Random J.Crew tee shirt porn

J.Crew painter elbow-sleeve boatneck tee


My daughter likes to, ah, "borrow" my shirts, which tends to leave me a tad bereft of same. Naturally, this coincides with the arrival of the J.Crew catalog. (I would carp there's no coupon inside, but the 'Crew have been pretty good about mark-downs.)

For ages, I've been a sucker for boatneck tees. They were once (what am I saying? up until recently) incredibly difficult to find. I recall a navy-blue and white striped version I owned at about age fourteen; I clung to it, unable to replace it. Now, boatneck ubiquitousness...is everywhere!

I still have the two three-quarter sleeve boatneck tees I got March-ish of 2010. They've worn well, considering I don't wear them constantly, and, just today, I was thinking how nice it would be to find something like them with shorter sleeves. Enter the elbow-sleeve incarnation.

ootd

Cardigan: J.Crew
Shirt: J.Crew
Skirt: gifted
Nude fishnets
Shoes: old

Haven't worn these shoes in about a year. Felt a bit ethereal on my feet, and not only because they are amongst the few bona fide heels I own. They reminded me suddenly of vintage pumps I'd worn at age fourteen or fifteen. Vintage was so easy to find, in 1970's-1980's Virginia—I'm not even sure we called it vintage?

This is the Perfect shirt in two-color gingham, Thomas Mason fabric shirt ("Light Jade"). Mmm...I bought it on sale. Would I have paid fp? nah, probably not. Yet it is blue-green gingham gorgeousness. For all the copy about it being more fitted than the regular Perfect shirts, I do not find it so. In fact it seems a bit bigger than my regular Perfect shirt size (not enough so's I'd have to size down).

Wah! You cannot see my swanky earrings (right-hand side):

handmade earrings

(Sundry prehnite, peridot and tourmaline stones.)

The pic was from last Thursday, when I officially retired tights and boots for the season, donned a light green shirt, the aforementioned green earrings, and an updo.
