Just when I think I can quit J Crew, or cut back at least, they roll-out some things I really want. Quite a bit made it to my wishlist from Tuesday’s roll-out. The freaking gingham and so many items to choose. Just so cute, but is it too cute for me? I’ll have to try some on in-store to find out. Since I’m still adding to my wishlist at J Crew, let’s first take a look at what I’ve purchased.
Notice a theme? I’m purchasing for my trip. We’re off to Tokyo, Singapore and then Thailand! I’m really excited since I was pretty bummed that I couldn’t go on “they boys trip” two years ago. And, though we have a pool, I’ve been patiently waiting for my next beach trip.
The Silk Cap-Sleeve Top in Midnight Bloom was too pretty to pass up. I’m hoping the color isn’t too sheer for my skin-tone. One thing I really did need were some good basic shorts. I have always loved the Summerweight Lightweight Bermuda Shorts and mine were fading after 6 years of constant wear (2009 versions) so I bought navy, white, and khaki. I also wanted a nice gray pair of shorts and ordered the 4-inch Chino Short in Storm Grey.
I also need a good cover-up that’s also lightweight. I think the Lightweight Linen Tunic in Hydrangea White will do nicely. Having ordered and return these cover-up tunics in the past, I ordered a Small. I think I could use an XS but we will see when it arrives next week. After ordering the Heathered Wool-Cashmere Blend Scarf I worried it might be too warm for the beach. It will be fine for Tokyo since it’s Spring-like weather and not humid. I may look to add this scarf from the Factory store.
The Plaid Espadrille is just darling. I love love the print originally wanting to get the Sloan Flat, then trying to figure out how to wear the Elsie or these sandals regularly. Unfortunately, the Knotted Slide is not my style of shoe.
And I finally bought those darn Betty Sunglasses. I just could not stop thinking about them. I hope I like them as much as I’ve been thinking I will.
Do you also notice a color story? I’m trying to stick with shades of blue with a little grey and white thrown in so they’ll all mix and match well.
Happy Shopping!
Loving the colour story for your trip. Also the addition of that super pretty silk top. And the plaid espadrilles- they’re so good.
Happy packing up! I just love planning my trip suitcase all of the anticipation is really part of the fun. 🙂
I’ve been waiting for a good printed Tippi for YEARS it feels like… just waiting for a promo to get the gingham one and hoping I can figure out the correct size with the new design.
Oh, I love your choices for the trip thus far! The Midnight Bloom print is my favorite from all of the rollouts this year, I think. Love that scarf color, gorgeous.
Funny you mentioned the Betty sunglasses — I felt the same way about the Jill aviators — couldn’t stop thinking about them in the gold rose color so they came home with me this weekend, wee!
Excited for your trip, sounds like it will be a blast!
You will look great in the silk print top. I receive the Betty sunglasses on Tues. Can’t wait to see what they look like on. Have a really great trip!!
