The new Cotton Pimm Skirt from J.Crew is basically the Cotton Nico Skirt from last season reinvented in new colors. I’m not sure many people were really fans of the Cotton Nico Skirt, so I have no idea why they released it again. But, I happened to like that skirt and absolutely love the new Wild Mushroom color, so this was a must-try for me.

In real life the Wild Mushroom color seemed a bit dull and not as saturated as this catalog picture would seem to depict. It also was not the most flattering, and now that I try on my Cotton Nico Skirt again, it’s not all that flattering either. What was I thinking?

I’m wearing: J.Crew Sequin Necklace Tank, J.Crew Wychmere Studded Flip Flops

It was relatively shapeless but stiff. I felt compelled to stick my hand into the pockets (yes, at least there are pockets) in order to flare out the skirt a bit. It’s a cute little skirt, I guess, but I’m just not jumping for joy over it.

Get it here from J.Crew for $64.50.

BTW – Little shout out to the cutest rubber flip flops ever. J.Crew Wychmere Studded Flip Flops. Only $16.50!

The Sequin Necklace tank from J.Crew is a jazzed up basic knit tank. It’s sparkly and comfortable, but definitely not worth the price tag.

I’m wearing: J.Crew Canterbury Bells Pencil Skirt, Banana Republic Dahlia Wedges

My pictures don’t really show how sparkly the tank is, but it is VERY glittery under sunlight. I’d probably keep this for $30, but while I like the detailing, I don’t love it for $64. I got this in Small and it fits fine, even relatively loosely. Beauty of slub cotton.

Get it here from J.Crew for $64.

I’m always very excited when I see an item that has a ton of wardrobe potential go on sale for a really good price. The Drapey Wool Mackenzie Jacket from J.Crew was no exception. I don’t really own any blazers and this could be something I pop on to every outfit to look just a touch more put together. Since it’s cut short, I can also wear it with dresses and belt it.

I’m wearing: J.Crew Sequin Stripe Henley Tank, J.Crew Metallic Moss Jacquard Skirt (on sale right now!), Tory Burch Julianne Peep Toe Wedges (also on sale!)

This jacket is very comfortable. The drapey wool feels like a light but substantial weight. I usually wear a Small in tops and Medium in sweaters at J.Crew; I got this in a 6, which is also my shirt size at J.Crew, and it fit me perfectly. Here’s a shot unbuttoned and to the side.

I’m wearing: J.Crew Sequin Stripe Henley Tank, J.Crew Metallic Moss Jacquard Skirt (on sale right now!), Tory Burch Julianne Peep Toe Wedges (also on sale!)

I’d highly recommend this blazer, especially at this price. It’s comfortable, it’s relatively breezy and not too heavy, and it definitely makes you look very put together almost instantly.

Get it here from J.Crew for $59.99!
