I was pretty happy last week with everything I picked out to wear for my Capsule Remix. I realized that I need to include an additional top, as a back-up, in case one is not easily laundered (i.e.-Dry Clean Only). I usually know ahead of time what the plans are for the week and if we have anything scheduled for the weekend. Last week, though, I originally was not scheduled to go in to the office on Friday, but luckily I had already planned out to wear my favorite outfit.

For this week’s remix, I have to plan around the weather. We already dropped to the 60s and had quite a bit of rain. My original plan was shorts and skirt but I have changed that to jeans and pants along with long-sleeve blouses and a few lightweight sweaters. Everything this week is J Crew, except the White Denim Jeans.

Lest you think I’ve stopped shopping during this remix, I have some Mother’s Day finds from The Limited, Banana Republic and Anthropologie coming up this week!

Did you hear???? J Crew now has REVIEWS online! Will you take advantage of that new feature? 

Shoes-day #2!

The J Crew Factory Isabelle Printed Bow Pumps sold out pretty quickly upon arrival to the website but is now back in full stock, though Final Sale.

I ordered my normal size 7 and they are a perfect fit. I think these will work nicely into my Capsule Remixes, especially during Black and White week. 
They have a man-made sole and lining but the lining is padded very well. These are definitely a keeper. 
Have a Great Evening!

I was doing some last minute Prom purchases (dark socks, t-shirt, small card wallet, etc) and headed to Nordstrom Rack for those little things. I grabbed them first and then headed over to the Shoe section. There are always lots of new lovelies to check out.

I first spotted the Coach Juanita Flip-Flops {pin} which are very casual and super comfortable. They have extra padding in the heel and ball of the foot. I get Coach shoes here and there but showing off the “Signature” always seemed weird to me. This time it’s very subtle compared to an all-over print on a loafer or flat. They were $40 and seemed like a good price for something I’ll wear around the house or slip on last minute to run to the grocery store. They’ll get lots of use this Summer and hopefully beyond if they are as comfortable as they look for long periods of time.

I saw a few Tory Burch shoes I liked but not any in my size 7. That is, until I was leaving the store and saw a separate display of just TB shoes. There, I found the Alexa Flat Sandal. I had my eye on them last Summer but was never able to purchase them. There was not a size 7 available so I tried a 6 1/2 to see if I needed to size up or not. I ended up sizing to a 7 1/2 and probably should have gotten the 8. The strap is really short and I could only buckle it on the last hole. I may need to punch one more in for them to be a little more comfortable. I read a review on the Saks website that spoke of the short strap so this shoe wasn’t an exception. 
Last year they were offered in a tan/brown as well as the Navy. Nordstrom Rack only had the Navy available for purchase. They just buckle and are not uncomfortable or tight but I’m hoping the strap stretches just a bit. 

My store had lots of Winter Clearance available but I find that very frustrating to sort through even though there are some great deals to be had. Plus it was a Saturday so the store was a little crazy.

Have a Great Day!

The Boy’s Prom was over the weekend and there were plans to meet at a local hotel for pictures. He went with a very large group that rented a large bus for the night. I wasn’t quite able to stick to my outfit remix plan for Saturday as my Zora Tee was dirty. I subbed in my Ruffled Rhinestone Top and new Tory Burch Alexa Sandals I found at Nordstrom Rack.

Here are a few pictures from the evening. The Boy had a great time and I didn’t cry ;-).

WooHoo! Today is Haircut Day! I have been so busy I’ve had to cancel and reschedule my appointment three times. I’m committed to today though. My hair has stayed pretty healthy but gotten really thick. It’s been almost 12 weeks since my last cut. I missed the window to get highlights so I’ll have to wait until Fall for that.

  
This is one of my favorite outfits I’ve ever put together. This time I changed out the shorts for jeans and sandals for wedges. I don’t know if it’s the colors or the blouse and blazer or what but I could wear a version of this every day. That’s another reason for this Capsule Remix; finding my true style and what I really love to wear. Right now, these jeans, wedges and blazer are at the top of the list.
