I didn't have any fit issues as it was tts for me. I'm just over 5'8" & 36C; normally wear an 8/medium in JC. Keeping it for now; if I find something better, I will return. Looked at chateau trench, but I know it doesn't work for my purposes.

In the tops that have run larger in the past 2 years (e.g. crepe blouses), I've taken a 4. <br /><br />I thought I might take a 4 in the metallic gingham because of the wider looking shoulders and under arms, but the 6 was good. The 4 also fit and looks better through the shoulders and arms, but not so much in the body. <br /><br />I updated <a href="http://bit.ly/metallicgingham" rel="nofollow"><b>my post</b></a> w/this info + chest & waist measurements for the 4 & 6.

I can't remember...<br />If it was you, my review of it wasn't good. Ordered the XS. Sleeves were long on me. It felt one size too big. I have a feeling an XXS would've worked. (For reference, I'm 4'11, 36B, 26/P2 in pants). Not lined, and found the cotton fabric to be only meh. It didn't wow me. I guess it didn't help trying it on, since I was already feeling grumpy from work. I returned it yesterday. :-)JSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019374356359095038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-45506441131888752792016-03-27T21:04:29.612-04:002016-03-27T21:04:29.612-04:00Review of the metallic gingahm popover & Who W...Review of the metallic gingahm popover & Who What Wear for Target denim skirt <a href="http://bit.ly/metallicgingham" rel="nofollow"><b>on Gigi's Gone Shopping</b></a>.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-75323915770928685142016-03-27T11:49:18.463-04:002016-03-27T11:49:18.463-04:00This sounds like a trend.

I'm wearing the salmon colored Collection fringe suede skirt with the lemon crystal necklace & neon tassel earrings. I saw this skirt on Ema's IG (crazyaboutjcrew) and fell in love with it. Ema has a great sense of style and I was able to order from a NY store. It's been a great piece in my wardrobe. I posted pictures on my IG (peterst1).

The selection is awful as well since they put a huge Crewcuts section in and downsized the women's section. I went into Madewell which was so packed you could barely walk through and Lululemon was packed as well.

Sale was 40% off in my store - nothing exciting in the sale section at my store, lots of tees, shop worn sweaters and Ryder pants galore. The mall was pretty busy for a Friday evening and the store was moderately busy. One of my favorite SAs was working - she looked super cute in the selvedge matchstick jeans, gold Harper flats and the leather front cardigan from last year and a white button down. <br /><br />I tried on a few dresses - the bell sleeve striped dress - this didn't work for me, but I was glad it wasn't as short as I thought it would be. It definitely runs big and being larger on my bottom than my top sizing down wasn't a problem. The sleeves just aren't for me. I also tried the contrast eyelet dress and the tipped jacquard shift in dot as well as the embroidered tee and the wide leg ponte pants. The ponte pants were a surprise love - I sized down to a 10 and they were perfect. I didn't buy anything but I am still thinking about these pants - they are a nice thick knit (same pixie pant material - the softer thicker pixie material. They'll be coming home with me at some point. <br /><br />I posted the try-on photos on my blog <b><a href="http://www.fablifeforever.com/2016/03/26/j-crew-in-store-try-ons-march-2016/" rel="nofollow">here</a></b>Anne - The Fab Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10235117913749019487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-1449211650434115532016-03-26T12:00:38.115-04:002016-03-26T12:00:38.115-04:00Review of the short-sleeve shift dress in ornate l...Review of the short-sleeve shift dress in ornate lace <a href="http://bit.ly/1UsFLJD" rel="nofollow"><b>in this post</b></a>.<br /><br />I might go in to return the metallic gingham popover (4).
