I love the sweater you can see at the top of that pic.. http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_...2023899&nav_type=SALESITE&bmUID=1267827724612

....but Im scared to spend the money because its so thin with a really wide loose knit and its a little snagged (on purpose), though I suspect that will create a tendency to snag much more..

I placed an order for that this morning (the navy striped) I tried one on in store at full price and really liked it - it didnt seem to have a snagging issue when I tried it on, and its very light and airy for spring. Good price too!

damn, i want the navy stripe too!

Just got this in the mail when it popped up in the sale section, its from last spring: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/knitstees/PRDOVR~15229/15229.jsp?srcCode=AFFI00001&siteId=mH0jcSTu4*0-8u*pzClqy3vx1Xy4wDcCcA

I wonder how the current ones compare?? I seem to remember that the new ones are thinner but the stores I've been to don't seem to have many left.

 

[MichelleAntonia]

^yeah i think they're thinner and "grainier", if that makes any sense

I ended up ordering the ripstop cargo's yesterday - I really wanted them in the light khaki and decided at the sale price I"d give them a try. Anyone try them? I usually wear a 6 but bought a 6P because of length. Hopefully it fits ok!

There were a few of us liking the Navy Striped Alpaca Vneck yesterday - I found a review on Gigi's blog. I think I'm going to really like that sweater!

You're making me want it more
It would probably be SUPER long on me though...

^^^I bought the Minnies last month, havent yet worn them, but I do really like the fit. I'm worried about the sagging though, I hate saggy bum...LOL

So in the sweater sale, the black blossoms cardi says the color is bright daffodil? Is that a mistake because how can it be bright dafodil if the name is black blossoms...

I bought the Minnies in the fall and really like them (fit wasn't an issue since I had to get them tailored). They do stretch out a little- I have to wash them or get them dry cleaned every 3-4 wears and they tighten up again. I've also machine-washed and dried them, they seem to have faded a tiny bit but since I bought grey it's not too much of a problem. I wash them inside-out, gentle cycle, cold water and tumble dry low. Pull them out immediately and they won't be too wrinkled.

Not sure which one's you bought but I have some ripstop's from a few months ago (fall maybe?) and I love them
I also have a pair of shorts and 2 pair of capris in this material and they are my favorites



want to try these also:

^^^ Cute! I don't have those, but they do look like those, only cropped. I bought them last Fall maybe around September?

I picked this up off the sale rack today, the white/gray stripe. It really looks so cute on... it doesn't have a whole lot of shelf/hanger appeal, but once I tried it on there was no hesitation. It just fits very well!

Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but these were such a bummer. From the description and pictures I thought they were going to be a little more slim-fitting than most cargos. Um... not really. Very baggy, with a nondescript fit. And the fabric was thicker and "crunchier" than I like. Who knows though, maybe you'll love them!

Well, the good thing is that they werent marked final sale, so they can go back if they aren't all that cute...I probably should have ordered a 4 in them, but to be safe ordered my normal size, which at JCrew isnt always the right size.
