I mean, you expected this, right? Gwyneth Paltrow (my lady crush) + JCrew (my go-to) combined into one? Obviously we were going to talk about this. First of all, can you think of a better collaboration than these two? My bestie epitomizes preppy chic with a twist, and of course she styled it with a little California laid-back elegance. I kinda hate that almost every item of clothing is JCrew Collection, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Ms. Paltrow. Plus, JCrew has such a similar aesthetic across the board that you could mix in some other pieces and get the same look.
In other JCrew news, SS13 continued to the bold patterns and bright colors with a mix of florals and pastels thrown in. Here's the thing about fashion, I have stripes, a jean jacket, some loud clothes, but I would never think about putting them all together at once. Oh JCrew stylists, teach me your ways.

Yes, I expected this! She looks awesome and those scenarios make me want to buy the looks right now. I've got to get one of those schoolboy blazers at the very least. I, too, was bummed so much was collection as I scrolled down. You're right though - she can afford it so why not?
ReplyDeleteNow for some humor: I just Googled "SS13" to figure out what that even meant. Once I saw the light I felt like an idiot. But I'd still look at someone like they were a weirdo if they came down the street here wearing a getup like that. It looks to me more like a girl in silk pajama bottoms and a rumpled striped shirt she grabbed, then tried to cover it up with her trusty denim jacket because as she walked out the door in a hurry, she realized it was a questionable combo.
Now that you point it out, I do see how it might look a tiny bit odd to see someone walking down the street wearing that outfit. I'm pretty sure that I would only wear patterned pants if I were a stick figure, but I do like how JCrew attempts to nudge me out of my comfort zone. Even if all that means is rummaging through my closet in my parents' house to dig out my old jean jacket.
DeleteWow I want everything in those pictures lol, especially that last jacket.
