A cozy OOTD, J.crewlet review, and Flower Lattice Necklace Knockoff Alert

Ever since my dog broke my mirror, I've pretty much stopped taking OOTD photos. But I had one outfit I really liked, and then I bought a top I wanted to review, so we'll have to make do with horrible bathroom photos here.

I bought some merino leggings from Madewell and they are holding up beautifully after multiple wears - not a pill in sight!

The best part is, it looks like I am wearing real clothing, but it feels like I am wearing soft, comfy pajamas. I even got a compliment on this outfit, which I was not expecting at all! The dress is also merino from last year, J.Crew., and the scarf is the wide cashmere wrap from J.Crew.


I perused the new spring offerings from the J.Crewlet, and there is much to love. Since it is still freezing outside, I restrained myself and only bought one thing which sadly does not seem to be available online. Shame on them, because I think it would be a great seller! It is an oxford perfect shirt in a similar print as these printed toothpick jeans in "indigo tile vines". I wore it the other day and just loved it - and I am not a button down shirt person. But the oxford material means if you take it out of the drier immediately, there should be no need for ironing! I don't do clothing that needs to be ironed.

It fits the same as other crewlet perfect shirts. I am a 6/8 in regular perfect shirts and I took a small in this one - and it didn't even gape at the bust. It looks nice with the fuschia tippi, I think!

It is 100% cotton and I think was $69.50ish. The material is thick and sturdy, typical oxford material. I love how pretty and feminine the print is. Do you like it too?


One last thing. Y'know the flower lattice necklace, the one that I've been pining over for months now? The one that sold for $450 on eBay? (RIDICULOUS. It's costume jewelry, people!)

J Crew necklace   (see more j crews)

Well, I found a knockoff at TJ. Maxx. Behold:

Ok, so it's not exact, but it has the same sentiment. It is not quite as weighty as the real deal, and it isn't as grand, but for $39.99, I am keeping it. I googled the Leslie Danzis brand and apparently it is sold at Nordstrom Rack and other stores, in addition to TJX stores. I have seen many other J.Crew jewelry knockoffs at TJ Maxx that were by this brand and were exact copies. So, maybe you'll get lucky and find a coveted piece for less. It's a little shady that they blatantly rip off J.Crew, but if J.Crew would make more of the multicolored flower lattice necklaces, I would happily buy one at full price (which I know is something I never do... but I would make an exception). Are you listening, J.Crew?
