OOTD 11/18/2011

Happy Friday!  And an added bonus for me...no work next week!  I'm taking the week off to celebrate Thanksgiving, my 20th wedding anniversary and I'm throwing in a little "me" time.  It should be an awesome week!  I'm also going to try to finish my Christmas shopping.  I'm almost there...just a few loose ends to tie up.  I have to finish early before the madness starts and I can tell that its starting to "kick up" a notch. 

Today's outfit includes some old favorites from 2009.  The faded floral tee is still one of my favorites.  It's from the period when J Crew was slapping chiffon on everything.  By the way, has anybody else noticed that there haven't been any graphic tee releases recently?  It's just as well, I don't need anymore, for sure...but I guarantee that wouldn't stop me if they came out with something super cute.  I don't know what it is but, I just love those "dressed up" tees. 

I also added the mohair retro-stripe cardigan into the mix today.  Another great item that if you don't have, you would be lucky to lay your hands on!  I actually saw one for sale on ebay recently with a decent starting price.  To finish today's look, I added my staple pearl hammock necklace, jeans and some "way cute" tweed bow flats.

  4. I think these pieces are just as pretty now as they were when JC first rolled them out. I have the same cardi and tee and count them among my favorites.

    Next month I'm breaking out my 3 beaded angel wing tee's and a few sequin detailed cashmere sweaters. :)

  6. I sure thought that there would be a couple of embellished tees in the holiday offerings! I've kept my favorites and love pulling them out to layer as you have described. A cute (well-made LOL) tee adds juice to my jeans OOTD!
    BTW - I got the factory Scotty dog tee! Cute!

  7. Jen...well-made! Ha, like you, I laugh!! I actually looked down at the tee in this post yesterday and there was a tiny hole that had "sprung up". But that doesn't stop me either! :o) I will definitely check out the Scotty tee...I'm planning to make a factory run on Tuesday. I'm a sucker for pretty much anything with a dog on it...so I'm sure I'll love it!
