I had a dress and shirt in my shopping cart yesterday and didn't have access to a computer to place my order and now it's gone and no longer in the sale :( I wanted that sequin sweater dress too :crybaby: but I scored a pair of shorts and tee for $14 at the outlets today...you win some and you lose some.

My B&M had the vibrant flame Minnie pants out and ummmm....those suckers are BRIGHT!!!! Almost too bright, IMO. I tried them on and they almost looked a bit neon"ish":wondering:weird:

I'm going to pass on these for now...

yes, they are BRIGHT!!! :roflmfao:

I think these pants will look great with a nude or camel colored shirt and flats. These badboys don't need anything to take away from their glory - let the brightness stand alone =- lol

DC, I agree with nude or camel because black could have you looking "Halloween-ish"
white could work too or color blocking.

The funny thing is a few girls tried them on (when I was trying) and all (including myself) gave them back to the SA-:lolots: The consensus was too bright for fall. My sister said the same thing happened in her store-except one lady tried them on and they looked really cute on her (she was a tall, thin, and straight framed woman) so maybe that's it-LOL because my hips in that fabric and color was like noooooooooooooooo.....:lolots::tdown:

My only other issue is they are too memorable-meaning you couldn't wear those a lot without people noticing or thinking "here she comes with those orange pants again" :p

OK, so we DID get the Saturday pant as well as another knit pant (this one is most like the leggings in store now). This pant has a drawstring at the waistband and looks like it will fit nicely. I'm not sure about the Saturday pant yet... every J. Crew sweatpant I own stretches out to the point of major sagging. I don't have this problem with Pixie pants or the leggings.

Overall, I love what we got but I'm not racing to purchase anything just yet. I'm kind of curious to try the flame Minnies because I think they'd look so chic with a gray blazer, white shirt, and ballet flats or brogues.

Addictista, I know lots and LOTS of women love the Minnie, but I personally prefer the Pixie pant. I have almost no butt so I don't really fill the Minnie out and the pair I have tends to stretch and sag around the bum area. Most J. Crew pants stretch to the point where they are no longer attractive on me but these hold their shape pretty much all day. I LOVE all of my Pixie pants... I have a number of those but only one Minnie.

I saw them in store and they are amazing but I feel like you could only wear them every few months because they are so out there. I disagree about the black though, I think they have enough red in them you wouldn't look like Halloween! I would much rather get a cardigan or something in this color, it's beautiful, but I think I'd get more wear out of it in moderation.

I just got the new catalog - wow. I haven't bought in a couple months, but this new collection is so great my wishlist is packed (a big change from yesterday :D). For some reason I tend to buy more after seeing the stuff in the catalog vs. seeing it online.
