The great thing about J. Crew is that you can buy any one thing there, and it will most likely complement something else that you bought there months ago; everything there just goes together.




I attempted to create the illusion of just one top by tucking in the corners of my cardigan underneath the ruffles of the blouse. (Someone actually asked if it was a necklace.) This outfit would be really easy to recreate just because J. Crew consistently offers cardigans and ruffled blouses. (I bought the cardigan last September and the blouse in December; I bought the (super soft) skirt this past weekend).

The skirt can also be dressed down with an embellished t-shirt and skinny belt; more casual but still chic. (I'm thinking specifically of my J Crew tee with a big satin flower on the neckline.)

I swoon over J. Crew's jewelery selection, but the prices are ridiculous. Target, Forever 21 and BP are great for finding similar styles. These are some J. Crew-esque things that I found at Forever 21 for under $20 (the rings are under $5):




I LOVE these linen pumps in general, but with this outfit especially because of the contrast; it breaks it up so it's not too "matchy-matchy." If I didn't wear them, I would opt for a patent nude pump.

oh heyyy, internet!

Despite rising speculations, all rumors that I've been forced to auction off my wardrobe are untrue.

So far.

The truth is far less exciting/practical: I'm graduating! Hopefully within the next two weeks. (Well, either that or dropping out; we'll see which comes first.) So please excuse me while I do my thang.

Also, I'm accepting graduation gifts in the following forms:





Many hugs, kisses, unicorns and rainbows 'till we meet again.
