I mentioned in this post that I bought some items on sale and using a discount code from J Crew. They arrived yesterday and I’m pretty happy with my purchases.

Surf Tweed Charter Skirt – I have this in the Linen in the Light Citron color. I sized up and still love the fit. A little bit looser and lower on the hip, but not a whole lot. 

Coral Reef Tank in Ivory – I wish this had been available in the Olive Green when I bought this. I don’t really need another white cami. But, it is very pretty and will go with several skirts in my closet.

Not a tucker-inner…There are two dangle-y ribbons on the side. 

Torque Moto Cardigan in Navy – I really like this cardi. I can’t wear it now – I was sweating bullets just this morning when taking the pics – but I can’t wait until the first cool breeze.

Sequin Starland Tank in Neon Quartz – I wanted to really like this cami/tank. Sadly, the stupid side zipper won out. It can’t be tucked in at all, unless I wear some Spanx and tuck it into those. I had so many options for this tank. 🙁

Pretty
Yucky (right side) side zipper

So that one is going back. I’ll take it to the store and maybe they will have something I like. Other than the Silk Ripple Dress in Navy there’s nothing I really care for in the new arrivals (at full price, of course).

Here’s what I’m wearing today.

 
Shirt: J Crew Gingham in Purple 
Shorts: J Crew Bermuda (2009)
Shoes: Nada (It’s summer.)

Have a great day!!

I ordered the Pineapple Punch Silk Tunic last week since I needed a ride-along and really liked what I saw online.

J Crew’s Description: Fresh and elegant all at once, a chic throw-on-and-go tunic made from sumptuous silk habotai with exquisite design details, like long blouson sleeves and shirring along the neckline. In a luxurious beachy-chic tropical print. Functional buttons at cuffs. Hidden on-seam pockets. Comes in XS to XL and is $88.00.

I love the silk. The design is so pretty. So are the colors. And they are correct in their description “long blouson sleeves’. Really long. Anticipating it would run big and loose and since I knew it was a cover-up I ordered a small instead of a Medium. I should have sized to an X-Small.

It has POCKETS! OMG! I love that!

See the sleeves. Down to the middle of my hand.
Oh well. I tried it and it didn’t work out. It’s crazy to wear long sleeves in this Texas weather anyway. Size way down if you do want this. I’ll wait until a sale and re-consider it then.
Have a great evening!

Two days in a row is pretty good for me right now. I’ll be so glad when the weekend is here. I will be completely vegging out.

Here’s today’s outfit.

Blouse: Liberty of London for Target
Skirt: J Crew Indigo Skirt
Belt: J Crew Burnished Leather Belt
Shoes: Ann Marino (TJ Maxx)

Readers – I’ve been so busy I haven’t been very good about getting dressed for the day. I’ve been all about the shorts and tees. (But not Nike shorts. Those are for working out only.)

I’ve been waiting to wear this skirt since I purchased it and actually tried on this shirt with the skirt in the store. One of the make SA’s gave me the same color belt, but skinny, to try with it.

Tee: J Crew
Skirt: J Crew Wildcat Ombre Pencil Skirt
Belt: Forever 21
Shoes: Miss Sixty
The shirt is the Vintage Cotton Tee and is truly NEON PINK. It doesn’t really look that way in the pics but trust me. I was glowing without a black-light. I do like the belt with it and Husband actually liked the whole outfit, which is not normal. The only part I don’t really like are the shoes. I’m still on the hunt for some black sling-back heels of some kind.
Have a great day!

I sure do. Especially when you have been waiting for a specific skirt or shirt to reach that sale price, whatever it might be, so long as it is not anywhere near the full price.

J Crew has updated their sale section and I finally was able to grab the Surf Tweed Charter Skirt for $79.99 (not including the 20% off) down from $138.

I also purchased the Coral Reef Tank in Ivory ($39.99 from $110).

The Torque Moto Cardigan in Navy ($39.99 from $118).
AND, the Sequin Starland Tank in Neon Quartz ($99.99 from $138). I know this has been on sale for a while but I finally pulled the trigger with the 20% off so it was actually $79.99.
Happy Shopping!
