If you really want Minnies I recommend the wool version. I don't think the twill stretch ones are work appropriate for anywhere but the most casual of offices because the tend to look like leggings. The wool ones are much nicer and more professional, IMO.

I was hoping you'd respond my fellow lean and leggy PFer ;) I was leaning towards the wool ones too for that reason-hopefully they'll have the regular length in store to try on. I've had such a hard time finding skinny/slim dress pants because they're all cropped and I like to wear flats to work-I just feel those cropped pants only work well with heels.

I have the same problem! The cafe capris look so bad on me because I wear flats. The regular length Minnies don't look great either, but way better than the cafe capris. The pixie look best but they are pretty much glorified leggings. I have been wanting to try a tall pair of minnie pants, let me know if you try the tall and how they turn out!

Also I am not a fan of BR and rarely even go in there but I have a pair of their stretchy dress pants in black in a straight cut and they work really well with flats. They are the skinniest, still work appropriate pants I have found. Hopefully the wool Minnie will be better, though.

Does the outlet/regular online do any black friday or cyber monday deals? Anyone happen to know what they would be?

No one is going to know what they are this early, if any. People only know in store stuff ahead of time because their SAs tell them. Also, factory just launched a new site so it is probably going to be different than whatever they did last year. Retail did not do anything in stores or online for Black Friday last year.

Also I think I have some card with a one time use code that I got at the factory store that is 25% off 125+. I can give it to someone if it is still valid, I don't need it.

Just got these mint toothpick jeans on sale! Love them. The top is a j crew factory sweater and the necklace is factory too. Ignore those flip flops please! I changed shoes before I left :)

Such a pretty outfit - the mint and navy work perfectly together and I didn't even look at your shoes until I read your post!!!

The trousers are like peppermint cocktails - lovely colour:smile1:

Quick question about the outlet. If I order something online that says select colors _price_ can it be returned?

There something I want but if it turns out to not be exactly what I was looking for I want to be sure I can return it by mail. I'm not sure what can be returned to the outlet what cannot.

The factory site is the same as the retail site, as long as it doesn't say *final sale* you can return it to the appropriate store or by mail.

I think I'm going to wait until I'm back home (on vacation in Hong Kong right now) and try the regular length on in person and get them to order in the tall for me. I'm just desperate for really slim work pants. I see the stovepipe ones on sale on the site now, but they're not nearly as slim.

Unfortunately in Canada BR doesn't carry tall sizes-I'll have to give the, a try next time I'm in Seattle.

I dont know about last year, but i do remember them having black friday stuff in retail stores like two-three years ago. I can't remember the exact deals, but to be honest, i dont think they were that good.

Thanks. I ended up ordering what I wanted off the outlet website with their 30% off. I saved like almost half off and free shipping. If I end up not liking it then I'll just return it.
