Gorgeous per usual!
Thanks ladies!
I have the Majesty coat in purple from last year. I am pretty happy with the thickness of the material. I can't imagine that the material would vary depending on the color, but who knows?

Thanks for the reply! Maybe it is just all in my head. Lol I'll just wear my jacket and check out the other color in store and compare then. What's weird is that the size 0 I got also fits looser than the same size I tried in store. Lol
The difference in size doesn't surprise me. It seems like the fitting on some items really varies even if it is the same style, material and size. For example I have a bunch of no. 2 pencil skirt in the same size that all fit slightly different!
I was just at my local J. Crew and the sale in stores is pretty good on some items. I picked up the wool fanfare jacket in the navy/peach combo for $47, a wool school boy blazer for $57 and a wool pencil skirt for $35 with the 30% off and educator discount.
Here is a mostly "crew" outfit which I wore to J. Crew.

Went a little crazy at the B&M store over the weekend. I'm a recent convert and addict to J.Crew, which hit at apparently the same time as I've found that I needed to replace and build my mild-winter wardrobe. I ended up with a couple of Tippi sweaters, Heartbreaker sweater (currently wearing!), boy shirts (black/green plaid, poppy plaid), perfect shirt in leopard-print, and a Teddie dress in blue. The prices averaged around $59.99 for most of the shirts, which I thought was all right, but since I was rushing to get out of the store so they could close, I didn't have time to think about it more and ponder if some of those items could be marked down further 
I think I'm done this winter unless a Lady Day or Majesty coat go on further sale.
ush. The one plus I can give these pants are that they seem TTS, vs cafe capri's that I have taken a 00 in.
I think I'm done this winter unless a Lady Day or Majesty coat go on further sale.I also think I look horrid in Minnies! I don't get how they are supposed to be amazingly flattering when I look fat and have developed a camel hump (seriouslyI went a little crazy at the J.Crew Factory store today! Everything was either 30 or 40% off, with an additional 20% off at the register. I got 3 popovers (blue, yellow, white polkadot), black lace cami, pink/orange color block skirt, mint Jackie, and 3 pencil skirts (black, pink, teal). Obsessed with the fit of the pencil skirt! I rewarded myself because I've been losing weight and i FINALLY fit back into my old size. I've never looked good in pencil skirts but I finally feel like I have the body to pull them off. Which sucks becuase I bought a bunch of other J.Crew skirts in September that are now a little too big! I guess you just can't win lol. I preferred the sale at the Factory much more to the one the regular J.Crew had on Boxing Day. I felt like there was more variety. My B&M J.Crew basically only had solid colored sweaters, and then a few other seasonal things that were on sale a few weeks ago when they did the "spend 150, get 20% off, spend 200, get 30% off" sale. And I had already bought what I liked back then!
So if you are looking for some fun cheap J.Crew pieces, head to your local Factory store. They had a way better selection than they did online (most of what is online IS in the store, but theres just some other stuff too). FYI I was at the Leesburg outlets and I was pleased with their range of sizes available
Also... am I the only person that looks awful in Minnies/Winnies? I Just can't get on board with them. I just feel like they make me look like a whaleThey seem so slimming on the hanger. I think the lack of pockets on the front makes my hips look way bigger.
ush. The one plus I can give these pants are that they seem TTS, vs cafe capri's that I have taken a 00 in.
Cap toe Etta's....and finally, printed capris that don't make me look like a squat dumpling!
Love this outfit! The shoes and pants are great! You don't look "squat" at all.
Does anyone here have or perhaps have tried on the Everly suede pumps? These are the pointy toe pumps from this year. I just wanted to know if they are tts. I want to buy a pair, but in the past I have found that some of the pointy toe J. Crew shoes require sizing up. The pair I want is final sale so I want to be sure. I hate final sale, although they always let you get a store credit if you try to return. Thanks!
here is a recent review - hope this helps!

I think the coats with thinsulate are pretty warm for our mild winters. The low today is 30 and it would be fine for me to wear in and out of work, but if I was going to be outside a long time I would want a thermal layer probably. It runs small, but I think all other J.Crew coats run big and usually size down, so I would just wear my normal size. A lot if people will probably tell you to size up. I like my coats to be slimming and not bulky so I don't size up.
