At first I had put on my Minnies in coal for color scheme consistency but then changed into these Paige bootcut jeans because I had an appointment with the orthopedist for my calf and I thought that it would be easier for him to examine me if I wore non-tight pants (it's very easy to pull them up). That was quite silly as as soon as I arrived I was asked to take my pants off and put on one of those hospital plastic gown. The good news is my calf is going to heal by itself but I have to start a stretching routine because that's why it happened, apparently (because I don't stretch and my muscles are tight).
To go back to the lace panel tee, it is very delicate and feminine and very flattering IMO, so if you need something to reach the free shipping minimum I would give it a try. I especially love it with the felted bistro mini (that I am very excited to wear as it was a popback that I bought during the summer):
I also wanted to post what has been my typical uniform for the past two weeks: a pair of jeans or skinny pants and my downtown field jacket accessorized with the Printed wool wrap in the dahlia multi color. You have already seen it in one of the fitting room pics post but now that it is available on the website too I wanted to advertise it as the perfect scarf to wear with the downtown field jacket in the fall. The color of the scarf just blends into the color of the jacket (mine is the black one, which isn't a true black but more of a faded color between black and forest green) and the pops of yellow and red scream "it's fall". I know that JCrew scarves are expensive but this is my favorite scarf ever and I would recommend it to anyone (especially if you have the field jacket or a similar one):
Have a nice week! I am alone until Friday, so you can expect a lot of posts to come...
PS
So I enjoyed the last episode of Mad Men (did you see it coming?) but I thought it wasn't nearly as poignant as the previous season finales, especially Season 2 which is a television masterpiece in my modest opinion!
Love this post!! I have been thinking about that tee lately, and when you did this post, I almost screamed! THey only have the ivory left, in medium, do you (or have you seen it) think the ivory is just as nice? It's such a great deal, but don't want to get it, if the tee is too see through,you know what i mean?? Love your "daily outfit" message, but could you post your whole outfit? love that scarf!!!
ReplyDeletemrs.anketell, I haven't seen the ivory IRL (I think that the stores had the grey only) but I do think that it will be sheer as it is very thin. If I am not wrong the lady at Shopping with M mentionned that she has the ivory one, so you could maybe send her an email?
ReplyDeleteWhat whole outfit? You mean the outfit with the downtown field jacket?
You and DaniBP have inspired me with your dressing "systems" for every day, easy-go-to pieces. Have a self-imposed ban on J Crew tees right now (need other things) but if this tee came in my size I would probably break. More practical than those black lace 1980s video tights they're touting - in my case at least. Although I am sure they would look great on some JCAs.
ReplyDeleteHi Ema,
ReplyDeleteLove that tee on you, it is very much your style!
Curious to know if you have been into the new Ralph Lauren store on Madison?
Yes, Ema, the outfit w/ the downtown jacket, if you have the time..........:)
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfits! Glad to read your calf will heal nicely, and looking forward to more posts!
