Views on a Preview

My VPS sent a couple November previews.
This is the Rylan Blazer. The description [with my commentary]said: Sourced from the same heritage UK mills we use for our men's collection [hmm, sounds pricey] -- you're going to love the menswear inspired fit of the Rylan Blazer [It does look to be cut straight and a bit oversized on her, will I really love the fit? I like the purple with touches of ... is it red on the collar and edged along the front with fuchsia? Could be funky, could be fun ... we'll see.]
Part of the description: Yes, you can add another chambray piece to your wardrobe -- especially one with a fun new print. [Mickey knows my addiction and he's not gonna stop. VPS says the print is stars. I love chambray, I love stars. Guess I'll be adding this one. Dammit.]
This is not one of the preview images sent by my VPS but I just noticed it on the header for coats. I don't need another coat and a light colored one is so impractical but gosh that is a deliciously pretty color.
Maybe it will be a bad pink for my coloring. Maybe the cut of the garment will make me look like a linebacker. But at least I won't have to worry about stripes or a plaid pattern lining up correctly across seams.
 
What do you all think, thunk, thank? {excusez-moi, it's late}

  1. You should be chambray Queen at J Crew, no design or fabric should get passed the cutting board without a nod and wink from you!

    1. Chambray queen sounds like a character from the Land of Mickey ... will you design my crown?

    1. I am fairly certain it will be a pass on that jacket, it is $$$$. I had a snow white cashmere T and you know how white is a magnet for spills and splatters? It became a sleep T for the coldest nights, note the T was from the good old days when cashmere was cashmere soft.

      Good luck! ;)

    It is so pretty but so very expensive!

    1. Ha, my VPS didn't give me as many details! Hmmm, it's pretty but not a need so will be passing unless I walk into it on super sale.

      Thanks for the info, shopalot!

  5. Forgive me but what is VPS? I tried to figure it out but sometimes am a bit air headed.

    I like the chambray but I don't k ow about the pink coat. It's not even winter yet and I am kinda over it already if I am to be honest.

    1. Oh sorry CSW, you are not air headed! I shouldn't assume everybody knows. That at JC, the PS are special, they are very. ;)

      The pink coat is a half hearted pick on my part but seems I always make room for more chambray.

  7. The rylan blazer looks great in the pics, but I am thinking it will lean towards pricey and probably too over-sized for most of us shorties. But what a gorge color!

    1. That about sums it up, Lisa, it won't likely work for me in so many ways. But agree, gorge color!

    1. It's a lovely color but probably not good for real weather. ;)
