Well.....
I was surprised to see a new JC rollout today. Don't know why, I guess I am a creature of habit and they have typically been on Thursdays and so I did not even look at the website till I saw others chiming in on my lunch break! Actually, I am being so good - not looking at the website at all these days! Dani's good book tells me that is a trigger point and so I am only looking when I need something!!!! Oh, I am a work in progress, but making progress!
I would like to say that i am excited/besotted! But I am not! I want to see some differnent styles, not simply different prints! I read somewhere (got to dig up that article) that this is becoming the most boring couple of decades in the history of fashion - we are all dressing the same and so tastefully! The curse of the fashion stylists? I miss my dad's 70s leisure suits or my husband's bolo tie from the 80s.. This topic deserves its own post and I will find the article and post on it!
But I digress...
I did visit the website tonight.
What did I like?
The collection golden paisley blouse.. Not sure this will look good on me, after the foulard print debacle. Waiting for some reviews and a random windfall..
Convertible Clutch in neon coral. I think this would be fun for the fall/winter...
The collection cafe capi in houndstooth - these are really expensive, but I will watch these until they and the shoes go on sale and then pounce! How awesome would these be for my christmas pants?????
Colourblock check mini.
Ah - you poor tall ladies. At 18 1/2", if I size up and pull down, these will hit right at my knee... This is cute and is on my sale watch!
Dream Colourblock sweater. I KNOW - dream yarn. but the colours are MY colours... I am going to wait for sale and then see..
What I REALLY liked was the first look on the home page that points you to the cashmere shop:
It is a bold use of colour, but so pretty! I am tempted to try and recreate this tomorrow - I love the lilac and yellow! And those shoes....
Everything else I liked was so outrageously expensive it is not even worth listing....
And I continued to wear blue today, though tomorrow is 30/82 and all my summer blues are packed away now...
My daughter accused me of wearing out blue's welcome, but I was unrepentent...
The blazer is one I picked up in July at Le Chateau from their fall pickings:
It is so pretty! It is polyester, but I loved it so much that I decided I did not care. Sometimes, one must look past one's better judgement for a beautiful thing... :-) If you don't care, you can get yours here.
When I got home there was a JC box from the recent 30% off sale. The wool skirt in festive blue and the toni tassle loafers in champagne. Will take some pictures and post in next day or so!
As always, have a wonderful day and stay safe out there!
