Over 50 Fashion J Crew Fall Picks

I don’t know about you but I think J Crew has their mojo back. Last year everyone was questioning whether J Crew could find their way and get customers back in the stores? You can read about their struggles in fortune here and Forbes here. The stores were really looking shabby (well they still do). They have hired Chris Benz as the creative director to replace Jenna Lyons (you can read about that in Vanity Fair here). and the successful Madewell has filed for its own IPO. Last I heard they still had not hired a CEO, but I am rooting for their success. You gotta love a brand that isn’t afraid to use older models.

fashion over 50 j crew fall picks

They still have a ways to go but I personally found a heap of things I am loving right now at J Crew. Here are some of my Over 50 Fashion J Crew Fall Picks.

First off I will confess I am coveting these leather leggings.

The reviews are amazing. Honestly,I  have never heard such good reviews on leather leggings.  I have had some before and they were kind of disappointing. The only problem with these…the price. I know…I know if you wear them a lot it won’t matter.  I am going to put together some looks with these fabulous leggings as a base. Maybe they will send me a pair in the mail (dream on). They have a vegan version here that is much more reasonable.

You know how much I love the J Crew Sophie Leopard Sweater.  I featured it in my Over 50 fall fashion trends we can actually wear with jeans.  It would be fabulous with these leggings as well.

I feel like you can wear jeans almost anywhere as long as you dress them up with a pretty shirt or jacket. J Crew has a slew of interesting blouses and shirts right now.  Here are some of my favorites.

I am not a silk person but for those who are this roamin tiger number is a beauty, love this red lace number, love anything leopard even if it is silk, black lace what is not to like, pale pink lace yum, burgundy velvet at a good price, I don’t care for florals or ruffles normally but love this gold floral beauty, love the autumnal colors of this floral perfect shirt, gold eyelet what’s not to like?

Joni from Cote de Texas has a great fashion post up as well. You might want to check it out here.  I think she could just do my shopping for me. She has great style.  Her sidebar always gets me into trouble.

I hope you enjoyed my over 50 fall fashion picks from J Crew.  I am heading to Rountop tomorrow.  With the humidity index it should be around 130.  If you see someone gasping for air and sweating like a pig, that would be me!

Stop back on Thursday, Annie Mary Ann and I have a great group of bloggers who are sharing their fall mantles.  It should be lots of fun!

    I am visiting London and wandered into a great shop in Sloane Square, I was very surprised that it was J Crew. I could have bought a dozen tops and jackets! The do have their mojo back. Madeline

      Hi Madeline
      I am so happy you think so as well. Have a great time in London! I am jealous!!

    What a great post. I ordered the snakeskin print scarf and the leopard sweater jacket because I have all the other components of the two outfits. I’m looking forward to wearing them once the weather cools down here in So Cal. Please show more outfit ideas, you are a great stylist.

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Thank you so much Cindy. I spend a lot of time on the fashion posts but I enjoy them. Especially when I receive nice comments from readers like you. That snakeskin scarf is a great deal.

    Lauren Hutton is such an icon. I’ve always loved her style. I love seeing black leather pants as part of a more classic outfit that’s wearable for women like us. These are beautiful. Coated jeans are another option that are less pricey and also lighter weight.

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Hi Julie
      I am glad you brought up coated jeans. I agree they are a great option as well. I just ordered a pair of gray ones.

    I didn’t realize J. Crew had lost their mojo, but I typically buy from J. Crew Warehouse so maybe I didn’t pay as much attention to the store. I love some of the items you’ve shared and will definitely be working on my autumn and winter wardrobe.

      Hi Karen
      Lucky you to have a J Crew outlet near you. We have one in Gilroy but I just don’t get up there very often. They have such great sales anymore I try to pick things up on sale when I can. Thanks for being so supportive.

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Hi Celia
      I find there are certain things I can buy at J Crew and some that definitely don’t work. That Sophie sweater jacket is a winner and their long wrap is great if you can find it on sale. Looking forward to Round Top but not the heat!!

    OMGosh! I just bought my daughter a pair of the sneakers, and a long jacket in wool knit that is one the best wardrobe staple items ever. She lives in Portland and thought of JC as too “preppy” . She now sees it with a new attitude. I bought the smoking slippers in black and chestnut colors and love them!
    Keep featuring these great finds Cindy and thanks for all of your research. You’re the best!

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Hi Sharon
      I am so glad you converted your daughter! I have a bunion so I can’t wear a lot of their shoes, but the slides work! They have plenty of room and are great looking! Thanks for always being so supportive.

    Have a great time in Round Hill. Are you taking a huge truck to bring back treasures in? I have a baseball cap with a fan in the brim. That might help!

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Hi Sheila Merle
      I bought two of those little fans that spray water. I think we are going to need them! We are not hauling a U Haul. We have enough stuff. Shopping for others hopefully!!

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Ha! I purchased two of those battery-operated fans. I think we are going to need them!
