You enabler you! I was on my way home & literally got off the train when I heard "columbus cirlcle" (which to me just means j.crew & sometimes whole foods, lol) and two words popped into my head. Denim Minnies.
they are awesome. I did have to size up from my regular black minnies. I also bought this great pair of dangly rhinestoney earrings for $14.99, black ballet flats, a pink skinny belt, the bridget dress in black, and a thick crystal necklace with clear stones. Whoooopsies. :graucho:

sorry for the enabling, but glad you were able to get a pair :yahoo:. Don't you love them?
 
AHH! SHOEGASM!!!

Hi J Crew-aholics!

I'm about to place my first J.Crew order on line and I'm struggling to decide what sizes to order. Can anyone tell me how the sizing compares to Banana Republic?

I'd like to order a pair of chino shorts, a v-neck cardigan with chiffon trim, a short sleeve tee shirt, a v-neck sweater, and a short sleeve button down. If anyone could share their thoughts on sizing on similar items, it'd be much appreciated. Thx! :smile1:

for just about everything J. Crew I stick to my normal sizing. With the exception of cardigans - for cotton, I size up and cashmere true to size. Is there any possibility of visiting the store before ordering, because sometimes sizing is all over the place for certain body types.

I dont know how the sizing is vs BR, but I can say the sizes are typically TTS in pants, sometimes a size larger than my size, it all depends. Tops Id say are TTS with the exception of cardis - I'm a small everywhere else but almost always need a M in cardis. HTH!
 
Picked up these, finally..they run TTS and are so cute and comfy!

Also got these - they run TTS, and I could have sized down one size but I'm going to wash and throw them in the dryer instead.

The modeling pic online shows them being long enough to cuff up once - not the case, these shorts are 3.5 inches long and cuffing them gets them to the point of too much leg, if you know what I mean.

Also picked up some cute headbands on sale for $4.99 and one of the v neck linen cotton tees that are flowey in a mauve color, cant find it online...
 
Does anyone have the Saturday Twist Dress (http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Wom...nitstees/knitdresses/PRDOVR~17513/17513.jsp)? It looks like a really cute, comfy summer dress, but I often have trouble with the J.Crew jersey dresses because they are cut really long from the shoulder to the boobs, so the "V" neck is too deep and my bra pops out- not a good look! Has anyone tried it? Did you have that problem?

That is so true about the dresses being cut long. I only buy dresses now if petite sizes are available.
