Indigo Silk Blouse – Life is Short…Buy the Shoes

J Crew has had a promo every day this week with the final promo being 40% off Final Sale with code DAYFIVE. I wanted to share with you a couple of items I have been wearing that are currently included in this promo.

The main item that’s been a constant in my outfits is the Wide-Leg Cropped Jean in both the Lowry Wash and the Odell Wash. I absolutely LOVE these jeans. They are not too wide-leg but feel more like a Boyfriend Fit. I reviewed the Odell Wash here and have two pair of them, having paid $16 for one of the pair during a 60% off promo. Since I loved them so much I wanted a pair that weren’t distressed but still casual so I ordered the Lowry Wash and have rotated them with the two other pair.

I also recently purchased the Thurston Wash and they fit a little more snug and are a little longer than my other pairs. Alas, those were Final Sale so I’ll have to make them work.

I’ve been wearing the jeans with Silk Blouses like the Silk Twill Shell in Jungle Print, the Silk Blouse in Cobalt Leopard and an old-school-Crew favorite of mine, the Indigo Silk Blouse. The Odell Wash in show below.

This is probably my favorite look so far. I can’t wait to add the Factory Wool Blazer over this when it gets a little cooler around here. I paired my new favorite blouse, the Collection Ruffle Pintuck Heart Dot Blouse (found on ebay) with the Lowry Wash, my TB Kerrington Mini Square Tote and some Louboutin Heels.

I don’t have any intention of taking these to be hemmed as I wear them rolled up a few times instead. I ordered a second pair of the Lowry Wash bringing my total to 5 pairs of the Wide-Leg Cropped Jean. They come in White as well but I don’t wear my other pair of white jeans enough to buy a second pair that I may not wear.

Skinny jeans have been tossed to the back of the closet for now!

Have a Great Day!

Here’s the J Crew Casbah Dress. This is my new favorite print and I love the green jewel tones.

Size 8

It is a side zip and has and extra zip for the bust paneling. I’ll try to get a shot of it later. I tried a belt right under the bust but it didn’t look great, IMO. There is pleating right under the center of the bust which gives it that “float away from the body” look as well as the “I may be pregnant” look. It will be good when hiding “food babies” too.

I also bought the scarf in this print. Even though it’s wool it is very lightweight and sheer/thin. Texas seems to have skipped Spring and jumped right into Summer (92 today!) so I may not have a chance to wear this outside until next Fall.

This is what I wore today. It’s our wedding anniversary and Husband and I spent the day together by having breakfast, getting our free coffee, and getting massages, facials and pedicures. Here’s the new Anthropologie Apothecary Skirt. There are so many colors in this print but they all go well together. Also, this buttons down the front, just like the J Crew Dorrie Skirt. While at Anthropologie last night I spotted and met Molly, from AnthroMollogies! It was so cool to meet another blogger in person for the first time. And she is so nice and stylish in person!
