Not only did I have a reward card burning a hole in my pocket but also a J Crew gift card. I’ve done a major closet clean-out and am now only (trying) to buy items I will know I will wear. I’m really trying to create 3 outfits in my mind when considering buying an item. I’m not consistent with that process yet but I’m getting there.
Rainy Day Utility Jacket in Forest- Size 6 – $188 sale $99.99 – My PS put this in the fitting room for me. I didn’t care for it but it has a hood, fleece lining and a drawstring waist.
Utility Shirtdress – #39623 – Size M – This has a belt, 3/4 sleeves and mandarin collar. It was a little snug for me in the shoulders and upper arms. I’m not in need of a casual dress
No. 2 Pencil Skirt – Citron – Size 6 – I love J Crew pencil skirts and I know this specific color has been loved by many but, unfortunately, I was not one of them. I think it’s the fabric. Or the fact that I would have to alter the hem and I don’t think that the color is for me. The color is more saturated IRL than compared to the online pic. This fit TTS for me.
Floral Tulle Mini – Size 8 – $110 sale $59.99 – This came out a few weeks ago and is already on sale although the website still shows the regular price. I thought it was cute when it came out but I already have too many dresses and skirts for “just that special occasion” that I have not worn or rarely wear. It is a bubble hem but it’s very minimal.
Vintage Cotton Raglan Tee – Size M – $39.50 currently 20% off $31.60 – Good fit…TTS for me
Lunette Mini in Dark Beechwood – Size 8 – This is a cotton sateen and J Crew describes this as a lantern silhouette. It’s tulip to me. The front and back are the same. I like the fit of the 8 because it give a little more length. I prefer the navy color and can’t wait to wear it through the spring and summer!
Dark Navy – Size 6
Camp Pocket Cardigan in Smoldering Brick – Size Medium – $88 Sale $49.99 – Good fit and the pockets are/seem silk but I don’t like that they are right on the girls.
Silk Pocket Tank in Wave Crest – Size 6 – $68 – Not a big fan of this. It’s a little snug in the chest for me.
Hope these pics and comments help.
Looks like you had fun! You are thinking wisely about how to rebuild your wardrobe!!
Looks like you had fun but not much luck! The navy skirt looks really nice on you and I bet you will get tons of use out of that one. I have been doing the same thing about making outfits out of everything and it amazes me how few I can come up with other than jeans. That rule alone has kept my shopping in check this year!
loved the brick color on the camp cardigan but why is the silk pocket a slightly different shade?
it is only this color not the other ones
I do love the citron pencil skirt, I am thinking of buying this with my rewards card. Thanks for the reviews. By the way, you look way toooo young to have a 15 year old son. 🙂
