Boxermon, check out this blogger and how she styled her sequin skirt. I think it looks really nice. I also think a Jcrew tippi sweater would look nice if you want something more fitted and add a nice necklace. I think the main thing is to let the skirt do the talking and keep everything else quite simple. But make sure you have a cute clutch:smile1:. When is the wedding? I will keep thinking of ideas.

Thank you, you're gonna make me blush :p. The nail polish is by Orly, unfortunately the sticker with the color name came off. But, it's bright fluorescent pink!!

Thanks CJY, glad to see you since I haven't see you around these parts lately. :smile1:

I haven't tried in any of these, but wanted to offer some advice on the quality of J. Crew's cashmere - its not the best. They've had many quality issues over the past few years and still can seem to get it right. I don't think it's worth it, full price. Perhaps at a deep discount with 30% off :D

The skirt is a bold piece, I think it would look best with a silk tank or camisole. But, if you do decide to go with a peplum, the one from Zara looks best.

Thanks for the info! Will keep that in mind.

Has anyone tried the high waisted skinny jeans? Im so sick of all my low rise jeans that want to expose my undies when i bend over! Pics or fit info appreciated. I'm a 24 (sometimes 25) in most jeans - coh, 7s, mih, jbrand.. Do I have to size up at all? How is the adore me wash? Thanks!

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:

I have tried these in black, and the cord version, and like them, but they have some problems. First, they run small- I'm a 25 in coh, etc., and waer these in a 26/27 depending on color. Second, I don know how to out this delicately, but camel toe is a problem. I've never really had this issue before but I think it stems from the fact that the J.Crew high waisted skinny has about an inch or so of seam between the crotch area and where the fly area starts.

I too am looking for mid to high rise skinnies. The best oes I have found thus far are J.Brand Vissionaire skinny. I have them in black and they are amazing. I would love to hear other recommendations as well.

Have you guys tried the J. Crew Matchstick or Toothpick or Madewell Skinny Skinny? They're skinny, but in between low-rise and high-waisted. I guess you can say, they fit on your natural waistline.

I tried them on and they fit well everywhere, except my calves. So, I go for the Railstraight from Madewell & J. Crew matchstick.

Uh oh! Camel toe is not good!! Both versions have the problem? Thanks for the review as I won't be able to try them on.

Have you tried mih? I forget the style name but they have a mid or high rise skinny Jean that looks great! Mine are a lighter material so its Good for Warmer weather. I'm going to go take a look at jbrand.

Thanks dc-cutie! I don't remember which ones they were but either the matchstick or toothpick didn't fit right on me. Too big in the butt and tight in the calves. For some reason I never tried on madewell jeans even when I was in the us so no idea how they will look on me and I don't think they ship intl anyway!

Oops! I meant joes jeans. I am getting all of my pants confused!

I will have to take a look at that brand. I have a pair of 7FAM Roxannes that are higher rise than the rest of my Roxanne's that I love, but they don't make them anymore. The wash was called adara. I have been scouring eBay for a backup
pair but they never have my size.

Does anyone's store have viv tortoise ballet flats in patent? None of my usual stores have them and they are on sale in store.

Also, if I go in my store can they order them for me at the in store price over the red phone even though they don't sell shoes?

I read on another blog that the viv patent flats in walnut leopard were seen at the menlo park mall in Edison NJ. The outlets in tampa and orlando had the tortoise patent ballet flats. Any store should be able to order them for you. HTH

Thanks I saw that too that is where my quest started but they didn't have an 8.5! Most of the stores don't seem to have any and they keep pushing the ballet flats but I really want Vivs.

The store should be able to get them in your size if they are available on line in your size. I have done this many times at the store when a shoe or any article of clothing is on sale. They call and order my size and get the price matched to the store price and free shipping. I have also done this over the phone with the Miami Lincoln road store, so you don't have to be there. I also work with an on line personal shopper who has done this as long as the store is open and can verify the price.

Here's a photo of me wearing a jacket I purchased during J. Crew's last 30 percent off sale; it's been really versatile and I've been finding myself wearing it a lot more than I thought (our weather has been fairly cool this spring). I apologize in advance for the super serious facial expression:)
