“I prefer height gifted”

Written by Maura

Call me a prepster or a yuppie if you must, but I am a sucker for some J.Crew. I probably sound like every stereotype of a J.Crew customer..a tall, skinny, white sorority girl with a beach house. But frankly, my faves have been getting more and more expensive and little miss broke college girl is having to calm down on my purchases..aha! but alas, until 6/10 there is a sale on online purchases only of an extra 20% off items that are already on sale(insert coupon code EXTRA20 at checkout)..double the discount..woop woop. That last sentence is like music to my ears..I’m an online shopping fool and a discount on J.Crew, I am so there. I like it for a lot of reasons, and just because you don’t think of yourself as a J.Crew type of person doesn’t mean you should totally disregard it. J.Crew is great for basics..their perfect tee is ideal for everyday wear and they stay looking nice forever..its good quality and super flexible in your wardrobe. They know how to make a t-shirt and jeans still look presentable and I love that.

Here’s one of the biggest reasons I enjoy me a good J.Crew online shopping experience: my height. It’s in the blood really, my family has two distingushing characteristics, we’re pukers(but we’ll save that for a whole nother article) and we’ve got a few inches on the average joe. J.Crew always has my shoe size (10, sometimes 11) and their long jeans are long enough that I can wear heels with them, which I probably shouldn’t be wearing anyway because the ones I love generally make me about 6’2″. But anyone that knows me knows that I don’t get a little thing like towering over guys I talk to get me down..I like shoes and they like me and I intend to wear my heels with pride..deal with it fellas. So next time you are thinking of updating your basics wardrobe or if you are one of my height gifted sisters (the term I prefer to Amazon woman) check out J.Crew and I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
