Anyone has bought the jcrew neon citrus lace dress? How are you styling it?


After seeing it on Jean of Extra Petite, I checked it out and found it to be sheer. My usually vanity size "0" worked well, but I was turned off by the sheerness of the color. I suspect the red (more like red-orange) and blue are less or not sheer.
 
My ceces fell apart on me last week and I'm really surprised because I've never had this happen to any other pair of shoes I've owned ever. And it's not like I wore these to death like I have other shoes. Multiple cracks in the sole and part of it was actually dangling before it fell off (almost tripped on it). Has anyone had this happen??

Hello,

I posted this in "authenticate this bag" but realized I should have put it here. I am not asking for a specific authentication of these bags linked below, but a more general question. I have seen this bag with a leather J. Crew brand label inside below the inner zip pocket, and I have seen it as a brass plaque as well. I assume this is a generational thing as this bag has been around for a while, and I can't imagine faking this bag as the price is *relatively* low.

My question is, does anyone know if the brass or the leather indicates an older or a newer bag?

Also I bought a used mini brompton in henna and the leather is pretty matte and very susceptible to scratching. I mean even gently running your fingernail on it will scratch it although on can just rub it bad out. It has the metal name plaque inside. But I have seen bromptons in a rich, shiny, thick, henna leather as well. Was there a year with a particularly good leather, and the delicate leather I have was a bad year?

Thank you!
Beth

Here are two examples from bags currently on eBay.
