If they are starting with that sort of thing, I will stop shopping there. I won't buy anything from Victoria's Secret for that reason alone; even if you're just exchanging for a different size, they scan your license. I don't abuse returns but I do make a lot of online returns because like you, I order different sizes because I'm unsure of sizing. Please do let us know what you find out from CS.shopalothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998866869869291994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-57956196770324753152015-02-06T09:03:31.694-05:002015-02-06T09:03:31.694-05:00Hi SE Mom - good point about something going on at...Hi SE Mom - good point about something going on at my B&M. I could understand showing a photo ID if I were attempting to return without a receipt or something, but I had all my online paperwork, tags were attached, etc. They were even "online exclusive" items. Geez! I'm going to try to get some answers from Loft CS and will post if I get any clarification. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-26062598304118952692015-02-06T02:16:46.679-05:002015-02-06T02:16:46.679-05:00That return experience is really weird.

In fact, I have never even been asked to show my license at at Loft during any transaction. Maybe there is something funky going on at that particular B&M?SE Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537722194376827564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-69572306030491527282015-02-05T22:29:37.446-05:002015-02-05T22:29:37.446-05:00A quick applaud for the new BR "premium"...A quick applaud for the new BR "premium" denim skinnies and legging jeans -- I have an athletic body type, no waist, muscular but thinnish glutes and legs, so the skinnies and leggings fit me best. BR traditionally was too loose in the crotch/upper thigh for me, not attractive, but their new premium line (not sure why the "premium" designation, as it seems not to be any more expensive) is stretchier and so I think it will fit a wider range of body types. I keep trying JC denim, as it has evolved, but it has never been more than just okay. The main draw for me has always been the colors offered in their cords, but for the most part, I shop elsewhere for both denim and cords...AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89013990768715208022015-02-05T22:23:01.489-05:002015-02-05T22:23:01.489-05:00I also like Boden.

I agree that you have to pick and choose to avoid the frumpy and the cutesy, but there is a lot of old school JC and anthro charm to be found, especially in the dresses and skirts. Also am still a fan of their cashmere, thick and lovely and soft, without the super-pilling worry that is always at risk with JC cashmere...AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42347527210701155472015-02-05T08:35:49.807-05:002015-02-05T08:35:49.807-05:00A rant and a rave for Loft:

When I asked them what the return limit was, the SA could not give me a clear answer. She said, “Oh, it’s like a certain number over a certain number of days”. I don’t get to a B&M often and tend to order multiple sizes (or online exclusives) and would like some clarification on this policy before I place any more orders, you know? The photo ID thing is annoying enough, but I’d like to know what the official policy is - what if it’s three returns in a 30-day period and I get shut down if I have to make another return in February? <br /><br />Rave: I didn’t realize that they offer Quick Exchange by phone, which honors the price you paid (if you bought on promo and the item’s off promo by the time you need to exchange) AND free shipping. I bought the overalls (yay overalls!) on a 50% promo and needed to size down and thought that I’d have to wait for another promo and possible ride-alongs (see above gripe) but I just called their CS and ordered the smaller size at the price I paid with free shipping. Very happy with that. silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-8542579815494498792015-02-05T08:19:01.372-05:002015-02-05T08:19:01.372-05:00I am also liking Boden.

They had a red and blue floral in the New Arrivals this week---same basic color scheme as Crew's Firework Floral, but so much prettier and better executed. Sometimes their stuff can be a little too cutesy, and sometimes their florals can look like my aunt's old sofa pattern, but more often lately, they remind me of old Crew stuff circa 2006-2007. Same models, too.

Items ordered by their suggested sizing fit perfectly, fabrics feel high-quality AND are machine washable. They left a promotional item out of my order and a live chat with customer service fixed the issue in 2 minutes.
