My New J. Crew Cardi + A Long Day of Traveling




J. Crew Merino Chiffon-Placket Cardigan - XXS (buy here)
Gap Outlet Ruffle Blouse - 0 (buy similar here)
Forever 21 Leopard Belt - S (6" cut off) (recent but not online) (buy similar here)
Banana Republic Wool Skirt - 0P (waist, hips, and length hemmed) (very old) (buy similar here)
Forever 21 Knit Design Tights (buy here)
Forever 21 Chic Leatherette Stilettos - 5 (buy here)
The Limited Necklace (very old)


I just slept in until 8:30 am, which is really 10:30 am Texas time.  I feel awesome.  :)  I actually can't remember the last time I slept in that late.  I blame it on the good food, late night conversations, and cold weather.  I just wanted to stay in bed forever! 

But now I'm up and I have a new J. Crew cardigan to share with you guys!  If you follow me via twitter, I actually tweeted a little preview picture yesterday.  I am wearing the merino chiffon-placket cardigan that swept the petite community by storm.  I'm loving the beautiful gold color and chiffon ruffles; the sleeves are a bit tight, but I think they will probably stretch out a bit in time.  The torso is a bit baggy, but it is easily disguised with a little skinny belt cinched at the waist.  A super ruffly top worn underneath also helps.  :)  Overall, this cardigan is definitely a winner and I'm even considering buying another in the weathered wood color!  See this lovely cardigan on Kelly, Jean, Annie, SewPetiteGal, Vicky, and Elle.

I took a few pictures while traveling yesterday that I thought looked kinda cool.  I spent most of the time sleeping on the plane, but I woke up just in time to catch a couple photos:



I left before I had breakfast, but landed just in time for dinner.  And what a feast it was too!  Let's hope I can still fit into my skinny jeans after this!  ^_^


Hope you guys are having a great hump day!  I'm off to get some dim sum!

Yums...I drooled over this pic on your twitter yesterday.

Went to F21 to find your belt and I guess my local store either didn't get it yet or sold out! Sad..it goes nicely with the gold cardigan.

I hope you are having a blast where you are. The food looks amazing! I would sleep like there is no tomorrow if I had a nice feast like that :) hehe And what a long plane ride home! Where do you currently reside?

The J Crew cardigan is so pretty! I absolutely adore the color. It's so bright and cheery. I can't imagine that cardigan in darker colors now :)

Despite the cardigans shortcomings, it somehow looks amazing on everyone! The gold looks fab on you. I hope the arms stretch a bit for you because it really is cute.

Michelle said... [Reply]

Great pairing! I especially love the belt!

I hope you enjoy your vacation! The food looks yummy! That is one of the best parts about vacation. :)

My mouth is watering for that eggplant Tofu ...and is that black bean sauce? yum!!!!

I think this cardi fits you the best out of all the petite bloggers who purchased this item. Couldn't find the belt at my F21 either, but I believe Ann Taylor has a similar one.

kileen said... [Reply]

@AubreyOhDang! yes, eggplant tofu and black bean sauce! you have quite an eye for food and fashion! :)
