Still thinking about the relaxed leopard topcoat, Item BA545. Sigh. Sold out in XXS and I got got the size chart which is very oversized. I know it’s supposed to be big but I have no coats that fit like that so I’m unsure. If anyone saw it in store and can report back I’d love to hear.
Maybe I should just try.
@Suz, I would try it if it’s not FS or even 2 and get everything waived. These coats look so different on everyone. I’ve been purchasing a couple of oversized coats and like the look as long as it doesn’t look like a sack. I size down on these depending on the brand and fit. They look nice. I like them open. You can carry this with your height. I do not care for this look on anyone shorter. I’ve seen them and they just overwhelmed their figures.
DeleteLynn I tried a different oversized one in store and loved it. Of course it’s marked as final sale…
DeleteI tried XXS, XS and S and preferred the S which the associate thought was too overwhelming. I’m not sure. Maybe I will order two to decide which I prefer over layers.
I should clarify, the leopard is final sale, the other was not.
DeleteI'm venting early... My November 30th order has finally shipped, who knows when I'll get it. J. Crew's shipping seems so slow compared to other retailers.
ReplyDelete@cate, I’m not surprised but in fairness to the company I’ve seen several orders being shipped from stores. Depending on some of these stores, they are a little slow. With lack of help, in store traffic during these sales I am being patient. With shipments coming out of Lynchburg shipping has been extremely fast, purchased and shipped the same day or within one day. With other retailers I am using ShopRunner 2 day shipping.
ReplyDeleteThat would make sense, but I feel like these are not coming from a store. They are from the last new release and I did not see them in my store. I never did like it when J. Crew started shipping from stores. My orders started coming in multiple packages. I remember the good old days when your order shipped together, and if you were trying to locate something that only a store had, they would help you with that.
DeleteMy store had a few coats. Some were 50 percent off, not sure of all. They didn’t have any that I wanted to specifically try but I did try:
ReplyDeleteRelaxed topcoat in Italian brushed wool
Item BA532
In the wintermint. They also had the mushroom. Online there is also a pink.
It was lovely. A weird mix of fibers but soft and warm.
I did post a pic in the Fb group I mentioned above.
@Suz, how about IG please? Thanks
DeleteI sent it to you in a DM!
DeleteI’d love to know your thoughts. I ordered the small because I loved how ever sized it was and a friend said she thought the XS looked plenty big so I ordered that thinking I’d cancel the S. I’m so confused now.
DeleteDoes this type of material shed?
DeleteIt didn’t look like it was shedding and I was wearing a black cashmere turtleneck when I tried it on. Considering the assortment of fibers, I thought it felt pleasant, not plasticky.
DeleteDon't bother ordering the men's Cotton-cashmere T-shirt
ReplyDeleteItem AZ279. The quality is awful, the fabric is very thin and see thru. Very disappointed I thought it looked like a step up from a cotton tee shirt.
oh thank you for the review! I was thinking of ordering one as I love the dark gray as a layering piece. If it's super thin I won't bother.
DeleteYes, it is very thin I ordered the gray, very disappointed. When I held it up my husband said he could see thru it and usually doesn’t notice anything😂
DeleteI don't know if we've ever established a category of things-I'm-embarrased-to-admit-I-bought-but-like, but my recent purchase of the palmist/tarot card reader tee would apply. Maybe because I'm an old Dark Shadows fan and tarot cards were a part of one of the plots, the tee called to me. It's a like for me and fits true to size. I think they did a good job with how they placed the graphics on the tee. A big hand across the chest could be a little weird, but the blues in this one and overall design worked well for me. I would probably wear it with chinos or jeans and maybe even a skirt for casual Fridays. It feels quirky and fun.
ReplyDelete@MaryG, sounds like a great idea for a new category. If you like the tee and feel good in it that’s all that matters. It is indeed quirky, but we all need to loosen up and show our free spirits. Enjoy it! I’ve purchased items plenty of times and wondered later, was I of sound mind? I did keep some and returned the others. You’re not alone my friend.
DeleteSometimes we just find something that makes us happy and go for it. Enjoy!
DeleteBtw thanks for the idea for a prompt for the fb group.
Delete;)
@Suz Has You're welcome. Your new group makes me want to join Facebook, but I've resisted the siren song of FB lo these many years. I actually have an inactive account as Mary Gee, a faceless, friendless soul. I established it a few years ago when I was administrator for social media at work and the inept IT person told me I needed a personal account. Since no one would recognize me under that moniker I've never sent a friend request.
DeleteMary G I know people who have joined using a “nickname” such as yours in order to participate in groups for their neighborhood, local selling groups, organizations, etc.
Deleteif you ever decide to join in just request and I’ll know who you are even if you are friendless.
ReplyDeleteSCALLOPED TOP IN LIBERTY® ADELAJDA STARS
Item BD781
Size:
Color: WHITE BLUE
Fabric is very nice and soft. Print is nicer than I thought and the blue color is not muted which shows a little depth.
The ties on the sleeves aren’t adjustable and too large. There is a tie at the base of the v on the neckline and then up by the collar. Too many. Was going to be a gift but going back. Too bad it photographed well on the model but overall it’s simply overkill with the oversized ruffle at the wrists and ties.
Thank you for your feedback, that was one I was curious about. Shame.
DeleteWhere have all the classics gone? No more No 2 pencil skirt, tippi replaced by another design. Big sad.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking everywhere for black pants I took a chance and ordered the Hayden kickout crop pant In black Item AJ420. They’ve been final sale forever. I ordered the larger of my 2 sizes and they fit perfectly! I was expecting a big fail but I got them for $23 and figured it wouldn’t be too much of a loss.
ReplyDeleteThat’s so great to hear. I’m glad they worked out for you.
DeleteThanks, I was ready to be disappointed but didn’t happen 😊
DeleteI understand that stress can be an incentive for breakouts. My mouth and gums were all lesions and bumps and I was afraid to go out in public. All that helped was an anti-viral medicine taken orally. I thought it was a one-time deal; however, it has resurfaced unexpectedly and I am so let down. I am looking into Ayurvedic oils like melaleuca and lavender oil for handling the outbreaks of this virus. I am over 30, and not happy. This led me to the search for a permanent cure for the Herpes Virus which has taken a toll on my health, When i came across Herbalist Razor Traditional Herbal Medicine, After seeing some reviews and visiting his website , i placed an order for his Traditional Herbal Medicine , which i applied for 18 days , I am so Glad and delighted to be finally cured of herpes Virus 1. You too can get cured and have a better life, Contact Herbalist razor on His mail : herbalistrazorherbalhome@gmail.com , Call/Whatsapp Him via +2349065420442. God bless You
