Sunday Sales

I just got the Banana Republic straight leg black pants you recently recommended. Of course they are way too long. As a size 12 60 year old what length do you recommend. There are so many opinions out there. At the ankle bone, slightly below? I usually wear shoes/sandals of 1 to 2 1/2 inches height. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

Love these pretty dresses! Would you give some advice on how to wear a spring(ish) dress for Easter and other occasions when it is still cold and possibly snowing in Ohio? Boots don't seem right but bare legs and sandals don't work! Thank you!!

Hi Megan, Will you be doing outfit formulas any time soon? I always love those, and find them very helpful. Stay warm!

Hi We Here are the cluster stud earrings?

Hi, Megan! Thanks for this - I have a Nordstrom gift card from a Christmas gift return burning a hole in my pocket 😉 Question: I went on a blazer kick last year, and have 3 new blazers, 2 wool and 1 corduroy. I get bored with button downs all the time, and am having a hard time finding layering cowl/funnel/mock/turtlenecks in a fine rib or jersey fabric. Suggestions?

Hi Ruby, I am a Canadian gal myself, and feel your pain! I am lucky that I live close to the Detroit border, so returns are not too bad. I rarely return, as I try on the clothing for fit, then purchase, but if I really love an item of clothing, I have it tailored. I am not sure where you live, but there are some American clothing sites that cater to Canadians, without all the hassle of paid returns, and free shipping as well depending on the purchase amount. I am not a fan of unnatural fibres like polyester, as my body gets too hot, and the clothing simply pills, especially with all the blended materials, so look for retailers that sell better, quality clothing, with a simple online search. Also, Poshmark has some great brand name items at low cost and new too!

Hi, I read your segments faithfully and fully enjoy your ideas and recommendations. Would you be able to provide info on where to buy similar items featured in CANADA? We are your Northern neighbors and also like to purchase many items you feature. Thanks very much!!

I enjoy your posts! I found your comment interesting about using a sequined blazer for multiple festive events over several years. I feel stymied with buying new fun items that might be More expensive because I'm concerned they might be a "wear once" item. You helped me see that some might be things I could use for a number of occasions. I'm wondering if you might do a post (or series of posts) about holiday party clothing "basics" (many of which we may already have) and how to mix in new holiday clothing items. It would be helpful to get some ideas of things we could buy that would complement things like 1) black velvet pants, 2) black velvet blazer, 3) sequin sweater, 4) midi pleated satin skirt (black or other color).

Thanks for the posts on express items. I always forget about that store. I ordered the sweater with the bows. A nice festive piece to add to my holiday wardrobe. Thanks for the recommendations.

In late summer I discovered WOW wide leg jeans at Old Navy and bought 3 pair in different colors. Love them.

Megan, these are amazing ON picks. I had goose bumps as I scrolled through because they are all so adorable and affordable! Thanks for taking the time to research.

Does the animal print blouse have shoulder pads? Or a puff sleeve? I am very broad shouldered, so those dont work for me

You nailed it on this post! I love everything! Thank you for all you do!

I bought the short trench coat in the classic khaki a few weeks ago and could have easily sized down (this does not usually happen to me with JCrew products). I ended up keeping it because I needed it for a trip, and I really do like the way it looks and hangs on me. Would recommend and now I kind of want the navy version!

This is a really nice purse. Please do a column on smallish purses soon, especially ones (other than black) that go well with denim of various shades.

Thank you!

I agree about the long denim skirts.

These prices are fantastic! Hope I will have the chance to wear two new dresses this summer…

I love the extra high-wasted power chill skort. But I really really like the T-shoes the model is wearing with the skort. Do you know the brand?

I love how you find us such good deals! I think I'm going to get the Old Navy top and get some use out of my strapless bra. For heaven sake, it just sits in my drawer.

Thanks for all you do for us!

I picked up the chambray shirt at LOFT last week. So soft and comfortable. It’s set to go in my bag to Italy next month as a versatile layering piece.

Thank you for your recommendations Megan! I ordered the utility jacket- love short jackets for my long waist and short legs! I have some great items in my closet thanks to you!

Such cute things at JCrew Factory!! I really appreciate how you curate the best things, makes it super easy for me to get a few spring outfits ( now that it's freezing again in DC!)

Help me understand why designers are always showing long shirts, sweaters etc and then all the models show how to tuck in the front to make it shorter. Just please make a shorter top

I love loft. Great place to refresh her wardrobe and add some colorful more and trend pieces. Can you do a blog post on three different ways to wear the chambray denim top? I feel like I want to experiment with this trend of denim on denim, but not really sure how to do it other than wearing it with white pants. As always thanks for the great content.

Love your newsletter and your common sense approach to classic style.
