This is the weekly "J.Crew Reviews {straight from the JCAs}" post, to help each other share our reviews.So if you have recently purchased, or stopped by a J.Crew store to try on an item (or two) from J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Also, this request is not just limited to clothes. Please feel free to discuss bags, shoes, jewelry, accessories, etc.
In particular, if you could mention a few of the noteworthy details like fit, size, fabric, and the like— that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance! :)
Purchased a great new dress in-store today (Jules Dress in Wildcat, 61368). It's a fluid slight a-line shift in a gorgeous cheetah print. The rayon fabric is midweight and clean. The "savannah" print is beige (with yellowy undertone) with bigger black and smaller brown spots. There are two on-seam pockets at the front of the dress and a keyhole closure at the back of neck. The look, the fit, and the comfort level are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe cut is roomy, so sizing down may be best for some. At 5'2", I found the hem to fall about 1-1/2 inches above the knees.
This is one of those effortlessly chic pieces so rarely seen at J.Crew these days. The online pictures do not capture the beauty of the dress. I hope everyone interested gets to see this one IRL.
BTW, there is also a long sleeve blouse in the same fabric/print.
Review and IRL pics of the Herringbone Hacking in Heather Dark Grape (say that fast 3 times)on my
ReplyDeleteBLOG. Think the "secret" sale may still be on in the B&M. Good deal if they'll let you stack the promo on top of the sale price.
Can anyone comment on the fit of the vintage cotton ballet tee? I really like the colours and (eeps) slightly slouchy fit. But is it J Crew slouchy (as in XXS = L) or more true to size?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
sub :)
ReplyDeleteJust got the Edie purse in red. What would be the best way to make sure it doesn't stain? I heard that Apple Leather care spray (waterproofing/stain repelling spray) is good for purses, has anyone tried it or something similar on J.Crew bags before?
ReplyDeleteSome madewell reviews! Just received (part) of my 25% off order and thank goodness I love everything because it was all final sale!
ReplyDeleteQuilted timelapse trouser: These are gorgeous trousers, with a nice substantial weight and they are lined! They are 60% wool and the fabric is very soft. They will keep me so warm. The colour is a slightly darker grey than pictured, more like charcoal with white flecks. I usually wear 4 in J Crew bottoms that are looser (eg. shorts) and a 6 in tighter pants. I went with a 6 in these, and I definitely could have gone with a 4 as well, but since it's a high paperbag waist I can just cinch it a bit more with a belt and they don't look big, just relaxed. They are on sale for a whopping $39.99 with free shipping, but they are almost sold out. Amazing price! The plain black ones look nice as well and are on sale for $69.99.
Smokeshadow sweatshirt tunic: This one is currently sold out but has been popping back a lot. It was 49.99, a great deal for a thicker, fuzzy (on the inside, unlike so many sweatshirts these days), long sleeve dress. I got a medium (my usual size in tops) and the dress is nice and roomy but is slightly cinched at the bottom hem so it doesn't look sloppy. I am 5'4" and the length easily covers my seat with a couple inches to spare. Probably too short for my taste to wear it without tights or something underneath, but that's fine since it is very warm so I can't imagine wanting to wear it when I can wear bare legs anyway!
HTH! Will update later with the rest.
I posted a review of the Stadium-cloth Elements coat on my blog. Totally worth the promo price!

ReplyDeleteEdith A. Miller henley (item 69662): I purchased this with my rewards gift card, drawn in by the interesting story behind the American-made shirt. It was a big disappointment. The fabric is not very thick. The sleeves were too short. I take an XS/ 2 in J Crew tops. I ordered the Small in this shirt but it was too tight and short. Lord knows what would have happened if I put it in the dryer. I returned it and bought one of the vintage waffle henleys, which is thicker, fits better, and is half the price.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if anyone has purchased the cafe capri in Jewel Jacquard. I have a pair on the way and would love to see a review from a fellow JCA!
ReplyDeleteTIA:)
Any reviews on the metro coat? I tried it on fast over the weekend and now don't know if I should get it or wait it out for a better promo. For what its worth I really liked the heather majestic purple color even though it is blue.
ReplyDeleteTalia blouse (or what the JC site is now calling the "Scoopneck blouse") in wreath. Its a gorgeous color! Cut is flattering and fits TTS. The silk is not as nice as the Elodie but nicer than the Lucinda.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone comment on the fit of the Cafe Trousers in wool herringbone? Thanks!
