In The Mood - J.Crew Fall 2017 Collection

Camouflage teamed up with tulle, leopard prints, bold stripes, funky plaids and a little hint of lace. These were some of the highlights of the J. Crew Fall 2017 Collection during New York Fashion Week. I was too busy celebrating my birthday during Sunday’s showtime, but I made sure to look up every picture I could find online as soon as I got home.

And my goodness - this show did not disappoint. I love, love, love everything I saw, especially the 3 looks I grouped together here.  Although the pictures of all of the looks are stunning, I’m sure all of the pieces were 10 times better in person. I can’t wait for the fall season to come back around again so I can touch and feel everything. Have you had a chance to see the new fall/winter collection yet? If you haven’t, then you can check out all of the women's pieces below.  I’m sure that you’ll find a few pieces that will have you swooning. Let me know what you think and tell me which ones are your favorites.

Happy Tuesday friends and Happy Valentine's Day!!!
