What I Wore Today....

What I Wore Today! by Natedac on Ebay featuring J Crew

Just when I thought I was done with frilly tops...Evie shows up. I had also wanted to try the streamers cami, but they really weren't for me. The streamers cami seemed to run a bit longer, and I wasn't really interested in sizing down to a 0 to try to get it to fit. So I kept the simple Evie, which is in the violet stone color. It's pretty, rich in color and I thought, wouldn't that look terrific with my honey glaze schoolgirl cardigan (cashmere) from last year? Some items are perfect when they go on final sale- the cardi was one of them!

Paired with my Ecru colored cords from last year (cords or my staple when it gets colder, and I love that they're a different color, other than my blue and black jeans. I do have a lot of cords and my most recent color was picked up at the outlet- I think it's some heather cypress color.

Black patent ballet flats and my trusty J.Crew Belle Satchel, my j.crew opera pearls, and think I did pretty well for not planning my outfit in advance.

How divine is this J.Crew Beaded Chiffon Glisse Cami Top? The sequin detail on this is just amazing, as if you were wearing a bunch of princess jewelry. For having so many jewels on it, it's rather lightweight, silky and the perfect top for a nice warm day. The glitter and glitz decorates the v-neckline, with spaghetti straps. I added the J.Crew Golden Cypress Merino Cardigan for some warmth and color. Flared jeans, and my trusty J.Crew Belle Satchel in Pebble.

When buying clothes for myself, I really try picking the Black Label Collection pieces because I find them so interesting and full of personality. They may be a bit pricier (I wait for the mark downs!), but they are clothing to be cherished for years to come. One can have only so many perfect fit tees, tanks and khakis!

Totally channeling my inner desire to go to a private school. I remember back in the late 80's/early 90's, when I would get so sick of "wearing what everyone else was wearing"; Guess jeans (make sure you showed the triangular tag!), Guess button up shirts, Esprit everything, you get the drift. My mommy made sure her daughter went to school in clothes that didn't embarrass her. She was the local realtor...haha. So one day, I discovered Gap Kids. Turns out I would never ever fill out a size 14, let alone a size 16. I was THAT tiny. (Eventually my bf would introduce me to sushi and I became a size 0/2.) OMG. You would have thought I'd died and gone to private school uniform heaven. What did I buy? Funny you should ask. Khakis, a white button up and of course, a navy cardigan. It seemed so simple, yet timeless. So, here's to my youth, my first Gap Kids outfit...and to those who yearn for something basic, simple and pretty. My private school outfit, all grown up!
