In the Mood – J.Crew New Arrivals (Fall 2016)

Pink, pink and more pink! J.Crew definitely wants all of us to think pink this fall.  I finally had a chance to see the new arrivals in person at J.Crew today and I actually tried on a few pieces as well.  I’ll share my fitting room tryons in a later post, so stay tuned.  I was pretty excited to see so many beautiful shades of pink sprinkled throughout the store.  I wanted to try everything on as soon as I walked in.  Every shop had something for everyone – bold bright colors, paisley prints, a beautiful leopard pattern, subtle ruffles here and there and even a little glitter. To stay that I love the fall collection is an understatement.  I literally want to buy everything right now.  One of the first things I plan to buy is the Margot Top in airy cotton pique.  This top reminds me of some of the older J.Crew pieces that you’ll never get tired of seeing.  Another item that’s at the top of my list is the Cuffed-Sleeve Top in leopard print.  This timeless top is a great statement piece that you can pair up with just about anything - remember leopard is a neutral.  And last, but not least, I don't want to miss out on the Rhodes Blazer in Italian Wool.  The wild flamingo color is pretty spectacular.  I didn’t know what to expect when I saw it online, but in person the color is just wow.  It’s not too bright nor is it too dark.  The color has just the right amount of cool tones in it to make it the perfect pop of color for fall.        

Are you guys excited about this new collection?  Which items are you most likely to buy?  Have you checked out the latest catalog yet?  I didn’t get a copy in the mail, but I did check out J.Crew’s Pinterest board for some pinspiration.  Well, my favorite items from J.Crew are pictured below and I’m sure they will put you all in a good mood!  Check them out and let me know what you’re loving this month.

Moody Style: #NSale Fitting Room Reviews

Happy Sunday sweet friends!

So, I may have gone a little overboard with my shopping at this year’s Anniversary Sale, but I can't say I'm sorry about it.  I truly love everything I've bought so far.  Notice that I said so far…it’s a problem.  I’ve been to the store twice already and I’ve bought a few things online as well.  And I'm pretty sure I’ll be stopping by the store after church to try on a few more things I've had my eye on.  I keep finding new things that I “have” to have.  Have you guys bought anything yet?  What are some of the things that you’re loving from the sale right now?  

Anyways, here are my fitting room reviews for some of my favorite items from the sale.  I’m also going to include a few things that I bought, but didn’t have a chance to take a picture of them.  

Let me know what you think in the comments below! And check out my #NSale Must-Haves HERE.

Sub_Urban Riot Lettuce Be Friends Short Sleeve Tee

Comfortable and super soft t-shirt.  I love the brand and I’m considering 

getting the Kale one too.  The tee runs true to size.  I’m wearing a small. 

Socialite Cross Front Tee

 This relaxed cross front t-shirt definitely came home with me.  I fell in love with the fit and style 

of this top and you won’t believe how soft it is.  This top runs true to size and comes in several other colors.

BP. Stripe Long Sleeve Crewneck Tee

I can’t get enough of stripes lately, so I naturally gravitated towards this top.  You’ll probably get sick of seeing it on me because you’ll be seeing it on everyone else.  This shirt is pretty versatile and it will look great with jeans or leggings and it’s on sale right now for $17.90.  This one also fits true to size and I’m wearing a small here. 

 Chloe & Katie Cross Front Swing Tank

This swing tank is just the cutest.  I love the crisscross neckline and the lace details.  And it run true to size – I’m wearing a medium.

BLANKNYC Skinny Dipper Distressed Skinny Jeans

These jeans are my new favorite right now.  I wanted to get similar jeans that I’ve seen on other bloggers like this one, but I never pulled the trigger.  So once I saw these, I knew I had to get them. They are super comfy especially for the price and there is just the right amount of distressing.  These jeans fit perfectly in my normal size.  They are a little tight on my thighs, but that pretty standard for me and every jeans I own. 

Socialite Strappy Rib Knit Tank

Cute knit tank that has horizontal stripes on the front and back of the tank.  It also has a looser swingy fit that I think would be flattering for most sizes and ages.  I’m wearing a small in the rust color and it fits true to size.  

BLANKNYC Skinny Dipper Distressed Skinny Jeans 

BP. Marled Cowl Neck Sleeveless Tunic

Love this tunic!  It fits true to size and would look great with some leggings and boots.  And although it’s a sweater 

tunic, it’s not a heavy weight, so it will be perfect for fall.

Joe’s Honey Curvy Skinny Jeans 

These jeans are on my wishlist right now because I’ve bought way too much so far.  These jeans are true to 

size, but I may have to try on a size down in case they stretch out.  One thing that I did love is that the jeans really hug my 

curves and it makes my booty look tight.

 Leith Cowl Neck Sleeveless Dress

I’m definitely going to get a lot of use out of this dress.  This is another favorite of mine.   This body-conscious dress is a perfect foundation piece for so many layered looks.  This dress runs a little small, but it just depends on how tight you want your dress to look on you.  I’m wearing a medium here.

 Hinge Crochet Lace Trim Dress

This dress is prefect for transitioning into fall, and you can also wear it now.  It comes in 3 colors and it runs true to size.  It will look great with some booties or sandals.  I'm wearing a small here.

BP. Frayed Denim Shift Dress
I really wanted this chambray dress to work out for me, but it didn’t.  I found that it ran true 
to size and I’m wearing a small here.  However, I don’t think it flattered me in any way. 

 Caslon Plaid Cotton Two-Pocket Shirtdress

This classic shirtdress comes in 3 colors and it fits true to size.  I’m wearing the small here.  Although this dress fit me fine, I’m still on the fence about it.  Maybe it was the colorway?  I do however think that this dress will be great for the fall naturally because of the plaid pattern.  I also think it will look great with some over the knee boots or even worn as a long jacket with some jeans.
