I have the same ones and love them. I think they're beautiful and not too out there, so you can wear them as often as you like. My only comment is to wear them with a band aid on your heels for the first few times, they gave me horrible blisters. Hopefully they'll break in soon!

Aw man, I hope your feet heal! This makes me nervous. I ordered them in two sizes but am in between sizes. The larger size is definitely too large, so if I keep them it'll be the size that is slightly snug. :thinkin: Maybe I should keep looking.

This is interesting. A while back I looked at a blazer, the weight was nice and the fabric thick. I went back abut a month later to purchase it, the fabric was much thinner, like you said more like outlet quality. I didn't purchase it.

I inquired online and was told that it was possible j crew used a different run of cloth for the new stock.

Hope j crew isn't trying to pull a switcheroo on us.

This is exactly what I thought!!! I went in to J Crew about a month ago, saw the blazer, and even pulled it off the rack and checked it out. The blazer I received in the mail feels much different. I'm going to take it in to my local J Crew tomorrow and see if they still have some in stock to compare.

Hi people,

I could really use your help here!

The other day or so I ordered the blythe blouse in retro jade and when I got it today it wasn´t the same color I thought it was. On the website it looks very much like a aqua color and in real life the blouse looks so green to me. What are your thoughts about this color, is it really supposed to look like this in real life or is mine just a faulty one?

Thanks everyone!

I did call them and it is in fact not the retro jade color, so they are sending me the right one and I am returning this green thing.

LOL at "green thing." It's a pretty color but not what you ordered! Glad they are straightening it out. (I have the retro jade Tippi and looooove it.)

I adore the tippi sweater! And it´s gorgoeus in retro jade!

Yeah I was disapointed to say the least :p You´d think they would send you what you ordered. I´ve been stalking this color to go on sale for a while now so getting the wrong one wasn´t a good suprise.

Now that I´m waiting for the "real retro jade" I can´t help be a little worried that they´ll send the wrong color again :p

Hi ladies, I'm a longtime Jcrew lover but pretty new to this thread! I was wondering if anyone has experience using the Jcrew Laundress wash on their merino sweaters? I have a few tippis that I'd like to try and start handwashing, but I'm a little worried since the tag says "dry clean" and I don't want to dilute all the pretty bright colors! Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated :)

I haven't used that wash but I was all my J.Crew wool and cashmere sweaters on delicate with woolite with no issues so far. I just don't have time to do it any other way and I don't like dry cleaning. I think it should be fine. Let us know how you like the laundress wash, I was thinking about getting some.

Since we are Jcrewaholics, does anyone here have tippis or jackie sweaters in a variety of similar colors (ex. different shades of blues)?. I just bought a tippi today in celestial blue, and I have another tippi in lustrous blue. I am kind of regretting it, but since it was on sale, I will keep it.

I am guilty of this! I own multiple purples, blues, and greens in Jackie cardigan, Jackie sweaters, and tippi sweaters. But really sometimes light purple goes better then dark... Can't recall exact names of colors.
