A little busy around here…just two items for today.
~ Structured Necklace Tee, Medium ~
I grabbed this to try on with the Drapey Wool Sweatpants, below. This top looked small on the hanger so I knew to grab my normal size Medium. This does run TTS and was very comfortable on, with the online description saying it was made of the same cotton/nylon blend as the Pixie Pant. The Ivory was nice but the embellishments looked very cheap to me. Of course, better materials equals higher price, so for the item and ponte material I think it suits the top.
~ Drapey Wool Sweatpant, Heather Indigo, size 6 ~
These have been on my wishlist in the Indigo since I first spotted them in the Style Guide. I was hoping they would fit a little better in the size 6 but they were bunchy in the front and at the bottom. I don’t recall them feeling itchy but not really all that cozy either. I think the 8 Petite might fit a little better in the length but, overall, I’m just going to pass on these and buy some cheap comfy sweatpants to lounge in.
And the outfit…The Excursion Vest in Pin-Stripe was already on sale for $99.99 when I was in the store last Saturday. It looks like online finally caught up with the stores. As of last Saturday all sale was 40% off, no JC Card needed (which is the new promo). Not sure if that switched today for the promo but my guess is it didn’t. I thought I might buy the Vest but decided to pass. I’m just not a fan of the gold hardware and prefer the old style, now Factory, instead.

We are having some wonderful Fall-weather in the mornings and I’ve been taking advantage of it by having my coffee on the patio before starting work. I love it!
Have a Great Day1

Thanks for the reviews. If you're looking for a sweatpant alternative, Boden has the Ponte Roma Trouser that is extremely comfortable. As comfortable as a sweatpant, but it looks better. I did go up one size so that they wouldn't be too tight in the thigh.
CC – Thanks for the Boden tip! I will go check them out. I'd really love to find something like the JC ones, that are more for just around the house.
