Ugh. It's such a pretty color...and the vest is so perfect for fall and winter. I also purchased the schoolboy blazer in red for $100 as a means to get my total up to $150. Bad idea to choose an item you actually really want just for that purpose. I fell in love with the blazer and the vest :(<br /><br />Versatile pieces no doubt, but I've been shopping a lot lately with all these sales. I'm so conflicted.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682007593914953081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-64212566287867201772012-11-08T22:28:48.255-05:002012-11-08T22:28:48.255-05:00Thanks, I will give it a try!

I then replied, in just an offhand manner, "oh, I was only asking because I had heard that they were doing that at other stores" to which she just shrugged her shoulders. I didn't say anything else and she rang me up. As I was walking out of the store, I noticed that she had applied the student discount instead of the 25% off! I returned to the counter and she said, "oh, I told you I couldn't stack them. You want the 25%?" HELL-O!!! Of course I want the higher amount off. I feel like she was being deliberately rude and, if I hadn't been so stunned by it all, I probably would have voiced this to her!!!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08426330253011001082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-51623379708022003162012-11-08T18:03:40.585-05:002012-11-08T18:03:40.585-05:00Yes, I received the navy ones (that I had ordered ...Yes, I received the navy ones (that I had ordered back in the summer and shipped in October from the 2012 crop) and they were too tight in a 0. Reordered them in a 2 and they were too loose (they looked old-ladish). I ended up returning both even if they were a great deal. I thought that since in the meanwhile I got the velvet toothpicks in navy I didn't need these so badly to put up with the fit.

The Tippi ...So my first OURTREAT order arrived....<br /><br />The Tippi sweater in navy/mint stripes is just darling. Took my usual size XXS - arms were a bit tight and the torso a but loose but the wool is so comfy and I finally understood why Gigi loves the neckline so. Just a note - the stripes are not just navy and mint but there is some purple! Not noticeable from the website but a happy surprise. The whole thing is just darling.<br /><br />The purple merino v-neck sweater was a huge fail. The wool was lovely - thin and not itchy - and the color was gorgeous but the neck and torso was enormous on me and it was just way too long. Plus, the wool is too thin to wear alone - you can see the bra outline - and the wool is so thin that it would be hard to layer a tee or a tank under it with bumps and lumps showing through. I think you need to be at least 5 foot 6 or 7 to wear this sweater.<br /><br />Next up - black stovepipe trouser. My normal size was a little tight - so I recommend sizing up in these. Unlined but not itchy - but the wool seems thin. I thought about ordering a size up - but then I saw on the package that they are actually the cafe trouser - just renamed! Tricky tricky J.Crew - but I have a super 120s cafe trouser one size up from last season when I wore a bigger size so.<br /><br />Finally, the sterling skirt. I ordered it in three sizes - my normal 00P, then 0P and 00. 00P looks like a slightly A-line pencil skirt. 00 looks swingy and really A-line - similar to what it looks on the model (not exactly because I am short and not as skinny as a model). The 0P was a complete disaster - made me look hippy and dowdy and all kinds of awful.<br /><br />So, I am debating between the more fitted 00P and the swingy 00. I took some pictures ...anyone want to help me decide? If so, please email me at florapower9@gmail.com and I will send you the pics. I would LOVE your advice.<br />Flower Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07702975223473268369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-45765828937471489022012-11-08T15:17:26.506-05:002012-11-08T15:17:26.506-05:00Just bit on the French hen boy shirt and the no. 2...Just bit on the French hen boy shirt and the no. 2 pencil skirt in mauve blush.
