Respect the Outfits (J. Crew)

I think there are very few of us gals without at least one piece from J. Crew in our closets (OK, maybe you, Ady  ;o). I've been a long-time wearer and lover of The Crew - I own countless slubby tissue tees, cardigans in a rainbow assortment and their Perfect fit button-downs are perfect for me. I still mourn the loss of the hip-slung fit jeans and the colorful tweed jackets from '06 / '07.

It is good to know that I am not alone in my appreciation of the preppy-edged Crew and some of my gorgeous readers this week contributed some fantastic outfits showing off their Crew for this week's Respect the Outfits feature. So without further ado ...
