many of you know i’m a big fan of J.Crew known for their classics with a twist. J.Crew has carried timeless clothes since its inception in 1983. does anyone remember their first catalog? it was love at first sight for me. this brand speaks stripes fluently. as a matter of fact, their summer strip shop is open just in time for national stripe day june 21st. but if you’re in the mood for something other than stripes, let’s chat about J.Crew summer tops. they’re light and bright, and have bursts of color. of course, they offer tops in neutrals as well. but come summer a pop of color is necessary. bright colors just put a smile on your face. and J.Crew summer tops have that in spades.
for whatever reason, our weather has been exceptionally mild as of late. today’s high is 69 degrees. yep, you read that right. 69 degrees in june in georgia. i’ll take it! and since it’s not too hot nor too cold, i decided a classic summer blazer was in order. this linen blazer was last seen here, but it has and will be on repeat all summer long. this blazer is the perfect weight for hot summer temps. and it’s white, which goes with everything. like this cute summer top in my favorite color – pink.
vintage straight denim jeans are made from sustainably dyed organic cotton, which makes them incredibly soft and comfortable. and they have J.Crew’s slimming pockets that lifts you up and holds you in. the light wash rinse is perfect for summer. these jeans look great with flats.
the top has a flutter sleeve.

Beth,
Loved the way you wear flattering pink at your face. And the pop of pink at your feet is genius. Small details do make the difference!
I love J Crew! You’re right they’re classics with a twist. I’ve never really been a Talbot’s girl. Except for their curvy fit petite jeans I have no luck in their store. I can’t get behind the “mascot” Talbot’s insist they have every season. Ladybugs, Scotties or Butterflys embroidered or embellished on shirts, pants, handbags and sweaters. My only issue with J Crew is their T shirts. Haven’t owned one in years that didn’t develop those tiny holes in the front towards the bottom. Every year they the SA insist this year the quality has improved but I haven’t found that to be true. Don’t know if you’ve had issues with the tees or can recommend some cotton tees that are of a better quality.
We’ve had cooler, pleasant temps here in NC, too. I am loving it. I know it won’t last, but I’ll soak it up while it’s here! I do love J Crew–they have lots of fun pieces.
Me encantas Beth, eres un ejemplo a seguir de las mujeres maduras pero fashion, a mí también me encantan los jeans y tengo 72 pero me encanta la moda y vestir dentro de mi edad , pero moderna, te saludo con cariño.
Hi Lisa, I know what you mean about tee shirts, any brand, and the holes they get at the bottom of the front. I came up with a theory that the holes come from leaning against something like the kitchen sink, and the button of your pants or shorts digs into the tee shirt and weakens that area, causing the holes. That seems to be just the spot where holes in my tees will show up.
