Can anyone help me out with sizing for high heeled boots? Im looking a secondhand pair of tenley boots. I only own jcrew stiletto pumps (the everly) and i found all their pumps to run very small. I took a 9 in the everly, and i remember the SA saying their heels ran small. I
Normally wear an 8/8.5 in other brands. For example im an 8 in frye, steve madden and nine west boots. Would a 9 in the jcrew tenley boots work? Id be wearing socks or tights. Thanks!!

Today I wore my J. Crew pixalated houndstooth skirt for the first time. I thought this one might sell out, so I sprung for it at full price plus an extra 20% off.

Looks great with the darker sweater and lighter bag.





Has anyone tried on the Bon Voyage tee? It looks strangely wide across the body and neck, but with narrow sleeves. I tried googling for irl pics of people wearing it but I couldn't find any.

I have some questions about the J. Crew Arabelle dress. Does anyone have it? If so, how does it fit? Also, does anyone know if you can get the dress altered to fit better? I know there's some boning and a corset for better fit but I was wondering if that can also be altered. Here's a picture of the dress.

Anyone know how the sizing is on the toothpick garment dyed jeans? I wear a size 2 in the cafe capri and factory ponte pants and they are pretty fitted on me. I'm normally a size 27/28 in other brands of jeans! Thank you!

Personally I think these run small. I wear a size 4 in the cafe capri pants and got a 29 and they are still a bit tight for me.

I tried it on as a possible wedding dress a couple summers ago. It runs big (as does all J.Crew sizing). I'm a 34a with 26/27 inch natural waist, and I would have needed a size 0 or 2. I don't know about alterations but I don't remember the top being too stiff even with the boning. I think alterations would be possible.

Last week I got my first bikini in a very long time, and it's really cute. I went with the padded string bikini top and the skirted bottom because I think it helps make up for my narrow hips (inverted triangle body type). The sea glass is a good color for me, but stands out more than I'm used to. It took a little getting used to, but that's probably just me.

I felt I was well covered with the medium top, but I'm a 36A so it doesn't take a whole lot to cover me :smile1:. The padding (removed in the picture) is pretty thin and flexible so if your worried about showing when it's cold, additional padding would be a good idea. It's been cold so I popped in a firmer and thicker insert and it worked well. I didn't dive in it, but it all stayed put fine while swimming.

I really like the bottoms. I wanted something that gave the illusion of hips without being matronly looking and it meets that well. It's fairly low rise, for a skirted bottom, but not VS level of low rise. It's pretty light too which I think gives a really nice look.

I'm sorry about not posting a modeling picture. While I feel good enough about how I look in it to wear it to the condo pool, I'm a little shaky about modeling it for the internet.
