La Parisienne JCREW Sweater – Whimsical & Warm!

002 page_1 (1) I’m trying to dress warmer…and I thought this posed the perfect opportunity to wear my newly purchased (via eBAY) and gently worn (and I like to think loved) JCREW La Parisienne sweater.  It’s such a sweet little sweater.  I fell in love with the lady peering out at me on its front.  If you peer very closely you can see her little pink and white gloved hands and sweetheart pink mouth.  Whimsical and warm!   Throw in a zany black and white striped shirt and a pair of pants to match and my Friday La Parisienne outfit was almost complete! I was on my way to dressing warmly until I started to pick out shoes and realized the ONLY shoes that would truly take this outfit to a new level were ones that could not be worn with hose or socks. All hail my cheetah print wedge heels from Banana Republic! Once I added these babies, the outfit came “roaring” to life.  (sorry..bad pun…and I don’t think cheetahs roar..but…quick Google search…(processing)..ok…).  Sorry…let me rephrase – the outfit came purring to life (it appears cheetahs do not roar but purr instead..which is much more preferable, don’t you think)! Happy Friday!  Cortneybre… 002 page_1 (1)   002 page_1 (1)

Pantone Purty!

001 greeting (1)

I’m devoted.  Really, REALLY devoted to this blog.  How do you know this?  Because today, when it’s literally freezing, I went sans tights just to stay in style and not kill the vibe of my outfit.  All. For. This. Blog.  Jus’ saying…Jus’ saying…

In suffering there is purity, uh.. or beauty or all of the above or something like that.  So, I’m suffering for my blog.  And me oh my…can you tell it in my pictures below!  (That’s a statement and not a question).  I was DYING out there.

Enough of my suffering though, as all of my tribulations were tolerated in order to bring you my long awaited purchase.  TA DA!  Enter one Pantone of the Year inspired, Radiant Orchid-esque, JCREW, mohair, bejeweled sweater!  And it was purchased on sale!

I’ve been looking for a piece that celebrated the new Pantone color and I found it in this lovely sweater.  Its comfy and soft and could keep you warm on a cold day..especially if you wore tights with your skirts.

Stay warm – wherever you are!  Cortneybre…
