Last Wednesday was our 15th Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately, Husband had to leave for San Francisco early in the morning so we were unable to celebrate until he returned on Friday. We had dinner on the Riverwalk and went to see John Mulaney later that night. As soon as I tried on the Drapey Crepe Oxford Jumpsuit, I knew that I wanted to wear it for our night out.

It was pretty warm and humid that evening so the sleeveless worked well. I laughed so much in the theater that it kept me warm enough. The jumpsuit was long so I did a quick hem with double-sided Hollywood tape. I love the length and dropped it off at the tailor to get it properly hemmed. 

I chose the Shilling Bib Necklace, which I bought on a whim after seeing it styled in the store. The bracelets are the Sparrow Cuff and a C.Wonder initial cuff. The clutch is actually a wallet/cross-body from Tory Burch that I purchased during the SPRING event. The cross-body strap came in very handy when we were walking around downtown.

The shoes are Talbot’s from a few years ago. They were the worst to wear! The front of the criss-cross strap dug into the top of my toes causing blisters. Husband said the restaurant and theater were near each other when they were actually several blocks from each other. I’ll have to find another pair that are similar, since I really like them.

Despite the shoe issues, I really loved this outfit and the anniversary celebration was wonderful.

I came up with a few outfits, planned all via my Stylebook app. This first one is super casual with Gladiator Flats and a denim jacket. This is actually a great outfit for my trip next week to San Diego. Husband has a work trip and I’m tagging along. What should I do with my time during the day?

I knew I wanted to pair Leopard with this Jumpsuit as well and I already have the Lillian Wedge Sandal in Calf-Hair from J Crew. I love the turquoise-colored stone necklace to bring some unexpected color on top of the black. The Cross-body ties all the colors together.

Of course Espadrilles like the Sevilles from J Crew will work well too. I wore the Metallic Espadrilles in the fitting room and it worked. I think the Bright Citrus from last year will look great with the Jumpsuit too.

Any thoughts on how you would style the Drapey Crepe Oxford Jumpsuit? I’d love to hear them.

I though I would start with one of my very favorites from my fitting room try-ons last week, the Drapey Crepe Oxford Jumpsuit.

~ Drapey Crepe Oxford Jumpsuit, Black, size 6 ~
My VPS added this jumpsuit to my fitting room and it took me completely by surprise. I did not expect to like this so much. The ‘Crepe’ is a Lyocell/Viscose blend and is very comfortable and somewhat soft against the skin. The size 6 fit surprisingly well, with only some hemming in the length needed. The waist is elastic on the side and the jumpsuit has a back zip, hidden. I was not planning on getting into the jumpsuit trend but now I can’t decide if I want another one in the Naples Blue color. I think the black is a nice choice and you can mix and match a lot of jewelry and shoes with it. I bought this and have already worn it. More to come this evening. 
  

This was a nice necklace and helped make a statement with the jumpsuit. It jingled a little and the flowers were a little too bulk for me but overall it’s a nice necklace to jazz up your outfit. 

I did not think this jacket would go with anything, in this Ecru Wash but it paired well with the jumpsuit and I even used it to create an outfit with the Gold Foil Leaf Pencil Skirt. The Medium was the right fit and I found the color flattering against my skin-tone. 

I didn’t buy it that day but am debating as I have a few other items at home that this jacket will go with.

I can’t wait to share my outfit from our Anniversary dinner with you later this evening along with a few other styling ideas for the Drapey Crepe Oxford Jumpsuit. 

Have a Great Day!

This is one of the better roll-outs where I really liked a lot. Of course, most of it is not practical for my lifestyle but it’s nice to add to my wishlist and see if I can grab it on sale.

The Corsica Calf Hair Espadrilles look fun! I don’t know if I can pull off that ankle strap though. It seems like the buckle would rub my ankle bone.

My favorite pair of jeans that I wore for years was a pair gaucho wide-legs from the Gap. I loved them so much and was so sad when I couldn’t fit into them any more. The Rayner Wide-Leg looks just like my beloved Gap pair. I hope they are in-store so I can give them a try.

I want just about everything in that Jungle Print but especially the Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle Print. I see wearing it with white bottoms – shorts, skirt, cropped pants, jeans – to make that color pop on top!

I want to wear the Cropped Silk Popover in Tropical Frond some where fun and tropical, like Miami. But I’m sure I’ll look utterly ridiculous in the cropped top. I’ll probably settle for the bikini top and bottom.

I absolutely LOVE the Punched-Out Eyelet Romper. I originally saw it on Net-a-Porter and there was only a size 8 left that I seriously considered ordering. Then it sold out. Now, it’s on the regular J Crew site. I have to say that it looks better on the Net-a-Porter model than the J Crew model. In the second image it’s like she’s purposely pulling down on the pockets to bring the waistband down to the hips. I have the shorts so I’m good on passing on this romper. I would probably rock some black Espadrille Wedges instead of flat sandals with this.

What made it to your wishlist from this roll-out?

The very first item I added to my shopping cart when new arrivals came out on Monday was the Collection Cropped Linen Wide-Leg Trousers, in Red Clay. But they are excluded from the 30% off promo. These are the one item I attached to quickly and can’t get out of my head. I’m trying to come up with outfits to justify it at full-price. I’m also looking around at other retailers to find something similar but priced a little lower than $248.

I’ll be back with my other picks from the May roll-out later today. What do you think of the Collection Cropped Linen Wide-Leg Trousers?

Unless I really really love something I usually wait until Tory Burch holds one of their “buy-more-save-more” events to purchase what I want. Today starts their Spring Event, and you can get up to 30% off with SPRING.

My picks are a mix of new arrivals and some I’ve tried on that are now on sale. A good pair of white jeans should always be in your closet and I replaced my old pair last year with the Cropped Skinny Jean. The Dani Dress looks so crisp and clean but I don’t really have anywhere to wear it in my current life.
As you can see tops are the bulk of my picks this time. I like the big checks of the Poplin Relaxed Tunic but the arms may be cut a little skinny. I tried the Olympia Tee on back in January and chose the Lou Tee instead. I have worn that several times since I purchased it so it was the right choice at the time. 
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

Of course, I love the Kerrington Tote and this new one in bright polka dots may need to be added to my closet. There’s also a Mini version with a zipper pouch in the center.
I plan on going to the store this evening to try some items on and then make a final decision. Do you have any favorites you are considering from Tory Burch during this sale?
