Fall 2012 J.Crew Purchases

I've been resisting fall and trying to hang onto summer.  Seattle has been beautiful in September and I don't want it to end.  Sadly, October begins and I must give up all of my summer fun and get with the fall program.  I got some nice bright pieces during a recent trip to J.Crew to help me with my transition.  I got the Colorblock Boatneck Tee, a great top that fits true to size and can look good dressed up or down.  I got it in the autumn coral color featured in the October catalog:

I wouldn't wear it with these pants the way J.Crew paired it, but you get the point:

Here's how I wore it (two bad attempts at an iphone self portraits, but you get the point):

I also got the Tippi Cardigan in Colorblock on sale:

 I am trying to figure out how to style it.  Here it is in the October catalog in a neutrals.

I may need this one, too!

Here are a few looks I do like for transitioning to Fall.  The Nicky top in jade.  I am kind of obsessed with this color lately.

Here's the same top:

and this (Cashmere cardigans + pencil skirts = perfection):

I am excited about the new J.Crew October 2012 roll out. 

Casual prep cool!  Love!

Love this, too!

Love!

When I need a coat, this is the one I want!
