So ladies - if you are on the annual plan then the preview has come out. What do you think?? Any pieces so far that you now will be favorites? Any of then not your thing?
The first thing I am side eyeing is the button up jeans. Mainly because if I go to the Factory JCREW site, they are on sale for $69 and if you follow the link given, they show up as $93.50. Not sure why the price difference.
I am not sure about the neck wrap and hair ties. I have long hair so I *could* potentially use the hair ties, but not sure they aren't too young for me.
So, what's your thought?

Button fly jeans are a hard no for me... but I really don’t need any jeans. Well, except for some coral ones. I never found any coral pants last spring and none of the links they gave excite me either. They really have been my holy grail for the last year! Which is frustrating because if they are on trend then why cannot I not find any at my favorite stores!? But I am happy about the olive jacket since I picked one up recently at Evereve. And I love the red blouse they showed, may try and swing by JCF tomorrow and see if they have it since their sizing can be kinda wonky.

I love the hemline of the button flys but don't like the button fly. LOL I was JCF today and tried the red shirt on Its runs big. I am not really liking any of the coral jeans either. May wait those out. I had a pair for last spring but they have holes in the knees, and really need something dressier. |

I forgot it’s that time again. I’ll have to go look. The problem I have with wide leg jeans is that they’ve been showing them short - above ankle - and I don’t like all that flopping around business.

I’m trying to convince myself that a pink trench coat will be just as versatile as the tan, so we’ll see how that works out for me. I have a feeling it will end up in my cart soon.

I have dark coral from last year, and a lighter pinky-coral and dusty mauve I bought a few weeks ago. They (along with white) have been hanging in my closet with tags attached, because I expected them in the spring challenge. I may end up keeping them all.

I haven’t looked at the preview yet but I am not ready to shop for Spring let alone dress for it. We got 9 inches of snow yesterday and I thought I heard someone at work say we might get 1-2 feet this weekend!!
I am also feeling very fat and frumpy so shopping my closet won’t help and I am not looking forward to trying anything on.
This is my first annual challenge; I’m not even sure I can get a refund. Sorry to be such a downer.

I'd chose pink 10 times before tan. I love a pop of color in a rain jacket. We get almost no rain so I won't be buying a trench (or I am not planning on to, anyway). But if I was, I'd look for color. |

Sorry to be such a downer. I still have four feet of snow in my yard. Honestly, if I waited until it was actually spring weather to buy spring stuff, I would never find anything in store. And shopping for it actually helps me make it through the last few months of dreary winter. I would think you could get a refund up until the challenge is released. |

Sorry to be such a downer. You have until midnight tomorrow to request a refund if you are an annual. this is my third annual. I am often ambivalent at the beginning of some seasons for different reasons. But once I see the items and start seeing the outfits on people, I get excited. |

After not loving summer or winter, I decided the annual membership doesn't make sense for me. So I will be waiting until the 8th! See you all then. 😘

We have tons of snow and it has been really cold. I do not plan to buy a lot of things on the list at first since the opportunity to wear everything is so short. I'm going to get the most versatile items and things I like best. As spring goes on I'm hoping to pick up more items on sale. I'm already starting to get tired of my winter clothes.

Looking over the preview, I should be able to shop my closet for reasonable subs for almost everything. I do want to purchase a pair of denim espadrille wedges because I think they're really cute and I'll get a lot of use out of them.

I went ahead and purchased an annual membership, but haven’t seen a spring preview yet.
I hope I’ll mostly be able to shop my closet, as I’d really like to pare down my wardrobe a bit.

Hmmm. I have a pink long Spring coat I bought years ago at Target. It’s not a trench but I’m sure it will work. I think it’s still in my closet and I didn’t get rid of it.

Can someone link the button fly jeans? (are they 'exposed' button fly jeans? not sure if that is what they are called...) That look seems so trendy right now, I think it is a cute look (unless it gets *too* trendy  |

I thought the peas were the best enablers! 😂. |

Ooohhhhh.... what did you think of the red shirt otherwise 🤔 (as I try to decide if spending half of my kid free day is worth a trip to JCF). It kind of reminded me of the one from the summer capsule that I missed out on. |

Absolutely no to the button up jeans. But all in all, I do like the sneak peak items.
I have several of the accessories and shoes, but have put on weight so really don't have many of the clothing items.
I hated the winter one and didn't do that, but I think I'll be doing this spring one.

It kind of reminded me of the one from the summer capsule that I missed out on. Since you asked......I ended up ordering it as they didn't have my size in stock. I tried on the larger size and it is possible I will send the correct size shirt back once I get it. Why? The material is sorta flimsy and will need to be ironed (which isn't a total dealbreaker but it is definitely a strike). The second strike is that it is shorter in the front than back, which is normally fine but I am not sure it if wont be too short in the front for me. The larger size was fine on length but I am afraid the smaller size will be too short. So I am prepared to have to send it back. But I did order it to try it. MY JCF was pretty empty....Loft as well. They are both in this weird stage = no real 'spring' clothes out other than denim shorts and all the winter stuff is pretty picked over. |

I wasn't sold on what was linked but do want a pair. |

What white shoes is everyone thinking about getting? Or do you have a pair you love? I am not loving the leather tennis shoes. I think they look old lady-ish.

The white shoes are a 👎🏻 for me too. DH has a pair of white sneakers he probably bought at least a decade ago (and has never worn) that make me cringe every time he thinks he is going to wear them. I call them his Jerry Seinfeld shoes 😂. I imagine I will sub my matte gold ones from last year or maybe my light yellow NB’s depending on the outfits.
