We traveled to visit The Boy last weekend at college and I packed some items I couldn’t wait to wear. Unfortunately, I only took a pic of this outfit, but it was one of my favorites. Even Husband liked it with all it’s crazy pattern mixing. He really liked the skirt, I think the flare is what he thought was flattering.

Happy Momma!
I hadn’t seen him in over 6 weeks but he did not change any. He’s doing good and involved in various activities. I was a little concerned that he would be really homesick since none of his friends are at the same college or even nearby but I shouldn’t have worried. He’s made a lot of friends, including two young men who are from my small hometown. How crazy is it that he moves a few hundred miles away and his new best friend is from the town he spent his Summers!
He was busy, even knowing we were coming, but he was able to get in a few good meals and find a blazer and new tennis shoes. And of course, the obligatory extra cash from mom “for emergencies”…or dates. 😉
I am going to try my best to have some Factory reviews first thing in the morning. Everything in-store and online is currently 50% off. The only exclusion in-store that mattered to me was the Excursion Vest. That was only 30% off.

Have a Great Evening!

Rounding out my last visit to J Crew are few pieces to make an outfit.

~ Sleeveless Blouse in Graphic Plaid, size 6 ~

This blouse was a new item in the roll-out that immediately went on my wishlist. I was surprised to see it was Poly and not Silk, since it is is the same style as the  Silk Sleeveless Blouse. The size 6 fit well in this style. I was drawn to the black and ivory plaid, which are lacking in my closet. 
~ Hugo Guiness for J Crew You Are Here Sweater, Small ~
This sweater has been on my radar and wishlist for a while. It’s silly, I know. A sweater telling you where you are. I was able to get this on sale plus 40% off, in-store, making it final. The Small fit very well so I do think it runs big. You’ve got that dropped shoulder going on, in case you are not a fan. 
~ Plaza Skirt in Glen Plaid, size 8 ~
I was sad that J Crew did away with the Fluted Skirt style and brought in the Plaza Skirt. But after trying it on, I have a new skirt I love. The flounce at the bottom give just enough swing. When you walk, it has just a little kick or bounce to it, like the Pleated Lattice Skirt. The size 8 was a perfect fit and now I need to decide if I want the Wool Pinstripe or the Stripe Tweed. 
And here are a few quick outfits with the Plaza Skirt in Glen Plaid. 
~ Merino Wool Mixed Media Sweater ~
~ Alani D’Orsay Flat, Deep Chestnut, Banana Republic ~

This next outfit looks even better with the shirt untucked but I forgot to snap a pic.
