I bought a couple men's button up shirts in xs and a men's sweater in s. They're surprisingly SO well cut to my shape. I'm small and only 5'2'', but I'm very flat chested, relatively broad and have a squarish torso. The shirts are long, but they look SO good. A total revelation.. LIKE I needed to get into more trouble at the Crew!

I like the men's stuff too! At the factory store they had a great shawl collar cardigan and I tried it on in a S and I think I'm going to go back and get it. It's a little big but it looks like a great grandpa cardigan type thing. I wish they had XS, but they don't at the factory store. I am going to be checking out all of the men's sweater in XS now.
 
My 25% off order was fairly conservative, but that's because I shopped in-store last week. :D I re-ordered the Natasha top I never received and I added the double serge pencil in heathered acorn and got the dream dolman sweater in black.

Last week in-store I got the Talia top in navy (but I really needed a petite size and I got regular instead), a couple of sale shirts, and the city sweater in acorn.

I am on the fence about the city sweater - I got it on the sweater promo, but it's a size big on me. On the other hand, it's a poncho so it's supposed to be slouchy. I tried in with stuff in my closet and it only works with skinny jeans and leggings. It's too drapey on my small frame to work with much else and it doesn't work belted on me. I'm just not sure if it's worth keeping what's essentially a throwaway piece - I will wear it a couple times this season and probably never again.
 
I'm dying for these (in all colors):

I got my order with matchstick cords yesterday and I really like them, but they seem short. I measured and the inseam is really only 31" even though it says it should be 32". Is this normal? Should I ask for a different pair or will they all be like this? They don't make the talls in my size and I've never needed tall before so I don't know what to do.
