new jcrew sweater

It was a long day back at work... so I decided I would have wine and cheese for dinner... that's okay for a Monday night, right??

This sweater isn't up on the jcrew website just yet, but it was selling out at the stores so fast I had to pick one up.

Sweater: Jcrew

Dress: Banana Republic

leopard cardigan

One of jcrew's new arrivals is the merino watercolor leopard cardigan and because I already have the skirt in this print I was unsure about getting the sweater as well... I held out for a little bit without purchasing, but I kept thinking how well it would fit into my wardrobe and ended up getting it this past weekend. I wore it over the weekend with a teal dress from anthropologie and incorporated it into my work wardrobe today.

Sooooo, I feel like it's been forever since I posted! I have been so busy with work, but I am making myself get back in the habit of sharing my outfits :)

While my outfits are usually comprised primarily of jcrew, I actually threw some banana republic and anthropologie into the mix yesterday. The outfit is built around the Elodie Lily Cardigan from anthropologie, which is gorgeous in real life! It has specks of gold throughout the sweater that mix perfectly with the different shades of purple. I first saw it on Anthroholic and I knew I had to have it! Luckily I already had the jcrew Kelsey ruffle top in plum raisin and it matched perfectly. I threw on a neutral pencil skirt and viola! :) I can't wait to wear this sweater with jeans and boots on the weekends as well.

I posted a picture a few posts ago of me trying on the constellation cardigan in the jcrew dressing room, but I decided I would post a full outfit showcasing the sweater.

The cardigan is great to add a little sparkle to an otherwise boring outfit and last week I paired it with the polka dot Kelsey ruffle top and banana republic pencil skirt. I have been pretty bored with banana republic lately, but I do have to say that I love this skirt! It's the perfect shade of grey and the fit is wonderful.

labor day weekend

I wore my white pants and a paisley Banana Republic tunic on Friday to work before the long weekend. I have been wearing my white pants a ton this summer and will continue to wear them into fall as long as the weather stays nice. I hadn't worn this tunic in forever and I randomly decided to pull it out of the closet... I forgot how much I like the print - I should wear it more often!

Pants: Theory

Tunic: Banana Republic

On Sunday I headed up to Pismo Beach with my boyfriend and some friends. We spent the day wine tasting in Paso Robles and had a great time! The weather was wonderful and we got to visit three different wineries... We came back with a lot of wine! :)

On the way back from Pismo Beach on Monday we stopped and ate dinner at the Santa Barbara pier... we had two 6 pound crabs!!

Back to work on Tuesday... I love this outfit because of the colors and I always seem to get random compliments. I haven't figured out too many different outfits for this skirt and it wrinkles quite a bit, but I like the style and shape a lot!

Skirt: Jcrew

Cami: Jcrew

Cardigan: Jcrew Summerweight cashmere cardigan

FINALLY got a tripod...

Yay! I finally got a tripod this weekend at target and now I don't have to take blurry pictures in my work bathroom! :) I rearranged my room a little bit and now I have my own little nook for taking pictures...

I wear this banana republic skirt with everything... the high waist is perfect for tucking in silk camis and covering up with a cardigan. Today I wore it with a floral jcrew cami and jcrew long cardigan. The cami and sweater are also great to wear on weekends with skinny jeans and brown riding boots (once it starts getting a little cooler), and I usually wear the top belted to give me some definition in the waist.

Skirt: Banana Republic
