Many stores discretly downsize their clothing quality due to the high cost of production during the recession. However, J Crew hasn't failed to disappoint me with creating chic design with durability. The following pieces are from J Crew, one of my fave stores. Love the comfort & quality of each item.
Rimini cardigan: "A tough-chic twist on the cardigan, the motorcycle jacket-inspired asymmetrical double zipper and side ruching" is crazily irresistible. Original: $98. Paid $35.
Soft & lightweight. The small beads add a hint of a glam to a simple design. Original $40. Got it for $11.
Traverse cardigan: "Dual rows of luxe ruffles are perfectly placed across the placket of this cardigan in a flattering crisscross design." Original $88. My price: $22.
Dulphine bling-button cardigan: ultra thin but insanely warm. Original $69. Paid $35.
Love the exquisite gathered silk chiffon and beads on the ruffle cardigan. Original $118. Paid $35.
Montreaux cardigan: "The classic pocket cardigan gets a touch of edgy glamour with a double-end locked zipper." Original $88. Got it for $35.
The crystallized silk bracelet is anything but plain. Original $40. Got it for $14.
