Beware of the outlet stores. The "Factory Outlet" stores are actually a completely different line than the retail stores. The "clearance stores" (in Lynchburg and somewhere in NC) sell retail clothes at discount prices because they are returns or damaged, etc. The "Factory Outlet" stores sell their own line of products that sometimes may resemble the cut or style of a past retail item but are made specifically for the outlet.

I have been shopping at J.Crew for a long time both retail and factory outlet and I refuse to buy anything at the outlet anymore except t shirts and other items that don't traditionally last a long time. The retail store has far superior quality and the prices aren't much better at the outlet when you consider you are getting a much lower quality piece. It's really disappointing. I do however highly recommend the clearance stores!

I went to the clearance store in NC (little town near Ashville) and I had a FIELD day :yahoo:. ITA with you about the quality. I only get tees, tanks, flipflops and accessories from the outlets

DC Cutie, thanks for the offer but I had them do a store search and the Bazaar Tunic dress is nowhere to be found. I was at the Reston store yesterday and picked up some other things.
baby pink tank
sequined striped tank
capri's
I'm happy with the new purchases.

call Georgetowns (damn, I sound like a broken record). Yesterday, I saw the Bazaar shirts and skirts. There may be one tucked away in the back. I seem to have the best luck there.

Eek placed a big order this morning- I was up early for the sale section update- as usual, big update after a code ends. I hope it all ships!

I placed two orders this morning :blushing: (I swear they updated twice)

Carlin coat in bright hydrangea

^^^What kind of shoes do you wear with it?
I can only imagine myself wearing it with gold strappy sandals. I am not creative and that's why I'm asking! TIA!

ShoeLover -- I don't have it, but just at a quick glance, I think it would look great with pink heels (yep, I have a pair! actually more versatile than you'd think :p), nude patent heels, camel heels, dark brown heels...gold strappy sandals would be pretty too :smile1:.

I agree with samhainophobia- I'm wearing my sunshine peony cardigan tomorrow to a graduation and I was playing around with shoe choices to go with the cardigan- nude heels, pink heels (I have like 4 pairs :p), yellow heels, navy heels...the list goes on and on!