Boatneck blouse -> Talia top -> Scoopneck blouse... LOL
ReplyDeleteAmy, thanks for the review on the Edith Miller henley. It annoys me that JC collabs with companies that are made in the USA, but then the collab items themselves are "Import" (at made in USA prices!).
Stella - I purchased those and was really obsessed with them while waiting on the preorder list. However, they were underwhelming on me.
ReplyDeleteThey are not a jacquard textured pant but rather a printed silk. The pants are very well made though and nicely lined. I hope you love them though!
Appreciated all the prior reviews of the Factory Black Watch pants, so helpful to know they are lined and they fit well.
ReplyDeleteMy question, esp for those JCAs who have or reviewed them ... what are you going to wear them with, and how are you going to style them so they don't look too traditional and frumpster?
I reviewed the long sleeve sequin tee on my blog this past Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI bought the dark khaki and I really love this shirt. I took my regular size XS and it is not boxy at all, it drapes beautifully and is very comfortable.
No2 pencil skirt in bright blue.
ReplyDeleteOK, they are calling it bright for a reason. The shade is an electric blue bordering on turquoise.
Very pretty but kind of difficult to pair with anything but neutrals. Bu, on the other hand, if you are craving strong color, blue is somehow less flashy than say orange or purple.
It look beautiful with bellflower liberty shirt from last year.
For some reason this skirt felt tighter in the hips than my other pencils and I have no hips to speak of. I measured it against other colors and it looks absolutely the same but it feels smaller.
Anybody else had the same experience?
Colorblock perfect t-shirt in black/natural.
This is, unexpectedly, one of my favorite purchases. Fits TTS. I am wearing it today with black pencil skirt and I got several compliments already. I tried it with hutton chinos and black capris and it was a success as well.
But I think it will also work with rose print fair skirt. Natural looks more white or champagne on my screen but irl it is more tan/beige. I like it better this way but if you are expecting more of black and white combo you may be disappointed.
Waffle crew necks and henleys.
Joining the LOVE wagon. They are soft, plush and warm, I did not want to take it off. I sized up to medium. The sleeves are relatively short, perfect for me, since I have relatively short arms but may be too short for some taller JCAs.
I bought black and white crew neck and navy henley but I am tempted to pick up champagne and gray stripe.
Cafe trouser in maraschino cherry.
They are gorgeous and the fit is great. I just don't know if I would dare to wear them and if they will still look good after the holiday season.
How would you wear them for spring?
Oh, and i saw the Jules dress in store and the print is very pretty. It would be too short on me but if I was shorter/younger I would be all over it. too bad it is not silk as the price is steep for man made fiber.
ReplyDeleteNext rollout alert:
Very pretty, a-line pleated silk taffeta skirt in TDF print. Red/crimson roses on deep chocolate brown background with some other colors, I think green and black. Knee length. This woudl be stunning for the Holidays.
Crushing on the highwaisted skinny jeans in black, don't know why. Anyone tried these on? :>
ReplyDeletehas anyone seen the Classic mini in felted wool (55782) in the stone color? is the color in the pic accurate (light gray color)?
ReplyDeleteHerringbone Hacking in Heather Dark Grape. Well, just when I decided I could live with the itchy fabric and the cheap gray felt under the collar (this is meant to be used as heavy interlining and should be between two layers of the real fabric) and the bumpy buttons, because I looovvvved the color, Himself saw me trying it on and said "I don't have a college reunion this year, what's that for? Oh, I get it, you're joining a band." So back it goes. I wear purple tees to his reunions but that's the extent of my commitment.
ReplyDeleteStill undecided about keeping the Double Serge Hacking Jacket in Cool Pine, again loving the color but finding the fabric heavy and inflexible. And I may be in a distinct minority but if I keep it I'll buy different buttons. Yes, the buttons it came with are enamel but thin!
Gimlet Skirt. Thin synthetic brown fabric dotted with bits of flocking and orange shreds of fabric. Looks nice from a distance. For standing, not sitting. The pleats in front are fine, but as some other JCAs have commented, there's some odd fullness at each side which widens the hips. Not a keeper.
