My goal of shopping to a very specific list paid off, and I was able to find both the J.Crew gallerista skirt and the flair skirt in dark navy for a song--my personal shopper actually told me that I got the last gallerista skirt in the country. My timing has been right on with these buys, so I decided to make complete outfits for these pieces.
For the gallerista, I could always wear a white blouse or one of my black cashmere sweaters--and I'm sure I will. However, I also wanted to have a colored top option so I chose the cashmere long-sleeve tee in heather indigo. It matches the blue in the skirt perfectly and is a shade that can work into spring. I would love to get the short-sleeve version of this color, but I will have to watch for another sale.
I also bought the navy version to wear with the dark navy flair skirt. There is something so classic about a white blouse layered under a navy sweater with a white skirt, and this look also provides the perfect background for a necklace. Perhaps I'll try the gray bubble necklace--it would also be wonderful with the Majorica pearl double-strand that I have been eyeing.

This is the first year I bought the cashmere LS tees from J.Crew. I picked up fiesta purple and heather beet. I'm still debating over the beet, it's not as pink as I thought it would be IRL. The purple is great though and it has held up well so far, no pilling.
ReplyDeleteLooking at these blues I am tempted to pick up another in one of these colors. The style is really classic, I'm sure they will look great with your gallerista and flair skirts.
