February At J. Crew: What You & Michelle Obama Can Wear This Spring [Today In Catalogs]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...OVER020109.jpgWinter freeze got you down? The new J. Crew 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.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...ICKS020109.jpgThe 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 Lucky did about three years ago, which is: Not bad.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...Wtwo020109.jpgDammit. 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.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...hree020109.jpgBehold: The jeans Katie Holmes hath wrought. Pretty? Chic? Sleek? In a word: No.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...four020109.jpgTwinsets! A cardigan addict's dream. If only they would make the shell a scoopneck, so some skin shows. It's a wee too buttoned up, too restrained, too "boarding school dress code" the way it is.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...five020109.jpgBut look at all the pretty colors!

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...Wsix020109.jpgSigh. I want to go to there.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...even020109.jpgOkay. Michelle Obama wore yellow on The Tonight Show 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?

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...ight020109.jpgGah! More cardigans. Yes please!

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...nine020109.jpgThe 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?

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...Wten020109.jpgAdorable faux-wedding party. And how cute is Cintia Dicker, second from the left? The smile, the freckles, the ginger hair = girlcrush.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...even020109.jpgSeriously, she's got something there.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...elve020109.jpgThis Daphne dress comes in "light chartreuse," but it seems lemony enough that Ms. Obama could pull it off, no?
