I would have a hard time zipping it back together by myself, so I will need to take care to leave it partially zipped before putting it on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-36272277843054575152013-10-01T20:19:14.695-04:002013-10-01T20:19:14.695-04:00Has anyone tried on the schoolboy blazer in Hounds...Has anyone tried on the schoolboy blazer in Houndstooth tweed?Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376120465309164843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-62000810908045355702013-10-01T19:09:35.630-04:002013-10-01T19:09:35.630-04:00Some new arrival blouses here and some sweaters he...Some new arrival blouses <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2013/09/j-crew-review-fall-rolls-in-with-some.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and some sweaters <a href="http://shoperarach.blogspot.com/2013/09/j-crew-review-some-new-fall-arrivals.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>OperaRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580291817668441900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-31978588471001127382013-10-01T19:00:17.740-04:002013-10-01T19:00:17.740-04:00A few sweater reviews here.A few sweater reviews <a href="http://ina-wonderland.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Ina Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921238487710374164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-71910243101242622912013-10-01T18:18:15.479-04:002013-10-01T18:18:15.479-04:00Wool racing-stripe track pant (06068) - these are ...Wool racing-stripe track pant (06068) - these are strange with a capital S. The wool is soft and feels like felt (One spill would probably ruin them - although the tag says "dry clean" and not "dry clean only", could they be hand washed, maybe?). Some of you may find it itchy, but I didn't so much. The calves are tight but the waist is generous and has a drawstring - I tried a 6 but could probably do a 4. They have a faux fly (why, I have no clue) and the racing stripe is like one pane of grosgrain ribbon. I think they are way overpriced but if they make it down to the $40 range I will probably grab a pair because I really kind of liked them. Like I said, strange! silver_lininghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145331294538875917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-44598050639890861202013-10-01T18:00:00.274-04:002013-10-01T18:00:00.274-04:00One more request.

The material is perhaps the finest silk I have ever observed in a J.Crew or Madewell item. I cannot convey how soft and luxurious it is! Perhaps that is why I was especially disappointed when I tried the top on. The fit is terrible. The small should have been perfection, and it was - from the chest down. The chest was oddly tight, and there was extra material at the armholes, causing major gape-age. I have never had such a problem. A medium was just as tight in the chest, with ever bigger armhole flapping. I am not sure who this will fit, but I hope it does fit someone, because it is smashing. <br /><br />Skinny skinny cords - I tried and loved these in a size down from my usual size. I ended up with a 28. I am a 29 in JC toothpicks. They are stretchy and soft, the colors are very rich, and they don't stretch out during the day. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/SHIRTSTOPS/tankscamis/PRDOVR~04969/04969.jsp" rel="nofollow">Silk swing cami</a> - just lovely. Don't bother if you are D or larger. Even a large C. Runs small in the bust, but extremely flattering. I can make a small work with a 34D bust but it just barely works! Very nice silk.<br /><br />Has anyone tried the Winston boot? I am really interested in those in the rich plum color.

During last week's promo I also ordered the collection bow pumps in ratti regatta print. These were final sale, but at 65% off the regular price I took a chance and ordered the one size that popped back up - my regular size 7. The shoes fit like a glove, and are simply gorgeous. The lining and sole are leather, as one would expect with a "collection" shoe. (What's sad to me is that it hasn't been that long ago that all jcrew shoes were lined in leather. I really dislike the manmade lining they use in the "regular" line nowadays.) The ratti regatta print is really pretty up close; from afar the little sail boats aren't easily recognizable, which is actually a plus as it won't be necessary to limit these pumps to a nautical style. I expect that the fun print will liven up some of my solid color outfits. The shoe box felt slightly narrow to me at first, but I can tell that the shoes will give a little in time. Given the heel height of 3 1/2 inches , the shoes are surprisingly comfortable. If there's one thing I would change it's the sole - it is very thin so forget walking outside. These puppies were apparently made for carpet-lined rooms. A thicker sole or a hidden platform could help that. Even so, I am happy with my purchase and would recommend these to anyone who is on the fence about them.Ivankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334229934210336288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-87511098121456504052013-10-01T13:30:06.323-04:002013-10-01T13:30:06.323-04:00Diamond Plaid Scarf - I originally ordered this in...Diamond Plaid Scarf - I originally ordered this in the cabernet/cobalt colorway because I love cobalt blue. It did not disappoint. The colors are rich and saturated, more so than they appear on my monitor. It has a lovely, soft feel and looks well made. I love it so much that I got the black/ivory as well. I think it will be a cozy and warm accessory.<br /><br />French Knot Tippi - I see it is sold out on-line, but just in case it comes back, I love this sweater. It is thicker than the solid color Tippis but just as soft, if not more so. I got the ivory and, while I can see the shadow of the dark dots a bit, this does not detract from the overall look. I got several compliments when I wore it.maryebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116049169463885844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-11477383762648260902013-10-01T12:31:43.821-04:002013-10-01T12:31:43.821-04:00I reviewed the French Knot Tippi and Jeweled Shoul...I reviewed the French Knot Tippi and Jeweled Shoulder Sweater (few purchases from the last 25% off promo) on my blog <a href="http://www.fablifeforever.com/2013/09/26/j-crew-french-knot-tippi-jeweled-shoulder-sweater/" rel="nofollow">here</a><br /><br />I also recently purchased the Factory straight and narrow cords in the Cabernet colorway - I took my matchstick denim size in these and while I'm more of a jeans than cords person - I think I'll be keeping them. They're a nice deep red (not really purple) and will go well with camel, navy, grey, ivory...they have a straight leg similar to the matchsticks, not skinny leg at all. I might have been able to size up for a little extra room but I was worried about them looking sloppy. They're currently $54.50 online plus the various coupons that are floating around. thanks!shopmurphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592410215423970143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-30029334320668543682013-10-01T12:23:36.171-04:002013-10-01T12:23:36.171-04:00In the last sale/free shipping on all orders frenz...In the last sale/free shipping on all orders frenzy, I got the heathered fleece zip up hoodie (cotton with a teeny bit of wool). I remember someone asked about it way back when, so I hope she sees this and that it helps. Here goes: it's a nice enough hoodie. The grey is more grey and less grey-blue than it appeared on my monitor but it still a blueish-greenish grey, darker than what I think of as basic sweatshirt grey. The fabric is actually pretty nice. Lighter weight but not lightweight. It's got no poly at all, which should mean that it doesn't pill. I can't really discern the presence of wool. The fit is not unlike the old Sherpa hoodie but looser because there's no sherpa lining. (I think they are the same size but the Sherpa fits more snuggly thanks to the fleecey inside.) The seams are ok, though I've got my eye on one already. The zipper totally blows. It's rough to the touch (I could cut myself on it so chapped or delicate hands beware!) and sounds like it will break. At this price (79 bucks in Canada, that's after 30% off) it shouldn't. I'm going to chance the zipper because I want a non poly midweight hoodie. But still, JCrew, don't scrimp on zippers! My Sherpa of five years is still going strong. Go back to *that* zipper, ok?! <br /><br />HTH!anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798208058386515274noreply@blogger.com
