Big Plans

So this is how my afternoon went.....I think I'll take the kids to Chik-fil-a for dinner since my hubby won't be home, then I won't have to cook. Oooh but if I give them leftovers then I can get a run in and maybe have a glass of wine. Oh yes a run, that would be fantastic. Driving home from work.........hmmmm I'm kind of tired and there's a bunch of things I really want to do when I get home maybe I won't get a run in. Once I got home: Yea there is zero chance of me getting a run in so I'll just pour myself a glass of wine......and now here I sit in front of my computer, drinking a glass of wine in my comfy clothes. Oh well, I had good intentions.

So now on to the outfit picture. Remember how I mentioned I am obsessed with J. Crew? Or did I not mention that? Well I am. I love, love, love their clothes, jewelry and shoes. However although I love all of it I limit myself because some of their stuff is on the pricey side. Anyway the top I'm wearing is a J. Crew splurge. I fell in love with it when I saw it and of course they did not have my size in store or in the catalog however the very helpful operator at J. Crew did a search in every J. Crew to find my size and then shipped it directly to me for free. Now that's customer service. I can see myself getting lots of use out of this cardigan. I love the detail J. Crew is showing in their tees, sweaters and tops this year.

Cardigan.......J. Crew

Jeans.......Lucky Brand via the Lucky outlet in Rehoboth

Belt......Fossil via Boscov's

Tank.......Old Navy

Shoes.......St. John's Bay

The shoes are new also. They were exactly what I've been looking for but of course there is a story that goes along with them too. I got a flyer in the mail from JCPenney with these shoes listed at a sale price of $34.99. Not a bad deal for suede shoes. Go to the store with flyer in hand and try to purchase the shoe at the sale price listed. The shoes are ringing up at $39.99 and I try to reason with the clerk that they should honor the sale price in the flyer but no go, they just didn't want to listen. So bought the shoes anyway and then went to the Catalog desk upstairs and chatted with a very nice lady and explained to her my issues. She agreed with me and refunded me the difference. Seriously those people were ticking me off but in the end it all worked out. Shoes are very comfy and will serve me well this fall/winter. Wasn't really feeling any jewelry this morning so we'll call this a minimalist look.

Have a great evening!
