Even in winter. If it's cold enough, I'll wear boots. And I wear socks with sneakers because otherwise, ewwww. But I love to wear socks if I'm just hanging out at home in sweats. Weird, huh?HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-46499250403976318932009-07-12T13:29:05.367-04:002009-07-12T13:29:05.367-04:00Well, thank you Gigiofca!

I really liked it on me...so it is good to know I am not blind (although I may have blinded one of the commenters...she or he HATES the print--way too busy of a print!). I believe the skirt is a winner in that this print is isolated to the botton-half, so the print seems less jarring. I love the print, but will only consider the cardi once it gets a wee bit cheaper. I do want to purchase the crewcuts dress for CW but I DEFINITELY have to wait for a sale for that piece! <br /><br />Also, those of you that said I should have been in Real Simple are too sweet...maybe one day (a harried mom of two can dream, right?)!<br /><br />Now for the individual questions:<br /><br />JCBelleMarie: I am so glad that MMM answered your question as I didn't see your comment until a day or two later...I love the fabric, btw...thick, textured cotton. It is very nice to feel. And it lays nicely, too!<br /><br />Leader: Thank you again to MMM who answered your question. It is 138 dollars, but I believe it is worth it. For a collection piece that looks this good, 138 dollars seems like a steal. Or at least a good buy! :)<br /><br />Anon: Sorry it hurts your eyes. Definitely skip over any of my posts in the future that mention "coccodrillo" anywhere in the title. :) I definitely will make sure to put the name "coccodrillo" in any future posts for you!<br /><br />Sarah: So sweet! I know you prefer simpler, chic-er outfits, so to hear this from you is AWESOME!<br /><br />AppGal: I am right there with you. My goodness...we are supposed to be relaxing, right? Kindergarten summer school is great and it pays well, but I am BEAT from the physical work of taking care of the education of 8 five-year olds. Phew. ;)<br /><br />Kendra: I am now convinced that I have lost enough weight that my skirt size (and pants) are an 8 in J. Crew. With dresses I am either a 6, a Petite 8, or an 8. With shirts and tops and blazers I am a small or a 6. <br /><br />This skirt was an 8...so I would say true-to-size! The skirt sits at the waist, so bear that in mind. Good luck, I hope you love it!dinagideonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892195449655319256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-77298231782256604872009-07-12T11:55:55.594-04:002009-07-12T11:55:55.594-04:00OK I couldn't resist- I ordered it off ebay (w...OK I couldn't resist- I ordered it off ebay (w/8$ live/bing cashback)-- If it doesn't fit, I'll offer it to you JCA's!kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071479552417116993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680003314201998085.post-3940264762301484382009-07-12T11:44:23.463-04:002009-07-12T11:44:23.463-04:00I LOVE this skirt!!
