  1. That girl in the picture is not happy. She looks like she has a bad headache, or she's really tired or something.

  3. I guess its good that we all dont like the same thing, but i dont get what all the buzz is about over the rose tee! Its just like other graphic/ applique tees they have? What makes this one special? To me not much!

  5. Sorry...20% off of ONE purchase is not enough to make me want to open a J.Crew Card...

  8. I wanted to mention that I overheard an associate ask a customer next to me--do you want to open a J Crew CC and save 20% today? Hmm..I thought..I never knew they did that??

    I guess it is always that way??

  9. It's usually 10% off...but when times are rough, they sure do incentivize!

  10. yay ashley! I'm so glad you got it! I seriously thought about putting it behind the counter under the name "aficionada" so one of you would get it, but didn't want the store to be barraged with calls :)

  11. Anon @ 1:12, I totally agree. JCrew has alot of great graphic & applique tees. I don't know why this one is so much more popular than the rest. I think maybe it's because it's really hard to get now. That just makes some people really WANT it! I think a "dry clean only" tee shirt is INSANE!

  12. As cute as this stuff is, little kids don't want to look like their yuppy-preppy parents. They want to look like Disney kids (Mylie Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, Selena Gomez, etc.). I don't think Crewcuts will last more than a couple of years, IMO.

  13. I think there are some parents who don't expose their children to too much TV, including Disney. And with Talbots Kids folding, Crew Cuts may be sticking around even more.

    I will probably open a card later this year since I don't really shop at Banana too much anymore. I will definitely wait until a 20% offering. And I'd be sure to have my SA phone in an order for me for any items unavailable in the store. It would be smart to maximize the 1 time use. They could do a 1 time in-store purchase of 20% and also a 1-time web purchase of 20% for new customers. That'd be nice.

  14. Gigi, back in my idealistic twenties, before I had kids, I too thought that when I did someday have kids, they would watch very little or no TV. Ha Ha. Fast forward 15 years and two kids later, and all I can do is try to make goods choices about what they do watch, and at least Disney is relatively clean. There is no escaping from today's media influences, no matter how much we try to shield our children from them.
    Also, maybe the reason Talbots Kids went under is because kids don't want to look like their parents, as I stated yesterday.
