Some friends had a dinner party a few weeks ago and the dress was casual. I had to work in the office that day and it was a Friday.

For work, I paired the Linen Dot Sweater, my old White Express jeans, Tory Burch Sandals, finishing off the look with the cute J Crew Elephant necklace.

For dinner, I switched out my top and shoes for the J Crew Grenada Palm Cami and my Hunter sandals. 

I love my casual dinner outfit. The Grenada Palm Cami is one of my favorites. Though I was a little over-dressed with a silk top, I prefer this casual look over a tee, shorts and flip-flops (J Crew of course). 

Have a Great Day!

Burgandy/Wine/Oxblood seems to the IT color this Fall. I picked up the J Crew Double-Serge Cotton Pencil skirt over the Summer. I added the Silk French Hen shirt looking more at the Navy/Burgandy pairing than the actual print. I wore this to the office last week and no one seemed to notice my little Chick-a-dees. My trusty Louboutin Simple 70s in Navy finished the outfit.
I ended up removing the necklace and bracelet as they didn’t look right with the outfit, once I took the picture. Funny how everything looks ok in the mirror but in pictures it can be completely different.
How are you wearing your Burgandy?

I jumped on the site this morning and found something interesting. Someone may have pulled the trigger a little early on adding new pictures to the various category headers. And I like some of what I see.

Though the copy states this is a Colorblock Boatneck Top under the Knits and Tees Category, the picture shows a Sequined Polka Dot Tee. Yes, please. And, if you click on it you will be taken to the Colorblock Boatneck Tee.
The Martina Wedge in a Mint…Love!
A gorgeous skirt with some contrast piping…and look at the cute cardigan!
No, this is not a picture of the Stovepipe Trousers under the Pants Category. But, if you didn’t like the French Hen Sweater then how about a cute doggie? 
I hope this cute sweater is not Dream.
Mint Hacking Jacket!!!!
A gorgeous watercolor dress that can transition to Spring.
And this pretty plaid scarf is not the French Hen Scarf but I like the colors.
So, I wonder when we will get to see some of these new items online or in-store? Some are piquing my interest after a lackluster rollout the last two times.

The Jules Dress is probably one of my favorites from J Crew. Though it could be longer the shift silhouette is great for me. I find this dress is perfect for date nights with Husband. Since The Boy seems to be making us practice being “empty-nesters” before our time I am taking advantage of it. The Jules is great to just throw on, slip on some heels and grab a clutch and go. I have it in the Wildact, Fanfare and Stripe Silk Twill. I prefer the size 6 in this as the 8 only adds bulk and not length. 

OK, yes it’s short…so no dancing all crazy in this dress, or lifting my arms up above my head.
This is partially lined, in the body only, not the sleeves.
The J Crew Babette Heels pair nicely with the dress. The bronze is almost an exact match in the dress.
I know because of the length most will either pass or treat it as a tunic. But from what I’ve seen, despite less than stellar reviews, the Jules always seems to sell out when it hits sale. So some people are liking it.
I decided on this instead of the Origami Dress from my Fall Shopping list. I know I’ll wear this more often than the Origami, especially when it’s paired with tights and boots and this dress is more me. Also, the print reminds me of the Terra Paisley print from a few years ago. 2009 maybe? I had the skirt but sold it because I needed a bigger size but stil haven’t found one. I’d love to see this in a pencil skirt. Wouldn’t that be gorgeous?
So, do you like it or will you be passing on this dress?
