It was a cold but very sunny day so I was in the mood for some color. I also wanted my outfit to be easy to take on and off in case of try-ons (so no shirts/skirts/boots). I picked my cashmere cardigan in bright papaya from last year and I paired it with the Victoria tissue cami. I have to say, I am quite satisfied of how this outfit turned out. In fact I felt great and "ready to shop":
You have probably noticed the change of locale: I took these pics in the living room, unseen by my husband who was in the bedroom. In the background you can see the typical mess that our living room is on Saturday mornings, after my daughter has spread the pages of the New York Times, especially the ads, all over (we subscribe to the weekend edition).
I was wearing a Crewcuts "giraffe" pendant necklace that I stole from my daughter. I bought this necklace around Thanksgiving: we were in the store and my daughter made me a scene about the necklace so I indulged her and bought it. Of course five minutes later the necklace had already lost all of its interest but I couldn't return it because the SA had cut the tag off. Then it disappeared for months, as things can disappear in a household with children and it resurfaced in a drawer a few days ago. I have to say, I quite like it for myself, especially with this cardigan (I had to hide it from her because of course had she seen it, she would have wanted to wear it):
The color of the cardigan reminded me of something. Papaya, papaya, what else do I have in papaya? The potpourri scarf, of course:
Actually I wore it over my script coat, because as I said it was cold:
I had a lot of fun at Bloomingdales, I hadn't been in a department store in a very long time and it was refreshing to see other brands than Jcrew.
BTW, I found a solution to my bag dilemma, so stay tuned!
Have a great start of the week!
such a pretty outfit - glad you had a good time shopping Bloomies! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for Papaya! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit!!
That giraffe necklace is adorable. Sometimes I like the crewcuts jewelry section better than the womens-- smaller scale and way more affordable!! :D
I wore the exact same sweater on Saturday. Great minds must think alike! I paired mine with my favorite Matthew Williamson scarf and my carlton coat from J Crew. It was freezing and at first I tried to just go out in my Downtown Field Jacket - no way. I had to run back inside. So sick of this cold weather!
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf & Sweater pairing - maybe more reason for me to invest in that great J Crew scarf!
Very cute outfit. You're inspiring me to wear more color. BTW-LOVE the necklace. Hope you did well at Bloomies. I scored at the store in SF. BTW I use my JC Tote that I won in your contest, all the time!!! Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I look forward to your posts everyday---this outfit is especially pretty, i just love that papaya color for a cashmere cardigan! The scarf matches perfectly! Can't wait to see what you got at Bloomies:)
ReplyDeleteLove the papaya cashmere, scarf, and script coat! Perfect outfit for your morning out.
ReplyDeleteMy 7yo daughter wears my JCrew jewelry all time! I have bought her several of the cc bracelets, so cute. My older daughter doesn't take the baubles: she takes the clothes! Ah, well, makes me feel less guilty shopping, look at all of the people I'm dressing! :)
Very excited to hear about the bag solution!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love that necklace and now I want one for myself. I always wondered where the crewcut necklaces would sit, like how long they would be.
I also went to Bloomies this weekend with the 20% off coupon, it was the first time I had been in a department store in a while too. Very refreshing to see other brands than JCrew. What did you get?
Very pretty! Don't you just love the Victoria tissue cami?? I'm obsessed with it. That outfit looks adorable with the Script Coat!
ReplyDeleteLookin' good, girl!!
Love the outfit! And oh goodness, I love that giraffe necklace, too cute!
