My Love Affair with Jcrew Continues

It should come as no surprise that I wear a lot of Jcrew.  Just about every cropped trouser I own hails from the crew(see we're even on a nickname basis, she calls me Big Red and yes I've engendered a clothing retailer and have a make-believe relationship with her). Here's a recent pick of me head to ankles crew:

I say ankles because the shoes are Zara, but ever other piece is crew and rarely do a few days in a row go by that I'm not wearing some sort of Jcrew paraphernalia.   Why am I such a brand loyalist?  Well, the clothing is well made, fits me well, and is versatile enough to fit into the various style aesthetics I'm drawn to.   Sure, Jcrew can be pricey, but their sales and Jcrew Factory store fit within my budget. 

So as you can imagine when the crew had a collection at fashion week you know I definitely checked it out and made notes for what I hope to purchase later in the year.  Here are my three favorite looks:

Shocker! Cropped trousers, button down shirts, jackets/blazers, and heels. What can I say, that's my uniform, my go-to. And Jcrew offers that to me with a wide array of ways to mix and match and keep my standard outfitting technique from being boring.  And that's what outfitting is all about, right? To not be boring.  Just wear clothes then, eh?

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set.
