lmonet how does that old navy "wrap sweater fit? Is it tts or a it large. Does it lay right on? I keep looking at it but I'm not sure.
I know they look huge and misshapen on the hangers, don't they?!? It's super cute on though - reminds me alot of and Anthro sweater with the trim and the fabric buttons .
I got an XS, which is pretty normal for me at ON. It fit well, maybe just a tad on the loose side. It shrunk quite a bit after I washed it though (cold-gentle cycle w/Woolite, tumble dry no heat) mostly in length. If you want it to be a little fitted, get a size that fits you a little loose. If you want it to be a little looser after washing, get a size up. HTH!

I will in 5-7 days be the proud owner of these: They are the perfect heel/round toe and burgundy-brown color! Argh. But $98 was a killer deal for Marc/Marc Jacobs boots! (Oh well, I'd probably get bored if I retired that early!).-- Edited by jah at 20:35, 2005-09-02 jah- You're making me feel bad. But you know what, a girl can never have too many shoes. At least that's what I keep telling myself. I wasn't planning to do any shopping either, but they were a really good price for MJ boots and I just couldn't resist.
I'm actually thanking you for turning me onto the great steal so don't feel bad...me giving up buying shoes was a hopeless cause anyway...AND you put it exactly right, the price of the boots was irresistable. I will be sporting them all fall/winter!
I wanted some over-the-top, obnoxiously blingy earrings...these fit the bill at $7.50
This charm necklace at AE...the proceeds go to Hurricane Katrina victims and it looks cool to boot!
Finally, these, which I am really proud of. They are crazy and whimsical and tacky, and that's why I love em. Sort of Alice and Wonderland-ish. Much cooler in real life.

At AE, I got a skirt with dark and light pink stripes and pink sequins, but there was no picture on the website because it was on super sale (yay!). Plus, I got a pink beater with gold sequins around the neck and I also got these items:
this except with 3/4 sleeves ooohhh cords;)
And then these from lululemon:
for school... in light blue
except in dark grey with lime green lining.. so yummy!
I just moved to a city to go to school! Can you tell?! I'm so excited about being able to go shopping whenever I want:):):)

--brown tweed pants -- Target (the pic online is AWFUL, so I am not bothering to post it). Not sure if the length is right, though, so I may return. -layered pearl necklace from Target. --lots of dog toys at Petco.
I have been wanting some brown tweed pants. Could you tell me how the fit is as far as the rise? Are they flared, straight legged? I almost ordered some from Spiegel today, but I just hesitated because I have only ever had bad luck with Spiegel. Thanks.
I think I found them online, but they are the Mossimo brand which is Juniors. Yet they are sized like misses (2, 4, 6, etc) Are these the ones? If so, did you size up or get your regular size? I am a size 6 in Express Correspondents if that helps. I am very interested in these. Thanks.
