I led some big meetings this week that required me to be upfront and center stage. I looked in my closet and couldn't find anything. (This is when my husband rolls his eyes.) I decided to make a trip to J.Crew at
Pacific Place, since this was a big meeting. I ended up with some new things.
I got the
Nouvelle Jacket in superfine cotton in navy. This is true to size and much nicer in real life than on the website. I love the silk pinstriped lining, and wore the sleeves rolled up. It's pricey at $178, but it is a good wardrobe staple so I bit the bullet.

I also got the blue
Buffalo Check Rick Shirt and
Double Serge Skirt for fun, but probably not for this meeting. I started to digress in my shopping and needed to focus on the big meetings. I found the
Rialta Tweed Jacket, which I love, love, love. I ended up wearing this and the
Silk Blythe Blouse in Dark Navy tucked in with the belt, with pearls and dark denim trousers (I work for an internet retailer and it is a casual environment). I will get a lot of wear out of both of these items. (Ignore the employee badge hanging off of my pants).

I didn't get the
Crosshatch chambray Shirt or the
Sun-drenched Sweatshirt in Electric Orange (here I am looking at casual stuff again - focus Tammy, focus!). I like that one and the abstract blue color, but will wait for the sale. They are a bit bulky, so you may want to size down.

I didn't get the
Maritime Dress since my bill was already at around $700 and I was on a work related wardrobe mission and digressed. I thought I should wait. Now I am kicking myself, because it's fun. Should I? (BTW - Ignore the socks).

Belt, on sale for $9.99 |
I also got the
Retro Shell in popcicle pink, for $29.99 in the store. So cute for Spring - I am ridiculously excited about this shell because it's different than the other J.Crew silk shells.
How was your week?
