Does anyone know/remember if the J.Crew in NYC in SoHo sells swimwear?

Do the stores generally sell swimwear? I feel like if they do at all, it's generally a pretty small selection, but I want to pick up a new bandeau bikini for this Sunday and there isn't enough time to order online!

I have about 6 of these. I bought the bright sun full price and the others at a discount. I love them because they can be dressed up or down and perfect for a work/night out transition.

Ditto. I like to layer and these are perfect because they don't add bulk.

I recently purchased the cafe capri pants in soft fuchsia. Normally, I'm a 6 or 8, however for these I sized down to a 4. BUT, BUT, the 4 is already baggy in the knees and loose around the hip and waist. I tried on a 2 today, PERFECT! However, I'm not going to fool myself thinking I'm a size 2 in any brand.

So, a bit of advice size down a size or even two and try them on if you can.

Here is a pic of the sagging issue after about 4 hours of wear:

Can anyone speak to the quality of the Factory Cardigans?

I'm not sold on the quality of the factory cardigans. I purchased a Jackie cardigan to compare. It stretched out really bad. The retail was thicker and holds it's shape, no stretching.

Yes, I was going to buy some shorts I had in my cart when I noticed they went back up to full price! I tried live chat and she was just kind of like "oh we never had them on promo" which made me irritated. I do wish I could've taken a screen shot of it in my cart with the promo code applied. Argh!

It is really strange how the shorts went on sale for a couple hours and then off. I have been waiting for them to go on sale forever! I'm still kicking myself about this!

I guess we have all learned a valuable lesson about taking "screen shots!"

Yes my SA knew how badly I wanted it. I too did a nationwide search that was unsuccessful!!! Then one of my SA's clients returned one becasue she had too much stuff I guess. So she put it on hold for me. She is so sweet. I love it so much I wore it right away the next day.

You found this?! Weeks ago I had to do a nationwide search for it! And it was for xs, which I assume there's always a decent amount of left when something goes on sale.

Although, you never know now. XS is the new S or even M.. that's why I'm taking XS in just about everything now and I surely haven't shrank. Craziness.

Cute outfit DC. You always look fab. What is your toe-nail polish? I like it. I just bought some flip flop fantasy from China glaze last night. Love the bright colors.

Thank you, I think I will pass on the factory cardigan then. I like cotton but I guess it wouldn't hold its shape well. It's hard to believe that the factory version is thinner--my Jackie cardigan is already so thin! :rolleyes:

Is it okay to wear a cream/off white top with a colored skirt to a wedding?

What do you all think of this top with colored belt paired with my green sequin skirt?

or this Zara top in blue or white with a colored belt?

Blue