InboxImpulse: Thank you for your feedback. My pair are scheduled to arrive this Thursday and I, too, have been obsessed with them. It has been very difficult for me to find my size, so I hope they're worth it!
ReplyDeleteDid you end up keeping yours?
I ordered a whole bunch of swimwear pieces because I am going on vacation to Aruba at the end of the month. I am so glad I waited for final sale to be over before pulling the trigger. The styles are cute but the fit is TERRIBLE. I am a size 12/14, 36D. I ordered numerous pieces in sizes L or XL, D-cup and regular, hoping to get the right fit. The L size bottoms fit, but even the L size tops were falling off my chest. This was the regular size ones too, not just the D-cup. I would not recommend buying the D-cup swimwear unless you are at least a DD.
ReplyDeleteI am going to try some of the numerical sized swimwear to see if I have any better luck. I think I would buy a 12 rather than 14 since the stuff is running so large, but do I need to size down to a 10?
ajc: I have had the same experience with the sizing of the No. 2 Pencils. My Jazzy Purple one from this year is noticeably tighter through the hips than the rest of the colours I've tried. Of course by the time I realized that it was sold out in the size up, so I'm just dealing with it. Has anyone ever tried having one of J. Crew's wool pencils let out by a tailor? Is there any extra fabric to speak of?
ReplyDeleteajc thanks for the reviews!
ReplyDeleteI am concerned about the sizing up on the thermals. I ordered some this morning in my normal xs, do you think I would need a size small instead?
I could always order the small as well then return the xs, I definitely don't want them creeping up on me when the point is to be warm in them!
TIA for any advice.
Oh and I love those maraschino trousers: they would be great with a chambray shirt tucked in come springtime. Ema has them and she loves them.
Caitlin, thanks, good to know it is not just in my head. I wonder if it is an individual item or the color. I have re-ordered the skirt to get the promo price, so we shall see. I think the size up would be too big in the waist. I am afraid there is no extra fabric in the hips to let out. They do stretch as you wear them, from my experience. I am OK with a little tighter fit as my other skirts are a bit loose but not enough to size down, but I was surprised since the fit was always consistent, I am wearing 2008 black pencil and it fits the same (OK, a little nicer, due to the true waistband)as my vibrant flame/veridian green.
ReplyDeleteDani, I think you will be OK with xs, you are so tiny on top and have narrow shoulders. I could wear a small but medium just felt more comfy. It is a little wider in the shouders than ideal. My only concern would be the sleeves, they seem just right in my medium and I don't have long arms. If you are placing another order I would add the small, just in case.
Have anyone washed the waffles yet? Do they shrink?
Metallic Boucle Skirt here.
ReplyDeleteajc: I'm glad you told me that, I was hoping it would be similar to the peri shade of blue. I can't afford it anyway just now, so now I feel less crazed about it!
ReplyDeleteajc, the waffles do shrink slightly. I ended up sizing up on the last promo and I'm glad I did.
ReplyDeletewellfedfred: Oh don't you love those little put downs from "the others"? Mine can destroy an outfit for me in two seconds. I've had, too Star Trek, marching band and a bit homeless looking recently.
ReplyDeletepathos: I've had the high-waisted black skinnies for about 2 months now and I love them. I wear them constantly, as my office allows for somewhat casual clothes, but not jeans, so these are a go-to pant for me. I was just bummed that they didn't carry a Short size; I had to get them hemmed. They run about the same as the Toothpicks; I am a 29 in both Toothpicks and the high-waisted skinnies. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThe blackwatch no. 2 pencil should be on my doorstep tomorrow. Haven't heard much about this on here. There was only a size larger than I normally wear but I have a feeling it won't be overly roomy.
ReplyDeleteTabitha, yes, I had a cool color combo in my mind, gray cashmere sweater/tights/boots and silver tone accesories but it will not work. It is a very pretty shade but I feel over-saturated at this point.
ReplyDelete@WFF and Bourbon&Pearls, yes men seem to have a gift when it comes to language and their loved ones attire. Mine describes my usual look as "sexy middle school librarian". The first time he used the phrase, I told him those words should not be used together and gave another misfitting example, "odorless NYC cab". My verification word is boters: "Because the weather is so warm today, many boters will be out raking leaves rather than going to the polls."
ReplyDeleteJCrewJD, I have reviewed the blackwatch plaid pencil skirt on my blog here if interested.
