Hey there! How crazy is it that we are in mid-February already? Mother Nature is being coy with Winter in South Texas. We finally had a teeny little cold spell that allowed me to layer and wear my newest purchase.

I have not been able to get the Schoolboy Blazer in Neon Pink out of my mind. I went to my store a few days later and there were only 3!!!! left. I couldn’t believe it. They’ve since re-stocked but apparently it’s a pretty popular color.

On Friday, I wore it with an older ‘Crew cardigan that doesn’t see much love and my Navy Check Perfect Shirt. (My boots don’t match but I wanted to wear them and not my black ones.)

Stretch Perfect Shirt in Navy Check, 8
Cotton Argyle Cardigan, M
GAP Essential Jeans
Anthropologie Pebbled and Primped Boots

Schoolboy Blazer in Herringbone, Neon Pink, 8
I added an older J Crew navy and white striped jersey scarf for some neck warmth. I received a lot of compliments on Friday when I wore this. I really am pleased with this purchase and can’t wait to wear it again. 
Have a Great evening!

Tuesday we finally had our first hint of Fall weather. Temps dropped to the 70s! So not only did I wear a sweater but also some boots. Yes, probably a little over-kill for today but I couldn’t contain my excitement over the cool air. I finally was able to wear one of my Missoni for Target items.

Cardigan as outerwear: Missoni for Target Long Cardigan
Sweater: J Crew Silkspun in Toasted Honey
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Stretch Toothpick
Boots: Pebbled and Primped Boots

The yellow in the cardigan is almost an exact match to the The Toasted Honey sweater.

Have a great day!

I realize now I have been wearing a uniform since last week…button down shirt, sweater, ankle toothpick jeans and boots. I’ll throw on a blazer if it’s a little chilly and I have to run to the store. I have two pair if the jeans and I do everything but sleep in them. Absolutely love them.

Here are yesterday and today’s outfit. I even did similar plaid shirts. I’m so predictable sometimes.

All items J Crew
Factory Eden Blazer in Plum
Cashmere V-Neck Sweater
Candy Plaid Perfect Shirt in Sweet Moss
Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans
Anthro Pebbled & Primped Boots

All items J Crew
Sommers Plaid Perfect Shirt in Periwinkle
Saturday Sweater in Marled Bronzed Avocado (Sz Small)
Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans
Short Chalet Boots in Desert Brown

Sommers Plaid Perfect Shirt – Size 8 – Again, I have to accommodate my shoulders and upper arms so I always wear an 8 in the Perfect Shirts. This has some pretty colors in it and I have many sweaters and cardigans to wear with it.

Saturday Sweater – This is very soft and runs big. I normally wear a Medium to accommodate my shoulders and upper arms but the small was loose and slouchy and soft (I said that right?). The Marled Pulp Alabaster looks more like a Citron or bright yellow and not so pastel or light like the online pic. I may order the Marled Bluegrass. The color looks so pretty.

Have a great evening. I’ll have some more J Crew reviews tomorrow.

We’ve had some pretty cold days this week. I’m glad today is going to be a beautiful 60 degree day. I had to head in to my office on Tuesday and as much as I wanted to “work-wear” my Lolli pants I knew I would be cold so I decided to layer with my new cashmere tee.

Shirt: J Crew Factory Store Two-Pocket Chambray Shirt (32043)
Sweater: J Crew Cashmere Tee in Henna
Jeans: J Crew Ankle Stretch Toothpick
Boots: Pebbled and Primped
Necklace: J Crew Knotted Twist Necklace

I stayed in and warm on Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday I was ready to put on real clothes and decided on a repeat of Tuesday.

Shirt: JC FS Chambray Shirt (again)
Sweater: JC Cashmere Tee in Bronzed Olive
Jeans: JC Ankle Stretch Toothpick
Boots: Steve Madden Inragee
Scarf: JC

We had a teeny bit of snow on Friday. It stuck to the cement and hard surfaces but not the grass.

Bella’s not too sure she really needs to go potty.

And finally – I want to wish a wonderful Happy Birthday to my son David (aka The Boy). He’s 15 today and I’m so happy and proud to have raised a wonderful young man. He is my life.

I’m off to cook for the birthday festivities. I still owe you Anthro pics and JC Factory Store pics too. I hope to have them up or ready to post tomorrow evening.

Have a great day!
