J Crew ~aholics Thread!

[phiphi]

dc - i love j crew but i love it more when it's on sale!

 

[Needanotherbag]

am I the only one that holds out to only purchase items on sale? I was thinking back to my lust for the leather Atlee skirt when it came out. But I refused to pay close to $400 for it. Waited, waited and waited some more for it to go on sale (took some time) and then POUNCED when it was $150 w/extra 30% off.

I only buy JC on sale, unless its something that really sings to me and I think it will sell out...Anytime I buy something FP, it goes on sale 3 weeks later and theres nothing that makes me more irate!

I only buy on sale, I learned the hard way whan I was a newbie. Did not know then that everything goes on sale there. The shoes I just ordered were only 20% off but it was at least something.

I got the Avenelle cutout wedges today. So far I love them, however I have not been able to walk around much in them, so I can't swear 100% to the comfort. I got them in black, I want the spiced ginger also. It is very flattering on the foot. I just hope I can keep black suede clean!

^ I tried them both on and they feel a tad tight. opps!ush:
Does suede stretch? This is my first try at JC shoes, do they normally run TTS?

 

[Needanotherbag]

^^^I almost always have to order up a half size in their shoes...

 

[cjy]

^ yeah I just tried them again, that is what I think I need.

^ CJY - check your PM box

Does anyone have the Maya Wedges? How is the sizing on that one running?

 

[MolMol]

do you ladies know - if I buy something from the j.crew website can I return it to the store if its "catalog only"? TIA!

 

[DC-Cutie]

^ yes you can

would this apply for flats too? i'm considering a pair of JC flats and i'm usually a 7.5 US.. would that mean i should get an 8?

I can wear an 8.5 and a 9 in most shoes and always get 8.5 in their flats. I've actually heard that their flats run big, but I find them (especially the newer ones) to run completely TTS.

I try to only buy on sale too unless it's something I need right now OR that I know will take 6 months to go on sale (schoolboy blazers, most of the perfect button ups, etc.). I also always keep the tags on something until I wear it that way if it's too late for a price adjustment and it's gone on sale before I wear it, I can just return and rebuy. It is kind of a pain but worth it if it's more than 10$ back for an item.
