing the floral skirt but beware I purchased a metallic on e and the tiny metallic threads were broken in a couple wears. <br />I saw the Judith and Charles spring collection this past weekend and it was outstanding .

I am happy to see our ankles will remain frozen with the cafe capri continuing to be on the menu. I like them because I don't have to hem. Regular length pants at Jcrew ( when you can find a pair) are way too long and I am at the upper end of petite length and never am happy with the rise. The scary model with the creepy stare reminds me a bit of Sharon Stone ( a brunette version) in Basic Instinct.
