J.Crew of Seasons Past: {a look in the closet}

It's that time again, to take a look at an image of J.Crew pieces from seasons past! As caribbelle (in this post) so beautifully termed, "ye olde j crew of yore".

This post features the Merino Wool Peacoat Sweater. The gold buttons and belt are a lovely detail for this adorable sweater. I also can't help but love the smile... we need to see more of those on J.Crew's models.

What are your thoughts on the look(s)/item(s) from the past? Do you find the look(s)/item(s) classic or do you think they are dated?
