So here’s Day 2. Very super casual with a tee, jean and barefoot.

Tee: J Crew Imperial Tee
Jeans: GAP Destructed Boyfriend
Belt: Lucky Brand

The I had to run some errands and added the cardi and shoes.

Cardigan: J Crew Factory Primrose Cardigan (Factory cardi is cotton not merino)
Shoes: Steve Madden Trouser

Day 3 – Had an appointment today so I’m dressy casual. (Is that a style of dressing?)

Shirt: J Crew Factory L/S Stretch Perfect Shirt
Jeans: GAP Curvy
(I couldn’t find my Essential Jeans **dirty** so I swapped these in. I’ll keep these in the rotation and leave out the Essential. I just wanted a basic dark jean to wear with heels. This pair isn’t too good for flats like my Essential but they’ll do.)
Heels: Ann Taylor Perfect Pump
Necklace: J Crew

I just wanted to share how great the shirt is with the Gray color of the J Crew Sunnie Pencil Skirt.

Have a great evening!

Here’s what I wore today while working from home and making TWO trips (yes two) to J Crew. That 30% off sweaters plus the “red” card was too good to pass up!

Confession: I cheated with the pics which were taken a few weeks ago. But I did wear this same outfit again today.

Cami: Tucker for Target
Cardigan: J Crew Jackie in Pearl (LOVE this color. So versatile.)
Jeans: GAP Boyfriend Distressed
Shoes: Louboutin Flat Mary Janes

As you can see the outfit looked better with the cardi buttoned rather than open. (Sorry for the plain, non-smile face. I did have a good day.)
I hope to get back into the groove of the blog again. I do have some work outfits from last week I will be posting along with my “red” card haul.
Have a great evening!

So I’ve already broken my ban (thanks ebay sellers) but I found the most wonderful shoe I had to have it! More on those in a minutes.

I’ve not been anywhere since hubby’s been home on short-term leave due to his injury. No great outfits to post. Just shorts and tees and tanks and bathing suits. BUT today he had a doctor’s appt and I got to wear real clothes! I got ready in 20 minutes, including shower and light makeup. Pretty speedy and all before coffee.

Here’s what I wore:
J Crew Slub Twisted V-Neck in Olive Green
GAP distressed jeans
J Crew Leopard flip-flops
J Crew Grasshopper necklace
Lucky Brand belt

I love this Tee. It’s so comfy and my favorite color is green. I found the grasshopper necklace on ebay after I lost it in my shopping cart on J Crew. The jeans are a recent purchase from the GAP. I have a pair of the J Crew Vintage Slim distressed that I had altered shorter but they just don’t fit right on me. None of the J Crew jeans do.

I so wanted a pair of the Toothpick but I have my father’s legs and they were built for sports not jeans. I can’t buy normal boots. My calves are almost 15 inches and I always have to try them on to make sure they zip! Zip up past my calf! I’ve broken plenty of zippers. And my thighs, well we won’t even talk about them. They look great when toned but I can’t fit into a pair of “skinny” or “straight-leg” jeans to save my life without going 2 or more sizes up.

So, unfortunately, J Crew jeans are not my thing. But these GAP jeans (size 6A) are perfect. I love them. Most GAP jeans fit well on me but their Ankle size is almost always 2 inches longer than I need for flats. These were not and look great rolled up. I bought two pair. Yippee!

Now on to my next favorite purchase that helped break my ban on shopping. Shoes of course. Christian Louboutin to be exact. Love the guy. Love the shoes the guy makes and these are gorgeous and practical!

Mary Jane Peep-Toe FLAT! In Navy Blue

Oh I love these and can’t wait to wear them out. I think they look good with the rolled up jean too! The color is hard to find as well as this particular shoe style. Mary Jane shoes are a weakness for me and combine that with Christian Louboutin, well, just take my wallet, I give.

Find a pair of shoes you love and buy two!
