It’s like what can you put on when you don’t really want to get dressed but have to. I think these pants fit the bill. <br />For me considering I don’t go to an office nor do I intend to go to a funeral any time soon, I will add them to my usual rotation.

(Maybe it was just me and some friends in HS but we loved that look.) I also think the pants would work well cropped and if they get reduced further I wouldn’t hesitate to get a second pair and have them hemmed to about 26” inseam/ankle length. <br />What I cannot understand is the white shoelace drawstring. It’s not absolutely necessary since the waist is elastic but I like to tighten the waist so I will keep it. I might switch it out for a black cord.

Unlike the vintage cotton which must be a looser weave, it feels a bit more structured and less likely to sag.

The reviews say the same so I would say if you want something loose and wear like a dress, size up. But if you’re looking for a nice tunic sweater, your normal size will be slightly drapey but flattering.liztridenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565675140813379423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-19439855061123675492021-10-16T23:35:59.578-04:002021-10-16T23:35:59.578-04:00Normally I just scan for certain things I like, bu...Normally I just scan for certain things I like, but today I scrolled through the sale section and it seemed like there was a lot of new additions that I actually liked. I placed a pretty big order, the first time in a long time:<br />* leather montauk tote in rose petal. This bag was close to $300 regular price and I bought it earlier at 40% off, but I didn't like it enough for $180, I guess because I didn't love the shade (altho pink is my fav color), it doesn't close, and it's totally unstructured. But for under $60, I'll take it.<br />* Ratti midi dress in seashell is under $70. Ratti prints are always stunning, IMO, although I don't always like them for me. This one I like. I actually ordered this a week or so ago and it was just cancelled. Which worked out fine b/c I got it for less this time around. Let's see if it ships.<br />* Gwen lug sole leather lace up boots in that lovely ivory are $62! That seems crazy. I had to get these.<br />* Pacific sherpa lined clogs are just under $50. I got similar ones from MW a couple of weeks ago and I love them much more than I thought I would -- I thought they would look too clunky and be too heavy. But I love them, so I tried a couple of these as well. If nothing else, good indoor slippers.<br />* Embroidered cashmere sweaters were both under $50. I think both are pretty cute, and I do like the cut of the new looser crewneck.<br />* Magic rinse stuff: after reading Suz's comments I took a second look at these. Somehow I mentally associated Magic Rinse with SuperSoft so I totally ignored all of this. But looking more closely, I realize it's just the name that turned me off; they are 100% cotton, normal sweats. I do love sweats so I bought a few joggers and hoodies.<br />* lastly, I got some men's slub cotton hoodies. I got these for my son a couple years ago and realized they are pretty non-gendered so I tried it for myself. They are just really nice thick tshirt jersey material, super comfy and not at all bulky in the way that some hoodies can be.AudreyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783881806028461090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-5884404923196194472021-10-16T19:59:52.113-04:002021-10-16T19:59:52.113-04:00hi . how did you find the fit of the cashmere slee...hi . how did you find the fit of the cashmere sleeveless turtleneck tunic? tts?

Flimsy, sizing is crazy. Wide in the heel, length may be too short or too long. Fabric is so thin that my large toe was showing up by the toe box. My humble opinion, stay away! I also remember you are a Cece lover as I am. No comparison.

