anyone else loving the hummingbird etta pumps? I think they are sooo pretty, although they probably wouldn't be super practical as they definitely don't go with a lot!!!

I'm loving them too!

I ordered them in a size too big, returned them and I'm wait-listed for my size. I personally think they can be worn with a number of things from cropped pants, jeans, skirts, etc...I love the look of a simple outfit with statement shoes.

I can't wait to get them.

I need outfit help again! I am starting a new job where I can dress casually (think jeans, flip flops, etc.). Right now most of my casual clothes are too old, casual, etc. for the image I'd like to go for. I'm thinking skinny jeans, silk blouse or tee, plus cardigan or blazer with flats is the level of dressiness I want to go for. I'm not big on dresses/skirts and don't wear heels but other than that does anyone have suggestions for a variation on this type of outfit? I just ordered some more jeans but I feel like I need some variety!! I tend to be pretty plain and like navy, gray, etc. and I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the florals and crazy prints in the new lineup. Help please!

Hope you love them when you get them! Please tell us if you find you can wear them with a lot!!! I'm dying to justify them :)

I love the hummingbird pumps too, but I think some of the other pieces with this print might be more my style.

Did anyone notice that all the hummingbird print stuff ( perhaps just the dress and pencil skirt) is sold out... they just released these new items today! I am hope that this is just a mistake because I want to use my 20% off promo on them! :smile1:

I love the Hummingbird print, but none of the pieces will work for me except possibly the pencil skirt (with alterations). I like the Etta pumps the best, but I hear they are painful and I'm not good with heels anyway. So sad.

I orderd a necklace last week and still didnt receive it (EU customer). I paid taxes over the J.Crew site and now they want me to proof that I paid taxes. Did anybody ever had this problem before?

I'm sorry you're having trouble with your order. I haven't had the same experience since I usually shop in-store, but I hope CS can be nice and sort it out soon.

I'm a fan of the crewneck sweatshirt "trend". I put that in parentheses because I think it will stick around--the comfort + the slightly refined updates to it make it versatile. Every major retailer, including J. Crew, has at least a couple of styles right now, and I think it will go with the level of casual you want to go with right now. I like wearing a sweatshirt, skinny jeans, flats and a statement necklace.

This one would be great because you wouldn't need much more jewelry:

From my understanding, Etta pumps are considered "flats with a heel" and most people find them very comfortable to wear because of the block heel. I have a pair in silver metallic and I can wear them all day without problems. But I also wear heels almost daily;).

I suggest trying on a pair if you're near a JC store and see if you like the fit and look on your feet.

Any word on whether the hummingbird items will be stocked again? they're all sold out atm. I'm LOVING the skirt especially

My guess is that they took them out of stock because of the 20% off promo, and when that's over they will be in stock again. They did that last year with some of the more popular items, took them off the site when they did a promo and put them back on when it was over. If you want something though, I'd just call and ask them to apply the promo for you, they are pretty good if you call. If you can, ask for "Parker", he's awesome and has applied promos for me over the phone!!

My promo purchases were the hummingbird secretary blouse, and the tilda oxford rhinestone top, as well as some new jean shorts for the spring!! That was a lot of $$ for that shirt, I hope I love it!!

ITA, I have the gold etta's from the fall and I think they are actually really comfortable!!! They did take a little breaking in because the metallic leather was sort of stiff, but after that mine were fine (I bet the regular leather ones wouldn't need as much breaking in)

I like Jcrew's blythe blouses for stilk shirts. You might also look into their casual blazers - like the schoolboy. You can roll up the sleeves to make them a little more casual, and I think they look great with jeans.
