Just want to let anyone here who is interested know that I ordered and today tried on the Maritime dress in XS. It's a very popular dress and sizes XXS and XS are now back ordered until May. I will be returning mine because I find the fabric too thick and the inside seams in the sleeves a bit scratchy. The blue/white stripes are beautiful. I've seen other reviewers (on blogs about J Crew) comment that the dress is shapeless and too short. I agree with them. An XXS would be a better cut for my figure, but then I think it would be way short even unbelted as a tunic dress. Even the XS is short, especially since I have to belt it to get any shape out of it, coming up to mid-thigh for me (I am 5 - 2 1/2, 114 lbs). It feels kind of beach-y to me, but then the fabric is too thick for that purpose. It's a very cute looking dress for $78, but for me it's neither here nor there so it's going back.
 
HOW?! The lolli pants were sold-out since forever!

Girl, I was stalking the site EVERYDAY, a few times a day even. Then all of a sudden, they popped up!

We should take a petition and ask them to bring back the lolli pants.

I concur!

Whitley - I love the tiered skirt on you:yahoo:, not feeling the purple skirt. Reminds me of cupcake frosting and the shape is kinda odd...

Tamarind - thanks for the review. I was thinking about that dress and found a perfect dupe at H&M for $20.
 
So what do ya'll htink of the driftwood schoolboy blazer? I bought it but I am not sure if it is a keeper. I ordered it in the gray color and took that back already because it is SO dark it looks black, and I really wasn't looking for a black blazer right now.

I love the fit and look and material, but my only problem is the color. I wish it was a grayer color instead of a taupey light brown mixed with the white. I am really pale and I have always hated "khaki" tones on me because it really washes me out combined with my hair color which is a light orangey brown.

Anyone know when the new stuff comes out? I want them to come out with a lightweight navy or gay schoolboy blazer. I love the wool navy one but I want something for spring and that is just to hot.
 
Ladies, can anyone give any advice on the Thomas Mason shirts for J Crew? Are they worth the money? I want a classic white shirt and I have eyed these for a while but have never seen in person.
Also, does anyone one have the oxford flats? I love them but on the fence as to what all I would wear them with. They are so classic though!! Oh decisions!
TIA!!!!
