What I Loved Wearing This Week: Mar. 21, 2025.

The Jacket Makes the Look.

One of those days where I felt uninspired, so I just took out all my favorite things to wear, paired them together, and finished with a great jacket. This quilted coat seems to go with and over everything — loose fit accommodates puffy/bulky sleeves, dressy enough to pair with a dress or fancier look but elevates jeans and a tee, warm enough for this in-between weather. And of course the dramatic collar makes it.

An Easy, Bold Caftan.

I absolutely love the fit and detail on this Julia Amory caftan. The colorway is old but there are new options available now (use code JEN-15); LOVE this brand-new (just launched this week) patterned lilac option. Can be worn belted or unbelted — so comfortable and so chic. I was stopped so many times while wearing this on St. Patrick’s Day!

Another Great Pair of Jeans for Petites.

I’ve been sharing lots of great petite-friendly styles lately; these Mother Ankle-length half-pipes are another fab buy. I’m 5’0 and they required no tailoring. They are a bit more rigid than the Rutis (Rutis are like level 10 comfort – so, so stretchy; let’s call them “airplane jeans”) but I was still able to do an entire day of work in them at my desk, and I feel like they sort of hold you in / suck you in. The sneakers made this whole vibe work; they are from Larroude but very Miu Miu.

You may also notice that in most of the photos in this post, I’m wearing a new long-length charm necklace (26″) from Hart. I had so much fun picking out the charms and kind of want to add a few extras. The exact charms I have are here. It has been such a conversation-starter this week! I’ve been asked about it at least three times!

Chic Two-Piece Set for Dinner with My Parents.

We ate at Opal in Chevy Chase and it was a gorgeous, warm spring night. I wore this two-piece set (top, skirt) from Julia Amory, which felt polished but playful. I feel like this would be a brilliant thing to pack for a vacation, because you could pair the top with white shorts or jeans, and the skirt with a simple white tank or a white button-down for a completely different look — three different vibes with one set. You can’t really see the necklace, but it’s SUCH a great statement, from Lizzie Fortunato. When I sat down, my mom said, “Gosh, I wish you would have paired your necklace to your outfit a little better.” (Ha!). They looked MADE for each other. I layered it over this fun heart pendant from Mignonne Gavigan. Maximalism in full force!

Classic White Oxford Dress.

My inner prep couldn’t resist this fab white oxford shirtdress. I was really pleased with the fit. Some of the Untuckit styles are a bit boxy on me, but this one was really beautifully tailored — felt/fit more like a Veronica Beard to me. I think my code JEN20 should still work, making this a GREAT, versatile everyday dress. I swapped out the fabric belt it came with for this Aureum because I was going to a meeting and wanted to feel a bit more polished, but you could definitely style more casually or even without any belt. I ended up wearing a bright Hermes scarf with this but was in a rush so didn’t grab a picture of it!

What to Wear While Sorting My Children’s Rooms.

I went for comfort — my beloved Alice-Walk sweater (like a hug!) — and it was chilly out while we cleaned out my children’s bedrooms.

Two Fun Statement Tops for Spring.

Wore these on two separate days, but managed to totally forget to capture the outfits in any greater detail! Both of these are really fun but easy to wear with white jeans, and both of them are reasonably priced. The gingham is $54. Runs small – I took a 0 but wish I’d taken a 2.

What to Wear for Car Travel + Spa Day.

My mom and I both showed up for our little one-night getaway wearing Frank and Eileen! Polished, comfortable, elevated athleisure. This is my set, but this $49 look for less from Amazon has gotten the Magpie reader stamp of approval. Many of you have written to rave about it. I was also wearing my new oversized Cuyana tote, which turns out to be a fantastic travel day bag. It fits a TON.

Perfect Shirtdress.

I’ve shared this a lot this week, but it really was a 10/10. Will be wearing a lot. I love the fluidity of the skirt — it just glides and moves!

Soon to Arrive Julia Amory Dress.

It was a Julia Amory week, I guess! And I feel bad sharing this one today because it doesn’t launch until tomorrow and I feel like it’s going to sell out quickly. This is her Betty dress silhouette — my second or third pattern in this style. Comes in a great, heavy-weight cotton (like, surprisingly heavy) and I love the dramatic length.
