Picture it: Dinner at nearby chain restaurant (I freaking hate chain restaurants, but we were unable to agree on an acceptable location).
Him: You look cute today
Me: Thanks! This is my new pencil skirt from J.Crew and I LOVE IT.
Him: Aren’t you worried that you’re getting close to being too old to shop at J.Crew.
Me: Blank Stare, and perhaps some tears.
Remind me to tell him about Lauren Hutton.

If you had said you got that skirt at “The Limited TOO” then, and only then, that comment would’ve been acceptable.

That kind of comment is NEVER acceptable!
You must get him back! Maybe an accident happens to his new iPhone. Maybe not.

My husband said the same thing to me once about the Gap. Guys are so dumb sometimes.

Ouch. That’s right up there with my husband telling me that my belly looked like the nose cone of a jumbo jet when I was pregnant.
I am impressed you didn’t kill him on the spot!

He obviously doesn’t realize that you are the target demographic for a store like that. Does he think 18 year old girls can afford to dress like that?
If he had said this about Forever 21 then MAYBE I could wrap my mind around it.

Also: I forgot to mention that I witnessed this same boyfriend purchasing board shorts from J.Crew not even 2 weeks ago.

The only way to redeem himself is through the purchase of three new pairs of JCrew shoes. He is so very, very wrong. Not one pair, not two, but THREE pairs.

I do NOT think that you are ANYWHERE near being too old to shop there. Not at all.
ps. you probably looked adorable.

Uh oh! J Crew is classic! I see 50 year olds rocking the J Crew looking fab. You’re never too old for great looking well made clothing.

I don’t think you CAN be to old to shop at J. Crew. That doesn’t even make sense.

unless you are showing up in a tube top, he needs to learn to shut it!

WHAT?! The First Lady shops at J. Crew. Boys are always wrong about the important stuff.

If it makes you feel any better, my husband thinks I am too YOUNG to shop at Jcrew. He’s like, isn’t that place for people over 60? Seriously. What planet.

If the First Lady still shops there, I think you’re in good company. Although I just recently stopped shopping in the junior department at certain stores, so maybe I’m not the best judge.

He said what?! J.Crew is what you wear when you’re too old for Express and too young for Talbots. Jeez.
By Sylke on 07.01.09 10:18 am | Permalink
Oh I know he didn’t. I didn’t know J Crew came with an age limit. I must have missed that class.

What?!? Seriously what the hell was he thinking?
Men are stupid (sometimes), heck I’m glad I love my husband because there are a lot of times I don’t like him much.

Um… I’m not too fashion conscious myself, but doesn’t Michelle Obama wear J. Crew? And she rocks it!
