My post was for the non-stretch ones, but I find that the stretch runs run even bigger. An XS in the stretch ones for me is too big around the hips but fits well at the chest.
One of the SAs at my store said new rollout the 14th! I am anxiously awaiting it. I need some sort of spring jacket or blazer to throw on in the mornings if it's chilly and nothing they have is doing it for me. I love the herringbone schoolboy blazer but I couldn't deal with the fibers from the seams stabbing me so I returned it. I also like the matinee trench but it is a little expensive for what it is and I don't think very warm. I may end up getting it anyway.
I did some damage at J.Crew today -- I was definitely in a dress mood. I bought the Maritime dress (so happy they had it in the XS --- didn't want to wait for the long back order online) and Liberty bouquet shirt dress. I'm a little unsure about the shirt dress -- I think I'd like to get a fun belt, maybe bright yellow, to wear with it. I did feel a little like I was in elementary school again.
^ SuLi, that's exactly how I felt wearing the liberty bouquet shirt dress when I tried it on with flats 
. It's very cute though...maybe pair it with some high heeled wedges or big hoop earrings for a more sophisticated look.

Size small would be great. It was still full price when I checked this weekend.
Thank you!!
OK, so I repurchased the Maritime. Initially I thought I found a duplicate at H&M. But upon further inspection the H&M dress is thinner and shorter. I liked the zipper detail on the Maritime and the fact that I can wear it more slouchy (I actually purchased 2 one in a Medium for a sloucher fit and in a Small for a more fitted look, but it's not tight).
I also went on a mini-spree yesterday. Here is what I got:
Organza Dot Skirt - the color is going to be beautiful for the spring/summer
Aurora tweed pencil skirt - I think this will work year round
Bonfire Cardigan - this is a heavy sweater! But somebody made a mistake and priced it in-store for $29.99 +30%
off
Some vintage Tees - these are on sale too!
and a few other pieces I don't see online, but I'll post pics tonight or tomorrow..

Here are the other pieces:
Dorrie Skirt (in modern red)- very cute, it's a linen blend so hopefully it won't wrinkle as much as 100% linen.
1035 trouser & jacket superfine cotton (in navy & smokey graphite)- because you just need a nice cotton suit in the warmer months

I went to my nearby B&M yesterday looking for work clothes. They didn't have any additional % off sale. I tried on the Minnie pants and 2 pairs of cotton trousers. I usually take a 6 in pants and that's what I tried but they were huge. Any pant/skirt recs?
I went down 2 sized in the Miniie pant.
Which cotton trousers did you try on? Are you looking for suiting type skirts or just work appropriate?
Oh, my store didn't have 30% off, but my PS applied the online promo. You store can do the same, just ask.
