This next outfit is not one I put together and none of the pieces caught my eye online during the new rollout. But, my VPS put these in my fitting room since she knows my style is more casual than most.
This scarf feels quite larger than the normal scarves J Crew has had in the past. There are already quite a few larger scarves in-store and online. They are also a thicker wool, for added warmth. This one felt cozy and soft on. I like the buffalo check in navy and white as well but I have so many scarves already I passed on this one. The jeans are the Vintage Cropped Jean in Rinse Wash. and the loafers are the Darby in Calf-Hair Leopard. I am loving the Collins Tortoise Loafer. I was just wishing I had a pair similar to the Ferragamo Driving Moccasins Dani posted on her latest Frock Philosophy post about her Autumn Color Story.
~ Plush Fleece Excursion Vest, Navy, Small ~
I am not a fan of this furry vest but my VPS put it in the dressing room anyway. And she hit the nail on the head when I couldn’t figure out why I didn’t like it. It looks like a Muppet, and the Golden Hickory looks just like Fozzy Bear’s fur, wacka-wacka. But I’ll move on.
I wear a Small in Excursion Vests and still have plenty of room to layer underneath them. This one fits no differently than my Retail and Factory versions. The pockets have zippers and not buttons. I don’t close my pockets so I don’t see the need for either. This does feel a little thicker than the other excursion vests so if layered under a coat it might do well in helping keep you warm.
~ Shrunken Boy Shirt in Emerald Buffalo Check, size 6 ~
I noticed immediately how well this shirt fit me and didn’t know it was a size 6 until after I took it off. Now that I see the pic, I can tell that it’s a size 6 since the material looks tight around the arms. But it didn’t feel that way when it was on.
But just to be safe I would get the size 8 in this, my normal shirt size. I like the feel of the Shrunken Boy Shirt as well. The description is not lying. It is a lightweight flannel and super soft. It almost came home with me, it felt that nice.
Am I the only one who thinks the Plush Fleece Excursion Vest reminds me of a Muppet?
