I wasn’t too big of a fan on the retail version of this sweatshirt, with the gray background and gold foil elephant. I already have a few gray sweatshirts and the Factory version with the Navy background was a much better addition to my closet.

~ Toothpick Jeans, J Crew Factory (JCF, J Crew) ~
~ Vans in Pinstripe Wool, J Crew (Leopard, Denim, Checked, Croc) ~

I’ve finally figured things out and this outfit combination is on that works for me now. I’m also glad the sweatshirt is pretty lightweight as it was pretty warm in the afternoon, but still drafty in the house. The gray skies in the background gave way to partially blue skies and sun later in the day.

This is a Factory-centric outfit with only my Vans being from the retail store (from last Fall). I didn’t wear these a whole lot last year but have worn them a few times already this Fall.

Which Elephant Sweatshirt version do you have? Gray or Navy? I kind of wish it had been done in black. What about you?

All through Spring and Summer I have been eyeing this slip-on sneaker trend. I debated on whether or not to jump on the trendy bandwagon and buy a pair but never did, until now. I think I was waiting for the right pair to come along.

Both the Suiting Mix and the Pinstripe are very Preppy. Possibly a “Preppy Skater” style? With these it’s a definite possibility. They both fit TTS. 

The suiting mix has three different patterns on the front, side and back of the shoe with a white outer sole.

The pinstripe wool are navy with burgundy/white pinstripes on them. I loved these so much more than the suiting mix. I tried them on with a few things that I’ll be reviewing soon. 
The pattern stays the same on all three panels, front/side/back. 

I have been looking for a pair of Navy booties. It’s been stuck in my head for a few weeks now but I haven’t been able to find the right pair. I think the Vans Classic Slip-on in Pinstripe Wool may just satisfy my need for a pair of Navy shoes, including those booties.

Have you tried any of the Vans offerings from J Crew?
