So, last week I posted about the new arrivals from J. Crew's Fall 1 collection. It was soooo good! Here are some of the pieces that I just can't do without. (I'm still working on some of them. Payday is Friday.) My pocketbook took a hit. But, boy was my closet happy! lol Throughout the season, I'll be posting on some transitional looks that can incorporate your new Fall pieces into your Summer wardrobe. :-)
In the catalog, this blouse seems like a heavy herringbone wool. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find out how light it is. It's a gorgeous silk crepe de chine fabric. I can wear it now without burning up and then add some layers when it gets cooler.
Blythe Blouse in Polka-Dot
I never thought a neutral could stand out so much. If you're not big on graphic prints, this is an easy way to slide on in to the trend. The taupe on white combination makes this top super easy to wear with anything in your closet.
I love this vintage Liberty print. It has a retro feel but still so fresh at the same time. I don't own too many $150 shirts, but this one is soooo worth it!
Tie-Neck Top in Dot
This print also came in a pleated skirt and a dress. But, to me, the blouse is just enough. It's super sweet and when I put it on I feel a little Murphy Brown. :-) Plus, the cap sleeve is long enough so that you don't have to wear a sweater or jacket over it in the office.
Are you kidding?
This caramel color is MAJOR!!
I wore these to work immediately after I bought them with my Blythe Blouse in Neon Azalea. J'adore!
Garment-Dyed Camp Pant
I already have (pre)buyers remorse about these. I really don't have a reason to buy another pair of colored pants. But, I feel like I'll quickly get over that once I bring them home and see how much of the items in my closet go with these. AND, they have a little stretch in them which is perfect for the cooler months as all the eating commences
I wore this to work on Saturday. I love it! It's a wool/silk blend which was great because its not too hot to wear it now.
These are my favorite work shoes ever! I have them in leopard print and nude. I wear them so much and they're amazingly comfortable while standing for nine hours. It's only natural that I have them in black too.
I just bought last season's version of these on super sale and I'm extremely pleased that they re-released them. They're very comfy and are a cute spin on a classic ballet flat.
Eureka!!! I've been waiting for this shoe to hit our store for months. I got an email about these shoes in April and I've been pining for them ever since. I was worried that they would be a little uncomfortable (I don't like patent ballet flats) but these are fantastic!! And this is a really fun color. I don't need another pair of nude or black ballet flats. But, Warm Jade???? Yes, please!
This baby isn't new to J. Crew but, it is new to my closet. I really needed a good transitional jacket. And there is nothing classier than a good ole (well fitting) trench coat.
