Does anyone know how the petite chinos (Waverly, Everyday) run?

I'm normally a pretty stable size 4 (about39 inch hip circumference) and don't know if I can trust their sizing chart or should just go with my normal size?

I'd love to order a pair, but I'd like to avoid sending back too many pieces.

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

I don't know, but I'll let you know when I get them. I didn't try them on in the stores since the store doesn't have tall sizes. I ordered a Tall 26 and I'm hoping they fit. I'm a bit nervous that they're going to be a tad too big since I'm a Tall 0 in the Minnies. I do know that in the Minnies there is no difference in sizing between the tall sizes and the regular other than the length.

Thanks LeeMiller~ I think that the Valentino cage shoes are such an iconic style and a must for every shoe collection!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Crewcuts...they are pricey but when they go on sale, it's a pretty good deal and soo cute. I stock up for my Niece :smile1:

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'm DC-Cutie and I'm a Double Cloth coat hoarder! Over the past 2 days, I've ordered 2 online (the slim fit in camel and navy) and today picked up the lady day coat in pink.

I think I'm set for a lifetime. The prices were too good to pass up and the double cloth fabric has held up very well for me over the years.

I bought the DC Metro Coat in Retro Jade last week and I'm happy so far with how warm it is. I wore it to shop downtown today and I walked around for a few hours in 6C/42F weather and I was very comfortable. I was wearing a blouse with a lightweight merino wool sweater overtop (then the coat) and I didn't realize it was even that cold out until I noticed my hands were freezing.

I don't remember seeing that coat in the store so I'm sorry I can't help you with the colour. It does look a bit muted on the website though, doesn't it?

Ladies- need your help. I want to buy a jacket and pencil skirt in the corkscrew tweed. The blogs I have read don't like them because they think over time they will get fuzzy and pill but I can't find a review from anyone who owns it. Does anyone own pieces in corkscrew tweed and do you have any personal experiences or opinions about the material?

I bought the pink corkscrew skirt earlier in Dec and it's super cute! There's the texture to it so I doubt the pilling would be noticeable if it occurs. I like the material since it's less stiff than the regular wool version.

Are you sure they paid FP? The stores and online have been 30% off the last few weeks. I got the gingham ones as a gift last night but my DH said he got 30% off. I know a lot of the PJ sets are back ordered for months because they have been so popular. I would keep them if you like them! I am looking forward to wearing mine today!

MIL got me the French Hen Cashmere (blend) sweater in black. I've never seen it and don't know anything about it. Was it popular? I'm not a fan and will probably return it for store credit?

That sweater was very popular but also has a very whimsical style. I think it is cute but I probably wouldn't wear it either.
