Batman Begins was incredible. I’ve seen that 5 times. Hope you both see The Dark Knight asap. We’ll have loads to share! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17106 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:22:05 +0000 Dani 17106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to see it too, hopefully this weekend or next (babysitters out of town, school starting... tends to muck up date night plans). I just saw Begins and LOVED it. Can't wait for this one! </p> <p>Angie, your outfit sounds terrific. I'm sure Batman would be pleased.<br /> Ana, can't wait to see what you come up with </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17103 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:11:54 +0000 Ana 17103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really looking forward to the movie tomorrow! I love the sound of your outfit, Angie. I still haven't decided what to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17097 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:51:27 +0000 Angie 17097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, loved the movie, San. I'll hold out on commentary until Ana can join in. </p> <p>I wore a grey micro-check side neck tie voluminous blouse with my Diesel jeans, yellow flats and tomato red military jacket (because the cinema is freezing). I hope Batman approved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17095 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:46:29 +0000 Ana 17095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not yet! We're going to try for tomorrow afternoon (hopefully it won't be sold out). What did you wear on your date with Christian? :D</p> <p>I think the red is much prettier than it came out in the pictures I took. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17094 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:45:41 +0000 Anonymous 17094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you like the movie Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist/page/2#post-17093 Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:42:40 +0000 Angie 17093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the red cardi first hand today! It's so pretty. It made me smile too. </p> <p>Just came back from Dark Knight. Have you seen it yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17072 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:47:28 +0000 Ana 17072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie! Well, maybe I'll keep my eye out for a longer cardi and if I come across one that works, I'll pick it up. </p> <p>I'm super excited about the red J. Crew cardi. The color makes me so happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17066 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:06:18 +0000 Angie 17066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(tomato red is one of my fav colours. That’s why it’s on this site! )</p> <p>I hear you Ana. You are not so short. I think you can sport a longer length boyfriend cardi because you looked so good in your shirt dress. Similar length right? At least worth a try if you like the look. But what you have is fab so no worries. The intended combo will be wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17061 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 14:46:19 +0000 Angie 17061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That an interesting tip, Shiny. How do I get past actually wearing the garment for a few days when it’s instantly itchy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17051 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 05:46:57 +0000 shiny 17051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muequita - thanks so much for responding! Do you have the version with or without thinsulate? What climate are you in, and how does it fare? Since you have the cream version, I have to ask also, how does it dry clean? They say on the site to size up if you are used to buying regular sizes - can you tell me if you did that? </p> <p>Regarding wearing wool and cashmere:</p> <p>Assuming you don't have a lanolin allergy, here's a tip: with wool and cashmere, you have to wear it a few times - without any layer underneath. Your body oils will get on the garment, and after a few wears it *won't* itch. Provided you don't wash it. Trust me, it really does work. You just have to be okay with only washing the garment once or twice a season, and getting used to the "breaking in" period after each wash. (helps if you don't wear perfume or smoke or sweat too much!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17049 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 04:04:01 +0000 Ana 17049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the advice, you guys! </p> <p>Dani, I would definitely check out these matchsticks. They are really more like straight leg jeans, so I think they should accommodate larger thighs and calves (like ours). I haven't tried the dark denim version they are rolling out for Fall yet, but I will. This particular pair is called, "Overdyed" and it comes in three colors:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/denim/matchstick/PRDOVR~95696/95696.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../95696.jsp</a></p> <p>I'm wearing the Light Pewter color in the photos, but I'm going to order the Deep Persimmon ones. I've seen the Honey Glaze ones in person, and that color is very pretty as well--like a warm golden squash color. </p> <p>Angie, I'm excited I get the thumbs up! The cardi is actually a much more vibrant tomato red in person, closer to how it's shown on the website. I love it! With a black patent belt and white skinny jeans...Yum. I know it's not a true BF cardi--I'm not sure I could sport one of those, because I'm so short and have short legs? