I thought that I would do a quick post of my weekend outfits to start off the week.
Saturday I went to two of the bigger Jcrew stores in the city to check out the new arrivals and the sales section, so I dressed comfortably and I tried to avoid the total Jcrew look. In fact I didn't wear any Jcrew item, which is pretty rare these days for me. Because we had a typical fall weather in the morning, I wore a plum Gap blouse from many years ago, jeans and a Free People knit coat:
I have added the gold and crystal-cluster necklace (that I bought on sale last week and appears to be currently sold-out on the website), and the wide leather gold belt (currently on sale for $29.99, down from $55) for the evening:
Sorry for the blurred pic, but it was almost dark outside and I know that I wouldn't "replicate the outfit" the day after. I ended up wearing my pijamas instead of this because we decided to order in instead of going out, but I loved the easy transformation of the outfit from day to night. By the way, I highly reccomend this belt, the leather is incredibly soft and its bronzed-tone goes with just about everything. I'm a sucker for Jcrew belts (more on that in another post), they are totally worth the money IMO.
Yesterday, I went very casual but the outfit is worth showing because I wore one of my favorite sweaters. It's a crewneck merino sweater by Tory Burch and I couldn't wear it in the last two-three years because of body changes due to the pregnancy (it was fitted to start with but it became even more fitted after I put it in the washing machine. Now I dry clean it only, which aso explains why I don't wear it as often as I would like) but I can finally pull it off again.
The Tory logo is, I think, my all-time favorite logo and I love the chic simplicity of the brown patent leather and navy in this sweater:
Because it was pretty cold in the morning, I wore my Jcrew sherpa hoodie from last year over the sweater (an advantage of the sweater being so fitted), half-zipped up (to show off the logo, of course). The cords are last year's matchstick in sea salt:
Happy Columbus Day and stay tuned for a post on Jcrew new arrivals and my first giveaway!
the tory burch sweater is really nice, navy looks so good on you.
ReplyDeletei agree with you on the jc belts.

I find it very hard to go anywhere without something on that's jcrew..sad, I know. I love both your outfits, and the TB sweater looks beautiful on you. The tb emblem is one of my favorites also.

ReplyDeleteLove the outfits - that TB sweater is so fab!!
ReplyDeleteI got the same gold/crystal cluster necklace on sale this weekend - can't wait until it comes this week!
I bought the same gold cluster necklace also. Saw one in the store today and snatched it up. HeidiG was just talking it up this weekend and I just had to have one!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the blouse and the TB sweater looks great with the jacket. I may have to try the bronze metallic belt. I also collect JC belts but don't have that many.
