Love the dress on both of you!! I bought the matching blouse.

Shoot. I should've ordered a bright pencil skirt, too. I hemmed and hawed about it and let it go. Of course, I want it now.

Greentea, thank you for suggestions on jcrew sizing. :smile1: :smile1: :smile1: I caved in and ordered today the 120s skirt in serge wool in that bright azalea color ! It looks so pretty and girlie ! Still unsure about the size, so ordered 2 and 4 just in case and will return one :)
 
Thanks Duke, Greentea, CJY, Alouette and Eclipse (the dress looks just darling on you!)

MichelleAntonia - I apologize for the obvious enabling:yes: But, it's truly a nice dress. You can dress it up or down and best of all, IMO, it's a seasonless dress - get more wear for your money!
 
I bought this dress but am not sure if I'll keep it. Is the shape unflattering?

I have that dress and LOVE it! It's shapeless, but looks really cute with tights and booties - that's how I wore it this weekend.

This dress looks great on on both of you! I really wanted the top in this print but the color completely washed me out.
 
Does anyone own the cashmere hoodie? Is it warm? Does it pill? I really want to get a hoodie but I don't want to drop $ for something that won't look good in a few months...
 
I am getting the pencil skirt in the dark grey color but I am undecided about whether to get the bright blue or the neon azalea... Suggestions? Advice?
When in doubt, order both to see how it works with your coloring and current items in your wardrobe.

IMO, the quality of J crew cashmere has diminished - lots of pilling If you really want it, wait for a sale, plus coupon code.
 
A while back I said that I would dye my JC Greer platforms from a warm sienna to a dark brown and do before and after pics:

It was a little bit scary to think I might possibly ruin shoes that I spent almost $200 on, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out! So far I've only done one coat and there are some crannies I need to get to with a q-tip. The lighting makes one shoe look darker than the other, but IRL, they came out pretty even.

You both look great! I just ordered this yesterday and I have to wait until February 2012 to get it! I ordered a 2 which is my usual size, but I am very curvy at the bottom. How would you describe the fit?

Wow, you did a fantastic job!

I accidentally picked it up in a size 4 (in the pic). It fit fine actually, but took. It back to get my correct size, 6.

The fit it really straight up and down. So I think you'll be fine with your regular size.
 
Update: My yellow peacoat arrived today and as I suspected, the size 0 is a perfect fit:) The yellow color is quite a bit brighter than I thought it would be. I've got to get my DD to ballet and I will try to post pics later tonight.
