"Buy clothes that you’ll wear on a Tuesday afternoon, not a Saturday night— few people lead Saturday-night lives."--Lucky Magazine, December 2010
So using some Christmas gift money I stocked up on winter essentials from J.Crew. With their sale items an additional 40% off, it could have been easy to get distracted by cheap thrills (dainty blouses, outerwear, or dresses). But I'd done my assessment once my clothes were all in one place. I needed a few more long sleeve tees and cardigans for the three winter months that loom ahead.
To mix things up and add some youthful edge, I also experimented with some new pieces from Madewell, J.Crew's younger sister store. Here are the items I picked:
 |
this rich blue color is my favorite |
 |
warm, durable, and fabulous colors |
 |
 |
drapey fabric and a cute, modern cut |
 |
cozy wool cardigan with a retro, grandpa style |
If you need to add some essentials for your closet -
the 40% off sale is on again this weekend at J.Crew and
30% off sale at Madewell!

Thank you for your comments. Please come visit me and take me shopping. Your ability to pick classic pieces is unparalleled. You're a teacher, so you could teach me how to do that...right?
I am glad you like the color. It's called "Super Hero Blue" and is part of the Behr Disney collection. How fun is that? I figure when I get a house I will have to chose less dramatic colors, so now is the time to go bright! :)
I am having serious issues figuring out this blog stuff. Should have invested a little more in those college courses.
You should do the challenge. On second though, it may cause me to covet, so you can skip it. ;) You'd do fabulous AND gorgeous, I'm sure of it!
thanks girls! i loved shopping with such great deals to be had!
amber - be sure to post some pics of your closet. i love seeing other girls' clothes!
bestie - your picks are adorable. love your blog.
