J. Crew spring sales

This time of year I get pretty tired of my clothes but it’s not warm enough to buy many spring things when it’s still 35 degrees, so I try to scratch that itch if I see basics that I know will be workhorses in my wardrobe, things I fall head over heels for immediately, or accessories that don’t cost a ton but make an impact such as earrings or headbands. Lucky for me, J. Crew has had several sales that helped me jump start my spring wardrobe.

Here are shoes that I fell for immediately. I bought the floral heels ( they are on the way, and I hope they fit) and these Mary Jane heels (it’s hard to find a navy heel that’s fun). I didn’t buy the slides but I hope to when it’s warm enough.

In the accessories category, I typically go for white earrings because I know they go with everything. I wasn’t going to get the first pair because I was afraid they were too big but my friend Jen has them, knows me well, and she told me I’d love them, so they are on their way. One of the many reasons I love J Crew is because they typically make hair accessories in the same prints as many of their blouses, so if you love many of the print blouses but can’t afford to buy them all, you can buy the matching headbands instead. You don’t have to wait until it gets warm to start wearing these fun outfit enhancers. I wore one of the headbands today.

I clearly have a type when it comes to tops. I love feminine details. Give me lace, ruffles, eyelet and it will be in my cart. I try to stick to white, navy and black because I know I’ll wear them and I ca mix and match with older items in my wardrobe. I do love a good print but I have to love it to buy it. I think it’s important to note that the white top has the body of a t-shirt, which you wouldn’t know unless you see it in person.

I fell for these pants. They are old school preppy, which I love. They have elastic in the back and have a ton of colors incorporated, which makes them beyond versatile.

Like the shoes, these jackets brought me joy. I plan on wearing the navy as a blazer. The trench is a coated linen in an unusual color that has a hood and perfect pockets. It’s a very special piece that you don’t see every day.
