J Crew Spring 2014: Minnie Pant in Foulard, Campbell Capri in Latticework Medallion

I haven’t purchased any J Crew Minnie Pants since they first came out a few years ago. I even sold the few pair I had due to fluctuating weight and fit issues with them. The print on the Minnie Pant in Foulard was too interesting to not try on. These are a size 8 and though they fit, they are a little bunchy in the front.

  

I had a size 6 brought to me and those fit much much better. I’ve already worn them with the Drapey Crepe Tunic in Navy. Always a good sign for a purchase when I wear it right away.

I was also able to try the Campbell Capri in Latticework Medallion. I chose a size 6 based on Gigi’s Review. I absolutely love the fit of these. The rise seems a little higher than the Cafe’ Capri. The length is about the same. I have hemmed all of my Cafe’ Capri’s and will probably do the same with these instead of ordering the 8 Petite. I like this print so I’m happy to have found a replacement for the Swoop Dress in Latticework Medallion that I returned.

With “heels” a la Gigi
Have you tried the Minnie’s in Foulard or the Campbell Capri’s? What do you think of the fit?

    I love the new Campbell Capri. Best fit ever! I too bought 6 in reg and am keeping length (not going pet) looks great with heels. This material, design and no cuff is so much better than org Capri for me. WINNER!

    Thanks for your review of the Minnie. It's in my wishlist, waiting for a promo or until they go on sale;-)). Are you usually a size 6 in J Crew pants, so they are TTS?

      Fleur De Lys – I used to take an 8 on bottom but the last year I have been consistently a size 6, so I will say they are TTS.

    I was in love with the Cafe so at first I was a little bummed, but upon trying on the Campbell's I decided I loved them MORE. They are a happy medium between the cafe and minnies.
