I just put in an order but nothing exciting. I got the Pixie pants (which will most likely be too big and I will end up returning them) and some shirts. I am on backorder for the merino boyfriend sweatshirt which is the only piece I'm excited about. I also got the Natasha top and the Greta wedges on sale.

Black and I really hope they'll fit me. I'm super small and had to get my Minnies altered extensively. The Pixies look more "legging-like" so I'm hoping they'll be tight enough around my legs because I really want them for all my fall looks.

ETA: Dukeprincess - I just saw that you had to size down in your Pixies. Now I'm really worried because there is no down size for me! Fingers crossed that I can make these work!

Thanks to everyone on this thread for all the help and advice! :smile1:

Addictista, I hope you sized down in the merino boyfriend sweatshirt. I did a review of that on my blog and it is really boxy and big!!

Thanks for the advice. I'm the smallest size in J.Crew so there's no sizing down for me. Sometimes with wool I can do a controlled dryer shrink session, so maybe I'll do that if I need to. I was planning on wearing the sweater over a tank and with skinnies and hopefully the Pixie pant. I was even thinking of experimenting with it over some of my pencil skirts. I have to go look at the review on your blog.

ETA: Okay I just looked at your blog and I'm worried! I'll post a review here when the sweater comes. Love your blog btw - I have to add it to my daily internet visit roster. I like how you link to everything you're wearing.

Here is my take on the boyfriend sweater - it was bit big, but I didn't find it boxy. As with most pieces of clothing, how they look on everyone will vary, because we all have different body shapes.

I ordered a size 2 and they fit perfect. I usually always take a 2 in all Jcrew pants and the double serge pencil skirts. I think you will be ok. Good luck.

^^I love my Pixie pants, but I did go down 2 sizes! I wear them all the time. I got the cropped pixie and they are to my ankles and I am 5'8!

Thanks for the info! I bought the bigger of my usual two sizes and they are fine but I'm worried about stretching since I won't be drying them. Do they stretch a lot when wearing? I think I might exchange.

What do you wear shoes wise with cropped pants? I have some black minnies I have worn a couple of times but I always look stupid in them because it looks out of proportion. I am 5'9" with long legs so that isn't the issue, but they look weird on me! I want to make them work! Ballet flats look absolutely ridiculous, and I don't wear heels, so I am at a loss. That's why I bought the pixie, because it is normal length.

They are way better about holding their shape than the Minnie. I don't have any stretch problems with mine. I went down sizes because I am curvy but have a small waist. So I wanted them to actually fit all over, which worked because the pant has so much stretch. My Minnies have stretched tremendously.

I wear my Pixies with ballet flats and I don't think they look stupid! I think you are too critical of yourself. :smile1: I've also worn them with wedge lace up booties as well and it works out nicely.

I thinkt he Pixies look great with ballet flats, it is the Minnies that look weird. DH says the Minnie hits me at the wrong place and it needs to be longer, so maybe that is why I like the Pixie so much. They are too big at my waist too and I feel like I'm going to have to pull them up all day. I am going to try them on again today or tomorrow and figure it all out. Thanks!!

I love the Eden Cardi too...I have 4 of them. I was nervous about washing them but maybe I can try now.What kind of soap did you use?

I used my usual detergent (All Free Clear for allergies). I used just a little bit because I was only washing one item. Now that I know I can hand wash it I think I'm going to get a couple more in different colors!
