Some J Crew Assistance Needed Here Please!

I went and did it again!  I stepped out of the Anthro Box.

I've been searching for a Coral Cardi for some time. I would have never thought of J Crew, if it wasn't for all the subliminal messages I  receive from other Bloggers. What was that I heard...

J Crew...J Crew...J Crew

I love you...

Meet the Factory Ruffled Celosia Cardi in Coral.  By none other than J Crew. Yep, I'm in Big, Huge LOVE with a J Crew Cardi! I've got it so bad I want it in Yellow.

Only one itsy, bitsy problem.  The Yellow is sold out online.

Please...could a J Crew-aholic tell me if I can get Factory items in a store?  If so, how do I go about it.  Anthro store searches require a certain amount of finesse. It's all about the ins and outs.  Please share if you care.  Because I don't have a J Crew anywhere near me.

I found the Yellow version on eBay priced $15 over the sale price.  But only in Medium and Large.  I fear the Medium would be too big.

Please excuse my unpainted Toe Nails.  I know, it's not a pretty sight.  I promise it won't happen again.  I give my toe nails a break from polish during the Winter months.  I was caught off guard by fast rising temps.

If I can't find the J Crew CARDI...what do you think of these Yellow Cardi options?

Talbots Chiffon Ruffle Cardi

In my mind, I see the short ruffles as too conservative for me.  Unlike the bold, ruffled J Crew Cardi.

 I'm a little worried about the furry chest look with this one.

Other options I investigated.  Anthro's Roaming Frills, but in Yellow.  Only XL available on eBay.

Do you have any suggestions? Have you seen a Yellow Cardi you can suggest for me?  Please share!

If you can help me find the J Crew Cardi in Yellow, that would be much appreciated.

I came across a Post that contained a wonderful set of Yellow Cardi's HERE on  What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear.
