J Crew has had a promo every day this week with the final promo being 40% off Final Sale with code DAYFIVE. I wanted to share with you a couple of items I have been wearing that are currently included in this promo.

The main item that’s been a constant in my outfits is the Wide-Leg Cropped Jean in both the Lowry Wash and the Odell Wash. I absolutely LOVE these jeans. They are not too wide-leg but feel more like a Boyfriend Fit. I reviewed the Odell Wash here and have two pair of them, having paid $16 for one of the pair during a 60% off promo. Since I loved them so much I wanted a pair that weren’t distressed but still casual so I ordered the Lowry Wash and have rotated them with the two other pair.

I also recently purchased the Thurston Wash and they fit a little more snug and are a little longer than my other pairs. Alas, those were Final Sale so I’ll have to make them work.

 

I’ve been wearing the jeans with Silk Blouses like the Silk Twill Shell in Jungle Print, the Silk Blouse in Cobalt Leopard and an old-school-Crew favorite of mine, the Indigo Silk Blouse. The Odell Wash in show below. 

This is probably my favorite look so far. I can’t wait to add the Factory Wool Blazer over this when it gets a little cooler around here. I paired my new favorite blouse, the Collection Ruffle Pintuck Heart Dot Blouse (found on ebay) with the Lowry Wash, my TB Kerrington Mini Square Tote and some Louboutin Heels.
 

I don’t have any intention of taking these to be hemmed as I wear them rolled up a few times instead. I ordered a second pair of the Lowry Wash bringing my total to 5 pairs of the Wide-Leg Cropped Jean. They come in White as well but I don’t wear my other pair of white jeans enough to buy a second pair that I may not wear.

Skinny jeans have been tossed to the back of the closet for now!

Have a Great Day!

I have been wanting the Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle since it first arrived online several weeks ago. I loved the colors and immediately imagined wearing it with my White Jeans. Of course, it was priced high and sold out quickly. I stalked the site daily once I realized I really did want it, or at least to see the print and colors IRL. Finally, a size 8 popped back and I ordered it at full price. Reviews are mixed with some really loving it or really hating it.

I really love it. The blues and greens with the pop of yellow are so vibrant. The piping along the neckline and down the front is navy blue and not black like I originally thought.

Right now, I’m fitting in the larger of my two sizes of 6 and 8, though some reviewers state to size down. I didn’t find any issues with the chest pulling or the sides billowing out too much or being too large. The front is just a little shorter than the back, but certainly not cropped. 

The material is 100% silk and not lined. I’ve already worn this out for a date night and wasn’t hot at all. I’m sure the sleeveless design helped with that. I think it’s a really nice quality for a Collection item.

Sizes are still popping back online so it seems people are still mixed about the Collection Silk Twill Shell in Jungle. Considering this was a birthday gift to myself, I wanted to be very picky about it, especially because it’s been excluded from all promos. I really love it and the colors and print are lovely. It’s a definite keeper for me!

Have a Great Day!