ReplyDeleteI have a review with IRL photos of the No.2 pencil skirt in the retail-only bright lilac colorway on my blog here. I've included photos with color comparison to similar shades of the same pencil skirt.
ReplyDeleteI've also included a sneak peek shoe that will be released in December.
Thanks Rose! I just saw your post on the Madewell Betty Tea Dress, too. I am sooo tempted by it but it will be short on me. I don't mind but it does make the dress less versatile. Glad to hear the blackwatch is tighter fitting. It is my consolation prize after finding the capris in the same material to be unlined and therefore unbearable, and the factory pants way too short.
ReplyDeleteGlad to help, JCrewJD. Let us know how it fits!
ReplyDeleteajc, it's funny you mention the bright blue pencil fitting small. I have the original from 2008 and that year the blue was fitting almost a size larger, I had to get mine taken in. I guess they just can't get the blue sizing right.
ReplyDeleteI wear mine with gray quite often and I also wear it with the papaya Maya sweater. Soft or pastel orange looks lovely with bright blue. It's always gray or tonal blue tights with shoes predominantly gray or navy on the bottom though. I haven't been brave enough to pair with any bright colored tights.
Sorry, I meant Bright Violet No.2 pencil skirt, not Bright Lilac. Thanks Rose!
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how awesome the 25% off sale is, I wanted to get a few reviews up on my blog. Unfortunately one of these is sold out, but you know the Crew and popbacks. :)

Hope that helps someone out there...
I reviewed the GORGEOUS Suzette Blouse in nightfall floral with IRL pictures here:
ReplyDeletehttp://alldressedupnoplace2go.blogspot.com/2011/11/jcrew-review-suzette-blouse-in.html
The colorway is beautiful, and the blouse is extremely flattering! I highly recommend it!
Ruffles- I have the blackwatch trousers also. Just accidentally I found they look good with dk purple- maybe suede hsoes in that color? Also, the colorblcok sweater in navy/dk purple- it's fun and the colors work well. Also, they look good with a denim shirt and black cardigan. Ivory, too, is a no-brainer. I have the pewter Juliet heel from several years ago and they lookd good peeking beneath the hem of the pants. Hope this helps...
ReplyDeleteTook a look through past reviews and couldn't find anything about how the Boy Shirt in Stripe Silk Crepe de Chine fits. Can anyone tell me if this runs large or fits tts? I've been admiring it for a long time and really want to get one. TIA
ReplyDeleteThe striped boyshirt fits tts in my opinion, but it is a very straight, loose fit.
ReplyDeleteI am 125, 5'4" and wear a 32A and took my usual size 4. The size 2 gaped in the bust and looked overall skimpy.
I have this in both cider and navy and love it.
MJ, great suggestions. I never would have thought of purple but it looks chic and interesting. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteAttack of the spikey shoulder pads continues!!!
ReplyDeleteI love my encore trench. I wear it daily. It was love at first sight. But today we had our first disagreement. I was walking down the street and I felt an itch in my shoulder. No I wasn't wearing wool, silk in fact. There it was again. Sure enough I take off my Encore, and there in the shoulder area are the small little plastic spikes we have heard about before, there last appearance was in the Majesty peacoat, but now they are spotted in the Encore. My love for my coat will continue, I will have the shoulder pads replaced by my tailor at a cost of I'm sure at least 30 dollars.
JCrew, the design and fit of the Encore is divine, why not go 100% of the way and put in normal shoulder pads?
ruffles: I agree that the Blackwatch trousers look good with purple. Also found that out accidentally when I tried them on here with a purple t-neck. Wouldn't have ever thought of that.
ReplyDeleteI also think ivory or maybe even a burgandy color would be pretty. I think wearing them with sleek heels will be a crucial way to take them out of frump territory.
Fitting room reviews here and here. Items included City cropped sweater, thermal henley, Blythe blouse in purple, lace-front tee, Jester sweater, Colorblock stripe tee, dream dolman sweater, among other things.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone give updated feedback about cashmere sweaters? Is there any improvement in quality the past year or two?
ReplyDeleteI got a Talbots cashmere cardigan at 50% off but am so disappointed. It is really scratchy and is not soft at all like cashmere is supposed to be. I was thinking of trying the J.Crew again but am wary of pilling.
