I sometimes feel reluctant to post a bad review because I always think that maybe it is just me. But I see that Tabitha and few others have the same impression, so I am afraid it will not work for many.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-40167343919973250482012-03-15T20:56:05.623-04:002012-03-15T20:56:05.623-04:00it is a mess Gigi, I wish they will send somebody ...it is a mess Gigi, I wish they will send somebody to clean it up!ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-340670606000602062012-03-15T20:55:17.084-04:002012-03-15T20:55:17.084-04:00invisible pinning should be outlawed methinksinvisible pinning should be outlawed methinksajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-67930659325413027852012-03-15T20:54:30.972-04:002012-03-15T20:54:30.972-04:00I have also laughed at my own reflection...I have also laughed at my own reflection...ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-16227546621855872672012-03-15T19:08:51.333-04:002012-03-15T19:08:51.333-04:00OMG Thank you so much for reviewing the Circle Eye...OMG Thank you so much for reviewing the Circle Eyelet dress. I've been obsessed with it ever since it appeared on the website, and I've been stalking all my local stores to see if it would show up. I was just about to take the plunge and order it online (I rarely order dresses without trying them on first) and then I noticed that the estimated ship date moved to sometime in July. I literally almost threw my computer off the desk until I saw your review. Thank you for saving me the money!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652923783470293228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-66404149991547496032012-03-15T04:34:53.168-04:002012-03-15T04:34:53.168-04:00Oh this post is funny.

This is an email that I received from J.Crew responding to my earlier inquiry about the apple dress:<br /><br />"Thanks for your patience as we researched to find out more information about the dress you’ve seen. This is the Big Apple Print Dress in Mela Red, item 65227. I have learned that it is not actually purple as it seemed to appear via the link you provided. It is actually red and I hope this information is helpful. This dress has not actually arrived to us as of yet; however, you’re welcome to call our Personal Shopper team at 1-800-261-7422, if you’d like to place it on a pre-order."<br /><br />Hmm, no I don't think I am interested, thank you very much.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-8463943877525692702012-03-14T22:45:08.124-04:002012-03-14T22:45:08.124-04:00When I saw this dress I could not believe my eyes,...When I saw this dress I could not believe my eyes, and this just does not seem fair and honest to have it photographed like this.ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-88066641695405196642012-03-14T22:43:43.458-04:002012-03-14T22:43:43.458-04:00Right Tabs, we don't mind looking younger, but...Right Tabs, we don't mind looking younger, but not that much younger ;)ajchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697200294387151584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-43659919844421656622012-03-14T22:41:38.077-04:002012-03-14T22:41:38.077-04:00hexicon ITA, if I want artsy I will look at art.

Thank goodness for the blogging community for presenting things as they are. I hope JC takes note of this when they do their "research" (by reading this blog and others). There's no B&M here (yet), so it has been years of guessing what colours I'll be seeing when I open a package.
