JCA "Help Style Me!" Weekly Post

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this post) says it best, "You know, that thing you bought because you love it and you keep pulling it out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please share your J.Crew item (either that you own or are thinking about getting) that you would love help creating an outfit with.

Also, please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel free to include links to your blog (where you incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance! :)

  1. Hi Ladies - my viridian skirt has actually shipped - what do you recommend to wear with it in a conservative workplace? I can come up with lots of cute ideas for weekend wear, but am lacking imagination for work!

  2. WMM - It looks lovely with the casbah blouse (or perfect shirt). Do you need to wear blazers, or do you just mean nothing too trendy? It will look sleek and pretty with the merino (or cashmere if you can swing it) turtleneck sweaters in camel or the bright colors (including the viridian green). I also love the new cashmere henley, either alone with it or with a button-up shirt under it. Silk blouses are always pretty with pencil skirts as well.

  3. Thanks Shopwithm,

    I do typically wear blazers, although depending on the day, can get aware with a very nice cardi - the casbah blouse is a good idea. I am not that great with camel close to my face - am the black/ivory, jewel tone kind of complexion. I will look at the henley - that is a neat idea!

  4. Schoolboy canvas blazer...it took me months to find it in my size, I snagged it about 3 weeks ago and I have yet to wear it. Any ideas for work? My workplace is fairly casual, so jeans and shorts are a-ok. ... Thanks!

  5. I know we are supposed to ask wardrobe questions here but I don't know where I can ask it!

    Does anyone know when (these pants will be out) or where these pants are?

    They are in the fall collection, burgundy, probably wool with a belt and look like wide leg trousers.

    The only spot I see them in is on the model for the merino turtle necks.

    Any info? Thanks!!

  6. WWM,

    I bough the viridian green skirt 2 days ago and it is GORGEOUS!

    Although I admit that it is more green than blue. The color on the website is quite deceiving, but beautiful nonetheless.

  7. I just got the nut macallister wedges as a gift today and am a bit confused as to what to wear them with. They're great with jeans obviously, but what else? Thanks!
