OOD 8.23.09: Spearmint, Gray, & Gold


On Sunday I thought I'd try out my new J Crew corsage cardi with my gray $9.99 skirt score from Target for church and brunch.  I've checked the skirt out online since I bought it and found it is called the Grecian Draped Pencil Skirt in "Grey's Harbor".  I still can't believe it is priced under $10.  I added a simple Old Navy tee in white and my gold metallic SM Seeris and really liked the combo of Gray, Spearmint, and Gold. Would be great with silver also.

 I think I may wear this for my upcoming cross-country flight back to Seattle.  So comfy!  And in this skirt it would have been easier to run up the down escalator to get my 4 yr old son in a crowded airport because he didn't step on the escalator to the train with the rest of the family when he dropped his toy and ran back to get it.  I had to do that in my maxi dress in the Atlanta airport recently.  It's hard to move that fast in a maxi up an escalator in the wrong direction but you do what you have to do - someone told me to look for that on youtube later ;)  .


J Crew cardi, ON tee, Target skirt, Michele Diamond Deco watch, Tiffany & Co. necklace

I tried on some things at J Crew today so have a couple of snaps to share in a day or two.  I didn't have any luck buying - they were out of a lot of sizes in new arrivals - so I am going to hit one more J Crew tomorrow to see if I can find my Amber Maya and some other pieces I'd like to try.

  3. First I was drooling over the post yesterday with the cardigans... and then saw the previous post with the Target steals, and decided to just plop a comment down right here to simply say "Fabulous." Everything is just darling, and the look today showing the cardigan with the skirt is excellent Miss Sweet Tea, really a nice style statement. (Excuse, must find a towel to wipe keyboard... can you tell we had a little accident, it is all so droolworthy!)

    Hope you have more fun on the trip tomorrow!

  6. mrs.a - I am SO happy you found a brown one!! Isn't it a great fit/great style?! I think this one is going to be a sell-out as soon as everyone finds out about it! I am still keeping a look out for black. I will wear mine with tights and tall boots in the Fall too.
