I took a size 2 and they are perfect. In the cotton ones from the summer I took a 0. I like these better how they fit the cotton capris wrinkled very bad and I thought they ran big. These seem to be TTS. I would order the dahlia now if your size is available. You can always return if you don't like them. I just didn't want to miss out on this color. I also orders the city mini which I think will be cute with black tights in the winter. Same color of course.
you're too kind!! i may need to revisit my decision to pass on these pants..
I have 2 pair of the perfect chino's from a couple seasons ago that have a bright print. One pair is pink, purple, lime green mainly floral the other pair is red, navy, black and a lighter blue paisley. I will never give them up(even if my husband makes fun of me everytime I wear them, men!)because I think they're such a great twist on a classic. These are the same. I love them. Can't wait to get them.and these pants are soooo not my style, but I bit the bullet:
I tried on the Schoolboy blazer in the store and bought a Hacking jacket online. I found the wool to be pretty thin with the Schoolboy, the wool was a bit itchy and the fabric quality was not up to par. It seemed to be wrinkle-prone.
The Hacking jacket was a much more substantial feeling wool and it fit wonderfully. The length of this jacket is slightly longer than the Schoolboy though.
I would personally vote for the Hacking jacket. I did a review with pics here if you are interested: http://notesfromdressingroom.blogspot.com/2011/08/quick-review-j-crew-hacking-jacket.html
CJY - I was able to get a picture of the LuLu Frost Deco Bracelets. My first impression - very chunky and top heavy. If the diamonds were inlaid, it would make the bracelets much more classy. They way they just sit on top is distracting. I'm going to pass. Beautiful to look at, though.. Maybe I'll order the smaller ones

But, I didn't leave totally underwhelmed, I picked up this cuff.

You are the absolute sweetest thing ever! I hope I can repay you for all you do on this thread one day! So, I will focus my attention on the smaller ones, cheaper anyway! Thae black does looks rather chunky. Thank you!!!!CJY - I was able to get a picture of the LuLu Frost Deco Bracelets. My first impression - very chunky and top heavy.

May I present the Vintage Tweed jackets in Mustard and Navy.
These jackets remind me of the swing jacket from '08, that I love dearly...
@Amee - I ordered the Envelope Coat in Heather Caramel (basically, Camel) and it's arriving tomorrow. I figured it would be a classic piece for years to come, plus it has that cool that 70s vibe, I'm loving this fall! Not to mention I absolutely adore the shape. I have butterflies in my stomach, I'm so excited! Did you decide on a coat?
I would love to hear from you when you get your coat and perhaps some modeling pictures!?!
I keep going back to it.
Thank you fshnonmymind! Your review was really helpful and that blue hacking jacket looks great on you
