So, last week I bid adieu to my early 20’s and now I’m
staring down the barrel, looking towards the 30 end of this decade. The days of
pulling all-nighters in college and surviving on junk food are long gone and
have been replaced with a desperate need for eight hours of sleep a night and cravings
for healthy meals. Not that I’m complaining. So far, 25 if treating me pretty
great! I’m opening a storefront, having a blast renovating my house, and oh
yeah, I got engaged! More on that later.
Thanks to my awesome soon to be Mother-in-Law who
understands my J. Crew obsession, I picked up some great pieces this week to celebrate
my birthday and kick start my Fall wardrobe.
Schoolboy Blazer in Festival Blue $198 If I could afford it, I would have a Schoolboy Blazer in every
color offered. Wool flannel is super lightweight and always gets that perfect
sleeve-roll that looks casual, but perfectly polished. This new shade of blue
will punch up my current selection of J. Crew blazers (I’ve always opted for
neutrals).
Colorblock Stripe Tippi Sweater $95 I’ll be honest, I’ve accumulated more J. Crew sweaters
than I can count. I just have a weakness for them.
Downtown Field Jacket $148 Every year I tell myself I should get a great lightweight jacket. The
Fall weather in Seattle usually calls for a raincoat or hoodie, so I never felt
the need to buy just a jacket (no matter how cute). Now that I’m living in Spokane,
the weather is much drier and somewhat more reliable. And, of course, a jacket
is much more sophisticated than a hoodie.
Excursion Quilted Herringbone Vest $138 Ok, this is probably my favorite of my J. Crew
shopping trip. Unlike other puffers, this one is thin and lightweight! I don’t feel
like a marshmallow puff when I put it on, and the print is super chic. I’m so
excited for the temps to drop, so I can wear this with my J. Crew Pixie pants, riding
boots, and a chunky gold necklace.
