I tried my usual size in black and they actually felt too big AND the side of one of the shoes was all crinkled up....defective...unbelievable. They seemed comfy though. Why were the Kira sandals a fail? I was considering them.

And the skirt is way too long for me at 5’3. But the shorts…love from a far, but there is no way I’m trying on those until my post-holiday body hits some more yoga sessions. I can’t do shorts now…and that is saying something since I live in a mild climate. My legs do not need to see daylight for some time…ha.<br /><br />And I like the Stripe cotton-silk popover that is sold out; however, I liked it when it first appeared in the last rollout and disappeared. Guess it is a sign I don’t need that shirt and should find a substitute. <br />TXgirl14https://www.blogger.com/profile/07884860632767475779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-8001473316648532642013-01-04T09:46:00.295-05:002013-01-04T09:46:00.295-05:00I finally sat down with the catalog last night...a...I finally sat down with the catalog last night...aside from being underwhelmed, the thing that stood out to me the most is that more and more of the items seem to cap out at a size 12 opposed to 14 or 16...I noticed this with the special occasion dresses as well as the cafe capris, so I'm not sure if it is more than usual or they were standing out to me. I will be very disappointed if they are trending towards a smaller size run.shopmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592410215423970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-41741334242107917722013-01-04T07:21:20.186-05:002013-01-04T07:21:20.186-05:00My order for the boyfriend merino sweater arrived ...My order for the boyfriend merino sweater arrived today and i love it!<br />Just make sure you size down!!!!inahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621372181652727601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-62163690167389871512013-01-04T05:24:25.963-05:002013-01-04T05:24:25.963-05:00The catalog would be scandalous! lolThe catalog would be scandalous! lolcatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-77248634780395985642013-01-03T21:04:01.672-05:002013-01-03T21:04:01.672-05:00I join the communal yawn.

Scroll print is beautiful but kind of wasted on the Jules and the shorts (although I like the shorts but debating if I can pull them off, even on vacation). I don't like the hot baloons idea personally, it seems a bit artificial like they are trying too hard. The styling is meh (stripes on stripes is getting tired). However as many have said January and February are typically transitional months and we won't see the highlights of the collection until March so we should be patient and enjoy the winter purchases!Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36648148097982096512013-01-03T16:53:33.882-05:002013-01-03T16:53:33.882-05:00The Miri pumps and the scroll print items are inde...The Miri pumps and the scroll print items are indeed great. Too bad that JC chose to make a Jules dress out of the print rather than a dress that most of us can wear.<br /><br />Seems to me that the catalog should show any dress or skirt on a model WHILE SHE IS SITTING DOWN. That way we can see just how short it is. Also, JC might see how unworkable their lengths have become.cousyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321886213526230764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-31364902081547999622013-01-03T16:02:34.047-05:002013-01-03T16:02:34.047-05:00My order arrived and the Miri Mid-heel pumps are g...My order arrived and the Miri Mid-heel pumps are great (see Looking to Love thread)! Basic, but I love them. Circle dot popover is kind of cute but I'm not in love with the open dot print. I'm keeping it, though, because I like the feel and weight of the fabric. It seems like it will be versatile and I know I will wear it. Tried the leather (not metallic) Kira sandals but they were a fail on me. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89141140404806777762013-01-03T14:33:27.060-05:002013-01-03T14:33:27.060-05:00Everything is just WAY overpriced.

The hilarious part to me is the idea that anyone is in the market for full-priced summer clothes. I mean, I live in Chicago- winter is just getting started. I'm thinking sweaters, cords, etc. Not mini dresses and white cotton pants. And when are we going to stop with the fixation on mini skirts and dresses? Ugh. Enough already.

It was cold and nice to look at warm location pictures. Only item that I liked was the STRIPE COTTON-SILK POPOVER on the cover and it has already sold out. WTF. Love the Scroll Print but dress too short and No. 2 Pencil too long. And as so many of you mentioned you would not want to shorten it.

Living only 5 minutes from the closest JC store in Manhattan and a short bus or subway ride from the farthest, why should I expect to have catalogs early? or at a time when they still have relevance? but I am happy that I have lovely E-friends like Life as a Cat and FFM to make up for this irrationality.

It was "have polka dots, stripes...got too many of those, don't need that, boring, short dresses and even shorter shorts, Oh...I do like that skirt, but do I need another pencil skirt with a blue paisley print? I didn't even wear the Porcelain Paisley skirt from last year that much....." and so on. By the time he made the drinks I had looked at it and tossed it in the recycling bin. I love the layout and lovely location....just don't see anything very new to get excited about. Bummer. I'll still check out the scroll skirt. But might feel like I've already got this covered with the porcelain paisley. We'll see!straycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11313899825381484936noreply@blogger.com
