This isn't something I'd normally choose but I decided to get these shorts for my trip to Hawaii in 3 weeks. I love butterflies and green and it turned out they fit great and are very comfortable. I typically only wear solids in general and I avoid shorts so these are quite a risk for me!

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 am hesitant to tell you to wait for a sale if you love it. everything at j. crew does end up getting marked down at one point or another but would you regret missing out on it if you didn't get it now? i don't know if that helped!

Been awhile since my last post, but here's an outfit shot of me wearing my Jcrew heather grey (?) tipi sweater and Jcrew pencil skirt. :p

*pardon the background, using my SILs studio. Lol. :cool:

Love the outfit, as it would totally be something I would wear daily. The texture of the skirt is neat!

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 L-O-V-E J.Crew jewelry! I used to get most of my jewelry from Banana Republic (on super sale), but once I started my obsession with J.Crew and their bright colors and collar necklaces, I cannot go back to BR's jewelry. Now, when I compare my newer J.Crew necklaces to my BR ones, the latter seem to pale in comparison or not appear to be as "solid" as J.Crew.

I have acquired a few necklaces from the F/W 2012 either on promo + student discount or super sale, but the price point for their jewelry can still be a bit beyond what I am comfortable paying. That being said, I do believe that their pieces are unique and substantial enough to merit the sale prices. I would purchase a piece at FP + student discount if I thought it might sell out. I am currently contemplating that sort of purchase with the tortoise and brass link bracelet.

Gorgeous kitty and necklace! You have a great model ;) Love the colors and how J.Crew mixes up colors and crystals.

Cute shorts! I'd love to see these in other colors like navy. I typically wear solids as well, but this pattern is simple enough that it has the potential to go with a lot of things.

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:

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 wore the Miri mid-heel pumps last night for the first time. I didn't do much walking in them, so it wasn't much of a test, but I thought they felt great.

Hi everyone! New to the J.Crew thread, but does anyone have any advice sizing-wise on the icon trench in wool cashmere? I know I'm late, but I love the cabernet color and since some popped up on the site this morning, I was wondering how the wool trench would compare with the double cloth coats for example. Thanks in advance!

I find that I wear the same size across the board in J.Crew coats - a size 2. It fits well around the hips/waist. The more fitted coats will be a liiiitle tight in the arms/shoulders if I button them all the way up, but I never layer underneath coats anyways so it's never that big of a problem for me. Hope this helps. I do know that some people take a size up in the more fitted coats though (Lady Day for example).
