Firmly Anchored
J Crew Anchors Aweigh Scoopneck Blouse
Anne Klein Trousers
Kate Spade Velvet Flats
J Crew Twisted Hammock Pearl Necklace
Weird thing happened yesterday--I was browsing in TJ Maxx and found this SAME BLOUSE--same print, same color, even the exact same buttons on the shoulder...but instead of a J Crew label it had a Cynthia Rowley label. Given that this was supposed to have been designed by J Crew's "in-house designer, based on her yacht trip to the Greek Isles"...don't know how that happened. I almost bought it cause it was $20 and would have made a good gift, but refrained out of protest. Mostly cause I paid like $70 for this blouse last year.
Another weird thing--my Citizen Eco Drive stopped keeping time like 6 months ago, but getting the battery replaced was going to be a hassle so I kept putting it off (apparently it needs to be sent back to the company to put a new solar panel in it, which was going to cost like $100). I stuck it in my windowsill on Monday on a complete whim--sort of an absolute last attempt to make it work--and lo and behold, it kept time! So I wore it yesterday. Hope it keeps it up, as I love the old girl.

So funny you say that, I have seen several J.Crew knock offs at TJ Maxx this season! This top AND the striped silk top like this! And a few other things! Weird. Anyway, I love this top and I love it with the pearls! Now I want to wear mine thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeannie! Now I kinda want to stalk TJs and Marshalls for some knock-offs...
Deletelove this! Yep, I've seen them too at Marshalls! In fact I bought an navy blue anchor blazer I can't wait to sport. I also bought a pair of navy polka dot pants that looked very Jcrew. I bought a navy polka dot top too but it doesn't look good so I'm taking it back!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw an anchor blazer I would definitely buy it--can't wait to see it on you!
DeleteAlrighty, I def need to visit TJ Maxx more often - my sis goes there a lot and always gets the best stuff. I don't seem to have the luck - but need to revisit!
ReplyDeleteIt's easiest if you can go at random times of the week, as opposed to the weekends. I typically score best there when I can sneak out in the middle of the day, when there is no one there. That may have more to do with my claustrophobia than the actual merchandise though.
