Can anyone comment on the fit of the 9" chino shorts and the summerweight chino shorts? Specifically, I am trying to track down bermuda shorts with slimmer legs (even down at the bottom). I am petite with slim legs. I want the length of the bermuda but more often than not they can be too wide in the legs and just look frumpy. I love the fun colors in these two styles but am a bit of a drive from a JCrew store so ordering online is my best option.

Thanks!

I bought a dress a few weeks back for $150... today it was $50, but I knew that, so I brought it with me to return/rebuy. The cashier told me she wouldn't do it, because it was past the 7 day price adjustment. I told her that is why I brought the dress, with tags on it, to return and then immediately rebuy it. She got really annoyed and did it, but why should I have to deal with her rudeness? I haven't worn it and am well within the 30 day return period so I don't think I did anything wrong!

Ideally, she should have just done the adjustment for you. I know that's how it would have worked at my store but our store director cares most about making customers happy-- within reason, of course. If she was uncomfortable making such a decision, she should have partnered with her manager.

I know all stores are different but if a situation escalates, the customer should still leave happy.

I was a little hesitant with the PSA situation too; the majority of my purchasing is done online but some months I buy nothing, whereas others (like this one) I need a lot of stuff for something specific, and typically in a hurry. My PSA has never put any pressure on me to buy a lot, and her feelings are never hurt if I don't end up buying items she suggests. It really is an incredibly helpful resource, esp if you don't have a B&M store nearby.

I'm not sure if my PSA is online-only (I think she works at JCrew's main headquarters), but let me know if you want her contact info & I'll PM it to you.

Can anyone here show off their Avenelle suede wedges in action? I'm interested to see how tall they actually look on a person. Also any other comments on them? I am a 6.5 in JCrew boots and hoping it's the same sizing.

Another interesting experience that keeps happening to me with JCrew is that something will be low in stock online, I ask if it will be restocked and get back a NO response and then get directed to the red phone search. Then behold, it gets restocked in a week. Frustrating.

Thank you so much for the review cjy! Much appreciated. I definitely love them.

By half size up, do you mean just your regular size in shoes or JCrew heels specifically?

Can I say I heart this thread? You all are so helpful with products :D

^ Sorry my last post was so short, I was in the middle of something. Ok, my US size is 7.5. I ordered these in a 7.5 and should have known better since these are made in Italy. They were tight and too short. I returned for an 8 and they were perfect. I have worn them perhaps 8 times and they have not stretched alot so they are still perfect. I hoe that helps. Let us know if you get them Also, I put a protector on them since they are suede.

I bought an olive colored Jackie cardigan yesterday for 19.99! I was so shocked, I've been stalking it since Nov 2010 and refused to pay $62 then the 49.99 sale price and I super lucked out. It was tucked between other olive colored sweaters, last one, and in my size. :)

I tried a pair on in the store a few weeks ago because I've been contemplating buying the purple color. They have a nice slim leg (which I don't always find in bermuda shorts), but they run just a bit big. You might be able to get away with sizing down.

Oh I am looking at that also. I have a $25 gift card and I figure the olive is pretty much a year round color. Glad you got a great deal!!!

I have this olive Jackie too, though I think I paid 30 or 40 for it. It's a great color and can probably be worn well into the summer, but the Jackie style doesn't work for me well because I'm so tall. It looks like I shrunk a normal cardigan and put it on, haha. I have reserved it to wear with shorts only because they seem to be a lot higher waisted than my pants so it doesn't look ridiculous!
