Packages daily for weeks on end??? That is a unique way to go through life.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I know. I have been ordering lots of J.Crew. My baby is turning two, and I finally decided some of my Mommy weight is never going to go away. After holding off buying new clothes for so long, I need a new wardrobe. I used to be a P0/00 but I'm now a 2. So I lost an entire wardrobe - except for my collection of shoes. For two years, I laid off heels and bought only flats. <BR/><BR/>My frenzy has nothing to do with final sale. I started picking up items that I like even back in May :)<BR/><BR/>-- VivianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-55513720277876848332008-07-01T17:33:00.000-04:002008-07-01T17:33:00.000-04:00The educator discount - I managed to get it each t...The educator discount - I managed to get it each time over the phone.

My hear is set on the Slub Cotton Beach Weekend Dress in Navy XS. Unfortunately, they didn't have the color or size for me, but there are tons of other stuff on sale. I think J Crew is extending their sale because of their website glitch.webbysuzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226974003227288880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-41969488071486719482008-07-01T15:51:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:51:00.000-04:00Thank you for the comments on the Zoey dress, crew...Thank you for the comments on the Zoey dress, crewobsessed and josie!<BR/><BR/>I think I'll pass on it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-72289783841121578022008-07-01T15:44:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:44:00.000-04:00vivian: regarding the "no packages" issue...I feel...vivian: regarding the "no packages" issue...I feel your pain...I think I am going through withdrawals right now...if we order something from Endless.com it will be delivered to us tomorrow...hmmm....<BR/><BR/>(JUST KIDDING...I need to really wait for the next extra % off sale and more merchandise to be added...I'm hoping it will be a good one to make up for all of this mess and hassle.)Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-22501438140572300582008-07-01T15:36:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:36:00.000-04:00Thanks Vivian...glad to know I make you smile! :) ...Thanks Vivian...glad to know I make you smile! :) <BR/><BR/>I think the CS girl was a little surprised when I said it, but come ON now...their computer issues are one thing I am trying to be patient with them about, but physically throwing my package (already paid for none the less)on the truck (no computer involved, just actual physical human labor)is a completely different issue...give me a break!Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-40419574218593301162008-07-01T15:32:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:32:00.000-04:00I think some of us could do with a shopping break....I think some of us could do with a shopping break.

Wanted to share an idea with you...I think it would be a really great idea for J.Crew to set our profiles for online checkout to automatically calculate our Educator and Student dicounts when we shop and checkout via computer, as opposed to always having to call the order in to get them applied...it would save everyone a whole lot of time! They supposedly now have ALL of our info stored in one profile, so why not also have our online profile set to remember that we get the discounts?Melissa@AllThingsSimplifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076948687302539385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-66083072907168268532008-07-01T15:20:00.000-04:002008-07-01T15:20:00.000-04:00FabulousFloridaMommy:Love your posts!!

I found it to be quite sack like and felt like belting it would be too fussy with the patterned material. I just didn't feel like it was a flattering cut at all. I found the pique short sleeve dress to be similarly unflattering. I like shifts, but I'm really picky as far as the cut goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644848588422565815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-77343514162357067282008-07-01T14:53:00.000-04:002008-07-01T14:53:00.000-04:00Chini, I'm also pear shaped (size 2/4 on top, size...Chini, I'm also pear shaped (size 2/4 on top, size 4/6 on bottom) I'm a size 4 in J Crew's pants, but with traditional bathing suits I always buy a size 6 for my bottom half. I'm new to JCrew swimwear, but I have to say I'm hooked---they are fabulous! This year, I bought 2 Jcrew bikinis (size 4 on top---and size Mediums for the bottom. They worked out perfectly.) One piece suits are often a pain in the rear (no pun intended) but I did find 2 suits that worked from JCrew. Is it me, or are they cut bigger on the bottoms than traditional designer suits? I (and my bum) am LOVING that! The solid underwire glamour tank fit me great in a size 4. I couldn't believe it wasn't too small on the bottom, but it was perfect. The pinstripe seersucker shirred underwire tank also fit me in a 4, but because of the material I felt this one felt a bit smaller all-around. I could have easily done the size 6, but my girls couldn't quite fill up the top so I sized down. Hope that helps! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08644848588422565815noreply@blogger.com
