What I Wore Today!

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

Since I am a major slow poke at doing dry cleaning (I have no idea how long my champagne rose chiffon tee or black rose chiffon tee has been sitting in the bag, waiting to be professionally cleaned...), I felt the need to break out my new white rose chiffon tee. I got dressed in a major rush (a first), and went with the basic private school look again. Paired with my navy Jackie cardigan, I was ready to go!

I have a few more of these lovely tees (white, pewter, natural and pink)- so many compliments, one of my favorites being "wow, what a cool shirt!", from someone I know who is equally, if not more stylish than me. I hope you all have gotten one too- this is definitely the season's must have.

Wake up, smell the roses. Life's too short to be so serious. Seriously! :)

Planning out my outfit a day ahead is supposed to save me time, right? Ha! I think it saves me time so I have time to tool around my place until I feel like I'm abusing my powers as being my own boss. But, I have to admit, I feel like a million bucks when I show up...and hopefully I look it too. One time, I was at a restaurant during lunch and a really old guy came up to me and told me how pretty I was. So I guess all this prep work does pay off to people who are clearly losing their vision.

On to the clothing...this J.Crew Leopard Sequin Cardigan is ridiculous. Retailing at $350, I waited until it hit about 2 markdowns before buying it. The verdict? It's one of those cardigans that really didn't get much play, probably because of the retail price. But when you see the details on it, your jaw just drops! Who, in their right mind, would sit there for hours/days/weeks sewing on all this iridescent sequins? Well, someone did, and boy did they do a great job. The print underneath is the leopard print in gray, but the sequins will make it appear somewhat light greenish, in real life. Paired with my J.Crew Joelle Cami in navy, this will make for a nice contrast.

It's Friday tomorrow...so wear something special to celebrate the fact that there are two more days until Monday! :)

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!

Navy and Gold. I just love this combination. I got the J.Crew Mallorca Dress in Navy a few years back and have loved it ever since. (Thanks to Slastena's Blog, who wore it, which gave me the a-ha! moment to pull it from my closet). The dress has a built in shelf bra, and hits at the calves, which was perfect for a warm day. Because I'm demure with my bustline (don't want to give away the farm), I wore the J.Crew Ikat Cardigan, in Maize. It's a linen/silk blend, so it won't keep you totally warm, but it's a nice cover up piece. The outfit gave me the perfect flow for the wonderful weekend weather we were having this July 4th.

I have one more J.Crew Ikat Cardigan in xs, NWT, so if you'd like it, come visit my ebay store:
