Armed with my Give & Get 30% off coupon I went into Old Navy on Friday to take a peek at what they had for summer. I’ve been wanting to add a pair of denim wedges, like these Christian Louboutin, to my wardrobe, along with a green skirt, like this Miu Miu polka-dot one. But my wallet really can’t afford to take hits like that right now.

I was excited when I found what I was looking for and with a % off.

Scalloped eyelet skirt in the green I wanted! (not online yet)
Also came in white.
Canvas Wedge Sandals in Denim
I also bought these in black because I was looking and needing a black sandal/espadrille.
They also come in Gold and White and are very comfy!
And my outfit on Friday.
J Crew Madras Strapless Dress
Old Navy Canvas Wedge Sandals 
I didn’t wear them out of the store but I did change into them as soon as I got in the car!
I also found a white denim jacket. I know, a little 80s, but I can pair it with the dress above (and a few others) as well as the skirt (and a few others).
If you haven’t seen the posts, Gigi’s been to Old Navy recently with some reviews on dresses, jackets and a trench.
Have a great day!

Hi everybody! It’s been a little while hasn’t it? Whew…real life tired me out these last two weeks. We finally had The Boy’s birthday party which Husband and I are finally recovered from. We had NINE!! 15 year-old boys over this past Saturday and Sunday. Counting The Boy made 10 teen-aged boys taking over every room, inside and out, of our house except our Master Suite. And since we weren’t officially crazy by Sunday, we took them to play paintball for 3 hours. I changed clothes into fresh loungewear daily and that was it.

I wasn’t really even in the mood today to get dressed. I had on another outfit but then the dogs started barking and the doorbell rang. I peek outside and it’s my Brown Sancho leaving me a package! Woo Hoo!

Here’s what he brought me.

J Crew Maritime Dress (M)
J Crew Men’s Belt from last year. It doesn’t fit around the waist so I tied it.
J Crew Arène Platform Sandals in Cognac (7)
As soon as I woke up the day after trying on this dress I knew I needed to have it. What was I thinking saying it wasn’t me!?! At that price I can certainly wear it until it hits 80 (which was two days ago by the way) or over 80 and windy. Of course, in two days the dress sold out at my store and the only size left was an XL. So even though it was back-ordered until May I did a little clickety-click and ordered it. Well, it shipped Monday and arrived today! Woo Hoo! I like it better with the sleeves rolled up, but maybe not this high (3 times rolled). What do you think?
These sandals are a great replacement for my Nine West Velas I bought last year in a 6 1/2. I really really wanted them in that specific color and suffer for it everytime I wear them. I love this Cognac color and I like that the Black sandal also has a dark heel and platform. If I get another color it would have to be the gray (even though I need a black sandal). I haven’t worn these for very long yet but I’ll update the post on the comfort factor later.
Have a great day!

Here are a few OOTDs from this week.

Monday – Valentine’s Day – Honestly, Husband and I decided long ago to not celebrate. It’s nice to receive flowers and cards and chocolate but I’d rather have them on a day where he doesn’t seem like he’s forced to do it. Just make it random. Of course, that didn’t stop me from buying a card and for he and The Boy, along with making a nice dinner and having some wine.

Blouse/Corset: Polynya Corset Top in Black Anthropologie
Cardigan: J Crew Factory Store in Dark Peony (I think – DPE)
Skirt: JC Ripple Stripe Pencil Skirt in Black (6)
Shoes: JC Penelope in Black

Tuesday – Shopping with Husband for his Vegas trip. We had some beautiful, 75 degree weather that day.

Blouse: J Crew Silk Sequin Scoopneck – Size Small (look for popbacks)
Jeans: JC Ankle Stretch Toothpick in Cherish Wash – Size 30
Shoes: Prada Leopard Flats

Wednesday in the office – Such a gorgeous dress and it feels great on. It makes me feel great! I was looking for a cardigan to go over it and thought of a lime green or mint color. But then I walked into J Crew and saw the Warm Buttercup Jackie was a PERFECT PERFECT match!

Dress: Take Action by Girls from Savoy Anthropologie – Size 6
Cardigan: J Crew Jackie in Warm Buttercup – Size M
Shoes: J Crew Joley in Twig (I think)

See what I mean!

Have a great evening!

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.
