I had high hopes for the Wool Bell Skirt from J.Crew. It looks to be comfy and quite versatile – perfect for fall – which is all a girl can ask for in a skirt!

I’ve seen this skirt look cute on other people, but it just doesn’t look right on me. I got my usual size in J.Crew skirts, but somehow it looks more like a short pencil skirt on me than how it looks on this model and on others.

I’m wearing: J.Crew Vintage Cotton Henley, J.Crew Smooth Leather Belt, Banana Republic Dahlia Wedges

The elastic is pretty wide and not too tight, so it’s comfortable. The length is also pretty good and definitely work appropriate. Overall, I think this is a nice skirt, but it’s not for me.

Get it here from J.Crew for $79.50.

I had planned to get the Palisades Cardigan when it first came out, but had forgotten it as part of my orders. Since it didn’t make sense just to purchase it, especially with the shipping fees, I waited until a while after it went on sale and I was ready to place another large order. I googled it before purchasing and surprisingly saw a lot of rave reviews.

Right after I got it, I abruptly realized this was the perfect cardigan for me. I’m constantly in tank & cardigan combos, which I love, but I hate buttoning up cardigans but if I leave them open, I hate how they just fly open and flop around when there’s any wind. The Palisades cardigan fixes that! I don’t have to button it, I can tie it with a cute bow, and it’ll hang loose but not sloppily flap everywhere.

The cotton material is soooo soft and so comfortable. I’m so tempted to get all the other colors but the others seem too close to my skin color to work. I got a Medium, which is usually what I get in J.Crew cardigans, and it fits perfectly. Love this purchase and highly recommend; it will definitely be a go-to in my wardrobe through all the seasons.

Get it here from J.Crew for $59.99 on Final Sale.

How cute is the Ruffled Jersey Dress from J.Crew? When I ordered it last week, it was already on backorder, which makes me think this dress is quite popular. Or they were just short in stock.

It’s super soft, comfy knit and the vertical ruffles are flattering and feminine. The length is somewhat short, but considering I will mainly wear this with tights and boots this fall, I’m not complaining. I’m a huge fan of the Heather Carbon color this season, which I plan to wear a lot with cognac-ish belts and boots.

I’m wearing: J.Crew Equestrian Leather Belt, J.Crew Cobblestone Bracelet, Gucci Wedges (similar here)

Even though it was way too hot to throw on anything over this dress, here’s a fall-ish look for this dress – belted with a long cardigan! That will probably be a staple combo for me this fall/winter. Love gray with burgundy!

I’m wearing: J.Crew Forever Cardigan (similar here), J.Crew Equestrian Leather Belt, J.Crew Cobblestone Bracelet, Gucci Wedges (similar here)

I took a Small in this dress and I would say it’s definitely true to size, if not slightly larger.

Get it here from J.Crew for $90.
