WHAT I'M WEARNG: THE PERFECT SHIRT TWO WAYS








What is it about J. Crew that makes it simply impossible to get enough of whatever it is they have going on?  Well, it might have something to do with the way they can go from everyday preppy chic to of-the-moment glam.  Their options are completely on-trend but never trendy.  In a word....perfect.

So, What I'm Wearing today is the J. Crew Perfect Shirt done in two wonderful ways.  First, let's Go Glam.  The plaid topper can be easily dressed up with addition of a few cleverly chosen items that you likely already have in your closet.  Try pairing it first with your favorite black skinnies, as they are always ready to turn on their chameleon charm and get the job done.  Next, cozy up with a warm faux fur vest.  This versatile layering piece is one of my favorites for fall and winter as it can effortlessly take any outfit wherever it needs to go.  Finally, let your accessories set the tone by adding in bits of glamour.  Gold accents like this J. Crew pave link bracelet and those on this Legacy Coach handbag are the perfect choice.  They're dressy enough to elevate the look but fit the daytime feel.  Suede booties in an unexpected shade and a chic pair of sunnies polish your look off perfectly.

Of course, there are those days when you want to keep your look casual and a bit more relaxed.  Yet again, the Perfect Shirt can definitely do just that.  Start by pulling out your favorite well-worn denim skinnies.  Keep the comfort going with the next layer, a soft and warm quilted vest.  Add in a personal touch with a great necklace.  This monogrammed piece is one of my personal favorites.  The look is almost complete but not without a pair of boots your feet will love you for and a fun hat that'll keep you warm while looking adorable.

Don't you just love whenever you can get this much extra mileage out of your favorite wardrobe pieces?  So whether your weekend takes you uptown or down, you're ready for the fun that finds you.  Wishing you a wonderful weekend....Enjoy!
