Not 100 percent sure but I may reach out and see if they can send a replacement. I ordered them in a 0 and wanted a slouchy fit, they fit fine but the pockets stick out a little which may be due to the low rise. Otherwise I like the material and the white piping A LOT. I could totally see wearing these with a white blouse/white tee and/or white blazer in the spring/summer since the wool is lightweight.<br /><br />I got the collection Ryder pants in leather in my smaller size, 00. The 0 popped back and I ordered just in case, but the order was canceled today. I don't think the size up would work and as I understand it leather stretches and molds to your body, so although these are fitted I think they will get better with wear. I feel great in them. They're very comfortable and the leather is soft. <br /><br />Also got the lady coat with braided trim in my usual coat size, 4. I was afraid it might be too big but don't think I could size down. I love the Chanel inspired look and the length works much better on me than the typical boxy blazer. The price was great on sale and although the last thing I need is another coat, I think I have to keep this because it's so classic. I like it over the leather pants too. <br /><br />More details and pics posted on IG @wearthislikethis <br />Suz Hashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861014424535094375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-91072372009247586732017-02-08T16:10:26.930-05:002017-02-08T16:10:26.930-05:00Yes, but I'm hopeless taking photos/selfies. ...Yes, but I'm hopeless taking photos/selfies.

If J Crew were to reissue, I would say mostly jackets like the Juliette and Maggie, it's hard to find these pre-owned in petite sizing. I also have issues with a lot of the newer blazers being too long. Maybe some of the unique prints from the pre-2008 era, I really would love to have a re-issue of the library cardigan or Versailles dress.TeriLynn13https://www.blogger.com/profile/15542257181809618994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14098300494960344922017-02-07T23:32:40.907-05:002017-02-07T23:32:40.907-05:00The Portland cardigan in merino wool!
