I heard it is true to color...as a true pastel mint color which I hope is true b/c that is what I want. When I preordered the C. F. Astrid the CS rep told me the new spring line is full of pastels and muted colors and that makes me happy too; enough brights please!!!! The C. F. Astrid is in the JCrew Collection and is pictured only online. It comes in black and ivory and I ordered up a size after I got the measurements on the item as well b/c it seemed to run a tad smaller in bust and shoulder measurements than my other two Astrids. Aasha,

I like the look of this new color but often the colors are a lot different than they look in the photos...thanks! Which style did you buy? I am thinking of getting the sweater with the tie at the shoulder and will wait until the ruffle cardigans go on sale eventually - I am glad they now made this popular merino style in cashmere...

OK. Also, placed an order last night but decided to wait on the Deco Dot cami (hoping it will go down in price more...there are still at least 99 if not more left in my size!) I preordered the cascading flowersl Astrid as well as got a cashmere sweater in light spearmint and the Andrea Jacket....it seemed like a better deal for the jacket at $129 vs. the Deco cami for $99! Plus, only 3 left of the jacket in my size! Leigh,

I meant to get back to you about that. I hope that helps you decide on your purchase. Did you in the outerwear post that I linked to the picture of the Greta coat for you? Thanks Ann.
