Join my Crew…

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

Like everyone else, I’m a bit of a J Crew fan. It’s a brand that loves leopard and stripes (almost) as much as I do and its preppy yet cool twist on trends is in a league of its own. 

Washed cotton trench: £168, J Crew. Painter t-shirts (layered), £29 each, J Crew. ‘Marlo’ cross body bag: £108, J Crew. ‘Billie’ demi-boot crop jeans, £128, J Crew. ‘Sam’ sunglasses: £118, J Crew.

Now I would be lying if I told you my whole wardrobe was J Crew – not everything is attainable on my clothing budget – but my favourite oversized denim jacket? And my classic pale blue stripe shirt I take away on every work trip? J Crew of course. 

For me, it’s never about having a wardrobe of one brand but a healthy mix of mid brands, a few designer pieces (saved over the years) all slotted in with classic high street clothes. And J Crew fits that mid bracket of quality, chic pieces which you know you’re going to wear and wear.

These leopard flats have already had a good bit of coverage on Instagram and I know they’ll be game-changers in my wardrobe. And these ‘Painter tees’ are the perfect composition t-shirts, a heavier fabric than the vintage cotton ones I’ve had before, and the ideal weekend wardrobe basics.

So now for the good bit – I would love for you to join me at the J Crew Sloane Square store, Thursday 14th April between 6-8pm for an exclusive shopping evening with 20% discount on the night. There will be drinks, canapes and the gorgeous Chiara from Lamplighter London will be on hand to draw beautiful lettering in both black and also in her signature neon ink for you to take away. 

I enjoyed meeting everyone at my last shopping event and communal shopping?! What’s not to love? Please RSVP your attendance to jcrewxthefrugality@thisismission.com.

I look forward to seeing you there! #JCrewxTheFrugality
