J.Crew Stripes, Dots, Naomi, Bubble Necklace and Other Multiple Purchases

I am a multiple buyer.  It's a bad habit.  If I like something, I buy another (or two, or sometimes three) in another color,then it's overload.   I couldn't pass up the J.Crew ribbon-stripe boatneck tee after this beautiful pic in the July Style Guide although  I already had the one with the bright orange and blue (which I love).

J.Crew July Style Guide
Here is on me in real life, super casual:
J.Crew Factory Resin Droplet Necklace
J.Crew Ribbon-stripe boatneck tee
J.Crew Canteen Pants
J.Crew Golden Cabochon Bracelet
DKNY Ceramic Watch
Cole Haan Air Catalina Sandals
I got the J.Crew Factory Resin Droplet Necklace (mini bubble necklace) at 30% last week.  It's more every day wearable - and cheaper - than a bubble necklace (except of course, I got the citrus lime color.  My husband doesn't get this at all.)

Speaking of multiples, I just ordered an ebay version of the pink and the white like the one that was featured in the July Style Guide (cross your fingers, I am a little nervous, but the seller got good feedback, so I will let you know):
Here it is below it pink (ebay $18.99 - the bottom beads are a bit darker but who cares, the price is great):


I wanted the pink one after I saw this J.Crew pic, but didn't want to pay the $150.
I'll post some with the white one when it arrives.

I also bought the Naomi top on sale in hot pink (I LOVE everything about the look featured below - the hat, bracelets, perfection!).  I reviewed this in the polka dot version:
in Modern Red
Naomi Top in Neon Pink
I also got the painter boatneck tee in navy (fits true to size with gold snaps on the boatneck, which gives it some interesting detail) and Cafe Capri in Pop Art Polka dot (also fits true to size with a bit of stretch).  The pants are fun and will look great with a solid color of navy, pink, red, yellow, green.  They are also on sale this week for $99, so I gave in.  As I posted here and here, I've been on a bit of a crazy cafe capri kick (again back to multiple purchasing!)

Tory Burch Robinson Demi Wedge Sandals

I must have been inspired by dots.  My daughter turned 13 yesterday, and we redid her room from Pottery Barn Kids Surf to PB Teen Dots (she loved this below in the catalog).  


How was your week?

  1. Oh yay! So many great reviews :) I also bought some cheaper bubble necklaces and am much more happy with them than purchasing the full price ones from J. Crew. I adore the polka dot capris, definitely my favorite print for the summer.

  2. I love your casual (but super polished) outfit with the stripe tee and necklace! I am sooooo tempted to try the ebay bubble necklaces. Can't go wrong with that price, as you say. Thanks for sharing your reviews/pics!

    1. Thank you! You can't beat the price of the knockoff bubbles. If they last 4-5 times I will be okay. :) This one is made really well and has a J.Crew clasp - perhaps a defect or copycat, but oh well, I got it! For this price, I can get several. :)

  3. Tammy, great minds think alike, lol. I saw that same pic with the lattice necklace and the pink bubble. I have the lattice, but bought the pink bubble on Etsy from this seller

  5. My week was extremely long, but was able to squeeze a visit to MW and JC yesterday. I love the look of the navy top with the pop art pants on you.

    Also love the daughter's bedroom! How cute! Happy birthday to her!

    1. Thanks! We are having fun with the room. She has white wainscoting on the bottom and we are painting the top a Tiffany Blue color.

  6. I'm a fan of the HOT PINK Naomi top and am also going to order a HOT PINK/FUSCHIA Bubble Necklace off E-Bay soon. I have a gray and light pink Bubble Necklace from E-Bay and I think they are fantastic--they do seem to lend to having the darker stones on the bottom but I like that feature! Otherwise--I think they are made beautifully...
