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):


Simple Saturday


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.
Nicky Top with leopard shoes
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!
What do you like most about the new J.Crew roll out?

      It's an awesome year round color. Summer, fall, winter, spring - so versatile.

      Tiffany - I love the colors you wear! I'm excited about the wearable items in the style guide this month. J.Crew sometimes goes over the top in some pairings, so having some wearable items in this guide was a positive surprise.

    I love that shade of green.

    I like way too many things, but in the meantime I got the fatigue jacket for the upcoming rainy season, the tall minnies in cabernet and the multicolor tweed skirt (a steal at under $19 in the store). Also the skirt in eyelet for next summer (that was another deal that came to under $12).

    These are all great picks! I'm loving all the colors this season. Like you, I couldn't resist the colorblock tee in both colors either. :) Isn't it a fun top? I plan to layer mine so I can keep wearing it when the temperature drops.
