Hi Everyone!
I received the J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirts in Double-Serge Wool in Berry Pink and Festival Blue, as well as the Enameled Elephant Bracelet in Retro Jade moments ago. Here are a few IRL pictures:

No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Double-Serge Wool, Festival Blue:
OOPS, I just realized that the skirt is twisted in the back in this picture, sorry!
Here is a closer picture of the Festival Blue color (excuse the wrinkles; these pictures were snapped as soon as I took the skirt out of the box):
I really like these skirts! I will note that the 2012 version of these skirts seem longer than the 2008-2011 versions.
Finally, here is an IRL picture of the Enameled Elephant Bracelet in Retro Jade:
What do you think of the J. Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirts in Double-Serge Wool in Berry Pink and Festival Blue, as well as the Enameled Elephant Bracelet in Retro Jade? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the colors, especially the pink one. Would be great to see such a pop of pretty color in the fall! Nice review that you mention it's bit longer than the previous seasons.
Small Town Gal: I love the colors too! They're vibrant and striking. I think that J. Crew does color really well!!! Thanks SO much for being here!
Oh, happy to hear the pencil skirts are a little longer- I love that!
thatdamngreendress: I like the longer length too! I'm always concerned about making sure that my knees are covered, LOL!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Pretty colors! Looking forward to seeing how you style them!
cate: I totally agree, I love these colors!!! I will definitely post styling pictures soon!Thanks SO much for being here!
Ohh I love the colors of the No 2. Pencil Skirts. I've never tried the wool ones… but this year that'll change!
Julie: I love these colors!!! And, I'm looking forward to your review/styling pictures of these wool skirts!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love, love, love the elephant bracelet!!
Beach Chic Girl: Me too!!! It's very cute IRL!Thanks SO much for being here!
I wish it wasn't so darn hot now I want to wear that pink skirt!
laughter through tears: LOL, me too!! I love this pink color!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Pretty! How would you say the berry compares to the azalea from last year?
Hexicon: Thanks SO much!! I think that the berry color is more raspberry than the neon azalea color. HTH!Thanks SO much for being here!
Ooo cute colors! Nothing says fall like the new rollout of double serge wool pencil skirts :DTasia
Tasia: I agree, these colors are so cute! And, you're right, double-serge wool pencil skirts really signals the arrival of fall!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love the skirts! Both colors are great! I'm glad to see some color for fall. I have several of these from the past couple years and also like that they are just a bit longer.
Luxette: I love these skirts too! And, I agree with you, the colors are lovely. J. Crew really knows how to do color!!! I like the longer length too!Thanks SO much for being here!
Pretty colors. Is the double serge wool like the seasons past?
tiffany rose: I agree, the colors are very pretty! I'd say that the double-serge wool is pretty comparable to past years! HTH!Thanks SO much for being here!
Thanks Rynetta! I like both of these skirts – how will you wear them? The elephant bracelet is a real statement piece – I LOVE the jade eyes!
WMM: You're very welcome! I like both of these skirts too. I haven't decided how I will style the Festival Blue color, but I plan to wear the Tie-Neck Polka Dot blouse with the Berry Pink color. And, you're right,, the elephant bracelet is lovely. Thanks SO much for being here!
I love both colors, but not the longer length. I might try a petite. Enjoy the new goodies!
A: I like both colors too! I know that a lot of people won't like the longer length. I like it because I'm always trying to make sure that my knees are covered, LOL!Thanks SO much for being here!
I have the same two skirts coming today! The festival blue color in your photos looks really different from the website color!
Cate O: Great minds think alike, LOL! I'll try to take another picture of the Festival Blue to see if the color photographs differently.Thanks SO much for being here!
I adore the pencil skirt colors…especially the berry pink! But then, I looked at the gorgeous elephant bracelet and I really loved the festival blue one too! I have a few of the wool pencil skirts and love them and wear them constantly! I always look forward to your posts for the latest & greatest from J Crew!
Buffy Alten: I agree, I think that the Berry Pink is my favorite color too! Awwww, thanks SO much for your kind compliment about looking forward to my posts. I really appreciate you being here!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love all of these items!! J.Crew always knocks it out of the park with colors. I'm on a pencil skirt ban at the moment, so I hope they do the festival blue in a pant.
fshnonmymind: Thanks!! I agree, J. Crew really does "knock it out of the park" when it comes to color! I hope that the Festival Blue is done in a pant too. You will rock this color to perfection!Thanks SO much for being here!
Ooo, beautiful colors! I want that berry pink skirt! Hmmm, I'm not sure about the longer length….I'll just have to try them and see what I think. BTW…the little elephant guy is super cute!
I like both colors but if I had to pick my choice might be the blue 🙂 But I love, love that bracelet – so pretty!!
