Ladies, I have a lot of jcrew clothing but no jewelry. I love their jewelry but struggle with paying that much for costume jewelry. For those of you who have their jewelry, is it worth the price? Do you know of any other brands with a similar look/style but cheaper? I will not buy knockoffs. For example, a couple of years ago, Ann Taylor loft had some pieces that looked j.crewesque but for a fraction of the price. I haven't seen anything this year however.

Love j crew jewelry, but will NOT pay full price. Wait for a sale.

Bauble bar has similar pieces and there are vendors on Etsy that offer great selections at lower prices.
 
This morning, I went online and purchased the Festival Blue Schoolboy blazer and my first No. 2 pencil skirt in wool (the bright aqua color). I had no idea what size to get. I am 5'3", 100 pounds, 24" waist, 34" hips and the customer service rep on chat told me to order a petite size. I know that J Crew pants and skirts are too big for me in the smallest regular size, so hopefully, the petite will be better. I ordered the 0P. I didn't get the 00P because I know that the wool won't stretch and I figured that I'd rather have the skirt be too big (and have it altered by my tailor) as opposed to too small.

^The 00 regular in J Crew pants, shorts, and skirts are all too big for me, which is why I thought that I would try the 0 petite sizing.

I'm typically a size 2 in everything JCrew but almost always have to go up 1 size when ordering petite from them.
Good luck.. Hope they fit!

I wear a 0 in shorts and pants but can get a 00 in the wool pencil skirts. I find all the pencil skirts run big and have a lot of room in the butt and thigh area.
