I’m a little drawn to Green and Navy this Spring and have made a few purchases in those colors recently from the J Crew Factory. Most of the new arrivals were in-store and I had received the “Factory First” email as well allowing me to preview and buy. It was perfect timing because I could see what I wanted immediately.
J Crew Factory Exploded Eyelet Mini, Navy, Sz 8 – I have been thinking of a Navy skirt for this Spring/Summer and the Eyelet Mini is perfect. I was looking for something more A-line but not having any luck. For the price, plus and additional 20% off if I spend $125 I decided I could settle for this.
J Crew Factory Sailboat Tee, Sz Medium – How adorable cute is the Sailboat Graphic tee? I see it paired with my Kate Spade White Skirt and some espadrilles or sandals. A different nautical look from the Anchor we’ve been seeing everywhere.
JCF Linen-Cotton Mini Skirt, Festival Green, Sz 8 – I have several of the retail versions of the City Mini but loved the Green immediately. It’s a linen-cotton blend but that makes it feel a little thicker and hopefully it won’t wrinkle as quickly. It’s also lined in Cotton.
JCF Sequin Lemon Tee, Sz Medium – This was too cute to pass up and will look great with the City Mini’s I have along with the Clare Cardigan in Festival Green.
JCF Clare Cardigan, Fesitval Green Sz Medium; Navy, Sz Small – I’ve already worn the green cardigan. I really needed a Navy cardigan and it was either a Small or Large as they were almost sold out in-stores.
I’ve decided this will be my color story for our Family’s trip to NEW YORK CITY this Summer!!! I’m trying to be very practical in my packing list but here’s what I have so far.
My Pinterest Board is just as bad. I can’t seem to pare down anything yet. And June will be here soon enough. My biggest dilemma is walking shoes. I will not be wearing Birkenstock’s this time. I can do well in a flat, like the J Crew Cece Flats as well as Espadrilles. Also, I won’t have much time to shop either. Gasp! Husband will probably give me half a day so I’d like to know the best area that will have what I like. I don’t necessarily need to buy anything at J Crew or Anthropologie but to see those stores in NYC will be different than seeing them here, in SATX.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Audrey – I'm just now catching up and wanted to offer you my deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad. It's never easy losing a loved one, I hope you are doing ok.
I live in NY and have hit all the JC and Anthropologie stores, lol! While each location has its own NYC vibe, I think you might enjoy the stores at Rockefellar Center, which is a block from 5th Avenue… Stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney's New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Tiffany's. You have to hit the shoe salon at Saks, it's so big it has its own zip code! There are also stores like Ann Taylor, Banana, H&M righ there, and Madison Ave. is only a block away for the designer shops. NY is fabulous and I know you will love it.
Audrey, Hope you are hanging in there, and that your son(and your family) are too. Thanks for the review. I like those minis, but unfortunately, I am too tall(and old) to carry it off. Would you mind telling me how big a seam the skirts had incase I could purchase and lengthen? Thank you!
Those skirts are South Texas spring perfect! Great selections, Audrey!
I love your color story for NY. I hope you're able to hit a few stores. You will do well in the Cece flats. I've been pushing them around daily, stroller & all.
Hi, Audrey, for convenience in shopping in NYC, try lower Fifth Avenue, from 15th Street to, oh, say, 23rd Street. JC, Madewell, Anthro, plus a lot of others, all almost on top of one another. Happy planning!
