Also, I dry on medium and I usually give the sleeves a little tug before putting in the dryer so they start with a bit of extra length.<br /><br />casual-crew - "not to be an enabler" - hehe, I think I've said those words myself. :) excellent point about the difference in weight, I will think about it...while the cash slowly empties from my pockets... :) I haven't even tried this with a coat because it hasn't been cold enough, but we are getting there, weather-wise.<br /><br />DaniBP - TY! I am trying to give more consideration to cost per wear, and I think this one fits, for me.<br /><br />Ann - good point on Bean & LE. My issue is sleeves, so that's why I was willing to pay for this one. But the Bean kiddie one is perfect!<br /><br />ABC - oh great, another J Crack addiction! :)<br /><br />dina - honey, you could use this as a winter coat!!<br /><br />Anon@2:40 - The LE is a great buy - but only if it fits. Their fit 2 doesn't always give me enought length in the sleeves - and their sherpa falls to high hip - which for some people would actually work better than the JC version. Nice to know there are alternatives out there. I really want to try the fit 1 tees from LE since they run longer in length. And I agree that their free shipping is just so fab. And so smart - because we are more likely to give something a try if we don't have to eat the shipping costs.<br /><br />Pamela - enjoy yours! I may have to wait for a better sale than that, but it's good to know. I think mine ended up at about $56 with the 20% off, so it's still lower than that. And I'll justify 1 at that price, but probably not more...at least for me.<br /><br />PFP - TY!<br /><br />Jemma Ruby - yep, prob not the best investment for you right now! :)<br /><br />Kathy - TY!<br /><br />Gigi - TY! sherpa + strapless = perfect for warm days with chilly mornings. Glad you are enjoying your dresses!HeidiGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335791412412897005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-78674228039408000672009-10-15T00:04:57.033-04:002009-10-15T00:04:57.033-04:00Sherpa w/the strapless jersey?

I got the LL Bean version instead, which was less expensive and "almost* as nice. Sleeves are plenty long enough for me. Lands End has one also (even less than the LL Bean one); I ordered the kids' version for my three girls. They have a nice assortment of colors. I think their adult version is around $39 right now.<br /><br />I agree with casual_crew...the Jaspe hoodie is the best!!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766009593401895230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-90608972899933726612009-10-08T09:45:57.988-04:002009-10-08T09:45:57.988-04:00Love this on you!

I did not size up on the Hoodie so maybe this is why I am able to get it under a coat. I am really thinking about buying a 2nd one with the fs promo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-30845113103297127992009-10-08T00:13:39.573-04:002009-10-08T00:13:39.573-04:00Yep, yep, the sherpa hoodies are wonderful, especi...Yep, yep, the sherpa hoodies are wonderful, especially with the sherpa puffy vest!!

But love yours!! And, yeah, I keep waffling about getting the bf in plum raisin. It is so pretty... I think it would be great with my tan/taupe-y sweaters from last fall. Ok, you talked me into it...<br /><br />Patina - oh yeah, so you.<br /><br />Kathy - my lips are sealed. I would definitely get a couple more for $20!<br /><br />Sweetsy - I will definitely check out the Target version. This one did end up closer to about $50 with the discount - I would have had a harder time paying the full $69.50.<br /><br />C - layering under a down vest - great! A friend of mine got the Bean one and felt like the sleeves shrank too much (always a concern of mine). But both my kids have the Bean kiddie version and it's a perfect fall jacket.<br /><br />Summerilla - check mom off the list, definitely!

This is one of the items of the pre-Jenna "preppy" Jcrew era that I really hope they will still make in 10 years.<br />My only "complaint" about it is that I can't layer it under a coat (it feels too bulky), so the season for wearing it in NY is kind of short.<br />I don't think that I will buy another one this year (unless I find the antique stone one on supersale), since mine still looks like new (and I have laundried it many times).<br />But I'm still kicking myself for not buying the shawl popover two years ago.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-43842389595435557162009-10-07T15:43:22.091-04:002009-10-07T15:43:22.091-04:00love the nail polish colour - what is it?love the nail polish colour - what is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871738287043527278.post-21625321412610999372009-10-07T14:48:57.294-04:002009-10-07T14:48:57.294-04:00Ah I agree with you 100%, I love this hoodie.