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17048 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:53:03 +0000 Angie 17048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! A thumbs up on everything! Love you in persimmon. It’s delish! </p> <p>I might not classify that as “a boyfriend cardigan”. The style is still short. Above crotch point. Still cropped I think. Adorable on you though and longer than the cardi’s you’ve been sporting. Nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17041 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:26:47 +0000 Dani 17041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some super items! The greyhound shirt is so cute! You'll be the envy of all your "hound" friends! Given your assessment of the matchsticks, I may have to go check them out too. I really love my dark denim ones.</p> <p>I like the color of the cardigan on you and I'll be interested to see you with that style belted. That's one of the items I was considering but I don't want to always have to wear a belt with that look. Hmmm, something to consider for me.</p> <p>The Marcella blouse is really pretty. Would you wear that belted as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17039 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:17:18 +0000 Tanya 17039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great photos Ana!</p> <p>I like how everything fits you! The cardi is great, the greyhound shirt adorable, the blouse gorgeous and the matchsticks a nice fit. So I'd get them all if I were you:)</p> <p>Well, I guess I'm not that helpful after all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17035 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:06:51 +0000 Ana 17035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I went to my J. Crew today to find out what items they are getting in. While I was there I tried on some of the items from my Fall wishlist. I took photos--any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!</p> <p>Deep Persimmon Long Cardigan ("My" length boyfriend cardi). It's actually a bright tomato red. I think I would probably wear this belted unless I was wearing heels with the skinny jeans (to visually raise my waistline because my legs are so short):</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/IMG_0012-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0012-1.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/IMG_0020-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0020-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Greyhound T-shirt!</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/IMG_0014-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0014-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Matchstick Jeans (I want the Deep Persimmon color, but they didn't have it in so I tried on the Pewter color just for fit):</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/IMG_0018-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0018-1.jpg</a></p> <p>Matchsticks and Marcella Blouse in Heather Moss:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/IMG_0025-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....0025-1.jpg</a></p> <p>I actually really like the rise on these matchsticks. Usually they don't work for me, but these colored ones are nice and stretchy, and feel more like my dark denim clamdiggers do.</p> <p>Thanks everybody! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17033 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:44:41 +0000 Angie 17033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're right Kyle. I have an aversion to wool unless it's on a lined jacket or coat. I cannot wear cashmere either. But for some absurd reason, I can sport a cashmere scarf and a wool blend at times. It takes FOREVER to find Winter knitwear that doesn’t itch. Fussy feet and fussy skin. My fashion challenge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-17030 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:11:55 +0000 Kyle 17030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the J Crew look. But my problem is that I can't stand to wear wool or cashmere. Every time I try I am too uncomfortable. Not sure why -- just can't deal with it. J Crew has a lot of wool and cashmere, so that makes it tough. Angie, I noticed you made a comment about wool, sounds like you may have the same issue. How do you or others deal with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16998 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 18:00:49 +0000 Angie 16998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(There is a serious "Crew cult " in this forum. So fab.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16970 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:11:09 +0000 Ana 16970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Muequita, I'm glad someone could answer Shiny's question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16968 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:01:27 +0000 Munequita 16968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, (sorry this is a bit off topic, but I must answer this question)</p> <p>I'm petite too (5'2") and I own a cream double-cloth lady coat. It fits like a dream and I love the quality of it too. It is hard for me to find coats that fit me well, so this was so fab to find. You should definitely check out the petite version of them in a fun color! I highly recommend the coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16964 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:47:57 +0000 Sarah 16964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds great, I look forward to your email! If we go to JCrew, I'd love to get your thoughts on what I purchase since you are more familiar with the weather patterns here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16963 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:45:27 +0000 Ana 16963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No problem! I definitely want to still meet. I'll send an e-mail to you and Patience today and we can decide when/where to go. </p> <p>The online selection is better, and after today, stores will be packing up their sale merchandise and sending it to the warehouse, where it will probably be added to what's online already, so the selection might even get better. I'm not sure, but I think the online sale will stay up for a little while longer, and then probably be taken down, but then you might see some of those items pop up again next time they do an online sale. </p> <p>I think as far as sweaters go, the J. Crew featherweight options will be best for Austin. That's mainly what I'm sticking to, so I can start wearing them sooner rather than later.