Anyone have any opinions on the puffer vest? Either specifically or the general idea of puffer vests? I like that it isn't too puffy and doesn't make me look like a marshmallow. It seems like it will be a great "third piece" but I don't want to look like a soccer mom (no offense to any soccer moms, I am just only 25 and trying to go for a slightly more stylish look).

I'm like you, it's a great 3rd piece since layering is great in the fall/winter. I hate bulky coats, so the vests are great options. I don't feel or look like a soccer mom.

Jordan - your a tiny girl, so I seriously doubt you'd look like a marshmallow - LOL

Haha, thanks! I guess I just have seen them worn a lot in a NON flattering way, so I am trying to make sure I can make it work. The problem might be that I need an XXS, but it is sold out in the colors I like online and my store didn't get any so I ended up getting an XS and the arm holes are a bit big. It looks really cute with a button up and scarf but I'm having trouble coming up with any other stylish combos (versus just a hoodie or a plain sweater, which is how I see them worn around here).

Also, DC, everything you wear is stylish, so I am sure yours looks awesome!
 
Also, any reviews of the Majesty Peacoat? I just pulled my old pea coat out of the closet and it is too short on me. The Majesty is at least 2 inches longer so I want to try that out. TTS? Has anyone seen either of the grays in real life? I am leaning towards the lighter but not sure.
 
I finally got the Natasha top and it's a great top. It's good with jeans (tucked in or left out), pencil skirts, or under a jacket or sweater. I will definitely pick it up in a couple more colors when it goes on sale.
 
did you size down? I had to get them in size 4! Sizing is all over the place at J. Crew these days
I normally wear 26/27 in pants and I got these in a P4 because I am so short. They are a bit tight in the thigh and butt area though. I have them in Port Wine and Navy, but I am contemplating getting the tangerine color. I really love the pants, I just kind of hate the fit!
