I was immediately drawn to the Vintage Violet color of the Vintage Matchstick Cords. These pants are such a pretty light purple color. I had an issue with the length, even at the “short” inseam of 30 inches. I finally found an alterations place that is good and inexpensive so I had these altered to go with flats. They are now perfect.
J Crew: Jackie Cardigan in Pacific & Maraschino Cherry, Vintage Matchstick Cords, Toile Scarf, Natasha Blouse in Leopard,Stretch Vintage Bootcut Cords, No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Royal Paisley
My order finally arrived today from the 25% off at J Crew last week. As much as I wanted to order more, I didn’t NEED to order anything. Even now, I’ve perused the sale section and there’s nothing I need, have-to-have, or like/love. It seems kind of blah right now. I’m sure once more Holiday arrivals come in there will be another big push to sale.
Anyway, here’s what came from my Brown Sancho (aka the UPS man).
Two Jackies – Pacific and Maraschino Cherry – I didn’t like the Pacific blue color IRL. I don’t have a color like it in my closet but nothing came to mind when I tried to style it in my head so it will go back. As for the Maraschino Cherry, the red is pretty and I’ll think about it for a while. Naturally, it will be great to pull out and wear during Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Vintage Matchstick Cords – Vintage Violet – Such an beautiful color.
A new Natasha blouse in a Leopard print. Love it! – $98, Color SAV, #60637
Stretch Vintage Bootcut Cords – $69.50 (promo), Color DAT Deep Atlantic, #50025 (This color is not online.)
No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Royal Paisley – ABC was so right about this skirt. It has so many colors and goes with so many things. See her posts here and here about styling and colors. And I love that both the skirt and lining are cotton. I can wear this into Spring and possibly early Summer.