For anyone who doesn't already have one, the maritime dress (37229, $88) is a great one to get on this promotion -- I have never seen it go on sale and it's on its third iteration -- first came out in early 2011, I think, in sail blue stripes, then navy blue stripes, then most recently in black stripes. I have all three. This is the perfect non-work dress, so comfortable and yet still cute. I'd say it runs just a tad large -- I am an XS / S in J. Crew tees, generally edging towards S b/c I have broad shoulders but I definitely take an XS in this dress.
ReplyDeleteQuestion for all the JCA's who love their No.2 pencils... Do you all wear them with tights in the winter months? I have quite a few and wear them with tights only b/c it is too cold for me to go without. However I notice online they are always styled with bare legs. Anyone else braving the chilly temps with bare legs? Just curious =)
ReplyDeleteCrewGurl, I go tights-less with my double serge pencils in the winter.. but when I do, I'm usually wearing knee socks hidden under boots instead, haha. Have you tried going that route? I love boots and wear them with my pencil skirts constantly. I can't do pumps and bare legs when it is 20 degrees out though!
ReplyDeleteCrewGurl: I try to go as long as I can without tights, but it's impossible in Canada so the vast majority of the time my No. 2's are worn with tights. You're not the only one!
ReplyDeleteI agree with audreys that the martime dress is a great buy. I get compliments every time I wear it, plus it's super comfy.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE the maraschino cherry cafe trousers! I can see wearing these now through early spring. The color is great - even my friend who wears black every. single. day. loved them (although she'd never wear them, of course :D).
I can also highly recommend the flare jeans. They're my new favorite and I plan to order the black rinse with this promo.
ha- I ONLY wear my serge pencil skirts with tights- it's the only way to get that sleek look without, uh, VPL!
ReplyDeleteCrewGurl: I wear my double serge pencil skirts with bare legs AND tights, depending on the weather...I think they look equally good with both.
ReplyDeleteI tried to use Ebates today, but it didn't register my purchase. Are there any certain browser settings that are necessary for it to work?
ReplyDeleteOT (but not by much) - Roxy has a very interesting post that discusses recent quality and styling issues at Anthropologie, and the comments sound like JCAs in their parallel lives!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone purchased a pair of the Mona pumps? Just wondering if they run true to size or if I should order a size up like I did for the wedges. Dying to have a pair of the suede in retro lemon :)
ReplyDeleteI tried Mona pump in store and I'm an 8.5/9 and had I purchased I would have bought size 9
ReplyDeleteMore Madewell!
ReplyDeleteThe Silk Speakeasy Dress is to die for. I got it in indigo (they also have it in 'brilliant purple' that is too bright for me but I suspect not for some of you). The colour is a beautiful deep blue. It fits true to size, the waist is elastic but sized so it doesn't have to stretch I think, and the bust is generous, which attracted me to it in the first place. The silk is very soft, thick and not shiny, which I like. I really do think I can dress this up or down! Probably more up though, as I needed a dress for some slightly dressier occasions coming up. I also got the navy Dark-as-night opaque tights, which I think will go beautifully with it.
This is a great piece to get on the free shipping promo (only $59.99!).
HTH some MAs out there ;)
@ peony: I'm not sure about the settings, but it sometimes takes a while for the purchase to register to your account. I find that J Crew takes longer than the other Ebate stores to register. One time I had to email Ebates support with the J Crew order # and info and they manually added it on for me, though they noted that it could take up to 30 days for the purchase to register.
ReplyDelete@Wellfedfred
ReplyDeleteI was really tempted to purchase the hacking jacket as well. My sweet and sensitive husband saw me try it on and said with an eww expression, 'you look so masculine!' Nevermind...
@Allegra808 I too purchased the Jules dress in Wildcat in-store today. I was underwhelmed when I saw this dress online, but fell in love when I saw it in real life. I was also able to talk the SA into granting me the 25% off online promo in addition to my student discount, so it was a great deal!
ReplyDelete@stella and InboxImpulse I really wanted to love these pants, but after trying two different sizes, I've accepted that they're just not for me. The print was great but the fit was very unflattering on me. I'm planning to return mine - let me know if anyone is interested in either a 0 or 00 pair of jewel jacquard capris!
sub :)
ReplyDeleteCrewGurl - You should follow Shop With M who wears pencil skirts quite a bit. She styles them very well with boots and I'm pretty sure she lives in freezing temps.
