While the JC version is more substantial, the Dealz necklaces are pretty good for the price. I had the issue with the bottom flower flipping, and solved that by removing one of the flowers! It now lays perfectly, and I can clasp it at a more comfortable setting. It was pretty easy, I used a pair of pliars to open the rings, remove a flower, and reattach to the chain. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!Mariettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139566756383470107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-47962436090737477072013-06-28T18:05:07.369-04:002013-06-28T18:05:07.369-04:00I tried on the Skinny Utility Chino because I love...I tried on the Skinny Utility Chino because I love the olive color and my usual size was scandalously tight.

I can get a tailor to sew a stitch but I hate to pay more money. The price tags are still on as I was going to have my dh cut them before we went out but I don't know if I should return it as defective or still keep it. Also, just a fyi the sewn in tags (with size and jcrew name will have to be cut out or else you'll see them.) <br /><br />I'd suggest reinforcing the stitch right away if you buy it. Have you tried a store search for it? That way if you have a problem at least you could return it. If you call a store directly you can ask a SA to check inventory of stores from their computer.

Considering a back up pair/duplicate.<br />Not usually a fan of 'broken in' but my pair isn't so bad, and the bright (but not too bright), pretty color seems to make it less noticeable. Also, the fabric feels so much nicer than the regular 3", 4", 5", etc. length shorts. Def size down one time! They will stretch out, esp if you wear them a couple times before washing.JustVisitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656188832783701628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-18501083457155450912013-06-28T09:01:47.329-04:002013-06-28T09:01:47.329-04:00Well crap!

I was wearing it getting ready to go out for dinner and the top stitch broke literally after about 10 min. of wear. I was leaning to put my shoes on when it happened, it didn't feel like it was pulling across the back and it isn't tight on me. I was so mad, I had to change because you could really see my bra. janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-67488688304981429972013-06-27T16:48:54.644-04:002013-06-27T16:48:54.644-04:00Broken in Boyfriend chino shorts- I love the scuba...Broken in Boyfriend chino shorts- I love the scuba blue color, got these on popback. I can't say if they are truly tts - I took the same size as in one pair of 9 " chino shorts but another pair of 9" chino shorts required a bigger size for me. I went with measurements from cs. I don't love the fraying on the broken in shorts but I'm keeping them because I love the color and fit is good. <br /><br />Double crepe skirt (fresh pear) - I sized up one size to get more length because I won't wear skirts that short. It is def. poufy, my normal size would fit better except it was noticeably shorter. Im 5'7" so the poufyness didn't bother me. Sizing up made me feel comfortable with the length. It is a nice substantial material and I love the Fresh Pear color. <br /><br />Linen cotton drawstring pants- I haven't worn them yet so I don't know how wrinkly they'll get but I found them really comfortable and flattering for casual pants. I took the same size as in scout chinos. <br /><br />Botanical banana linen tank - I sized down one size for a better fit and really liked it on irl. I was on vacation so perhaps the tropical vibe kicked in. It is very sheer in the back though. I'm small chested, I could see this print looking weird if someone is big chested as some JCAs have mentioned. <br /><br />Wanted to mention that I saw scout chinos marked down last weekend (violet 19.99; rouge 29.99). I also picked up the pink striped Oxford popover for 19.99 before discount. The aventura Florida b&m had quite a few on Tuesday. <br /><br />I also purchased the colorblock tartine satchel, marked 169.99 before discount. I couldn't resist it at that price although not in the budget. I need an intervention from all of the sales. :)<br /><br />I janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257918991247030517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-63711359085631571212013-06-27T08:39:42.436-04:002013-06-27T08:39:42.436-04:00Thank you Pix*seeStyle!

There is no stacking of discounts. The percent off promo ends today. I didn't ant a glance see any secondary markdowns. Lots of new jewelry seemed to be marked down. BTW the new fall roll out is very pretty. There is a lace front sweatshirt sweater in tan or navy that is lovely, and a navy and emerald print skirt I admired.
