I'm eyeing their cropped pants now, too :D (my black Gap ankle-length pants turn out to be perfect for work/teaching during warmer weather), but I'm wondering what is the difference between the Minnie Crop and the Cafe Capri?
I'm a size 4 in the 1035 Trouser pant, and I have a small waist, average hips, larger thighs--would either the Minnie or Cafe fit my body shape? And would a 6 petite work if I wear a 4 in the 1035 Trousers?

ETA: I should mention, I tried the Paley pants and they were horrendous on me. Do the Minnie or Cafe Capri fit like the Paley pant? If so, I should stay away.

The Minnie is more fitted and has a side zip for a clean front look. I have the same body type as you and love the black Minnies but have not yet tried the Cafe Capris. I'm usually a 2 in JCrew skirts and blouses and an XS in tees and dresses and I wear a 0 in the Minnie.

Thank you! :smile1: I just searched for reviews for both pairs and saw that the Minnie has a side zip (didn't realize that before). I'm leaning toward the Cafe Capris, which also sound like they run large, which I think means I should size down to a 4p? That is scary, especially since they are final sale.

Calling all Cece flats owners...did you guys have a break in period with these? I have a pair of suede ones and they are the correct size, but the elastic on the sides of the toe is killing me. It's my first time wearing them and I hope they stretch out like TB Revas do over time. Any experience with these flats?

I tried on the Minnie last week and found that they are indeed more fitted than the Cafe Capris. I tried on my usual size in the Minnie and they fit okay, but I can see where you would be able to go down one size in these pants.

I took a gamble ordering the Cafe Capris (final sale) in wool yesterday. I sized down and I hope they fit okay! For $49.99 I thought it was worth the risk.

On a side note, in my search for fitted/capri pants I really like these pants from the Gap: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=57240&vid=1&pid=331528&scid=331528002 I actually ended up purchasing a pair in red because I liked the fit better than the Minnies.

Good luck!

I have 6 pair of CeCes (both leather and suede) I had a an adjustment period with all but I've found I can wear them with no problems as long as I rub a friction stick on the parts where the elastic are.

Can someone please help me with J. Crew fit? I've never purchased from them before and I have to order online. I am usually an XS in Gap (just to compare to a brand that is very common)...would I be a XS or S in a J. Crew top?

J. Crew runs large in everything (tops, skirts, pants etc) in my opinion. If you are a small or extra small in the Gap I would definitely go with an extra small.

Does anyone have the Tillary purse in canvas? It's on sale for $88... but I am worried about color transfer from jeans, etc.

I asked this question and someone posted that they will treat the bag with scotch guard. When the tillery tote went on sale, I decided to order it since it was only $70. I'll try scotch guarding it as well and remember not to carry it with dark colored jeans :smile1:

Ah should have searched! I am so paranoid about color transfer.

Thanks! :smile1:
