I’ve seen a lot of positive reviews of the Victoria Ruffle Tissue Cami in the blogosphere, hence why I bought it though I never really paid much attention to it first. I thought it would be too “tissue-y” and therefore cling and show every tiny bump and roll on the body, rather than drape nicely throughout.

I got a Small, my usual knit tee size, and it fits fine. It does cling but it’s very soft and comfortable. I may not feel totally comfortable wearing it untucked because it will easily show whether my lunch was light or not (mostly not). But tucked into pencil and mini skirts, it’s adorable and do-able!

I love that it gives the dressy, ruffly feel of the Frances/Victoria/Palmera silk ruffle camis (click here to see what I mean), but is 10 times softer, more comfortable, and much more wearable. I found myself wanting to wear it with every skirt I own, hence why you see it here with the Brushstroke Mini and then in the post below with the Ink Blossom Pencil Skirt! Not only does it match almost everything but the dressiness of it matches perfectly with the dressiness pencil/mini skirts already give off. Here’s a close up of the ruffles.

I really wish I had also picked up the Prism necklace from J.Crew. Wouldn’t it look perfect with this top and this outfit?? Anyway, I highly recommend this top, especially at the low $29.99 price. It’s hard to find something that will make you look so put together but is so comfortable and soft.

Get it here from J.Crew for $29.99! A ton of colors are still available!

I was on the fence about the Ink Blossom Pencil Skirt from J.Crew. I just couldn’t decide if I hated it or loved it. The colors are ok it seems, but what exactly is the pattern? Floral? “Artistic” ink blotches? Leopard? I just didn’t really get it. But I’m really loving the shorter pencil skirt length so I figured I would try it for myself.

Well, it came and I love it! In fact, while I was trying on different tops and planning outfits for work, I kept pulling this skirt out and thinking the top would look cutest with it. It clearly fills some kind of void in my wardrobe. Out of my print pencil skirts, I have mostly lighter pencil skirts (think Sunshine Peony Pencil Skirt, Canterbury Bells Pencil Skirt, etc.) so this one definitely fits right in.

Please excuse the I’m-too-full-from-dinner look. I felt super comfortable in this skirt and really did not want to take it off. The fabric is a soft linen canvas material, much like the Brushstroke Mini actually. Light, moves with your body, comfortable. It is also pretty versatile – matches with light and dark colored tops.

It looks so put together even when I just throw on a plain white tee! Gotta love pencil skirts. It also hit me that I now own everything necessary to recreate the J.Crew styled look, so here it is.

Pretty cute, right? I’m a huge fan. This one is a definite keeper. Oh, and I got my usual pencil skirt size. Fits perfectly!

Get it here from J.Crew for $110 (now on sale for only $59.99!).

Ok, now I know I say this often, but the Cropped Vintage Denim Jacket from J.Crew truly is my new favorite piece of clothing ever. I had no idea how a denim jacket would look on me. Would I be able to pull it off? Would I look hokey and more trashy than chic? I had some hope because the J.Crew model looks so super cute and chic in the marketing picture, but we all know how that can end up IRL.

And now I literally want to throw it on top of every outfit. It’s like how belts have been for me recently – it just completes the outfit. If I feel like something is missing, I throw on this jacket and it always look cute (to me, at least!).

Of course, because this jacket is cropped, you can’t wear it with a top that’s cut on the shorter side. Then it just looks like you’re wearing a jacket that’s a bit too short and maybe not the right size. I imagine this is cutest with a top that will be longer than the jacket, paired with a shorter bottom. Or maybe a top tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt. Will have to try that one. Lucky for me, it’s a no-brainer to pair with dresses and I have a ton of those.

I just wish it was Spring or Fall and not Summer, because it is wayyyy too hot right now to be wearing any kind of jacket out. I got my usual shirt size in this jacket (a 6), and the arms a slightly too tight but I think maybe I just have plump arms.

I highly recommend this jacket, especially at the insanely dirt cheap price of $39.99. Get it here from J.Crew now before it sells out!
