Hi Everyone!
By now, you know that I LOVE J. Crew Pencil Skirts! Here’s the link to a blog post in which I proclaim my love for pencil skirts. So, today, based on comments from my recent pencil skirt posts, I thought that I’d show pictures of my pencil skirt collection. I’m almost embarrassed to admit how many J. Crew pencil skirts I own, but hey, I’m among friends, so here it goes:
Most of my No. 2 Pencil Skirts in Double-Serge Wool are near the back in this picture:
I really need to reorganize my closet, so pardon the mess! I’m hoping to find slimmer pant/skirt hangers that will make hanging skirts less cumbersome.
There you have it, I LOVE my pencil skirts! Do you love one clothing item more than the other? Do tell!
Also, I’m super grateful to My4Boys of the wonderful blog Tweed and Toile and Ina of the wonderful blog Ina in Wonderland for awarding me the Sunshine Award. Both of you ladies are SUPER sweet! I will post my responses and blog picks shortly!
Thanks for stopping by; I really appreciate you being here!!!
thank you for the pics of your closet,you have a wonderful selection!the items i cant resist is tees(striped) and bracelets.my bracelet collection is` steadily growing,but it really brings me pleasure.
Ina: My pleasure! Thank you for being here, and for your wonderful blog! I can totally see why you can't resist striped tees and bracelets; they're so gorgeous, and you wear them well! And, bracelets add such a great pop to any outfit. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person who has a growing collection that brings them pleasure!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
What an impressive collection! I have a long ways to go before I can catch up 🙂
AppGal: Thanks SO much!!! I'm a super sucker for a cute J. Crew pencil skirt, no questions about it! You have a great collection of pencil skirts that you wear extremely well!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
you are truly a "collector". how fun!
JulieStyles: LOL, "collector" is definitely the appropriate word!!! Thanks SO much for being here!
That is an AMAZING collection. Love it!
J.Crew JD: Thanks SO much!!! I LOVE a cute J. Crew pencil skirt!Thanks SO much for being here!
Another pencil skirt lover checking in here… I love your collection, very colorful. I'm curious, when did you start collecting these beauties? Do you always buy new from J.Crew or do you ever hang out on the JCA Weekly Exchange or ebay?I find that if you love these skirts they are very addictive but I'm not ready to join a 12-step program just yet. LOL
xoxo: You have an amazing collection of pencil skirts too! I'm SO glad that I'm not alone! It's interesting, I really didn't start wearing J. Crew pencil skirts until 2008, which means that, sadly, I missed out on a lot of great prints. I purchased the 2008 version of the vibrant flame double serge wool, and I was hooked after that! I've been stalking the website and talking to my online personal shopper about pencil skirts that come in a size 14 ever since. Most often, I purchase the skirts new; however, I search the JCA exchange and eBay regularly for styles that I've missed over the years. And, you're SO right, these skirts are addictive. Like you, I'm so not ready to join a 12-step program yet, LOL!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
When did you start collecting your skirts?
What a pretty rainbow of pencil skirts!!! I love seeing people's closet shots…it's fun to get a glimpse! =)
Jenni: Thanks SO much!!! I really like sharing stuff like this. It's like having your best friend standing in your closet with you as you try to put an outfit together!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
LOL, what a great collection!! I also have a very large J. Crew pencil skirt collection – it's probably my favourite item from J. Crew, along with the striped tops.
Louise: Thanks SO much!! I'm totally with you, J. Crew pencil skirts are my absolute favorite. They're so stylish and classic!Thanks SO much for being here!
I love your post, I am probably the only one here who does love JCrew but does not own any pencil skirt (simply because I'm a SAHM currently) but I completely love your collection. My closet is super, duper tiny so I'm quite limited on what I can buy and store. My biggest weakness though is jeans (I probably have a dozen pair) but it's something I wear at least 3x a week if not more.
Joelle: Thanks SO much!!! I totally hear you; I often think about where I'm going to wear my skirts in the summer when I'm not teaching. This summer, I'm challenging myself to get dressed in a skirt daily even though I'm not going into the classroom. And, I so need to find the perfect jeans. I think that I'd collect jeans if I could find the perfect pair!Thanks SO much for being here!
LOVE this! I count at least 4 that I also own! I just think it is so cool that you "own" your love and completely embrace it. I really like my pencil skirts as well – they make work dressing more interesting than the typical suit option. I also love your colour savvy!
WMM: Thanks SO much!!! Which 4 skirts do you own too???? And, thanks so much for your comment about "owning" my love. I just think that it's so important to be open and honest, even when it's tough. I'm a pencil skirts girl through and through. They're the first thing I look for in the J. Crew catalogs, LOL!Thanks SO much for being here!
Ha Ha Ha!!! As I looked at your pics I went "check, check, check" at the skirts also hanging in my closet. I'm right there with you on the pencil skirt collection/addiction. I counted recently and I have over 40 pencils. Now, everytime I buy one I scold myself. I do not need another pencil skirt, but I will not stop buying them anyway. Oh well;) I LOVE them. They are my signature, for sure.
Hollylovescrew: LOL!!!!! It's too funny that you were going "check, check, check"!!! I LOVE it! I hear you about not needing another pencil skirt. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone. J. Crew just makes the most beautiful pencil skirts; the colors are amazing, and the fit is outstanding. I've yet to find another retailer who even comes close.
Thanks SO much for being here!
Love your collection. I need a purple one in double serge wool!
A: Thanks SO much!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you can snag the jazzy purple skirt, or a great J. Crew purple pencil skirt. I know that you'll wear it well!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
I'm right with ya! Great collection. I've gone nutso with the double serge, they are my favorites hands down! I will have them all someday! Ha ha ha (maniacal laugh)
MommysShoppingAgain: Yay, I am SO glad to know that I'm not alone with my love for J. Crew pencil skirts!!! I've been so inspired by your "wear a pencil skirt a day" polyvore sets. And, LOL about having all of the double serge skirts one day. Trust me, I understand!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love, love, love Jcrew pencil skirts. I will admit to having an obsession with them!
Tricey: Me too!!! J. Crew pencil skirts are the best. I've yet to find another retailer who even comes close!Thank SO much for being here!
What a great collection. I think it's smart to collect an item that works so well, these skirts always look terrific on you. I just bought the neon tweed pink with my rewards card to wear with my flame orange sweaters, thanks for posting a real life picture of it, it helped me decide! 🙂
Dani: Thanks SO much!!! I really appreciate the super sweet compliment! OOOOO, yay, I'm glad that I could help with the No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Neon Tweed. I can't wait to see your outfits with that lovely skirt. I can't wait to wear mine!Thanks SO much for being here!
Insanely jealous, have them wrapped and sent to me!
Tabitha: Thanks SO much!!! You're super sweet! I love a cute J. Crew pencil skirt, hands down!Thanks SO much for being here!
Lovely colours in your closet!
Thanks SO much, Rose!!! I've really been trying to branch out with my color scheme in my wardrobe!Thanks SO much for being here!
