Last week I decided to go for it with the direction my hair was headed in. I went for the JCrew look (as best as I could). And I think I kinda liked it! I’m not normally a girl who likes to have my hair all the way off my face, but I gotta say, it felt so good! Wish my hair was longer so I could wear a top knot (sock bun, whatever you wanna call it!) way more often. I think I’ve seriously underestimated it. Darn this short hair! 😉

Anyway, I looked in the latest JCrew catalogue and copied everything I saw or remember seeing. I mean, luckily I had this bracelet which bears an uncanny resemblance to this JCrew one—again, for about half the price. Fabulous.

JCrew Chambray, Gap Shorts, Zinnia Bracelet, Timex Watch, Target Shoes, Anthropologie Headband (old – similar)

So Jill put up a photo of her trying on some lace shorts yesterday, and I remembered how I’ve been looking for a good pair for a while. And last year, my friend Tracy wore an outfit similar to this one I’ve created below (actually her shirt was a bit more army inspired, but close to this shape. so cute!), and it was so chic! She’s a mom and needs to be able to move around, look nice, and not have her shirt pulled down at any given moment. I have to admit, she’s one of my fashion icons.

Top, Watch, Flip Flops, Shorts

PS: Tracy wears these flip flops with everything! Dressed up or down, she makes them look so good! Don’t know how she does it. See more Tracy in this post. She’s the hottie in the plaid shirt (and that’s her baby!)
