Crew cashmere sweaters. It seems very tightly woven and from what I could tell of the few wearings it has had, it hasn't pilled terribly. It does pill, but only about the same as I have come to expect from my Boden and Pure Collection items. I haven't washed it much, but I definitely baby my sweaters, with a gentle hand wash cycle and laid flat to dry.

And, there are some items in store that are on sale that are not marked on sale online. For example, Excursion. Vests are full price online but marked at $99.99 in store before the 50% discount. They had quite a few colours and in most sizes. I got the black. The red check crinkle boy shirt is also sale priced at $74.99 before the discount. Lots of bow popovers also marked at $74.99 if I recall correctly. There were also quite a few sale priced items scattered throughout the store and not in the sale section so it is worth taking a walk around and checking the tags. I also wanted to mention that the fair isle leggings in the blue colour way were marked on sale at $74.99 before the discount. There was one in each size of xs, s, m and l. I mention this because I recall a JCA asking if there are any in store. Not sure if that helps if you are in the US but thought is would put that out there. And my final comment of the day: I was in the store for at least 45 minutes and made multiple trips to the fitting room. Not a single sales associate asked me if I needed any help. It was not very busy so no excuses there. It was pretty sad service.

The heather gray is cute too but it's REALLY sweatshirt-y looking, if that makes sense. I think the black will be more versatile for me.<br /><br />Shopalot, yes I got the pyramid-studded Ceces. I need another pair of ballets like I need a hole in the head, but I didn't have RED. The Deer Park IL store had several pairs and are doing 40% off sale. They are also stacking the educator discount if that applies. <br /><br />Muffin, the "Kohl's Test" helps me make decisions often! Sometimes I think I loooove something just because it's a new arrival w a J. Crew label on it, but I know that if I saw it at Kohl's I walk right by :) ruffleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121478944826442351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36378293346467188912013-12-29T09:45:53.048-05:002013-12-29T09:45:53.048-05:00Thanks ladies!

But, I'm not usually a fan of stronger prints on myself. I feel like they wear me, instead of the other way around. I do think the colours in this are beautiful and cheerful though. Fairview and Yorkdale stores in Toronto very picked over today in both sale and regular price areas. Why does Yorkdale have such awful greenish lighting in their dressing rooms and curtains that don't close well, instead of dressing room doors?! sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615231893297330454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-77907421895300729602013-12-29T00:29:48.760-05:002013-12-29T00:29:48.760-05:00I also saw the Moonglow paisley tee today.
