I really liked my Saturday outfit. I think that it looks quite pulled together for an outfit with shorts:
I am wearing the space-dyed grey tee from JCrew that I scored on final sale. I really loved this tee until my husband on Saturday night made me notice that I had a hole under my underarm. I am pretty sure that it wasn't there when I bought the tee (it wasn't in the sale section but well folded in its pile), so I think that I am a new victim of the "tee that develops a hole after a day of wearing" plague. It's a first for me and when I read on the JCA blog about it I thought that people were exaggerating things. Seriously, this is a $58 tee even if I didn't pay that price, how can it be possible? I will never look at JCrew tees the same way as before.
Unfortunately I had just bought another tee, the vintage cotton v-neck in black (that is on promo in store for $19.50). I love how the black here is not a solid black (not sure if it makes sense if you haven't seen this tee) and I think that the low v-neck of this one (which is an update of last year boyfriend tee) is kind of sexy. So I would probably buy it again, at the risk of developing holes (which hasn't happened with this one).
I wore it with boyfriend shorts and the studded pyramid belt to an outing to the Bronx zoo on Sunday (BTW, we had a blast and if you happen to go there don't miss the Wild Asia Monorail ride. It's the only way to see the elephants and it's totally worth the money):
As if I hadn't enough shorts, I bought a new pair on Saturday. This wasn't a impulsive buy though: I waited forever for these to go on sale and when they finally did this week I almost missed them (I have to thank my daughter who, while we were on our way to the post office on Saturday afternoon and we walked past the Gap, asked me "Mommy, aren't we going inside today?"). Anyway, I am talking about the Chambray boyfriend cutoffs and I just love the light denim color for summer shorts (they are chambray, so extremely soft). These are really casual shorts, to wear to the beach (when they are not rolled-up they are almost a bermuda lenght):
What are your favorite shorts this season?
Ema, thanks for the lovely comment, I LOVE your writing style I think you have a really unique voice, I'd love to bed down at night reading a book you wrote one day.
ReplyDeleteI love that first outfit, it's so elegant looking for shorts and a t.
I've only got one pair of shorts, the J Crew chino ones, I'm 46 and something odd has just happened to my flesh, it's gone all puckery and crepey overnight, so shorts will just befor beach holidays now I think. Next it'll be the jowls!
My favorite shorts this season have to be the J. Crew drapey supper shorts---I have them in black and mink and i wear them all the time. I love how they drape and they look a little retro.
ReplyDeleteNo fave shorts for me anyway right now, being 39 weeks preggo...however, i also got the space dyed tee from the last promo--hoping mine doesn't develop a hole in it from one wear!! that's a bummer! but i love the tee, it is so unique and looks great with white shorts. Are you still keeping the space dyed tee? I also love your second outfit, the black tee looks really sharp on you.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in shorts! I never wear shorts, with the exception of some black linen JCrew shorts from a couple of years ago that I wear over my black bathing suit for a little extra coverage.
ReplyDeleteI did have some shorts but I gave them away. My 15yo daughter won't wear shorts either, it must be genetic!
Love the outfits!
Agree with what you mean about the space dyed tee. J.Crew's tees are getting higher in price and the quality is sketchy. & lately there are so many I just feel like waiting until Final Sale before I even look at the possibility of buying.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in the outfits and despite my rant I still really like the Space Dyed tee. Happy Summer!
