The Jcrew Merino skirt. I really loved it from the first time I saw it in a store because of the pleats, stretchy and comfortable material and the longer length or and of coarse because of the color - it's not black like most of the items I own. Here are a few outfit ideas I put together with this skirt. I feel it runs TTS. I'm wearing size Medium. This skirt doesn't have any zippers, any buttons and it is lined! I found it is very easy to wear.
Picture#1. In this first picture I'm wearing this skirt with a silk Lucinda blouse in Vibrant flame.
Picture #2. I paired it with my latest obsession Lady Lace Popover in Heather Graphite. I just looove this sweater. It's lace in fine merino yarn laid over chiffon, I don't see any resemblance to a "sweatshirt" like Jcrew refers to it on its website (at least its not the kind of sweatshirts I'm used to) and the sweater is not itchy at all.
Picture #3. I paired merino with cashmere =) Wearing a v-neck cashmere Jcrew sweater in Heather citrus.
Picture #4. Here I'm wearing it with a Jcrew chambaray shirt and Jcrew brown leather belt.
Picture #5. And finally paired with silk Blythe blouse and a Jcrew patent leather skinny belt.
I hope you enjoyed my little fashion show =) and I hope it gave someone an idea for a new outfit!!!!

The skirt looks so chic and fabulous on you! Love all of your pairings with it. I thought the skirt was lovely IRL, but am hoping I can catch it at a good sale price.
Thanks I actually used the cardholders 20% off on it so wasn't as bad but still costly I agree.
Hi, just came across your blog and love your reviews! I'm in Canada so its hard for me to order J Crew without reading reviews first. Your outfits look great! Possible to get your opinion on how your find the sizing for the Lucinda Blouse?
love the outfits, please post more pics of Jcrew kids collection ;)
hi Lainey, I'm sorry I just saw your comment regarding Lucinda blouse. The blouse i'm wearing with this skirt is Blythe blouse which has chest pockets. I did try on Lucinda blouse as well and found the fit a bit off on me. Its cut differently in the chest and shoulders area, pleats at shoulders add volume and i found the blouse was gapping in the chest area, i tried it in my regular Jcrew tops size and it was a pass for me. I found Blythe to be more flattering but then again I'm 34C so for a smaller chested girls I can see how Lucinda blouse would work. HTH
