I seem to be stalking the J Crew website lately. I am in love with their fall looks especially these below. I know the temperatures here are rising fast and it is useless to hope for cooler weather but I think I can use these looks – their study in texture and colour – as inspiration for my spring wardrobe. Or maybe that is some seriously wishful thinking.
I am slowly realising that I approach the shape of each outfit in the same way – baggy on top, sleek on bottom or baggy on bottom , sleek on top – and it kind of traps me into looking the same all the time. However this outfit is a bit different in the sense that it is baggy both top and bottom (well at least until you hit the ankles) and I think it looks great. Perhaps this has something to do with the transparency of the top and the fact the fabric is very light and sheer. I often do cream and khaki tones together but am keen to try mixing cool colours like grey and pale blue with these pants to again do something different. And I am also calling out the comeback of camel and red (with accents of gold) from the 80s – I promise you it is coming back BIG TIME!
The beautiful top is a gift from some friends from Jason’s intense and crazy boxing class that I have been too frightened to try. Meredith’s shop is called Islands of the Heavenly Sea so check it out. Thanks Meredith and Erin – I promise I will do a class one day! (If you are interested in getting seriously fit, check out the timetable at Sweat Depot. It would be perfect for you brides keen to get in shape before the wedding.)
