I love them, as they are great in fall and spring and good for using as a tee under things in winter. I buy my usual XS in these, but they are fitted so sizing up would be fine.

I won’t be shopping anymore because I hate dealing with mailing things back when the retailer does not have free shipping and returns, it’s wasted money to pay to try on clothes. <br /><br />The store was located at our upscale outdoor liftesyle mall. Several stores in this mall have closed over the last year. It’s pretty sad to see the death of traditional retail. If the Loft store in this mall closes (also our only location in Tucson) I don’t know where I’ll shop. <br /><br />We also have an outlet here and I wonder if it will close as well. jacquelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00155568099007397724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1080179846501516732018-01-12T20:03:46.613-05:002018-01-12T20:03:46.613-05:00I have a 2 Factory promo codes for an additional ...I have a 2 Factory promo codes for an additional 10% off.

I know you like to keep a low profile, Alexis and hope everything is ok, hopefully you're just busy! I'm just a bit worried and hoping all is well <3<br /><br />On another note, the lovely and generous Ina had sent me a 15% off code that I was saving for a beginning of the semester treat. I finally used it on a V neck featherweight cashmere sweater in neon primrose. With the discount it was $20 including tax so well worth giving it a try despite the website not having a picture of the item (I know, I know, J Crew website problems galore!). I sized up to a small because I find that when I wash my cashmere the sleeves shrink and that was the right choice here, there's just enough room for layering so it may run a bit on the small size (for reference, I am an XXS in Jackies, XS in Tippis and size 0 in shirts). The cashmere feels fairly soft (for J Crew quality), hopefully it doesn't pill! I'll report back after I wash it. I remember another JCA got it too and was pleased, so this one is a love for me. Thank you so much Ina for the 15% off, my graduate student/public school educator budget thanks you!Anthro Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923838563131831044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-53296874234234246212018-01-12T18:59:02.664-05:002018-01-12T18:59:02.664-05:00I reached out to Customer Service and they told me...I reached out to Customer Service and they told me that they were closing Southdale and Rosedale locations.

I know it’s old news and I probably won’t wear it til next year but it’s so perfect ... unique, special, well made, looks expensive. In a year of a lot of fast-fashion crap, it gives me hope that J Crew can still turn out special pieces. Early access stuff is not tempting me out of my shopping ban but I do like the round Signet!<br /><br />In other news, two Minneapolis store closings announced today including Mall of America.ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121478944826442351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26190548502877470162018-01-12T18:39:39.093-05:002018-01-12T18:39:39.093-05:00Sales section seems really depleted.

I had originally ordered a 6 in the regular length and then saw the tall was a fraction of the price of the regular (this has been the case with a few items). The size 6 works on me but is a little short and just a tad tighter than I'd like. The tall hits right at the top of my knees and the v is not indecent. I'm not a huge fan of the center seam down the front and it definitely needs a skinny belt to finish it off but for less than $30, I'm sold. <br /><br />Also grabbed the pack green wide leg crepe matte pants this morning so pleased about that!Anne - The Fab Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235117913749019487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-90941612805159750252018-01-12T18:24:22.013-05:002018-01-12T18:24:22.013-05:00Tip if you want a price adjustment.

This morning, around 6 AM ET I saw that a couple of items I had just purchased were lower. I emailed for the price adjustment this morning. I got a very polite response at 1 PM that I actually got a better price in my orders. When I go on the website, I see that the prices are higher now than they were this morning. I didn't take screen shots so it would be a futile exercise.

I've seen that on a few websites lately. I wonder, though, where all this stuff has been? Hiding in the warehouse or just gathered up from the stores over the past couple of months...??? I also wonder how the weekend sales are going to look and if there will be an update in the sale section. Do like the round signet bag!

I think it's smart. Even though I'm on the smaller side, I think some garments actually look better on curvier women. The model wearing the black Billie boot cut looks awesome! That's one of the reasons I started on IG. seeing real life women of all sizes wearing clothes that otherwise we might only see on a size 0 pinned makes a big difference.Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226837404763250767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83023603543798830112018-01-12T16:01:22.775-05:002018-01-12T16:01:22.775-05:00@Suz, I for some reason am just seeing you were ab...@Suz, I for some reason am just seeing you were able to get some things.

I feel so self conscious in them! So for a few years I've been wearing looser styles but I gained a few lbs and decided maybe tight pants will help me nip it in the bud (and cutting alcohol, sugar, dairy, etc.). I like them. The Small is a little loose for working out but I felt the XS felt too tight right now. I also got the JCrew leggings with the ankle ties and although they're adorable I think I'll use them for yoga and spin but not bootcamp classes. They were so inexpensive, just for hanging out at home they're fine too.Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09226837404763250767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-54388978954447072702018-01-12T15:41:37.175-05:002018-01-12T15:41:37.175-05:00Bummer about the tie sleeve sweater, I had the sam...Bummer about the tie sleeve sweater, I had the same issue - the fit was totally off for me.
