Perfectly Simple
Ran into the mailman today so I could finally get my mail! (The cats played with the key and now I cant find it.) There was so much fun stuff in there, including the new J. Crew catalogue. They really have done such a lovely job this season. They have focused on easy pieces that are built with quality, yet simply in a way that decreases the cost of production, for example, tissue-thin cashmere and raw-edging. Also, everything blends so beautifully, that you are lured to buy items together.
They also did an exception job in their bathing suits! I have never seen such simple, elegant swimwear from any other brand. Haverhill is all I have seen that comes close, but Haverhill is way too prohibitively expensive.
Anyway, J. Crew added a everyday-luxury-type extension to their swimwear line this year: the “Italian Jersey Lomellina Collection.” It really looks like somehow this fabric molds to the body so well that you wouldn’t have to worry about it shifting around whenever you move an inch. I love the Ruched Halter with the Hipster with Flower, and the Kauai Halter with the Foldover Wide-Band Hipster.
Buuuut, I really was initially looking for a lavender bikini, and neither of those are available in lavender. Sad. However, I got so much wear out of my twisty-style bikini in white from last year, and they are offering the similar Solid Twist-Front Bandeau Top with the Solid Twist Bikini in Sweet Lavender.
So I’m thinking that I’ll definitely go for the purple set, and one of the Italian Jersey ones, but I have to decide which one. Maybe Ill order both and see which looks better. Have to see what makes sense financially, considering I’m not working right now…eeek!!