I hope you’re having a good weekend!...Hi everyone. I hope you’re having a good weekend! A couple of winners for me recently. The sleeveless cashmere turtleneck is divine. Because I’m so tall I often look for longer length sweaters like this. I ordered both navy and muslin. The muslin was missing from my box so CS credited back my account but I’ll be ordering it again (annoying) because the navy is just lovely. Cashmere reminds me of yesteryear (just dropped off my favorite vintage crew cashmere boyfriend sweaters from 2012 I think at the dry cleaners). <br /><br />Also in the cashmere realm is the oversized cashmere t shirt. The cashmere is just lovely! I love the sand color (a really pretty neutral blush) that I ordered the gray too. My normal size works well for length and I like the drapey fit too.<br /><br />That’s all for cashmere. Happy I took a chance on these items. I ordered the new crew neck cashmere sweater and thought it was scratchy (ok with a cami). But these items are far, far superior in my opinion.<br /><br />The cotton cashmere turtleneck sweater is really nice too. I ordered the gray but I’d prefer a different color so I’ll exchange. Just a really nice classic.<br /><br />Perfect fit turtleneck in cream and black stripe is a good staple.<br /><br />The collection tuxedo silk shirt in ivory is a winner! The silk may not be as thick as some may like but I like the top for layering. Under a blazer or a black lace top (a look I wore a lot last winter) is how I plan to wear it. I love it so much that I ordered the black too.<br /><br />In non-Jcrew purchases, the double breasted blazer at Banana Republic is one of my favorite purchases in a long, long time. Classic, well made, and so, so chic. I’ve worn a couple of times already and will wear a million ways all year long. liztridenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565675140813379423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-58429242749329245222021-10-16T13:15:15.447-04:002021-10-16T13:15:15.447-04:00Reviews seem mostly positive but I remember Lynn s...Reviews seem mostly positive but I remember Lynn saying they were worse than the Evie flats. I don’t remember if it was a personal opinion or info from someone else. <br /><br />I had a pair of gold evie flats from a few years ago and could not wear them. The toe shape seemed more round than the Zoe though and it just didn’t fit my foot.

I've started Christmas shopping given the news about delays/shortages. I also placed a couple of orders this morning.<br /><br />1. Merino wool black/white cardigan. This is a good option for fall. Merino is lightweight and fit is tts. Winters are mostly mild in Texas, so the cardigan will get lots of wear. Planning to pair with Co wool/cashmere pants in black that I picked up during end of season sales. I'm still looking for a pair of ivory wool pants. Tried Massimo Dutti, but didn't love the style/cut.<br /><br />2. Puff-sleeve shirtdress in Liberty® Elysian Day floral. Fit is tts and agree the color is more muted in person. It's still a very pretty print and I like the pockets. It will be an easy travel dress next spring/summer.<br /><br />3. Garment-dyed slub cotton hoodie. Picked up multiples of this for gifts. I have college-age cousins that really like this style. Fabric is soft and I like the colors (picked up light blue, smoked red and autumn gold).<br /><br />Morning orders: Budding floral pjs, tie waist pull on skirt in dusty ivory (hoping skirt will work as casual gear for game days) and merino wool dress in begonia (pink). This was on my buy list, so when my size popped back I purchased.

I don’t understand why the codes no longer reflect final price after all codes applied - isn’t it an incentive to show people the much lower price after codes? eeps.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10627356547323862881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-83295451132526466542021-10-16T09:16:51.316-04:002021-10-16T09:16:51.316-04:00@FlowerPower, I have a feeling it will.

Then once coffee kicked in realized I should get for my girls too because who doesn’t love new sweats for the holidays. <br /><br />Whether it’s my internet connection or website issues it took hours but I managed to order for them in what should be oversized fits—I think they will be ok with it. Also grabbed the cotton robes, socks and one set of the magic rinse wide leg sweats and sweatshirt in the light mint. I have no idea how this color looks in real life. In some pics it’s washed out and almost pale gray and in others it looks like a light sage. Hope my order went through.

They keep the store 100% pristine. It has never looked one bit messy, including the sale area. The associates have all been there for years, and they know how to take care of customers. <br /><br />This store has Crew Cuts and men's clothing as well, but they don't get many of the items that I order. Two of the SA's are about my size, so when I have made returns, they have fun trying things on. They tend to get more of the basics.<br /><br />If there has been anything that I've been considering ordering on the day I'm going (rather than placing it online), I'll have the store do it so that they get credit for the sale. They always appreciate that.MmeJacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172461115869249805noreply@blogger.com
