Back to School with J.Crew

Anonymous at 12:48 AM (in the "A Quick Note to J.Crew Aficionadas" post) came up with a great suggestion which is a "back to school" post about what items from J.Crew would we purchase for "going away to college with a chic, j.crew, wardrobe". Moreover, we can also discuss what items we would purchase for work and even provide links to Polyvore made outfit-sets. I love this post suggestion! :)

Personally, I love the outfit shown on the image to the right. I keep staring at this outfit combination in the new Fall catalog. I think this is an excellent outfit because it is both casual [thanks to the the Merino lady jacket (Item 96538; $138.00) and the Slub-cotton beaded shoe tee (Item 97627;$39.50)] and tailored [thanks to the Sparkle plaid tweed pencil skirt (Item 96176;$175.00),] making it an overall polished look.

What items from J.Crew would you purchase for the new school semester or for work? What outfits would you put together?
