J Crew - Severn lace mini - Shopping online

J Crew's Severn lace mini (29148) runs 0-12. There are 2 color choices.

Our must-have skirt of the season, crafted in stunning French lace from a renowned mill with a so-slimming elastic waistband. We adore the easy silhouette and scalloped hem, which shows off the delicate eyelash detailing. So pretty paired with a tweedy blazer or a sequined top for a playful contrast of textures. Cotton/rayon/nylon. Sits at waist. Elastic waistband. Fully lined. 17 1/2" long. Part of J.Crew Collection. Import. Dry clean.

Summit green

Summit green - Size 4 - I don't agree that the waist band is slimming. At least not for me. And to be frank, I don't care if it was made on a mill in Mars, I wouldn't pay the $138 they're asking for it. This doesn't pass the F21 test. My F21 test is to think about whether I could find a J Crew item at F21, H&M or other similar stores. Sometimes it takes a lot of concentration to put down the Crewlade, but I'm doing my best to not be bamboozled. That's just me. We all have different psychological and financial price points. I believe some people paid fp price and love it. If you can/want/did, work it. Check it out on I'm Shoes Shopping.

Let's revisit..

...the Xhilaration Juniors Lace Skirt from Target - Size M - Yes, this is a repeat and I wasn't completely won over when I first tried it on and posted the pics. It struck me as a bit cheap. I recently saw it on sale in 2 of my Targets for $4.24. It's lookin' reeeaaaal good at that price. And now that I've tried on the J Crew lace mini, I think this will work just fine for plenty of ladies. It also comes in martini olive (M, pictured), grey, ivory and blush (pink). It's 100% nylon, whereas the J Crew Severn is made of 62% cotton/21% rayon/17% nylon. I like the waistband on this, which is about 3/4 - 1" and is the same color as the skirt. Check it out on Kendi.

Xhilaration lace cardigan - Size M in both - I've also posted on this one. The cardi also comes in navy, wine and black. I liked the subtlety of the cafe latte color (pictured). Also now 50% off in-store, for a net $9 and some change. Before you Tarjay lovers get excited, I think that each Target can decide on markdowns. It seems each section of the store has a manager or stock manager that can make cuts. That's the sense I've gotten from eavesdropping, so it's not official info. However, I know that I've seen different prices in different stores in the past and that seemed to explain why. Perhaps they have streamlined markdowns & they come from corporate. In any case, if you want either of these two, I hope you find them in your store.
