My Last JCrew Online Order (featuring the Tweed Mica Mini)

And I mean last as in "Last of the Mohicans". No Other Will Follow. When I woke up yesterday only to find that the final sale was back on the website I was really mad at Jcrew. I placed 3 orders in the last 2 weeks that I would never had placed had the final sale been there. OK, I returned most of the items (in fact I'm only keeping the sateen soiree blazer), but the point is that I wouldn't have ordered at all if I knew that I couldn't return anything.

But enough with the ranting! So, last week when they where running the "secret sale" promo I have ordered a few stuff. The major trigger was to get the Marjorie flats in navy that I'm sure are going to sell out at the first markdown when I'm not paying attention. It happened with the Jane flats this winter and I regretted not ordering them with one of the TURKEY or HURRAY codes because the price when they went on sale was higher than the price that I would have paid with one of the codes and they sold out immediately in the size and color that I was coveting.
Along with the Marjorie flats I ordered the Whisper cardigan in light grey, one of the new pearls and crystal necklaces and the tweed Mica mini that I had tried in store when it was FP.

The package arrived Monday (I got another UPS scare because my husband was attending his company annual picnic that day and he came home around 3.30, ie BEFORE the UPS man. I didn't find any other solution than to call the doorman and ask him to hold any delivery for us until the day after with the excuse that my daughter was having trouble sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. I felt bad but it worked. And my daughter IS having sleeping troubles, only not at that exact time).

Well, I have to say that this time I'm going to have a hard time to decide what to return because I love everything, and especially the Tweed Mica Mini.
I ordered it when it was on promo (25% off) and with the 20% off of the secret sale the price came down to $41. The day after the secret sale it went on sale for $39.99, I think I can live without asking for a price adjustement.

I love the weight of this mini (it is lined) and the little metallic threads that give it a little bit of sparkle (sorry, it doesn't show in the pictures). It runs a little bit big but I prefer it like that so it's not too short.
I tried it with my navy jacket and the new Marjorie flats:


Then with the spice olive sateen soiree blazer and light chartreuse Greer sandals (new as well, I was eyeing them and I bought them last Saturday for $89.99. I reccomend them if you have the soiree blazer in this color and in case you're wondering, they are the most comfortable sandals ever):


I tried it with the ruffle tank for a more summery look but as you can see it's a little bit bulky in the weist. I think that it would look lovely with the soft tee ruffle top though which has only one big ruffle on the chest:


Actually the real reeason why I put the ruffle tank on is that I wanted to try the necklace:

I think that it's a real nice necklace especially for the price ($38 but I got it for $30).

I also absolutely love the Marjorie flats and I don't have any navy flats (as you know by now, I'm a big fan of navy). However, I ordered a size 6H while I usually wear 7 because I had tried the 7 in store (in another color) and they were pretty big (I didn't try the 6H). The 6H that I have ordered is not too small, just a little bit snug and I have the feeling that they are going to stretch out. If you own the Marjorie, please let me know if they do.

The only item that I'm not thrilled about is the Whisper merino cardigan. Maybe it's because it's pretty heavy merino and I don't know if I want to stock up now for the winter. Also, I think that I would have maybe preferred the slate to the light grey (it was available as well) because I have more stuff that go with it. So that's the only item so far that I'm going to return. If my husband makes me a scene I will return in the order 1) the necklace (because I can re-buy it later) and 2) the Marjorie flats. I won't return the Mica mini unless I find it in super-sale in store in my size (but it's selling out fast).

Do you own the Mica mini? Would you consider buying it now that it's on sale?
