I am so totally copying Kendi with my Black and Blue outfit but the two colors together are fabulous. I have been looking for just the right chunky sweater and found it in the Men’s section of J Crew Factory last month. I ordered a Small in the Fisherman Cable Crewneck Sweater and it’s just big enough to be loose and slouchy but still fit nicely. Sadly, it has since sold out but you can find a similar one here, here and here. My Madewell Striped Pleat Skirt finally came out to play as well and I finished my look with my Harper Boots.

I loved this outfit so much I wore it a few days later for a evening of Christmas shopping. I am not done and am spending the rest of today trying to finish so I can wrap all weekend. How did Christmas sneak up so quickly?

A lovely little J Crew box came Monday from my favorite brown Sancho. A few items that I didn’t mind paying full price for and a non-final sale sweater.

Jardin Skirt – Tropical Cove, 8 – I knew I was going to get this skirt in this color, it was just a matter of when. The Jardin Skirt is one of my favorites from 2011 and this color of blue is so lovely, I can’t seem to get enough of it, as you’ll see below.

9″ Chino Short – Bright Green, 8 – I always get at least one of the new colors of the 9″ or Bermuda shorts each year. This is the same color as the Boardwalk Cargo Short from last year. Such a pretty green and I quite like it with my dots I wore Monday.

French Dove Graphic Tee – Casablanca Blue, M – Again, my new favorite blue color. This has an embroidered red heart at the bottom of the tee.

Fisherman Sweater – Byzantine Blue, M – I have this in Beechwood from 2011 and love it. I hope this color is in my store because though the Medium fits, I would like to try the Small. I did get this with the 30% off, since it was moved to a promo price of $78 last week. You can now get it with the 40% off, since it is still on promo. It was removed from promo this morning. Hope some of you were able to get it yesterday.

Have you tried any of these items?
