I love this OOTD. I feel springy and I want to break out my foulard cafe capris and also another item that I bought recently, the shirt that I am wearing in these pics (the necklace is old JCrew and the shoes are old Tods that I don't wear often enough):
The shirt is another Joe Fresh great find. It is what it's called a "boxy" shirt, which is the shape that all the fashion designers seem to favor this spring (see Celine and Chloe just to mention two). I had never though about this but a shirt with this shape and length is made to wear untucked (I am usually a tucker-in and I usually like longer shirts). This one is extremely well made and flattering in its boxiness. Maybe it's the fact that the hem is longer in the back:
I actually hope that it is going to be my OOTD but I haven't checked the temperatures yey (it was suddenly very warm yesterday afternoon but it was freezing cold the day before, the weather is all over the places here). In any case I am going to wear a navy sweater, this one is from the Loft (last year):
I have to say, I don't feel like I am wearing disposable fahion when I wear Joe Fresh, but the prices are definitively on the low end of the spectrum (this one is only $29 and it's a very nice and crisp cotton, definitively comparable to the cotton used by JCrew). By the way, for the New Yorkers, they gave me a flayer that advertises the grand opening of their flagship store on 5th Avenue (at 43d St.) this Friday at noon. The first 200 customers will receive a $100 gift card with a $50 purchase that you can use (for example) towards the purchase of the shirtdress that I am wearing here. Not bad! If any of my readers make it, let us know (I happen to have a playdate in Midtown tomorrow morning but I don't think that I will make it there by noon)!
Have you been to Joe Fresh recently? Do you like this year's boxy shape for shirts?
I went to the Joe Fresh on the Upper East Side and was pleasantly surprised. I thought the items would look "cheap" but they aren't. Just nice, fresh, crisp-looking clothes. Mainly basics but some other things as well. I only came home with a white t-shirt that day but it was nice cotton, and well fitting for under $10.
ReplyDeleteVery cute trousers, it's warm here too but I think it's to go back to normal next week, it's been great to be out in lovely clothes again.
ReplyDeleteEma, I caved and ordered these pants yesterday, despite having ignored them in store, bc this outfit looks so cute and comfortable on you!! That's how great the boxy top and foulard pants are together and each in their own right! :) Thanks for the pictures!
ReplyDeletekristin, that's where I usually go, it is very close to my place. Glad that you like it!
ReplyDeleteTabitha, they are JCrew ;-). Here it gors from summer to winter back to summer, it is very hard to get dressed!
maqsad, thanks, I hope that you'll like them. They are VERY easy to wear (you can wear them with navy, white and red), that's what I like about them. I received many compliments on my outfit yesterday.
