Wardrobe Challenge, Day #4 - plus J Crew Tissue Boyfriend Vneck Tee

Whew, crazy day. The rain held off just long enough to walk Lucy to and from the bus stop. (Both times today - Yay! we are finally walking!!) But then it was just a deluge. Ugh. So here is the outfit for the day. First of all, this is my cute green corduroy jacket that my sister got me for my birthday a few years ago, from the Gap. I love the color it adds to any outfit! It's a little boxy, but hello, it is wide-wale corduroy and I like to delude myself into thinking that the punch of color distracts from it making my upper half look like a cube. Looks especially good with a fun scarf, but it wasn't quite that chilly this morning. Of course, right after the bus stop, I spent the rest of the day using my good old LLBean Rugged Ridge parka-so I was warm, dry, and toasty!

Also pictured here is my underlayer - the J Crew Tissue Boyfriend Vneck Tee (#11657, $29.50 online, but believe on special at B&M) in shell. I believe I have waxed poetic about them before (basically awesome, I say!). Love them! So unbelievably soft! And just, you know, soft. Did I mention how soft it is? So this is the IRL pic. If I were wearing this on its own, I would definitely layer a cami underneath - you can totally see the top of my jeans and the outline of my supposedly nude, invisible bra. Maybe if I were wearing khaki pants and a better bra, I wouldn't need to. The gray and navy are totally fine - do not need the under layer. As I shared before, the white one was way sheer when I looked at it in store. Don't forget how soft it is! (Ok, I'll stop now - but yes, I am very tactile. Don't get me started on cashmere again.)

So what did I put in between? (Sorry, had to do it in this order so I didn't feel like I was undressing as I went along the post.) The J Crew Cotton Vneck Sweater (#11022, orig $64, curr $49.50 online - believe I got it at B&M for $29.99 plus 30% off) in navy. This is actually a replacement for me. I had a very similar sweater from BR that was just done and ready to retire. Trust me, it owed me nothing. So when I saw this one, I was thrilled because it had the same exact cut (and longer length). So so so happy with this sweater. I think I actually would have paid full price for this sweater - that's how much I wore the old one. So I was particularly happy to get it on sale. With white jeans, it's the perfect spring outfit. Not so sure I'll be wearing my white jeans for a while with Lucy...

And once again, Chicos jeans, and the LL Bean canvas skimmers from yesterday in navy with white polka dots (Summer 08). They did add a little *spring* to my step. (Ohhh, ouch, groan, pardon the pun.)

Of course, for puppy class tonight, sweater and skimmers went bye bye and were replaced with a sweatshirt and my Crocs ballet flats. Much more practical for that excursion!

Just to share, here's a picture of the world's laziest dog. She woke up from a nap, walked a few steps to the water bowl, and then laid down to drink. Must be nice...
