Next up, the Rose Vines Blazer from J.Crew ($99.99).
PROS:
Print is subtle enough to bring to the office.
Blazer is light enough for the upcoming months of 60/70 degree weather.
That ruching back is so cute! :)
It's lined!
The print lend the blazer to a lot of possible color combinations.
CONS:
Print might be TOO subtle for some people.
Blazer material might be TOO light for some people.
It's a bit unstructured (besides that ruching in the back) so that might bother some.

ReplyDeleteI went ahead and reordered the rose vines this morning as I could NOT swallow an extra 60 dollars just because I bought it last week. Sigh, J. Crew, you fickle beast...one day you are full price and the next, nearly HALF off. Crazy!
the blazer looks great on you.
ReplyDeletei think the light color would wash me out.i like the lieutenant jacket a lot better.
thanks again for your IRL pics.
keep them coming!
Ohhh...I really like this one on you! Great choice! :)
ReplyDeleteLove all the outfits. I am so jealous that you got the J.Crew Vintage matchstick jean, I tried to find it in my size, but no luck!
ReplyDeletedinagideon: It's great fun when you're able to shop in your closet and be able to match the old with the new. :) And I say, "Kudos!" to the return/re-purchase of the Rose Vines blazer - that's just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteina: Thank you! You're so sweet. :)
FFM: Hi! Thanks! Great compliment, especially from the master of "putting-items-together-and-making-them-look-fabulous!"! :)
Rosa in DC: Thanks, ms. lady! That jeans find was totally good luck - I was in the market for some jeans, just to putter around in, and I found those for $19.99! Like what the SA said, it'd be "a crime if you didn't buy them"! Hahaha! ;D
Just bought this blazer after seeing it on you. I had been wanting it and when I saw it went on sale here I instantly bought it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove this on you. A print that small is just not me - and, well, it's a print, hehehehe. Great summer piece!!
