J.Crew of Seasons Past: {a look in the closet}

It's that time again, to take a look at an image of J.Crew pieces from seasons past! As caribbelle (in this post) so beautifully termed, "ye olde j crew of yore".

This post features the Toulouse Silk-Ruffle Jacket with romantic silk ruffle trim all over. The sweater meets jacket came in a 12-gauge wool knit, which meant it would last more than a few wearings!

As an aside, I love the model used for this look! J.Crew used her quite a bit in 2007 and frankly, they need to bring her back!

What are your thoughts on the look(s)/item(s) from the past? Do you find the look(s)/item(s) classic or do you think they are dated?
