OOTD J. Crew Tippi sweater in polka dot

Cool weather is here and I can't wait to pull out my thin sweaters. I can't say that I love the cooler weather. Cooler weather comes with shorter days and sooner or later, snow will hit. So not looking forward to it.

I didn't realize I am wearing all J. Crew today. I also carry my J. Crew tillary canvas tote too :)

I am really loving this tippi in polka dot. Currently this color is sold out online but I'm sure it will pop back sooner or later.

Aside from my new beloved ballet flats from J. Crew(see blog here), I got a few sweaters on the same order.

When I first saw this, it didn't quite catch my eye. But the more I look at the navy paired with retro jade, it started to grow on me. I have been obsessed with the minty color all spring/summer. But thought the retro jade will blend very well into fall.

I am trying to wear as much light-colored pants as I can before the cold weather hits. It is such a pair of super-comfy pants. Love them!

Going back to this rugby stripe boatneck top. This is a linen/rayon mix fabric. Interesting mix. It is a bit "rough"to the touch. So if you have sensitive skin, you may find this top quite itchy. But I'm ok with that. It has a more of a boxy fit. I went with my normal size with this and this fits fine. I am just starting to love the retro jade color. Very flattening and goes well with a lot of colors. I love stripes and I'm contemplating to go grab it in cabernet (the burgundy/fuchsia combination).

J. Crew Scout Chino + more reviews

Visiting family in Toronto and decided to pay a trip to J. Crew at Yorkdale.

I usually make a shopping plan before I head into the store as I know I always get overwhelmed when I get there. Want to shop for pants this time so browse online beforehand.

Have been shopping for a pair of colored denim for a while. Want a pair of mint/light blue color. Have tried on a few but no luck so far as they are either low-rise or very skinny.

When I saw the scout chino online, I thought that may work.

And when I got to the store, saw the gondola top which I love when I first saw it online and had to try it on.

Gondola stripe top in size 6

The material is very soft. I thought it is all silk but it has a certain texture to it so makes it more substantial. I would say a bit velvety on the touch. Very nice and I love it.

Next grabbed the scout chino in mint. From the website, the color does not show up very well. It is a very light mint color, which is what I like.

Scout Chino in mint in size 6

I grabbed a size 4 and a 6 to try on. The first picture was a size 4 and it fits ok on the waist. I tried on the size 6 next and it fits better and I like the length better. The material is not as thick as the toothpick jeans which I like it better.

Cafe Capri in bright dahlia in size 4

I wasn't looking for a pair of bright fuscia pants but I wanted to try it on and totally amazed of how well it fits. No wonder it is so many others rave about this. Only this color is on sale. My sales associate told me that they just put these on sale 5 mins earlier. They were on sale for $82.

Cafe Capri in Pop Art Polka Dot in size 4

Obsessed with polka dot and how could I resist this polka dot capri pants? But I'm not sure besides a white or black top, I can't wear much else with this bold pattern. So, will pass on this one....... for now.

I ended up getting everything but the polka dot pants. I wasn't going to get the scout chino but they fit so comfortably and after trying on numerous mint colored jeans/pants, I don't want to let this pair go. Knowing my luck, J. Crew will have a 30% off sale this weekend online. But I will be in town for a few more days so if that happens, will bring that back and repurchased online.
