I stocked up on 3" and 4" shorts. My store seems to run out of 00's so glad they had some in stock.

I stocked up on some shorts too during this sale. I was surprised that the website had so many sizes/colors still in stock. Last time I was at my local store they had a ton of shorts, but size 8 was the smallest size.

Just received the new JCrew No. 2 Double Serge Wool Pencil Skirt in Berry Pink! The color is really beautiful. I don't think I have the best lighting from the pictures, but it gives a nice idea when compared to what is shown on the JCrew website:
http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/skirts/pencil/PRDOVR~88707/88707.jsp

I compared this to the Bright Dahlia I bought and it seemed very similar to it in construction. The overall cut and fabric is very comparable. I measured the lengths of the skirt and both were 23 1/2" long which is perfect length for me.

I recommend that you get this skirt while available. I love this color out of all the rest so far this year. This one is a def keep!

Here are a few pictures with a Ralph Lauren ruffled blouse, express patent leather belt, L'Autre Chose black leather 4" high heel dress boots. I am ready for fall ! Let me know what you think?! Any other colors of tops you think may go well? I might try some brown high heel boots to just see how they look. If I do, will post a few pictures.

The No. 2 wool pencil skirt looks great on you. The color is to die for! I think I might have to look into buying it!

I bought a few things during the latest sale yesterday, mostly basics like shorts, a pair of cafe capris and a Jackie cardigan. I also got the Jardin apple skirt which I have been waiting for in my size for a while now.

Then I see that J. Crew marked off the Edie bag today! I wish they had done that yesterday when I placed my order. Has anyone seen the Edie bag on sale in the store? On the website it is marked off and then the extra 30% off, but usually the store prices are better. If you have seen it in the store let me know!

how much were the shorts and what color? I called 2 local stores in my area and they both said that they packed up all the chino shorts that were for final price.

I bought them online and they weren't final sale. With the extra 30% off they were $24.50 each. A bit more than final sale ones but I wanted the option of returning them if they don't fit.

Hi Ladies
Have a quick question I was hoping you could help me with. I want to order a pair of the Cafe Capris but dont have the option of trying them on. I wear a two in the minnies but its because the stretch so much! Do you think I would be ok with a 4 in the cafe capri?
Thanks in advance!

I think the Cafe Capris run big. I wear a 6 in the Minnie but a 4 in the Cafe Capris. 6 is my J. Crew Chino pants/shorts size too.

i agree with jcacate - the cafe capris have been discussed by many lovely tpf'ers. try a search in this thread and see their sizing reviews and pictures here. i find that they run big, so go down one size. i'm a 0 in crew pants and skirts, and a 00 in the cafe capri. the 0s in them are too big for me. hope this helps!

Does anyone own the Downtown Field Jacket?http://www.jcrew.com/womens_feature...ll~mode+matchallany~~~~~field jacke/19034.jsp

I love this jacket, it's perfect for walking around campus so I really want to get it before I go back to school. I've never tried it on but felt the material and it felt really stiff and like it wouldn't keep me warm at all. Can anyone give me personal input on this jacket?

I have one from a few years ago, the material does stay stiff, but I should say I don't wear it a lot. The jacket is only good for mild days, it's not a warm jacket.
