WWJCD?

Shirt - JCrew Factory / Sweater (similar) and Jeans - Gap / Blazer - JCrew / Boots - Sam Edelman / Necklace - Baublebar / Bracelet - Stella & Dot

Last weekend in Chicago it was fifty degrees out. Five zero. And it's technically still summer. I know I've been talking about wanting to wear my fall clothes, but I meant maybe wearing pants instead of shorts. I could not bear to break out a coat, because, come on. So instead, I asked myself, WWJCD (What Would JCrew Do)?  Layer, of course!  Button down plus sweater plus blazer (plus extra hidden tank underneath it all) definitely held its own against the cold.

Has fall hit your neighborhood yet?

Navy & Green

Navy and green do not make up my typical color palette.  I wear them separately but I don't think I've ever tried them together.  Then a Saturday came along when I felt like actually getting dressed instead of hanging out in my pajamas until it was time to go out to dinner, and the blue and green really caught my eye.

Aaaaand just realized I was wearing all JCrew.  Oh dear.  This blog thing seems to be changing me, especially since I didn't buy my first piece from JCrew until last summer.

I also wore this skirt here and here.

Snow Day

Sweater - Old Navy / Skirt - JCrew / Booties - Kelly & Katie (old) / Necklace - Loft (old) / Bracelet - Baublebar

These pictures are from last week, when the snow was only just starting to fall.  Now there's at least a foot out there.  So it doesn't look that bad in the pictures, but it practically a blizzard at the time.  If our neighbors didn't think I was crazy before, they definitely do now.  While I was out there, our front gate blew shut and locked me out, so I had to crawl through my neighbor's yard to get back in.  Luckily, it turns out this skirt (that I was lusting after all winter) and sweater (a Christmas gift from my sister) are surprisingly warm so I didn't suffer from hypothermia.  Although they're certainly not the best for creeping through the snow...

Two Ways to Wear JCrew Jewel Collar Tee

When Kaitlin from Tea and Sequins guest posted for me while I was on vacation, I mentioned that we sometimes end up buying the same pieces.  One of the items in both of our closets is JCrew's gorgeous jeweled collar tee shirt.

What I really like about this shirt is that it can be dressed up or dressed down so easily.   Kaitlin paired hers with a cute pencil skirt and booties, but I decided to dress mine down with chambray and flats.

I personally love the faux necklace trend, but there is a little downside - I wore this to work, and both my boss and a coworker told me they were distracted by the neckline during a meeting because they couldn't figure out if I was wearing a necklace or not!
