Another year, another failed promise to myself to be more fiscally responsible with one browse through J.Crew. While I'm not an impulse shopper by any means, it feels like something takes over me when I enter the store (in person or online) and, quite embarrassingly, I have a fashion blackout.

I've written about my love for J.Crew several times in the past, with each story growing increasingly more fanatical. This time is no different. While I pledged that 2024 would be the year that I actually stuck to No-Buy January—a movement to reduce consumption and curb unnecessary spending—I just had to pick up a few things from the retailer. From an adorable top I'm wearing to my birthday to the vintage-inspired Lady jacket that screams office-core, these J.Crew finds made my wallet upset but my heart for the brand grow 10 times fonder.
