So here are some IRL pics from my last post of recent purchases.

J Crew Bici Tee – Size S – I usually take a Medium in the tees but have started to size down with different materials.

Sequined/Beaded spokes

Ann Taylor Tiered Shirt with Grosgrain Trim in Smokey Mauve Yarn, Size MP – A little fitted through the bust but I’ll be wearing a cardi or blazer with this.

J Crew Marled Pullover Hoodie – Size S – I love this hoodie! I can’t wait for the weather to get even remotely cool so I can wear it. It’s so comfy and soft. I missed out on the Marled sweater last year and still regret it. It’s a little tight in the arms for me (but most tops are in a Small) but the Medium was too big. I don’t plan on layering much under this hoodie so the Small is fine.

J Crew Plaid Boyfriend Cardigan – Size Small – There were no Mediums left so I grabbed a Small. Again the tight arms thing but I was not leaving the store without this sweater.

Anthropologie Alma Mater Blazer – Size 6 – Worn with Frances Cami. I love the texture, fit and contrast of this blazer. FREAKING CUTE!

J Crew Bi-Stretch Wool Minnie – Size 6 – I really like the Minnie pants and will be wearing this with a long cardi or sweater and boots.

Have a great evening!

I want to apologize. I have not been in the mood for blogging. September always seems to be the one month I can’t get it together and everything just sucks. But we’re half-way through, right? So forgive me if I don’t finish out the month strong. Ok?

Here’s what I recently purchased when “attempting” to make some returns at J Crew. You all know how that goes right? Especially on “new roll-out” day?

I returned these.

Marled Thandie Blazer 
(I returned this because I love my Alma Mater blazer from Anthropologie. I also recently purchased the J Crew Outlet version of the Eden blazer in Iris and have the Wool Schoolboy Blazer in Redwood that I have yet to wear.)

Matte Jersey Merot Dress 
(I bought this in Mink also and kept that one. $59.99 in store)

And brought home these.

Bici Tee (very cute, spokes are sequined)

Bi-Stretch Wool Minnie Pant in Cobblestone ($59.99 in store)

Marled Pullover Hoodie

Plaid Boyfriend Cardigan

Then I stopped by Ann Taylor to see if they had the matching belt to my Perfect Pumps in Porcini. They did.

And I also bought the Tiered Shirt with Grosgrain Trim in Smokey Mauve Yarn to get 25% off. I really wanted another pair of their Perfect Pumps but don’t need them so I held off.

Have a great day!

P.S. – I had a “mini-stop” at the J Crew Outlet on Sunday and saw they had the “Paris Tee” the “All Spice” Tee (from this post) and the Flower Sketch Tee in Olive Moss. All direct from the retail store and not an “outlet” version. I don’t recall pricing, sorry, but there was a % off all tees.

I saw this jacket in the store and knew immediately I loved it. I took several items into the fitting room but I liked this the best.

Anthropologie Alma Mater Jacket

IRL pics to come after I get through this weekend. Having a 60th birthday party for my dad on Sunday and at least 60 people coming over.

I am crazy.

It’s now habit to swing by the J Crew Factory Store every time I’m in the area. I’m glad I did. I found some Retail favorites I missed out on. I did not see or find the Lace Cami Dina blogged about here. That was the first thing I looked for. I have seen Collection pieces before at that outlet so I was really hoping to find it. I have added the name, style number and price on most of the pics. I was able to take all of them with flash (I asked to be placed in the “big” dressing room which is also in the back.)

Everything had either a percent or dollar off but I don’t remember. I did buy some of these so I’ll check my receipt later and update the post.
Tees – I didn’t try these on but did snap some pics.

Two Dogs Tee

Embroidered Flowers Tee – The original came in ivory. The Warm Blush is pretty.

Rooster Tee

Celosia Cardigan (I can’t remember if this cotton or merino wool but I did buy it so I’ll update later.)
This came in Cinnamon Spice, Navy, Burnished Olive and two other colors that I can’t remember.

Silk Tiered Cami – This came in Ivory, Black, Blackberry (rich purple color), and Black Floral Print.
This is a Size 4.

Rose Skirt (I don’t know the name of the original print of this. Wasn’t it a dress?)
Size 6

Blushed Tweed Pencil Skirt – Size 6

Viscose Tango Top – This is the light pink color (and the only one I didn’t take with flash).
Size Small – This came in Dark Grey, Light Grey, Cream and Pink and was $5.00 off.

Paisley Tunic – Once I realized it wasn’t the Perfect shirt I wasn’t too interested in it.

Ikat Dot Pencil Skirt – I think this was cotton. I need to start taking pics of the material tag too.
Size 6

Velvet Eden Blazer – I missed out on this color and have been wanting it badly. It’s such a rich purple. The outlet had this in the Dusty Blossom and Navy. The lining is navy but doesn’t have a contrast trim. This was also 40% off.
Size 6

Hope you are enjoying your weekend! I’m gathering items to post a blog sale in the next few days so watch for that!
