J Crew ~aholics Thread!

Is Sasha wearing the Townhouse Trench? How does that style run compared to the Lady Day coat?.....how about compared to the Carlin coat? I was hoping to get that coat for 50+% off after Christmas/New Year's.....but it looks like it'll probably sell out before then.....hmmm.

The townhouse is the most fitted of all my j crew coats. I have the carlin and this one from '07, can't remember the name:

Hi, all

I'm a big J.Crew fan, but this is my first time posting in this thread. I was hoping you all could help me out. The SA's at my local store are all older ladies, and not very helpful

I've been lusting after the Pixie pants for a few seasons, and I'm stuck between sizes. Not quite sure how they're supposed to fit...

A 4 is totally comfortable, but saggy in the crotch. The waist fits perfect but everything else is loose.

A 2 requires a dance to get into, but once they're on, they're comfortable, too. The only thing is I think they may do a little camel toe :/

Which should I go for? Do they maintain their shape? Or should I just pass?

Thanks!

I passed on the pixie due to saggy crotch. Have you tried on the Minnie?

I have the Pixie pants and mine are a 2 as well. I don't have the camel toe issue, but mine have maintained their shape well. But I have Minnie pants as well, and like them too.

I also don't have any problem with the Pixie and saggy crotch, but my size 4 stretched during the day.

Get the 2. They stretch, and they are meant to be skin tight. I prefer these to the Minnie in terms of overall look, but I do like the fit of the Minnie better. The Minnies look like old lady Capri pants on me for some reason. The pixie gives me a sleeker look. To be completely honest I ended up passin on the Minnie and returning hem and bought some black high waisted skinny jeans instead. I feel much more comfortable with back pockets so they will not be mistaken for leggings.

I'm 5'7, I'm thinking about the 7" chino shorts for spring, when more fun colors arrive. However, I have a few questions:

1) Are the loose at the bottom, or tight?
2) Are the 9" too long?
3) What is the twill like?
4) How comfortable are they?

I know it seems like it's to soon to be thinking about shorts, but I'm fixing to move back to NC, and it was high 60's in Febuary last year .

BTW, I just bought the eggplant townhouse trench a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it!! I'm usually a size 10, but I'm loosing weight so I bought an 8. The only place it was tight was the arms. It's fine next year it will fit perfectly. Oh I considered getting a tall, since it hits mid thigh, however the regular fits great. The only problem, is the arm length was a little short, but I believe you can let the cuffs out?
