I am getting ready to order a pair of the Martina wedges but I need some help with the sizing, please! I can wear anywhere from an 8-9 inn shoes. My revas are always a size 9 but I am afraid a wedge in a 9 would be too big. The jcrew factory wedges in an 8.5 gapped at the sides, so I was thinking an 8. Online it says to size up. Any suggestions? Always, which is better for casual wear, the patent or suede? Thanks!

I had to size up in these. I'm an 8, and the 8 in these were too small. I re-ordered in an 8.5 and these are better. My shoe size is normally an 8 and I never have to size up in anything but running shoes, I size down to 7.5 in J. Crew ballet flats. My feet are a bit wide and I have a high-ish arch. Hope that helps, good luck.
 
Went to the store last night to return a few items from a pre-Black Friday online order and ended up walking out with not one, but three Schoolboy Blazers (Modern Red, Dark Grape, and Festival Blue) because the manager told me they were marking them down from $139.99 to $89.99 - then there was a 30% off sale (Final Sale) and my student discount. Needless to say, I only just got into J.Crew a few weeks ago and I now have all the wool Schoolboy Blazers a gal could need.

Other items seemed destined for markdown: Some Cafe Capris, skirts, and a coat. I wish I could be more specific than that, but I didn't have a lot of time to look over the markdowns sheet that the manager placed down to assist me.


awesome deal!!!

I sized up 1/2 size in the Martina wedges. My feet are medium wide in the front, and narrow in the back. I am normally a 7 (in Revas and other flats) but in these I take 7H.
last year I bought them in bronze clay patent. It's the perfect skin color for me and pretty comfortable given the height. One complaint I have, which is true with all shoes with patent covered heel or wedge, is that one scrape and the heel/wedge looks terrible. It's not really fixable, and very visible. I scraped one side and took mine to my shoe guy and he told me to try nail polish. I found a close match but it didn't really work.
I tried to order another pair this year, hoping to use my old pair as a spare (hoping I'd only scrape the other side, LOL). But when they came I realized the nude color (apricot mist) was very different, much too pink and too light for me. I would have kept them even if the "spare' idea wouldn't work any more, but I didn't like the new color.
I also ordered the black patent in the same size, but somehow the pair I got felt smaller than usual. They pinched the front of my feet and I returned them.
 
awesome deal!!!
Thanks bagfashionista! I don't know if the 30% off (final sale) promo is still going on in stores since the tired discount came out yesterday, but I hope this helps someone else who might have been looking for a schoolboy blazer :D

Wearing the Tartan perfect shirt with the perfect fit cardigan to work today!

Hi girls,

I need your help with sizing...I am kind of new to J Crew, since where I lived before there was no store around..
So I got this shirt and was in b/n sizes. SA told me JCrew cuts their clothes big...I am usually M sometimes even L in most of the stores, but SA told me I should get this in S. So I did now I am agonizing what if it's going to shrink and etc.. I think I am sz 8 in most of my clothing. Sz M was a little loose, sz S fits good but if I cross my arms it pulls...
Any input appreciated:cutesy:

The popovers are meant to fit loose but it is a matter of taste. The one I have in my normal size is tight in the shoulders and huge everywhere else, I think it is just how they are cut.

It's funny 'cuz I was thinking to get M and SA told me look how much extra material you have around your waist:D
I think I may need to go back and exchange it:thinkin: M felt more comfy
