You may have noticed that I’m kinda obsessed with J. Crew. Their clothes are on-trend without being too fashion-forward; affordable {and everything eventually goes on sale if you wait long enough}; and, best of all, versatile. I have many friends who own the same pieces but rock them in totally different ways. And — their seasonal color palettes are to die. I’m loving the “neon persimmon” hue of their genius colored skinnies ($108, J. Crew — although I’d probably opt for this comparable J. Brand style in coral), which I’d wear with a chambray button-down ($26, Old Navy — though my ideal style would be this $225 Vince variation) and a big coral necklace ($140, Loren Hope):
I’d finish with pewter bow-toe flats (~$235, Pretty Ballerinas) and this dove gray slouchy bag ($395, Botkier):
This lovely patterned scarf is the perfect accent piece (We Are Owls, $260, Les Nouvelles):
For a dressier occasion, how about a persimmon maxi skirt (obsessed with this new length — Halston Heritage, $425, Zappos) with a gray blouse (Marc Jacobs, $227, TheOutnet) and some gray drop earrings ($43, David Aubrey):
I’d finish with a clean white clutch ($257, Farfetch) and some unfussy gladiators (man oh man am I dreaming of warmer weather at the moment…Zanotti, $595, Forward Forward):
Alternately, check out this stunning formal-wear dress (Sara Berman, $290, TheOutnet) with some glitzy studs ($95, Max & Chloe):
Finish with glitzy pumps (Miu Miu, $730, Net-A-Porter) and a roll clutch (on super sale for $29, Nine West):
Hot. Or, how about this simple persimmon shift (Tibi, $396, Bergdorf’s) with a colorful statement necklace ($66, David Aubrey):
I’d wear it with some python tootsies, and this Kate Spade style is my jam ($325, Endless) — as well as a roomy clutch in persimmon ($46, American Apparel):
Also loving this simple white shirt-dress ( on sale for $137, Conifer) with a longer-length necklace (on sale for $21, WeLikeFashion):
Wear with anything in the “neon coral” color from the current Proenza Schouler collection. This pouchlette is lovely ($345, Proenza Schouler):
And a pair of bow-toe gray flats ($50, Modcloth):
Finally, why not juge up your workout gear with a cute new hoodie ($80, Nike), some gray leggings (“anthracite,” to be exact — $54, Nike)
And some new kicks ($85, Finish Line). Yah, yah, yah, I know I’m a Nike snob — it’s the only workout gear that lasts…and lasts…and lasts. The rest ends up tattered and raggedy looking. And the colors are to die.
Cute with this Anya tote, eh ($295, Net-A-Porter)? Love her cheeky little canvas totes. I wear mine on the reg.
