Love the outfit....the trousers are a great colour and I think a boy cut shirt could be a good option for me too.

Enjoy wearing it!:cool:

Thanks phiphi! Perhaps they will get it in your size, sometimes that happens even with sale stuff.

I just scored the crepe shawl blazer for $119. I went to return something but of course I can't leave the store without a purchase. I think this one will be worthwhile. The color is gorgeous and the wool feels a lot better than j crew blazers have of late.

I almost got this blazer, but then they didn't have my size left, as I waited too long. Congrats on getting it for a good price! Which color did you get?

I got it in vintage berry. The color is really bright, but I love it! Sorry to hear you missed it. I hadn't seen it at my store before until I made a trip yesterday, though, so maybe it will pop up!

I tried on the blazer everyone is talking about but it was SO short on me. It was hilarious looking. I wish J.Crew would make more things in tall!

I also wanted the fair isle sweater that just came out, the reddish one, but it too was crazy short. I ended up buying the men's striped fair isle one in the dark real color in XS. I usually wear XS in women and it actually fits in a boyfriend style way. Love it!

I also tried the Saturday pants someone was asking about. I am usually a 25 or 0 in bottoms and the xs fit me, but they were snug. The fabric is awesome. If you like leggings you'll love these. I wanted to get them but everytime I wear leggings to lounge in I feel weird because my colored socks always look funny. Do other people not wear socks?

I love the colors but find them to be very boxy. I am 5'9" and they just look short and wide on me. I think if you are shorter they will look better. I have a stripe one from last year that is longer and I love it. I have found the silk doesn't hold up well, though, after probably 5 wears mine started tearing around the wrist and it looks like some of the other seams could fall apart anytime (it is not too small). They are good under things because they are so thin and soft, but that also means the light colors are really see through.

I think they make these in a Tall, maybe that would work? I agree about the light colors being see-through, they might need a cami underneath. I haven't had mine long enough to put much wear & tear on them so I don't have any input on how they hold up but I am worried now!

No even in a tall that one wouldn't work. It was literally above my belly button and looked like half the jacket was missing!

Does anyone have the collection sequin pencil skirt? I have absolutely no business buying that skirt since I really have nowhere to wear it but I couldn't resist it on sale.

i don't have that skirt, but it would be perfect for the holidays and new year's.

What do y'all wear as rain wear? I wish J.Crew would make a cute rain jacket, but everytime the try its cotton or something rose. I need something with a hood that is going to keep rain off. It doesn't have to be for standing in the rain for 3 hours, mostly for walking to and from car with umbrella, but the Patagonia, etc. ones are not cute and none of the cute ones are water resistant!

I haven't found any waterproof J. Crew coats that I really like. When it rains, I wear a North Face "Grace" lightweight waterproof trench or a Burberry that I got for a steal at a consignment shop.

I do agree with you about the quality of things having declined over the years, while prices are increasing. I'll only buy the silks and cashmeres when they're marked down and have an additional percent off promo available.

I have a Lexington jacket from 2007, which is substantially thicker and more beautiful than the Hacking jackets they carry now. I also have the festival blue schoolboy, which is thin. I'm OK with that because of the price I paid. I am awaiting the arrival of a factory blazer, and I'll definitely compare the quality of the full retail vs. factory wool.

I have a lot of their old cashmere and it is still as soft and thick and luxurious as the day I got it. I purchased a cashmere cardigan there recently and had to return it immediately because it was SO SCRATCHY and there already was pilling underneath the armpits. I think even Macy's brand cashmere is higher quality than what J. Crew is selling. It mystifies me that J. Crew is pushing their cashmere as straight from some rustic Italian mill, when it is crap on the shelves.

I am also unimpressed with their suiting, and don't get me started on their factory line. I do not buy their factory pieces unless they are over 50% off, and even then, I stay away from cashmere.

Thanks for the advice! Their cashmere pieces occasionally tempt me but I must remember to stay far far away!
