Merino Charley in Brilliant Blue, nice color not as bright (which is good) as I had thought. Really cute and I did not expect to like it was Thorn and Crystal necklace in Deep Violet, this is the tiny thorns so very dainty and pretty nice for Factory jewelry, also it was only $10 so all items were keepers.JRSConiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03267439414300795711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71802893148021528352014-02-13T12:04:11.311-05:002014-02-13T12:04:11.311-05:00Thanks Suzy.

Since I'm tall I was considering the tall schoolboy in black but I noticed that the body length of the regular black Rylan is actually longer than the tall schoolboy. The sleeves, on the other hand, are a bit shorter so I'm not so sure. I have the grey schoolboy but I like the look of the Rylan. sthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13680983942596949851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-18687645335056326742014-02-13T08:32:35.258-05:002014-02-13T08:32:35.258-05:00Hi Eileen.

The back pockets are rectangular flaps, which worries me because they don't always lay right after they're washed, but at the sale price I'm taking my chances. The Edinburgh Stone color is more of a blush than a tan. TTS, same size I'm wearing in other J. Crew bottoms.<br /><br />Factory Printed Stretch Chino Short. These are 5" inseam, hooray. 97% cotton, 3% spandex, machine wash, tumble dry low. The zipper is on the left side and there are 3 beltloops which are just enough. TTS, I got the same size I'd get in the cotton chino shorts. The blue is a bit more faded than what I expected from the web site picture, but I like it better in person.<br /><br />catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-37443863571338665282014-02-12T12:22:33.363-05:002014-02-12T12:22:33.363-05:00Here's my code: LPJRCT88PHere's my code: LPJRCT88Pkamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013275558736625852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-89485473979719415902014-02-12T12:10:41.373-05:002014-02-12T12:10:41.373-05:00Elizabeth Kennedy - I wouldn't put leather pix...Elizabeth Kennedy - I wouldn't put leather pixies in a washer that has the spindle thing down the middle.

I wash it in the front load machine, on delicate, and lay flat or hang to dry. This only pertains to unlined garments, like tops and pants. I don't think I'd try a lined leather jacket. I have had zero problems. I'm not paying huge amounts for leather cleaning ever again. <br /><br />I am LOL, Gigi! You are so right, cows get wet too!

It isn't a front loading machine. Could you still put the pixie pants in? My dry cleaner said it would be $35 to clean them, it would take two weeks, AND they'd have to send them out to be cleaned.

The side slit issue turned out to be less a problem than I feared. Still wore a cami underneath. <br /><br />Styling-wise, it feels fresh but for that reason poses a challenge. It's very clean, not very feminine and I don't love it with Minnies, at least not for my curvier size 8 shape. I'd like to try it over one of the printed, cropped Collection trousers, either with loafers or a sexy strappy heel, OR take the sporty route that J Crew is definitely pushing, with a cropped solid pant (Pixie?) and some of those colorful New Balances. <br /><br />Today I tried the Flower Sleeve Sweater. Was too beige for my coloring but would probably look great on non-blondes. It was stiffer and heavier than I'd hoped. Wish they could do this in merino. In cotton, it's less sophisticated, more casual, and I think the way it's styled on the model (with classic blue jeans) is the way to wear it. I just won't be wearing it ;-)babayaganychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789430214493795044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-90122207077188392162014-02-11T22:10:19.375-05:002014-02-11T22:10:19.375-05:00Gigi, I'd love to have your code, if it isn...Gigi, I'd love to have your code, if it isn't already taken.
