Where Are You November?

J Crew, don't you love me any more? Haven't I bought enough broken in chinos this year? Don't I know that the green argyle socks are called "lawn" and the pink are called "azalea?" Don't I keep my Gordon suede wingtips cleaned and buffed? Didn't I upgrade to thinsulate in my Baywater Peacoat? Is it because I don't pop my collar? I knew it, it is because I don't pop my collar isn't it? Or because I bought my lambswool halfzip from Lands End?

It is nearly November and I don't yet have the November J Crew! I know you have new products available, because I've seen them on your website. It is almost time for your "Last Minute Gifts" edition with the cool accessories like cuff links and flasks. Don't forget about me Mickey! I need my preppy furnishings!

And to top it all off we got a very dissapointing Restoration Hardware catalog today. I was all excited to see what cocktail shakers were available in this year's Holiday catalog. But no! Not a single cocktail shaker there. Don't you know the evangelicals are on their way out? We can drink freely, folks! Its been a tough retail day today. Though I was cheered up when I got home after a long day at the office to find that S had fried green tomatoes, sushi, and miso soup waiting for me. I'll have to console myself further with a whiskey sour.