ReplyDeleteSubscribing. :)
ReplyDelete@peony, that is right. It takes awhile for the purchase to show up on your ebates accounts. For like 2 wks sometimes? They also are watching to see what gets returned, against which they will adjust the payback amt. HTH!
ReplyDeleteWhat are these jeans?
ReplyDeleteThe ones here that the model is wearing. ? I love them :>
@ SE Mom: In my experience, the Cashmere Tees, Turtlenecks, Cables, and regular-weight Cardigans are still great quality and pill only slightly under the arms after multiple wears. Super soft, too. The Featherweight cashmere pieces pill a lot worse...I probably won't buy any more of them.
ReplyDelete@ CrewGurl: I style my Pencils the same as JCrew JD - with tights, or with boots + bare legs. I've never worn them with bare legs + pumps, but I've never lived in a climate that was warm enough to do that before now, either, so I might try it.
@Gigi -- Thanks! ;) You're right, I'm in midwest snowy weather and wear my pencils with tights and boots all the time.
ReplyDeleteI just reviewed the Crewcuts Harvest Cashmere Popover in the size 14 (for me) here. Cute and cozy!
@Lainey and @pathos, thank you for your feedback about ebates. That helps a lot!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I feel ridiculous to be this excited about a dress, you guys! I just got the Winsome dress in the mail today and it is GORGEOUS!!! I saw it on ShopwM and a few others and loved it and wouldn't have even thought of trying it myself until I saw how great it looked. Wow, I'm completely in love. I got it in a sz. 10 and it fits absolutely perfect. the only thing is I feel as though the waist hits a smidge high on me. I have it coming to me in a 12 as well, but I have a feeling it will be too big on me even if the waist hits lower. Seriously, everything about this dress is great. 100% wool that feels like a luxurious silk. I already mixed it w/boots and sweaters and it can be dressed down or up. If you can grab this, I say do it.
ReplyDeleteSo, I got my blackwatch plaid no. 2 pencil and my bright blue double serge no. 2 pencil today. The plaid is size 8 and the double serge is size 6... but held up to each other, the 6 is noticeably wider. Had I purchased my normal size in the plaid, no way I'd be able to zip it!
ReplyDeleteA few reviews from J. Crew's previous 25% off sale:
ReplyDeleteCashmere Rugby Stripe Sweater
Petite Cafe Capri in Houndstooth Wool
Pintuck Lace Shell
Vintage Thermal Tee in Stripe
Cafe Capri in Wool
Faded Chambre Popover
I bought the Marceau purse in Faded Woodland as a birthday present for myself (got it during the last 25% off/Free Shipping on $150 or more promo). And I LOVE it. The green is just about exactly the same color as it is online. The leather is sooo soft and smooth, although it does seem to scratch a little easily sometimes, as some other commenters have noted about other J Crew bags. It DID come with one of those "color may rub off" labels, which was disappointing, but I haven't noticed that happen at all, even after it got wet in that freak October ice storm we had. The description notes that it holds "everything you need and nothing you don't"-- this is true. It holds my wallet, phone, coin purse, a bottle of pills, a book (usually I carry my nook everywhere) and small odds & ends like pens & metrocard and such. And that's about it. I wear it like a cross-body most of the time and the strap is comfortable. The bag itself is pretty lightweight, which was a relief.
ReplyDeleteIn sum, it works fabulously for me and I just love it. I could see the smaller size and potential dye transfer being a problem for someone else, though. (But I love it!)
The Telegraph pencil skirt in super 120s is on its way to me... SO excited about this. I hope I'll be able to ditch my regular super 120s skirt that is not really as long as it needs to be. I will review it when it arrives; I don't recall any other reviews of it thus far.
ReplyDeleteOMG, everyone here is as crazy as I am about JCrew! And I mean it in a good way crazy, just really liking it! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteLadies, I am new to this forum -
first - thank you, owner of this web space for letting us mingle and share here :),
second - a quick Q about the Maritime dress - does it run true to size, is it heavy?
Thank you in advance and have a wonderful day! GM
Anyone have any idea where I might find last years sold out women's black watch plaid jacket, the one with the gold buttons ? ideally size 8
ReplyDelete
