Did y’all know that J.Crew changed the design of their No. 2 pencil skirt? What the heck! Aside from the fact that they wrinkle like crazy from sitting/general wear, they are nearly perfect in terms of fit. Now, to be fair, I haven’t tried the new style on, so I could very well like them as much or more, but the feedback I’ve gotten so far has not been positive. It made me thankful to own the original version of this skirt in an embarrassing amount of colors.
Yesterday I paired it with a J.Crew factory jeweled-collar blouse. I love the feminine detail of the ruffled and embellished collar.
Before I go, I wanted to share the one item I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale–and it’s these gorgeous faux calf hair, leopard-print heels by Halogen. I love the lower heel and that the print is calf hair, I always think that looks more expensive when the shoe has an animal print. They fit great and are on sale right now for $59.90! You can buy them here.
the collar is so cute and i LOVE those shoes!!

Hi, I also own several of the original ones and I love them but the fit is not right, the waist is too big and the rest ok, also the sizes vary a lot, I have form 0 to 4. I'm going to have to try the new ones.
Beautiful jeweled collar blouse! I love your work attire =]
As always, thanks for sharing!

We can totally be twinsies with this look – I have the same top and skirt 😀 And my nude heels are also from Nine West, just different style name (great minds think alike 😉
LOVE those leopard heels. The style is so pretty (the black ones are still sitting in my cart) and I'm trying to justify buying the leopard ones…I guess the ones I have right now are not pointed, so that should be a good excuse haha.
If it's any consolation, I'm trying to justify getting the black ones. I love a low heel, pointed tow and calf hair…they're not even that much during the sale…right?
For being real leather, I think they aren't too bad even at full price (but of course we love a good sale 🙂 My current leopard ones are calf hair too, so I had to pass one leopard ones but if they weren't, I definitely would have gotten those too. I got them in black leather and black calf hair but might return calf hair ones just because I can't justify both black ones (unless something changes in a few days 😉 But they're gorgeous for sure and so comfy.
Just bought my first jcrew pencil skirt, no idea if its the old or the new one.. those gorgeous shoes are sold out in my size 🙁
