I also ordered the camel colored sweater with black polka dots. I *love* both. They are lightweight, great money for value, and very happy looking items. I also like that the heart is symmetrical, and not lopsided like the JCrew heart.<br /><br />I ordered my sweaters with some kind of special promotion that has since expired. But Old Navy seems to always run some kind of deal, so I imagine you'll be able to get the sweaters for an even better deal than they currently are in the near future.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09129670242606943621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-50964233490698827112012-07-18T15:24:31.843-04:002012-07-18T15:24:31.843-04:00This may have been brought up here before, but thi...This may have been brought up here before, but this bib from baublebar looks very J.

I have seriously bought so much they should give me free shipping for life. <br /><br />Their clothes are really well made, I understand the fit now and I've bought pretty much everything for not only me but also my son's girlfriend who had very few clothes. I can be generous when a shirt is $8.00 and a sweater is $10. I've seen their previews for Fall and after my LEC education this summer, I'm looking forward to them (and Boden!). <br /><br />I'm excited for JC's Fall too but glad to see other retailers stepping up to the plate with good quality.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00675063796680537865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42436179744942290792012-07-18T12:05:22.363-04:002012-07-18T12:05:22.363-04:00I have the indigo/cream color block version, and I...I have the indigo/cream color block version, and I love it, too!Joanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/02968937800767738526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-75841308962848529092012-07-18T11:13:39.041-04:002012-07-18T11:13:39.041-04:00I just did a quick little blog post about some of ...I just did a quick little blog post about some of the things I bought, if anyone is interested.

Some stuff that I wanted but was too cheap to buy is now marked down ridiculously low, and with the 30% off, it's practically stealing. Oh, and free shipping over $50. I got two wool skirts, a ponte dress, two pairs of shoes, a cute printed LEC dress, and two knit skirts, for $160. Win! Unfortunately, some other things I wanted flew out of my cart before I could check out... but there are always popbacks!<br /><br />To get the sale:<br />Code: DRIFTER<br />Pin: 4444<br /><br />I've noticed that often, I get free shipping when I only have $20 or so in my cart, so even if you only want one item, it's worth a try!<br /><br />I am sure half of my stuff will not work out but hey, at least it's returnable, and I can just run to Sears to return it.

You can see it <a href="http://notesfromdressingroom.blogspot.com/2012/07/ootd-cold-shoulders.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br />As far as the fit, I would say it is tts to slightly snug depending on your bust and/or torso size. I sized up because of my larger bust size and it stays up comfortable without feeling the need to readjust or constantly pull it back up. I don't know how tall you are, but it is midi-length on me at 5'4. I wouldn't alter it either because I think it would ruin the print and lines of the dress. And I want to note that the buttons in the back are loose and might pop off. Overall, I love the dress and I say this as someone who avoids anything strapless. The print is so much fun and there is detailing that makes this dress extremely feminine and flattering. I hope you are able to score one!fshnonmymindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188338589104627907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-80917571109031008752012-07-18T09:57:41.786-04:002012-07-18T09:57:41.786-04:00Nordstrom adding more fitting information to women...Nordstrom adding more fitting information to women's clothing items - noticed this with even pre-sale pieces on line. Buyers are providing text and photos to help with sizing and styling - one oversize cashmere sweater has three photos with it to see how it looks in three different sizes for one person, depending on how fitted or slouchy one wants to go. Customer fit and garment questions along with buyer replies also posted. This is all in addition to the posting of customer reviews.
