Hi everyone,
I just need some advice. If anyone remembers the fall lookbook preview that they offered a few months back:
http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature/fall2010womenslookbook.jsp

I wanted to get the sasha peacoat in glen plaid (featured in the 8th photo of the set), but the ones that came in the fall rollout have different buttons. Did anyone ever have any situation like this when J.Crew changed an important detail of an item that you really liked and wanted? What did you do?
 
sometimes J. Crew tweeks pieces for photo shoots. They did this for a jacket I lusted after in the catalog last year, but when it hit the stores it was missing the lace detailing that caught my attention.
 
I just bought the double-wrap jewel stud bracelet in the grey/brown color and the Bronson suede booties in Anchor Grey. The booties are getting shipped to me since they didn't have that color in store... I am SO EXCITED!
 
I've been eyeing the Waxed Utility Jacket but I'm nervous about buying on FS. Can anyone comment on the fit and fabric? The description says it's resin coated so I'm worried that it'll be stiff. Any info would be much appreciated.

I tried it on yesterday and I liked it more than I thought I would, I am thinking about getting it on FS. ALL of their utility jackets run really big from my experience, and this is no exception. I'm a 0/2 in tops and the XS was a little big. I really liked it anyway, and still might get it. The fabric is very stiff and kind of strange... but there was something I really liked about it anyway!

The green one is ugly IRL, so stick with black.
 
Went to my store yesterday and bought an emellished t shirt for 15 which seemed like a decent deal... they work great under cardis and it is starting to cool down here.

I refused to buy anything else because I didn't get a red car (yet? at all? I don't know). If I don't get one, I am not going to buy until the red cards expire.

I did get a 20% online code that I plan to use in the next few days, I'm waiting as long as I can to see if a few things go on sale.

Thanks very much for the feedback! The stiff fabric is a deal breaker for me as I'm picky about fabrics, I'll end up regretting the purchase. I'll be passing on this one but it's really too bad as I really like the look of this jacket.
 
So, just when I had resigned myself to the fact that I was not getting a red card, I got one in today's mail!

I have a question about the red phone though...if I wanted to get the Sutton Boots, which are listed as catalog/internet only, could I get the SA to order it on the red phone and then get the discount? The red card is only for use in-store.
