To answer a previous question, here is how I styled the No. 2 Garden Floral pencil skirt! I am so glad I got this. There are so many possibilities for how you could style it!

katie, what did you get?

I'm contemplating some sweaters... but i don't need them.

That's the thing, you never need them, but you can always find a reason to justify the purchase! I always tell myself, "well I don't have quite this color." This is why I have the Jackie Cardigan and some other sweaters in a million colors!

Heck no, it's not wrong. What did you get?:graucho:

I picked up the Maritime Dress (on sale for $39), found the flower skirt and glitter espadrilles (on sale for $49)at the Rockerfeller Center store yesterday.

Sounds like you got some great deals DC Cutie!

I tried to be good and just pick up a few things on the website. The deals in the store are way better than online, even with the new sale online. I bought some of the chino shorts, the featherweight cashmere short sleeve cardigan in yellow, and the striped silk bow cami in neon rose (I love this blouse!).

Does anyone have patent viv flats? I got the tortoise looking pair and can't decide at size to keep. The 8.5 are REALLY tight in the toe box, but the 9 my heel is on the verge of flopping out. Will they stretch? They seem much stiffer than any j.creew shoes I've owned in the past.

I have the leopard patents... got 1/2 size up. Mine have not stretched in the toe, so I would go with the larger size and if your feet are slipping out the back, maybe put in one of those foot petal heel things? I actually first purchased the viv bows in my normal size and they were killing my toes, and did not stretch until I used a shoe stretcher. That helped some but I still regret not going w/ the larger size. Hope that helps!

I have the leopard and the peach colored viv flats. The leopard ones have not stretched at all...they are very stiff. The peach ones fit more tts and I get tons of compliments on both.

Thanks all! The 8.5 don't look bad, they actually look better. I will have to try them on again the morning and get a fresh opinion. The difference between that and the 9 seems like a full size. I typically buy my shoes on the snug size so they will mold to my foot but I'll have to reconsider with these now knowing they don't stretch much. They are great shoes though, especially at the in store price!

If you purchased the pink tippi, be careful. I wore it with white jeans and it bled! 4 washings later the color was still there. Thankfully j crew was understanding. They returned the sweater and let me get a new pair of jeans from madewell.

eep!! good to know that! i'll pass on it then.. i was tempted to get the linen one because i really wanted a neon pink top. (now, i don't really need it, but.. technicalities.. :p)

Thanks for the heads up DC-Cutie. I actually did buy the tippi sweater in pink (the cotton, not linen). I am going to be extra careful with it now that I know this. It is nice that J.CREW was understanding, that's only fair.

I use to live in Pittsburgh, PA and I was so spoiled with the no sales tax. CA sales tax is a killer!

I got the email for the sale this morning. Is it wrong that I already bought some things???
