Is there an "age limit" for the pear sweater? I am just not sure I can pull it off. I think it seems too juvenile if I just wear it with jeans and it needs a sophisticated skirt, boots, accessories to not look like what I would dress my year old baby in. But, when I go to parties that I would wear a skirt to, I don't think I would pull the pear sweater out....maybe just for dinner out with friends. Anyway, what do you think?

The sequins are done pretty well and stay pretty flat. You could never have too much shine! :smile1: would love to see some of your outfit pics when you get your tops!

The green stripe tank came today and it is amazing in person!! I love it so much. It was $42 with the sale and I think I can take the chance on the sequins not getting messed up and will probably put it in my suitcase when we go overseas for Christmas. I think it would be great for NYE.

looks great on you! I've been really curious about that coat, but it didn't look flattering in the few blog reviews I've seen. You're igniting my lemming all over again!

Thank you! I do like the coat -- especially how it can be worn with super casual clothing (jeans and a sweatshirt) but still goes well with a pencil skirt and the works

i prefer it to my lady day.

hahha...there's a LOT of other coats that i want to try....but waiting for the particular color/coat combinations that i want to go on sale PLUS the additional off -- resisting the temptation until then!!! very hard though, with all the recent promotions.

I don't think so. I think with some skinny jeans and a cute button up under it it could be very stylish! I picked it up in the store last week. It not me, but I do like it.

is it worth it to wait for after christmas sales with jcrew? or is this 30% off everything good enough to purchase now?

After Christmas the sale section will probably switch to final sale. So the prices may be better, but I'm not sure how good selection will be, plus it sucks to be unable to return if something doesn't work out. It's kind of a toss-up.

So cute! I just ordered the sequined tank with the ivory and black or navy stripe. And I love your blog, the Valentino cage shoes in noir are very high on my spring list right now!

Actually, I went a little nuts ordering for myself and my daughter. J.Crew makes the cutest kids clothing - a little pricey but I can't resist!

For me, I got the Tippi cardigan in byzantine blue, the silk bow top in byzantine blue, the sequined tank and the shearling scarf in black. Anyone else??

I have just gone on a bit of a shopping spree and bought some sweaters, the lavender heartbreaker and the grey/yellow pear one. Would you hang or fold those sweaters?

I don't have much yellow at all so I bought these shoes in yellow http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/shoes/ballets/PRDOVR~28419/28419.jsp
and a yellow bangle bracelet and matching ring....is it "too much" to wear all of the above (sweater with shoes, bracelet and ring) or is that the right amount of yellow?

I have no fashion sense and don't want to look like a clown - I think it looks good, but need some expert advise! Any ideas what color pants or skirt to wear? Probably should not have bought that sweater since I have no idea how to work with bright yellow.

I would maybe use the shoes with the pear sweater, but use another pop of color with my jewelry - like green maybe. But then again I wear mostly greys and black so I don't know if I'm the best person to opine on this!

I think the pear sweater is fun. I bought a few fun sweaters this year myself and I'm close to 40 with a one 1/2 year old!

I couldn't resist this promo. I grabbed another pair of Minnies (which I practically live in) even though they're back ordered until January. And I couldn't resist the velvet toothpick jeans in navy when the popped back up in my size. I also ordered the bow cords for my sister.

I just got my velvet navy jeans. They are amazing! Is there much difference in fit besides length between the petite and regular minnies?

So I had asked in a previous post about the difference in fit for the cafe capris in regular versus tall other than the length, but no one answered my question, so I'll answer it just in case anyone else was wondering...and there is no difference other than the length.

This actually worked out for me because the regular cafe capris fit fine in my usual size 4, I just wanted slightly longer pants. The only bummer is that the tall size cost more.

I'm guessing this is the case for the other pants as well. However, I can't comment on the difference with the petite versus regular sizes.
