Anyone have the Miri midheel pumps? How comfortable are they?

I used to own a pair of J.crew pumps from around 2008..they were SO incredibly comfortable. I wore them to death and eventually had to toss them out. Haven't bought J.Crew shoes again until last week (Everly pump). I was horrified to see how uncomfortable they were! they had absolutely no cushioning and were just so painful. Hoping the Miri are better...

I love this whole look!

Quick question for ladies that have the ponte/pixie pants! They say dry clean only but can I get away with hand washing them?

Hi Sparklybags, i dont have the pixie/ponte pants, but I've tried handwashing with Purell a Jcrew skirt lined with polyester fabric. The skirt itself was linen, so i couldnt sort of justify paying dry cleaning $ for cotton linen. Didnt do much rubbing. But the lining got ruined. It got splotches of color. Overall, it fits the same... Didn't shrink, so i still wear it. But whenever i see the lining, i still get annoyed.

So maybe you should rethink when Jcrew tag says Dry Clean. :-)

Can we talk about JCrew jewelry? What pieces do you guys have? Is the price worth it? Are they too big or gaudy? I would love to see pictures of your favorites.

I'm a huge fan of their jewelry. Most pieces I purchase on sale, but there are a few that I purchased at retail for fear of them selling out. They've all held up really well and I think worth the money.

Here are pics of some of my pieces (I posted these in '11). The collection has grown :graucho:

I purchased a few of the smaller "statement" necklaces from J. Crew this year. For example the petals and pearls necklace and one other one this winter. I haven't taken pictures yet.

Anyway, I am sort of on the fence about these. On one hand I think the big statement necklaces are really cool, but I'm not sure if they are for me or if they are going to look dated soon. I wish they would go on sale, but it seems like many of them the sell out at full price. I'm contemplating buying some from the new spring line, but I don't know if I want to spend $150 for a necklace I'll only wear a few times.

DC, I want to come play dress up in your closet :)

I'm also a fan of JC jewelry especially necklaces. I personally don't think any of my necklaces look outdated if anything they look more unique as the years pass by. I can wear a necklace from a few years ago and get plenty of compliments and they've all held up fine.

I normally get most of my pieces on sale but I will pay full price (minus student discount) for pieces I feel won't make it to sale.

Wow, thanks for the photos!! So pretty. You have soo many. I didn't even realize the jewelry could sell out. Sigh, I have my eye on a certain necklace, but I feel like it is too "blingy" for casual wear, but it is so beautiful.

I LOVE their jewelry, but I definitely wait for it to go on sale. I recently got the light pink bubble necklace for >$40, a bunch of link bracelets, and the anchor necklace (which I paid full price, minus student discount, because I HAD to have). I'm still considering the anchor bracelet if it doesn't sell out...

Just bought this one yesterday from the new line!! I never buy jcrew jewelry due to cost but I could not resist. In going to try wearing it over button up white or blue shirts.

Do u guys think the lattice necklace in the clear crystal will go on sale or is that a piece that stays reg price? I scored the lattice in the peach/orange color on major sale so I'm hesitant to get the clear one for full price.

I have a ton of their jewelry especially bracelets. I think their style is fun. Quality is pretty good. I mostly order when they go on sale. The last 'sale" bracelet had stones floating around in the box when it arrived (I glued it back on!) - other than that they hold up well.
