It’s a little too chilly to take photos outside right now—at least in my old age. 😉 Crazy to think what I did 10, even five years ago! Stand outside in a dress in the snow? Totes. I’ve got this. 🙈 My life is a bit more realistic these days, though, so some good old-fashioned mirror selfies seem perfect for March in Chicago!
So let’s just in. :)

Demi-Boot Sweater Pant
First up are the most magnificent black pants I’ve ever tried on. EVER. I mean it, Friends. They’re insane. They’re this cross between Ponte and sweater material, and they have a big, wide waistband that flattens everything out. They have a little piping down the front and a slight kick-out cropped leg. They’re perfect. Definitely pants you could wear to work and formal events, but also feel wonderfully comfortable in. Heck, I’d take a road trip or get on a flight with them! Highly, highly recommend. I’m wearing the size small here; I’d say they’re true to size.

Demi-Boot Jean in Rinse Wash
On to our next pair of pants! As you probably know, I’m a huge fan of J.Crew’s Demi-boot jeans. They’re fitted and smoothing up top, with that great (usually cropped) kick-out leg. Besides my tried-and-true skinny jeans, I find them to be the most flattering cut of denim in my closet. Anyway, J.Crew is finally offering a very dark wash in the Demi-boot, which works so well for things like dinners, concerts and evening get-togethers. Keep in mind that these are a more structured denim because of the dark wash, but I do think they run TTS!

Oh my goodness. This is such a gorgeous block-print dress—WITH POCKETS—for a total steal! It’s made out of a very light (but lined) cotton material, and I just adore the smocking and ruffled hem. I tried two sizes since I’m usually in between, and went with the smaller one. What a fun dress to wear to Mexico!

Block-Print Quilted Jacket
This is the winner from the try-on. I’m obsessed! It’s the sweetest little block-print cotton jacket with a blue striped lining. I love. Note the big buttons, which I think makes it. It has side pockets, and comes in a great blue block print, too. If in between sizes, I would go down. I’m wearing the size 2 here (which is what I normally order from J.Crew, and I likely could have gone down to the 0.) Take note that it’s 70 percent off right now! Such a steal.

Emilie Patch-Pocket Sweater Lady Jacket in Stripe
And here’s the runner up! This 100-percent cotton sweater is wonderfully soft, and it features a great chunky knit. The brass buttons are adorable, as are the little patch pockets. Note that it is cropped, so you will likely need to wear high-waisted jeans with it. (Or you could wear it open with a tank, or over a dress!) I’m wearing a size small here, which I think is the right one. :) Comes in solid black and solid red as well.
