Wardrobe Challenge, Day #3

Big Day - 1st Vet Appointment - Lucy was so well-behaved. I was so proud!! That Puppies for Dummes book has really been fantastic - so sad, but it really is helpful. We are really working on the not jumping up.

With the vet visit, today's ensemble needed to be totally washable. And it was supposed to actually get to spring weather. Time to bring back out the J Crew Tissue, adding my tank and Chicos jeans... plus some cute canvas flats from LL Bean, and some pearls. Gotta have a little sparkle, huh? Looking at the pics I realize that I really probably did buy this hoodie a size larger than I needed. (this was the slimmest look of the hoodie in the pics) Oh yeah, and the camera totally cut off my head because it was one of those days and I took the pics later than usual and we were downstairs and I don't have a good pic spot downstairs yet.

I have been wearing a lot of short necklaces this week because they seem like the smartest choice. I can't wait to go back to longer and layered necklaces and/or bracelets - but right now with a 12-week-old puppy, I feel like that is just asking her to chew on me, you know. We are going to a happy hour on Friday and a dinner party on Saturday sans chien, so I am definitely jeweling up for those.

And what a gorgeous day it was! Back to colder temps tomorrow.

J Crew Tissue Hoodie

Hello, Spring Weather! You are the perfect reason to bring out the J Crew Tissue Hoodie. (#10091,orig $49.50, currently $39.99 online) I got this at a B&M in late January for $19.99, while they had 30% off final sale, so it was $13.99. Inconsistent pricing, ARGH. But when it's in my favor, I'll take it. I guess the downside is I couldn't return it, but I love it - so no worries there! Would I pay the current 39.99 price for it? I don't know, maybe if I had nothing like it in my closet. The color I got is light pewter, which I am really drawn to this year. The hoodie is currently available online light pewter, champagne, and natural. By the way, this is a big reason that I didn't get the french terry double zip hoodie in light pewter - too close.

I really like the kind of rolled unfinished edge nest to the cuffs & bottom band, along the neckline, and the pockets. They give it a nice detail. Fit-wise - I sized up to a large because I wanted the looser fit. And did I tell you how soft this hoodie is? Oh, it is soft... It is so soft... It is so so very very very soft. You can't help but be happy in something this comfy.

With a nice semi-light weight overall, it's perfect for a spring day. I could just bum around with a tank and yoga pants. Or, like today, toss on that white tank with some dark (i.e. trusty Chicos) jeans, last spring's Target gray patent flats, and a sparkly necklace. I'm ready to go. I can also easily picture it with the usual summer white jeans, or a cute skirt, or some fun shorts a la the top picture, some fun sandals. Lots of options!

Time to go back outside and play. Hope you have nice weather wherever you are!
