If it's not sold out yet, I may reorder size 00 in the near future. <br /><br />So I just received the 2rd order of this Collarless Leather Jacket (B7442), size 00 - I think I prefer the fit of this. It's still boxy. There's still room to layer. I compared both sizes, and I like size 00's fit of the sleeves; its better than size 0. <br /><br />I've never owned a leather jacket before, a duh question, but do leather jackets stretch out, like shoes and pants do (because of stretching)?JSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00019374356359095038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89657177716762626972015-04-15T08:11:57.303-04:002015-04-15T08:11:57.303-04:00Thank you so much JSR!

I love the black enough that I'm seriously contemplating keeping it despite already owning two other black leatger jackets! This one is very chic, very sophisticated. One could wear it as semi-formal wear. The footballer/varsity jacket look if the cayman blue jacket can be mitigated a bit if you're willing to get artsy with the jacket: pull the straps and drawstrings tight, let it puff up artistically. But, no question, the more bulk you wear under it, the better it will sit...and that limits it's wearability to just one season (fall) in my book.

Cannot find the tee online yet. It is striped with three quarter length sleeves and has a side slit on both sides with sequins. My first sequin purchase (shocking, I know). It is ivory with olive stripes. I usually wear a small but purchased this in a medium to wear over a thin tank or tee.

On me, it was big and shapeless. No bueno.<br /><br />J. Crew Perfect Shirt in Crinkle Blue Plaid (# C7982). This is a sleeper, you might not bother taking it in to try on, but it's nice. It's a Perfect Shirt, and we haven't seen many of those from J. Crew lately. <br /><br />J. Crew Drapey Chambray Popover (#B8766). This is not fitted; very roomy through the body but still looks like it fits on top because the shoulders are set (it's sleeveless, so I guess they couldn't drop the shoulders ha!). I liked.<br /><br />J. Crew Linen Cross Stripe Tee (#C5073). This is great!

This had a strange fit. The neck was so high, and the body was so wide. The shape didn't work for a crop top, IMO, but I'm sure someone will make it work. The crop is not too-too short. It was more the shape that I didn't care for.<br /><br />Madewell Slub Pocket Tee (#B9030). If this were a bit longer, I'd have loved it. The white is thick enough to not be see-through. But it was slightly too short for me. <br /><br />Madewell Embroidered Tangier Tee (#C4616). Very cute. You can probably size down. <br /><br />Madewell Chambray Tunic Dress (#B9956). Very roomy in the body. Cute, though.<br /><br />Birkenstock Madrid Sandals. J. Crew offers them in the new catalog, but I tried them on at Madewell. I can't find them on either web site, so I don't have a style number. I tried on the all-black ones and also the all-white ones (even the footbed is the same color as the upper). They are very light-weight, and I'm not sure what they're made of but they felt like a comfortable plastic? I'm a size 8 in shoes and often a size 7.5 in sandals (sometimes, rarely, a size 7 in flip-flops). I tried on the size 37 and 38. 37 was the right size for me. They only come in whole sizes. I could probably have made do with the 38s, but 37 was better. I want to note that the new J. Crew catalog also offers these with what looks like a traditional Birkenstock footbed with different colored uppers. Those seem to cost a lot more than the all-white and all-black ones, which feel kind of like a shower slide (I liked them, though).catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-65062306466722319322015-04-14T15:57:06.252-04:002015-04-14T15:57:06.252-04:00I got the structured mini skirt in sweet persimmon...I got the structured mini skirt in sweet persimmon (item B9106) last week. It had sold out in my size (6) a few times, but I finally managed to get it when it popped back. I'm so happy I got it. After so many recent disappointments at J.Crew, the skirt is absolutely lovely. It's a heavier weight twill fabric, the persimmon color is vibrant, but not too bright and the fit is great. Usually, J.Crew skirts are too big in the waist on me, but too tight in the hips. Not this one. I think it's a lot nicer than the other pleated skirt they have on offer this spring, which has an exposed zipper and comes in colors that are way too bright.<br />Amy Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209305363385978562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-55161146445470294242015-04-14T13:46:03.929-04:002015-04-14T13:46:03.929-04:00I reviewed a JCrew necklace (Full Spectrum in Vivi...I reviewed a JCrew necklace (Full Spectrum in Vivid Ink) today on my blog, and discussed a dress that was issued last fall (Collection Wool Boucle in navy).<br />Very pleased that I've found a couple of lovely things at JCrew these last few months... especially since otherwise the spring/summer offerings have not interested me.DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-55783192388619295572015-04-14T11:48:44.031-04:002015-04-14T11:48:44.031-04:00Good article.
