I did go ahead and get a few things... this cardigan was on special for $15 (regularly $19.50). I'm sure it will be back up to regular price during F&F so it won't be that much more of a discount. This cardigan is very, very similar to the Reading Room Cardigan which I recently tried on at Anthropologie for $68.00 and was considering purchasing - similar color, similar style, very soft just like Anthro's. The Anthropologie one has nicer sleeves and smocking at the shoulders - which is a beautiful detail - but not worth $53.00 to me. I can use the ON one in that same way. Also, the perfect tanks were $5 - I got a brown one - and I couldn't resist the ruched slub-knit tank in a soft turquoise ('airwalker') - very J Crew-esque - and a great deal for $10. It is online for $8. Under the putty colored cardi, the color combo reminds me of a beautiful outfit that Slastena (About All and Nothing at All) put together and showed on her fabulous blog here. There was also a darker turquoise ('pacifica') that was virtually the same fabrication/color of a J Crew tank I have. Pretty! I also picked up a skinny elastic double headband in black for $4.50. I'd been looking for something like that at a reasonable price for awhile.
I also purchased the beautiful Heathered Jersey Scarf - it feels like the softest t shirt - for $12.50. When I saw it on Shasta on her blog I absolutely had to have it! It is the prettiest shade of blue! I am not a Bergdorf Blonde, but I do have blue eyes and I love to wear this color. (I do have Plum Sykes' book and loved it - fun read.) This scarf sold out at the closest ON to me, so I had it held at another and zipped up to get it. Couldn't take a chance on missing that one! So here it is:
These I didn't buy but tried on:
The print on these tanks really reminds me of J Crew's Gladiola print! They are $10 but I can wait for F&F.
These dresses were darling! If I get one, I will put a cami under it - it was a little too low-cut for me in the fitting room.
I tried on that blue cami. I haven't reviewed it. Maybe I'll post it if I saved the pic. It looks great w/the open cardi. I like your color combos! You were very smart to buy some things now, knowing they may go up in price next week.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. I remember seeing that cami a few weeks ago, but it was after the fitting room, and didn't want to go back in. Love it with the putty cardi!
ReplyDeleteI love the cami... such a J Crew look. And tons of colors... I will pick up a couple more during F&F. The cardi is also one of those pieces to get in a couple color too imo if you like the style... so versatile, great for summer travel etc etc.
