Thanks for the details. Good to know. I will get mine next week and share my thoughts.

I am about to head out to work with a client Suz, but wanted to say that my cream CK Narlas are dressy WORKHORSES. I am wearing them again today. They took a few times to really wear in, but they have become 8 hr shopping shoes - and I walk fast.

Thank you, Angie! That helps! I think I'll give them a try...

Oh I love, love, love these! Longer of the two hemmed lengths for sure. J Crew will do a price adjustment on your sweater (for 30 days). I've done it before with no problems. I've also emailed them and they get right back to you, so you might try that before calling and waiting on the phone.

Is it wrong for me to want to run right out to my J Crew store and try/buy these for myself? I love culottes, and I'm probably tall enough that I wouldn't have to hem them. Oh the magnetic pull towards the mall.....

Such a lemming am I....

Thank you so much, Karie -- I am going to ask them for the price adjustment because it is just a crazy difference in price on the sweater!
