I was having more warm fuzzy feelings up until this issue came back to haunt me!<br /><br />Glad you got a great skirt:)Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958935648981032458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-82542886946473592092010-12-10T18:28:19.910-05:002010-12-10T18:28:19.910-05:00I have had my eye on the Cord pencil skirt all sea...I have had my eye on the Cord pencil skirt all season and after seeing Roxy in a couple lately, I ordered the Cord pencil skirt in Golden Wood with the GIFTS promo and I looooove it. So much so that I ordered the other two colors (which are on sale!) with the PRESENTS promo.<br /><br />I ordered it in a regular size 6 and found the length to be right at that leg lengthening sweet spot. I'm 5'5'' and the skirt is 22 1/4 long. I also think it's the most slimming pencil skirt I've ever worn - maybe how a pencil skirt should really look? Anyway, I'm addicted.<br /><br />I also ordered the double-serge pencil skirt (in 8 - my true non-JCrew size) and found the length on that one to be bordering on mid-calf. I sent it back for an exchange and hoping the 8P will work out because I loved the Pearl Grey color and the look and feel of the wool. Hoping there are not many other 8Ps out there who will be competing for these when/if they go on sale. ;)<br /><br />I know there are some bizarre quality issues lately but the combo of this great skirt and the great promos lately have restored Jcrew to a warm and fuzzy place in my heart.Bibliophiliachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05382866914370750498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-41331877970641422102010-12-10T12:39:59.256-05:002010-12-10T12:39:59.256-05:00Love my Thandie wool blazer in black.

I'm assuming it will be in the resort rollout? Starting to feel it was the right thing to pass on Loft's striped merino (MERINO for $98) jacket.

Mine has helped me sort out issues with my orders, sought out HTF items with great success, grants me price adjustments without hassle (when valid, of course), extended a promo when I had issues ordering from the site before the promo ended, tried on shoes and provided feedback on the fit/comfort, gives her opinion on fabric quality/feel by looking at the items in the mock store and also gets me measurements and compares them to other items I recently bought.<br /><br />I was a bit worried that I'd get sales pressure from a PS but she really is involved only as much as I want her to be. If we don't have contact for a while she will email just to check in or let me know when new arrivals are coming. It's been over a year now and there has been zero pressure and the benefits to me are well worth it.<br /><br />I am in Canada so can't speak to the Retail PS experience but math teacher and others have often left glowing comments about their PSs.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-14852835930717514772010-12-09T11:26:06.479-05:002010-12-09T11:26:06.479-05:00I gotta say that I love my Marled Thandie blazer. ...I gotta say that I love my Marled Thandie blazer.

It's fun to pair complimentary or contrasting colors with the Jackie cardis. I am sensitive to wool so these are great under wool sweaters too of course. Lately I have been wearing them under some of the suiting dresses as well. A versatile winter piece that I have never seen duplicated quite as well by other retailers.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-64181629509178541012010-12-09T08:29:55.399-05:002010-12-09T08:29:55.399-05:00Just want to give props to my online PS...she is a...Just want to give props to my online PS...she is amazing!
