J. Crew Love: Animal Print Shorts and Neon Boucle Tweet Jacket

Pin It

Happy Day Most Stylish Friends!

The majority of today's ensemble comes straight to you from my 

unequivocal favorite modern day retailer.  I struggle with labeling 

anything as "favorite," but I think it's safe to say J. Crew has held strong 

to that title since I was in the 6th grade. I remember my excitement in 

checking the mail to discover those preppy-casual filled pages of  

J. Crew, and later, a second catalog, Clifford & Wills, just waiting for 

me to dog ear.  As I type this, we are half way through the month 

of June.  Where is the summer going?  I was shocked to learn the items 

styled here are part of the LAST of this season's summer designs 

and shipments!  How can this be true??  Better hurry into the Crew!

I am 100% in love with this outfit from head to toe.  

I collaborated with J. Crew South Park's personal shopper 

extraordinaire, Meghan Stevens, to lovingly showcase some of our 

favorite pieces in the collection.  Accessorizing is the way to really style 

an outfit all your own.  Starting with the belt and necklace, I could have 

gone in a few different directions with this.  Admittedly, I often times 

have to real in the creative freedom associated with accessorizing, but in

this case I relinquished the reigns and opted to let the clothes take center

stage.  I did manage to incorporate some of my favorite pieces

into this classic, yet colorful and fun ensemble.

Shorts: c/o J.Crew, Jacket: c/o J.Crew, Shirt: c/o J.Crew, Purse: My Great-Grandmother's, Shoes: Michael Kors (old), but here's a pair, Sunglasses: Blinde Natural Born Thriller, also here's a less expensive pair, Necklace: old, but here's one, Earrings: old, but here's a pair I adore, Rings: Turquoise-belonged to my Grandmother, here's my fav new cocktail ring, Custom from Diamond's Direct and Tiffany, Bracelets: Stella & Dot Nugget Wrap and Renegade Cluster bracelets, J.Crew and my Grandmother's.

If you're seeking a little creative influence while shopping at J. Crew
South Park, don't wait to see Meghan or any of the talented personal
shoppers at J. Crew. Call 704-365-9355. Working with these ladies is so

much fun.  Adding to the fun, take 20% off the purchase of your first
appointment with Meghan.  Have fun, and let me know what you get!

For the love of creative collaboration, in great style, 

thank you so much for reading!  Whitley
