I can usually wear an 8 if I want it more fitted but I am not a tight/fitted jacket person. I like a LITTLE room to move and I like boxy jackets:) Just me:)<br /><br />Sounds like we would make good fit models for each other.<br /><br />I used to have 3 JCrew stores nearby for many years but no more...since we moved. <br /><br />Fit Model Buddy:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-12358479927753394762009-06-22T10:53:38.838-04:002009-06-22T10:53:38.838-04:00I'm adding the moisturizer and eyeliner to my ...I'm adding the moisturizer and eyeliner to my list for my next Walmart run! The liner names crack me up-- not much imagination at Loreal these days! I was using the Sephora brand liner and it's OK, but doesn't last long enough. <br /><br />Hope you are staying dry in CT! Isn't the sweatshirt cardi perfect for this weather!? Although, I wouldn't mind not having to wear it every day....<br />Thanks for the fun post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-60375822635770650792009-06-22T07:14:22.729-04:002009-06-22T07:14:22.729-04:00Anon - no JC near? stinky!

And I am definitely a 10 in jackets with my shoulders. So yeah, I would say we could be pretty good fit models for each other! Keep me posted on what works for you and I'll do the same. :)HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-18934883975836656452009-06-22T05:57:58.903-04:002009-06-22T05:57:58.903-04:00Thanks Heidi, I went with my usual size medium on ...Thanks Heidi, I went with my usual size medium on the strapless jersey dress. Thanks again. What size pants do you wear at JCrew? I am pretty much a solid 8 in pants and shorts. I wear a 10 in jackets. It is nice to "meet" another tall person so I can see how clothes look on me.

BB has some great colors in the lip shimmers!<br /><br />PBP - yep, my YSL eyebrow is the only pencil worth sharpening. maybe one day I'll jump on the powder shadow train for brows, but this is just so easy - and it has the spoolie on the other end.<br /><br />C - oooh, interesting suggestion. I will have to check that out. Thanks!<br /><br />JNJ - Smashbox does have one of the best sites for ordering. I order from them and Sephora, depending on what else I need. I love the whole idea of the Let's Do Lunch bonuses on T/TH - so cute & clever.<br /><br />Anon@6:03 - Thank you so much! Sounds like you could be even a wee bit curvier than me, lol - I am a solid 36A. I think I hit a B cup at the end of each pregnancy, but that's pretty much the only time. The strapless dress should be perfect on you. And the price now, at $29.99 - outstanding. If the strap feels a bit loose, like mine does, you can either pay to have it shortened, do it yourself, or go with the lazy method of doing a quick little knot behind your neck (that's what I do - haven't been motivated enough to have it shortened yet).HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-64627244308593011032009-06-21T18:03:57.010-04:002009-06-21T18:03:57.010-04:00OT:

I usually wear an 8 or medium in JCrew dresses...Not to get too personal but since this is strapless and I am a 36A (sometimes 36B) wondering what size on top you would be to compare. Our bodies look very similar in the picture to me.<br /><br />Thanks so much.

I will look for that lipstick next time I'm in Sephora; it's always fun to try something new.<br /><br />The cheap "lip stuff" I've been hooked on for the last year or so is Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer. I must have a half-dozen of them scattered around the house, in Watermelon (a lighter pink), Fig, and Rhubarb (these two are more of a berry color). I love it when I can use just one thing and have it work as both a lip balm and a lip color (the Burt's Bees does this).Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766009593401895230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-32946219220120796912009-06-20T14:45:26.852-04:002009-06-20T14:45:26.852-04:00love your purchases.love your purchases.Her Preppinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12966173773597814877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-5442516403003500872009-06-20T13:38:19.431-04:002009-06-20T13:38:19.431-04:00Stylestance - I have used the Clinique self-sharpe...Stylestance - I have used the Clinique self-sharpening (love their colors), but I think this one does last longer.<br /><br />Kathy - hope it works for you. Kids & I are having a great time. No rain since Thursday - but we are about to get hit again this afternoon.<br /><br />Lissa - yeah, I know, but in with the Walmart post, it did feel like a splurge. :) I'm sure your new PB lamp is totally fabbie. Worth giving up food, definitely.<br /><br />Slastena - You are totally right about getting what you pay for. That's also why I love it when I find these steals that actually work. And if I tire of them in a month or two, I don't feel bad. It's interesting because I have actually had better luck with drugstore moisturizers than most department store brands.<br /><br />luvallthingsjcrew - thanks!HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-76523921628651415502009-06-20T11:08:00.454-04:002009-06-20T11:08:00.454-04:00Cute post...luveed reading about your Walmart shop...Cute post...luveed reading about your Walmart shopping bag!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-79903334826431479052009-06-20T10:59:08.200-04:002009-06-20T10:59:08.200-04:00Lol about Lissa's commment!

Nowdays, with soaring prices, makeup for under/little over $20 considered a steal. Also, it is true that you get what you paid for. I am not saying that there are no good cheap products, but generally I get more wear and use out of good established brands. Smashbox and Bobbi Brown would be an example. If I buy a product from them, I know I am going to : 1) enjoy the ownership, 2) wear it a lot, 3 ) have no allergy issues, 4)be perfectly fine with quality- it will last long, will look the way it is supposed to look, will stay put without smudging and running over.<br /><br />Enjoy your purchase!!!