</p> <p>The NAS is pretty picked over at our Nordie's. If you're looking for shoes or accessories, I think there is still a petty decent selection and I would definitely plan on hitting it, just to see if there is anything you like. Plus, a lot of their spring and summer merchandise is on regular sale, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16962 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:38:13 +0000 Sarah 16962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't meet this afternoon unfortunately (my busyness for these two weeks has to do with hosting my BIL who recently separated). He leaves this coming Wednesday, so I'm available Thurs or Fri afternoon this next week.<br /> Maybe I can find some things online since there is a larger summer selection there? Then we can decide if we want to meet at Nordstrom or the Domain next week (if you're still up to it?). I know you've been to Nordstrom already (twice? more? *wink*), so I'm game for anywhere. The NAS probably doesn't meet my shopping needs now anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16959 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:18:52 +0000 Ana 16959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah,</p> <p>No, they have a few neat accessories, and mostly t-shirts and some dresses, I think. That's it. Today is the last day for the 40% off all sale, then they're packing it up and shipping it back to the warehouse. But if you need some colorful basics for layering or want an accessory or something, I'd go down and take a look at what they have. </p> <p>Can you go today or do you want to meet sometime later? I have an appointment at 1:00, but it should be over at 3:00. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16958 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 15:15:28 +0000 Ana 16958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, are you going to try the Sea Green tweed jacket? I think that would look so pretty on you and match your eyes. My second vote is for the evergreen color.</p> <p>Hmm...I haven't seen the Lady coats in person because they're usually only available online and they are too heavy for Austin's winters. Do you live near a J. Crew? If you order one on the red phone, shipping is free, and you can return it to the actual store, so you don't have to worry about boxing it up and mailing it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16952 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:56:03 +0000 Sarah 16952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, Does the Domain location have a lot of summer items left? As I said in my clamdigger thread, I'm probably going to purchase mostly summer items for now since I don't really have much of that, and we have three months left to endure. By that point I'll be even smaller, and will feel better about investing in fall clothing. I can probably benefit from a few of the fall things though, as they look transitional - plus, I do work in a cold office.<br /> So yes, let's meet. I saw in my JCrew package that they offer free personal shopping, I've never had a personal shopper before! I'd love that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16946 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:47:16 +0000 shiny 16946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, do you have any experience with their double-cloth lady coats?</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/jacketsouterwear/jackets/PRDOVR~79203/79203.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../79203.jsp</a></p> <p>They have them every year - in petite - and in fun colors. With or without thinsulate! I am always tempted ....</p> <p>Otherwise, my wish-list for fall includes:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/jacketsouterwear/jackets/PRDOVR~97471/97471.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../97471.jsp</a></p> <p>and maybe I'll finally give their suiting a try; I need a new black wool jacket. </p> <p>Also they are showing a grey wool jacket in their intro but I don't see it yet to buy. And now I'm not seeing the intro either! I saw it early this morning, and if I remember correctly it had kind of a menswear-inspired thing going on. I want a menswear-inspired jacket this season. </p> <p>I'll have to wait until I can get to the store for other items to be added to my list. Often I have to try on and see in person before I know what I like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16943 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:42:13 +0000 Ana 16943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you go to the store and try them on, take your camera and take photos so we can help you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-fall-wishlist#post-16940 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 14:38:56 +0000 Tanya 16940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, there were some more interesting details last year. But let's wait, this is their August collection, which is sort of almost pre-fall, and most retailers in my experience go for the big September collections.</p> <p>Angie, I love argyle, and I might have to stop by Benetton to check out what you are describing. Two or so weeks ago when I was there for the last time there was no fall stuff yet. And do you think that the Kelsey tank dress might work better for me over skinnies than those atrocities I posted last night? It is sort of A-line, but if course I'll have to try it on.</p> <p>Ana, I shall certainly try all of those sweaters. I am only afraid that I'll like to many of them and I can only get two. </p>
