Autumn Leaves

Vintage Barbour jacket (similar, similar) // J.Crew denim vest // Velvet striped shirt 

// J.Crew pants // Superga sneakers  //

If it's not obvious already, I borrow (and keep) a lot of my brother's clothes (mostly sweaters). This jacket is actually a hand-me-down from him. I've always wanted a broken in, rugged Barbour jacket and voila! I have been wearing it more than I care to admit, mostly on the weekend with layers. I think a Barbour jacket is a classic investment piece that everyone should have. Fun fact: when I was younger I had my brother's older hand-me-down jacket and I never wore it because it was "too boyish". Now, I don't think I'll ever take it off. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

Fall Styling // J.Crew Classics Part 1

       J.Crew Chambray // J.Crew Denim vest // Rag & Bone jeans (old)

 // Joie loafers // Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses

Happy Tuesday! I am still in shock it's already September- and I start school tomorrow. Crazy! To kick of fall fashion, my blogger bud Caroline from citrus & style and I will be styling two of our favorite J.Crew pieces. Today, we are wearing the infamous chambray shirt which is a definite must for everyone.  

There is countless ways to style the shirt. Here,I went for more of a casual look. I love to play with the different denim washes of the top, vest, and jeans for a cool look. If you will be rocking head to toe denim, it's key to have different washes. Overall, the chambray shirt can be dressed up and dressed down. Be sure to see how Caroline styled her chambray shirt! Stay tuned to next week to see what J.Crew classic we style next- it's going to be good!  

Btw-isn't the view from the lighthouse at Castle Hill in Newport amazing? Be sure to check the blog tomorrow for a recap of my last summer weekend.
