Not bad. J Crew is a good place to stock up on well made basics. I really dig that jacket with the white piping and the cardigan and silk dress with the "library" inspired patterns speaks to me personally as a former reference librarian gone bad. Still, a big part of me (the cheap part) wants to take home more than six items when dropping a grand. Unless a big discount coupon comes my way soon, I think I would have to trim a few of these items off the list before hitting the send button.
