I ordered something from Banana Republic and it took 6 days to arrive. My J crew orders always arrive in 3-4 days at the most.

Lots of nice color choices on staples like the Jackie. I went to the store today to return a lot of stuff, and the SA could not have been any sweeter. Plus, I found some crazy deals on perfect shirts and Twyla tanks (um, $3.50). I was lucky enough to get free shipping/no min on my account, so that's been really a nice way to order from this latest promo. I want to rave about the Julienne heels I received - perfectly new and packaged well, fit like a dream, lovely colors. Add me to Team Tartan Shirt as well -- I wear it like every other day.shopwithmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504299198061494803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-40663933635304858472010-12-16T21:57:10.086-05:002010-12-16T21:57:10.086-05:00I just ***LOVE*** how fluidly all J.

Probably the first time I walked into the store with returns and didn't spend more than I returned. Sale section was pretty sad.

Some other retailers ship soooo much more slowly than usual when they offer a free shipping code. With JC, I always get my orders in 2 days regardless of whether it was a FS promo.AOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786793759810769094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83381664633033960472010-12-16T17:02:15.224-05:002010-12-16T17:02:15.224-05:00Wow, lots of loves this week! :) I have 3! :)

My friend got married last summer and I was the bridesmaid. I can be quite picky because I am a tomboy and don't really often wear fancy dresses. And I only wear flats. So gowns were out of the question. Therefore, We were having difficulty searching for a beautiful and comfortable dress that we all could agree on. And in comes the J. Crew catalog to save the day...I found the silk chiffon Taryn dress in charcoal and was able to get exact measurements from customer service which really helped. We ordered the dresses online and received it in 2 weeks. And it fit perfectly, no need for alterations. Both the maid of honor and I were so comfortable on that hot summer day and we felt great wearing this dress.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941005001672588930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-42962253335231242642010-12-16T15:23:02.985-05:002010-12-16T15:23:02.985-05:00Just received my MUSTHAVE order.

With the price it's at now, I think I'll keep this one!<br /><br />Also got a pair of matchstick cords, a tissue t-neck, and a highland puffer vest. Unfortunately, the cords will be going back.

One of the only full price JC purchases I've made this season.<br /><br />I like it but compared to other JC sweaters (both from this season and past), I think the quality has declined. The fabric feels a little cheaper and the knit is a bit looser. I noticed that the fiber content lists acrylic and nylon first, which probably explains the feel. I'm happy with the sweater so I can overlook these flaws.juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257565700433929968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-4346814124377323862010-12-16T13:42:44.507-05:002010-12-16T13:42:44.507-05:00I am in love with my most recent skirt purchases! ...I am in love with my most recent skirt purchases! The double-serge pencil (black and heather carbon) is absolutely perfect for work and goes with everything. I find them to be incredibly flattering on my size 10 frame. I also own the felted wool mini (in black) and with opaque black tights, it becomes appropriate for work. I actually sized down in this one and love it. The last one is the factory double-serge bistro mini (in purple). I wore it to a holiday party last weekend and got many compliments.

I vote for the sheath as well. Par-tay time is the time to shine, so throw on a great necklace or earrings & bracelet and have a good time. As an owner of the Coralie in mink, I would wear that w/a black pencil skirt to work. You can snazz it up w/lots of jewelry, but I like the sheath idea better. $.02Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119918515498248436noreply@blogger.com
