[QUOTE=Ella S;295739][IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWCOVER020109.jpg[/IMG]Winter freeze got you down? The new [URL="http://jezebel.com/tag/j%27-crew/"]J. Crew[/URL] catalog is all warmth, softness and light. Plus, some very "Mom-In-Chief"-friendly ensembles Ms. Obama might like! Let's take a look:
 First, can we just say YAY for 65-year-old Ms. Lauren Hutton on the cover? Sporting a few actual, gorgeous wrinkles? Fantastic. "Wrinkly" is not a dirty word, and there's no such thing as "anti-aging." You are aging every minute of every day. Get over it.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JENNASPICKS020109.jpg[/IMG]The catalog opens with "Jenna's picks," but forgets to tell you who Jenna is*. Gayle, the copy informs us, is the "women's stylist." Anyway, this page looks like [I]Lucky[/I] did about three years ago, which is: Not bad.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWtwo020109.jpg[/IMG]Dammit. It's just a trenchcoat, but she makes it look so effortless, so chic. If only it were this easy. Some of us end up looking like large beige sofas.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWthree020109.jpg[/IMG]Behold: The jeans Katie Holmes hath wrought. Pretty? Chic? Sleek? In a word: No.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWfour020109.jpg[/IMG]Twinsets! A cardigan addict's dream. If only they would make the shell a scoopneck, so [I]some[/I] skin shows. It's a wee too buttoned up, too restrained, too "boarding school dress code" the way it is.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWfive020109.jpg[/IMG]But look at all the pretty colors!
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWsix020109.jpg[/IMG]Sigh. I want to go to there.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWseven020109.jpg[/IMG]Okay. [URL="http://jezebel.com/tag/michelle-obama/"]Michelle Obama[/URL] wore yellow on [I]The Tonight Show[/I] with Jay Leno, and she wore a yellow shade called "lemongrass" on inauguration day. What are the chances she'll pick up this "bright sun" dress for a White House garden party?
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWeight020109.jpg[/IMG]Gah! More cardigans. Yes please!
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWnine020109.jpg[/IMG]The silk Penelope dress comes short and long, and J. Crew's serving suggestion is as a bridesmaid dress. But perhaps Ms. Obama could wear one to dinner?
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWten020109.jpg[/IMG]Adorable faux-wedding party. And how cute is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cintia_Dicker"]Cintia Dicker[/URL], second from the left? The smile, the freckles, the ginger hair = girlcrush.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWeleven020109.jpg[/IMG]Seriously, she's got something there.
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWtwelve020109.jpg[/IMG]This Daphne dress comes in "light chartreuse," but it seems lemony enough that Ms. Obama could pull it off, no?
 
 [IMG]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jezebel/2009/02/JCREWthirteen020109.jpg[/IMG]This outfit is more Ellen DeGeneres than Michelle Obama, but still awesome.
