I stopped by the Pacific Place J.Crew in Seattle to return the Natasha tops (I
blogged about them a few weeks ago. I bought two of them at full price because I loved them so much. You know those cute little dainty buttons? Well, they don't stay buttoned and they are wardrobe malfunctions waiting to happen. Let's just say I had an awkward moment in a presentation, which led me to returning both of them).
I was exited to see the new shipments in with the purple colors, especially the
Majesty Coat:

How much do I love this coat? Well let me tell you about it. It is so beautiful. (I didn't take a pic with it buttoned - arg!) I was a bit surprised by the purple color in real life since it looks different than the catalog or online (Excuse the shoes and tights. I look like an idiot. I had on black shoes with black tights and tried on beige shoes):

If you read my previous
posts, you know that I dig the J.Crew Paisley. I got the summer skirt with navy and orange and love it. I had to get the Royal Paisley no.2 pencil skirt. The purple, green and yellow colors are beautiful and the skirt isn't heavy, so you could wear it year round. I tried on the crazy Royal Paisley with paisley combo with the top and
no. 2 pencil skirt, like online:
In real life, it didn't work for me, although I like them separately. That model would look good in a paper bag, but I can't bring myself to do that much pattern. It felt too Prince, circa Purple Rain.

I do like the
scoopneck blouse and skirt separately, and can't wait to wear them with other items I own.
I did actually buy something that wasn't purple and neutral. I got the
Biella high-heel loafers in Warm Taupe regular $265 on sale for $59.99! Shut the front door! I couldn't pass these up. These shoes have 4 inch heels. I can walk in them and they are more comfortable then they look, but they are sitting shoes and not walking a lot shoes. They are really pretty. The warm taupe color makes the legs look really long.

I now have Prince songs playing in my head. How was your week?
