Second Chances

Are you like me and you missed out a couple of years ago on the coveted Zara Pointed Ballerina shoes?  Well, I've finally found their identical twin...Meet Jolene!



From Topshop, the Jolene pump is nearly an exact replica...a perfectly pointed toe and all kinds of strappy goodness.  It comes in black, silver and a cute grey, reptile-esque pattern and rings up at a less expensive $80. (plus free shipping)  

As for sizing, it only comes in US half sizes.  I am typically a size 7, so I followed the sizing advice in the description and ordered the next size up...7.5US/38EU.  The fit is perfect!

Blazer: J Crew Campbell Blazer in Blue Herringbone (similar)
Sweater: Old Navy (similar)
Necklace: J Crew Factory
Shoes: Nordstrom
  


Hmmm, perhaps I need the silver as well!  

Happy Shopping!

Review: J Crew Multicolored Tweed Dress With Fringe

The J Crew Multicolored Tweed Dress had me at Hello!


I adore the classic styling...rounded neckline, three quarter length sleeves and it's crafted in timeless tweed.

The fit is to the small size of tts...I took my normal size 6 and it is literally like someone tailor made this dress to my body. (now I know how the stars feel :))  I tried an 8 and while there was not a lot of difference, there was a tiny bit of bagging in the chest.  All of that being said, keep in mind that my shape is fairly straight and boy-like, my waist and hips are roughly the same size and I have no booty to speak of.  So if you are a bit more curvy, a size up from your norm might offer a better fit.


It's made from a lovely tweed, that when paired with it's classic details, offers instant polish.  In addition to the navy and white, this beautiful tweed is flecked with orange, blue and yellow and interwoven with a subtle silver thread...lending to even more styling variety.


And as if that wasn't enough to earn this beauty the "Perfection" title, J Crew topped it off with fringe at the hem and cuffs for some added panache and flair.


The multicolored tweed dress retails for $188, but thru 2/22/2016 use code SHOPNOW for an additional 30% off.  Looking for a solid?  This dress is also offered in navy, as well as, batik blue. (use the same promo code for an additional discount)

Happy Shopping!

The Look For Less

You've all heard me blather on and on about J Crew's Abstract Fair Isle Zip Cardigan...love it! Currently, it's on sale and available in limited sizes. (size down one to two sizes)  However, if you love the look but still aren't crazy about the price tag, check out the Meander-Patterned Cardigan from Forever 21.

While not an exact match, it still offers the same vibe.  and wait for it...it's only $19.99!!  




So, if you've been looking for your next cozy, go-to sweater...mission accomplished!  and even with some leftover moolah in your pocket.

Happy Shopping!
