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.

I saw this jacket, styled above by one of my favorite influencers Abisola Omole, and had to buy it immediately.

I've never clicked "add to cart" faster.

These wide-leg jeans are just slouchy enough without looking too baggy—I'm obsessed.

I'm predicting brushed knitwear will be a major trend for the rest of 2024.

I don't think I can ever resist a trench coat.

I simply know that this sweater would go with everything.

These earrings were probably my most-worn silver pair of 2023.

If you're looking for a cool, casual way to wear double denim, opt for this button-down with a sleek pair of jeans.

I have these in red, and honestly, I'm eyeing these adorable ballet-pink ones.

I have this sweater in red, and yep, it's just as good IRL as it looks online.

If you're looking to elevate your black leather booties this winter and spring, may I suggest a fun calf-hair version?

Picking up an elegant, minimalist bag is never out of the question.

This entire look is just *chef's kiss*, down to the fuzzy gray sweater.

I'll leave you with this timeless find.
