Taylor, and the like.)If you have recently encountered items that are similar to J.Crew, maybe you might be willing to share that information with us in this post.
Please feel free to share your story on almost any topic— including experiences with certain merchandise pieces, promotions/ offers, in-store visits, transactions with store associates, etc.
I received my Gap Crop Kick jeans in dark indigo and just love them! The fit was TTS (I wear a 12/31 in Gap jeans), and at 5'9" the flare hit me at a good spot. I love how they look with both heels/wedges and flats, unlike my skinny ankle jeans which I personally only like with flats. I haven't tried on any Billies so can't make a direct comparison. With promo, the dark indigo crop kicks came to $16!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Gap jeans. Almost all of my denim collection is Gap Real Straights, with a few BR straight jeans thrown in. I'll try the crop kick jeans next time I'm in the store. Wish I was 5'9 - I may not be tall enough to pull off that look.
DeleteJust received Boden's Sept catalogue -- so much lovely tweed! Boden rarely fits me (their fit models are curvier than me), but I do like how they provide garment-specific measurements so I can see if there's any hope something might work for me.
ReplyDeleteBoden is awesome with their size guides... And I love how colorful their clothes are... But they don't fit me either. I've tried a number of things but I'm too ruler-esque. :/

ReplyDeleteOlivia Palermo (girl crush!) just partnered with BR. I lover her style and I also found a lot to like with BR this season, but ALL THE POLY (!!!!) :( :( :(
ReplyDeleteBR's love of poly has gone from medium to all-encompassing! That's all they ever seem to use these days. Sometimes when I'm in there, I feel compelled to buy an item just because it's made out of cotton. Like spotting a unicorn in there!
DeleteUnicorn - exactly! I think I may look a bit crazy walking around BR feeling up all of the clothes, poly testing. Was so excited to see the return of the 100% merino sweaters that I bought a bunch with the 50% friends & family a few weeks ago. Loft is the same way now; almost everything I click on is "poly". Ugh.
DeleteI mentioned Zady last week, and now, they've upped their sale -- 50% off ALL stock. It's billed as an "end of season sale", and needless to say, stock is moving fast. Use code FALLCLEARANCE.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I ordered a few things. Hope I got the sizing right...I've never shopped with them before.
DeleteAwesome, Wendy! I hope the sizing works out. Out of curiosity, what did you order?
ReplyDeleteI ordered the .01 sweater in pale gray, the vneck tee in slate, lip gloss, lotion, and a black duffle. Excited to check it out-it's a cool site. They carry shoes by Nisolo (love them-local place), and one of my favorite jewelry designers (OdetteNY).
DeleteSounds like a great haul! I wanted to get the .01 in Natural, but it sold out. Let me know how you like it! I've also been curious to try Nisolo. Thanks for sharing :)
