Although the tall sizes fit very well, aside from a small amount of suiting, pants, pencil skirts and coats it is slim pickings for us tall JCA's. I wonder if Jenna Lyon has her J Crew pieces custom made since she is 6'tall. You'd think that she would have some influence when it comes to producing more tall sizes but it probably comes down to whether it is profitable or not. I personally have not bought as much J Crew in recent years due to a combination of the lack of tall sizes as well as quality issues. <br />Awakening my Wardrobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657836778192537111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-24398277173875731572013-02-10T21:03:55.499-05:002013-02-10T21:03:55.499-05:00Yes, almost sure about itYes, almost sure about itEmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-38281336581584302732013-02-10T20:54:28.801-05:002013-02-10T20:54:28.801-05:00Stopped by my B&M while in the mall.

I'll re-buy it if it goes on sale enough. I loved it, but not full-price loved-it. I haven't tried on the longer one but I like the looks of it. I agree they don't really stand out, but that is what I like about them. I liked that white shirt with the little flecks of color too, that was cool. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-3923079082259142682013-02-10T10:38:18.284-05:002013-02-10T10:38:18.284-05:00Went to a b&m yesterday for the first time in ...Went to a b&m yesterday for the first time in months. Some thoughts...<br /><br />Tried on the Liberty-collar merino sweater in navy. I grabbed a small and while it fit fine, it felt boxy yet a little short in the torso. The collar was also really hard to button/unbutton. I didn't try a xs to compare, unfortunately, but I would imagine that sizing down would make it even shorter. <br /><br />I surprisingly liked the pop-art tee in the mint color. I don't need any graphic tees but this one was really cute. You can probably size down in this...I tried a small but it had plenty of room. <br /><br />My favorite try-on (and eventual purchase) was what appears to be an in-store only item...a chambray polka dot schoolboy blazer. I fell hard for this piece. It's going to look darling over colorful knit dresses in the summer! Fit TTS, but size up if you'll be doing a lot of layering.AppGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00357132357374563505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-50732545771609878822013-02-09T23:34:32.062-05:002013-02-09T23:34:32.062-05:00Codes have been claimed!Codes have been claimed!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18361717537701066412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26265113067094283312013-02-09T22:07:55.315-05:002013-02-09T22:07:55.315-05:00Yes, Shima Maceo, that helps a great deal.

They are running a 25% off full price scarves promotion in store so I picked up both of the bazaar scarves (item 34544) -- both colors are gorgeous and with the wool/silk mix, I think would be good year round.<br /><br />The only other two items I was tempted by were (1) the peter pan merino sweater in stripe (item 36078, $89.50) in the navy/nectar color way; and the (2) the tilda rhinestone top ($110) in either the white or classic blue oxford. The peter pan sweater was totally cute, and this color combo is adorable. I found the grey/white to be a little bland. The only reason I didn't get this is that the merino is similar to the polka dot tipis, which I found snagged a little easily. This needs to be on sale before I purchase. The same with the rhinestone top. It is REALLY, REALLY cute. But it's dry clean only and I go to the dry cleaners maybe twice per year. (Husband does his own dry-cleaning, as of last year -- yay!!) I would probably not risk machine wash, even on the gentle cycle, and I just am not interested in either hand washing or ironing. I would wear this as a casual shirt, and this is way too much effort, as very cute as it is...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-21563404151438030232013-02-09T15:31:29.038-05:002013-02-09T15:31:29.038-05:00I have 2 J.

I usually shop their website (I live about an hour from the closest store), and while the pictures on the site frequently look like they might fit, I keep actually getting things like the Snowcap jacket, which only reached the halfway point between my chest and my waist!

Was hoping to love the two new fatigue jackets but both were underwhelming in person. All the new shirts, though -- the liberty prints, the chambray variations, as well as a stunning white popover with little bleed-throughs of color that's not online yet -- were beautiful, and I fell in love with the Crystal Venus flytrap necklace. Tartine satchel looks cheap IRL.

Maybe I will try an email to Mickey too. One good thing about today was that it was fairly slow in the store and I had two sales associates hovering around while I was trying stuff on. They both remarked that about the short lengths. Maybe they will provide some feedback to HQ.Shimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489683048793978750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-7477333414339643102013-02-08T22:33:20.041-05:002013-02-08T22:33:20.041-05:00Sorry, replying to shekster.

The daisy lace is a nice weight and very pretty. I thought it would look great under a suit jacket and of course could be worn more casually. Honestly, but for the fact that it was too short, I would have purchased it. It was not as boxy as the other tops I tried, though it was not a slim fit either. I hope that helps!

I tried on a number of items and despite my initial thoughts from seeing the items on the website, I did not buy anything. It was almost entirely a sizing issue. Without exception, everything I tried was too short. I am on the tall side but still was surprised. I tried the tweed front tee in both navy and pink. I loved the pink especially but it was short and very boxy. My biggest disappointment was the merino top with the floral print silk panel. Again, too short and quite boxy. Loved the gilded brocade tunic but too short. Also tried the reverse jacquard shirt, tippi cardigan in the navy, grey, green colour block style, the daisy lace tee, the micro tweed jacket in navy and an origami sheath dress. All too short. Good for my bank account though!!Shimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489683048793978750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42948123475018297742013-02-08T19:55:30.123-05:002013-02-08T19:55:30.123-05:00OT but for those JCAs in the Maryland area (specif...OT but for those JCAs in the Maryland area (specifically Rockville, Gaithersburg area), they will be opening a new J Crew store in the CrownFarm urban development project across from the Rio Center. We met with a developer there to inquire about leasing ops and they were telling us all the retail/restaurants that have already leased. He named J Crew--I think it will end up being a small store and you'd still have to head to Tysons or Georgetown for Collection items. Nonetheless, how exciting, but my wallet might be in trouble!cuckoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426733382538628511noreply@blogger.com
