Oh Really, J.Crew?

, I was very interested to see that J.Crew's new Dixon boot bears a very, very striking resemblance to the Proenza Schouler one I was gaga over last year.
To wit, the Dixon:

And the Proenza original:

I actually went so far as to try on the Dixon, in the futile hope that it might be a good substitute, but the fit is very awkward and it's particularly loose around the ankle area meaning it has a stocky, baggy look instead of the sleek one it should have.

Don't get me started!! First things first: they need a ruffle / floral applique intervention. And enough with the sequined harem pants thrown on with a striped tshirt. That's not a look that actually works!!!

hear! hear! I'm not surprised that I agree with my decor-gurus on this one. I always laugh when they dress up a cute girl (model) in the catalog to look like Jenna who is not exactly my idea of gorgeous...I don't get it! (but i did find her kitchen inspiring, I have to fess up...)
