Ensemble du Jour

I'm sure you can tell I'm a fan of JCrew. Their clothes appeal to the preppy classic eclectic in me like Anthropologie appeals the the more quirky classic.

I love the details and the layers because they pull together great color combinations and they mix up girly and streamlined.



I loved the looks in the latest Fall/Winter 2009 catalog and having just purchased a pair of matchstick cords, the FiFi ruffle cardigan and a sparkly necklace, I did my own JCrew-esque combination.

I'm not sure what it is about this but I find the white, black, sage, sparkly, pearls elements give a sort of deconstructed Chanel feel about it too. Maybe it's just me.

Ruffles! And rolled up cuffs, the better to see your shoes with, my dear!
