I'm on the fence about it. I do agree with other posters that the cashmere seems of a better quality this year, so the feel of the sweater is great. <br /><br />The fit is definitely more relaxed, as pictured, but almost to the extent that I think I would want to belt it unless I'm wearing my skinniest pants (might be harder to pair with heavier winter fabrics?). I got an XS, which is the size I have in this year's cashmere crewneck which is very snug. I don't know if I can justify it, even at the 25% markdown I paid. <br /><br />Pros: LOVE the heather tide color, soft & cozy feel of the fabric, comfortable fit. Cons: unsure about the look of the fit on me, not sure if it will be versatile enough for me to justify the price...might consider buying it in the grey since that's just been marked down. Anyway, SUPER long response but hope that helps!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003885825656622973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-59029954036157744772010-12-02T23:23:52.134-05:002010-12-02T23:23:52.134-05:00Molly Darling- I also can't tell the differenc...Molly Darling- I also can't tell the difference between the heather acorn and heather saddle.

But I did get up to 40% off coupons from other retailers, so my money has gone somewhere else. Your loss JCrew, my gain. Congrats to all of you who got it, and happy shopping :)<br /><br />To Claire.Rebeca, yes, I purchased the Quoddy shearling mocs, not the boots, and I can confirm that they are very well made, I love them. I have not worn them all day yet, as it is one of Santa's gifts to me, but I'm looking forward to wearing them on Dec 25. I also came accross a pair of Ralph Lauren booties which looked very similar to the Quoddy mocs, for a lot more. Hope this helps.Gatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012345602398794010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-86276321887982696322010-12-02T00:00:42.700-05:002010-12-02T00:00:42.700-05:00Thanks Caroline re: Elette sizing tip!Thanks Caroline re: Elette sizing tip!Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331061811844215889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-65680359556344031672010-12-01T23:15:26.591-05:002010-12-01T23:15:26.591-05:00I didn't get the e-mail, but I contacted custo...I didn't get the e-mail, but I contacted customer service, and they said I could place an order over the phone and they would apply the promotion to it.

The body fits me slightly large but the arms are a little tighter and confirmed that I needed the Medium. So based on that, I'd say its pretty true to size.<br /><br />@ Elizabeth, I agree to check with cs because my cashmere T is a bit longer this year versus last years (the fit also feels a bit larger but not enough for me to fit into a smaller size).Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16259079991551960605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-52231839548313639052010-12-01T21:37:50.600-05:002010-12-01T21:37:50.600-05:00I have a gift or two I'd like to buy and of co...I have a gift or two I'd like to buy and of course a few things for myself, so will probably wait a day or two for use the code....it came in this morning and I was pretty excited!

For the long-waisted ladies, I'm sure that is great but for me, it's not good at all. the Jackie cardigan and the cashmere crewneck cardigans are good lengths but I'm still stunned how long the cashmere turtleneck is.<br /><br />So the Winslow booties arrived. They are going back. You have to undo the leather laces in order to get your foot in and those laces will break. I can tell already. And if the laces break, there is no point, the shoe is ruined. IMHO they are awkward too.<br /><br />The dock stripe perfect shirt will be going back as well. Too thin! <br /><br />The Bandelier boots are, however, great!!! Cute and comfortable, TTS, the bronzed beige is beautiful, yay!<br /><br />xoxo, oh! I honestly didn't know, I'm sorry!

It was in reference to that discount that I made the comment but I realize that it probably only made sense to me.

I would say get the same size in the tee as in the cardigan if you're planning to wear a shirt underneath. Something to keep in mind: I check with JC's CS to get the overall length of various cashmere pieces, using the crewneck cardi as a reference, and the tee is (I kid you not) 3" longer than the cardi. So if you're planning to wear it with the cardi as a twinset, you'll have to tuck it in your pants!Closet Crisishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901050375126195972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-73383063313833150052010-12-01T18:38:03.032-05:002010-12-01T18:38:03.032-05:00Can anyone tell me how the sizing is on the cashme...Can anyone tell me how the sizing is on the cashmere tee's this season?

I'm like you, I have plenty of clothes, it was the shoes that I've been buying but only on promo. There's no way I'm spending close to $300 on shoes when right now, you can spend that for designer on sale. Saks, Neiman, Nordstrom, NAP are all having their designer sales on shoes. J. Crew should just have a big shoe promo.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675063796680537865noreply@blogger.com
