Don't see much I like, don't even know what this Mercantile thing is about but it seems like it's just more cheap crap....sad. Not much looks like J. Crew anymore. How about this....I saw some earrings I HAD to have. Can't find them anywhere on the site or anywhere on the web. So I call my local store thinking they might know, recognize them, etc. Got the (BS) response that they were sold out. Knowing this was BS because I've heard that line before, I figured there was a big chance they were yet to be launched. Sure enough, the very next morning there they were and "on sale" already! It's good to know how the Crew operates. So I bought 3 pairs of earrings and the long sleeved striped dress in black/white as a pop up return. I have the full length version in navy/white and I love it. I hope to see more J. Crew like things for the summer!StrayCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18335255658999961728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-6871524871483496802018-05-09T02:22:47.926-04:002018-05-09T02:22:47.926-04:00@silver lining thanks for the link.

I like flowy shapeless bohemian, but JCrew just doesn't do that well yet.<br /><br />My theory on the short sleeve shortage is that it is difficult to make sleeve openings that flatter many different bicep sizes. People are always complaining that an armhole is too big or small. Why is this a problem now but not throughout history though?<br /><br />Mercantile and Madewell are just confusing the Jcrew brand and complicating things.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316327189275372427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-78215918968026267902018-05-09T02:15:29.304-04:002018-05-09T02:15:29.304-04:00Same here about the ruched top.

It runs a bit large, but the fabric is substantial/sturdy. It's also clearly red on navy not red on navy that looks black. I bought it when it was first released for $19.50 plus free shipping. It looks pretty much as it does on my monitor.

I’m glad others are able to make it work because it’s gorgeous. <br /><br />The Liberty D'Anjo floral perfect shirt is finally eligible for promos so I ordered it this morning with the 30% promo plus an additional 15% off card. I also reordered the sleeveless tank in Liberty symphony floral in my usual size. I ordered it one size up before but I don’t like the way it fits. It gaps a bit under the arms and hangs shapelessly. I’m hoping the smaller size is more fitted without being too tight.<br /><br />Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222222075212077395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-141355885853197362018-05-08T10:39:12.083-04:002018-05-08T10:39:12.083-04:00I thought some folks here had problems getting PAs...I thought some folks here had problems getting PAs for sales items? That they were starting to enforce the PAs for FP items only policy? That's what's been keeping me from buying sales items without promos lately.<br /><br />I stopped by Brookfield for a return last night. A few items that aren't in the online rollout: the pink medallion print midi skirt (elastic back, pockets, lined) and a summer dress in the same print (buttons down the front, straps), black/white floral silk jacket (has lapels like a blazer, but tie-front closure - no buttoms), a beautiful blue foulard-type print sheath dress for work, more tees (New York tee - white with small names of NY streets in raised lettering all over). The Mercantile dresses were promptly displayed, as were the white Point Sur summer dress. I was not impressed or interested in anything. I liked how the pink medallion skirt/dress photographed online, but in person the print doesn't read "medallion" as much as "loud neon" - I think the print reads better far away or on a smaller scale (a shirt rather than a midi skirt). It is however, cotton. Didn't love the plastic buttons on the front of the dress. Overall just very boring. I am disappointed that the prints are all on Mercantile stuff (the fabric did not feel nice) and not mainline JC. eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.com
