Looking like Clueless 2012! There is one thing that I value; conservatism, and J.Crew Spring 2012 delivers that and does it in COLOR! For me, it’s so exciting to see ‘prep’ taken to a whole new class. Wide pant leg, pops of vibrant shades, I’m not sure how you live–mic check; my mic sounds nice. Check one: I am dying at this Women’s collection. And with my whole being I support the creative minds behind these garments, and it is a must that it becomes available in Men’s sizes too! J.Crew, you win.
