Fab Finds! - J.Jill Edition

I have a tendency to write J.Jill off as a catalog/store with offerings for a woman about 10 years older than me and/or a more artsy person.  You know that super cool lady that throws on some handmade jewelry as she runs off to pottery class.  Someone I'm clearly not.  But after doing some digging, it seems that looking at the items as separates make more sense.  They tend to pair the tops with more flowy bottoms that I'm not digging at least for my age group.  When looking at the offerings I gravitated towards the tunic tops (I love a tunic), these are great when paired with skinny jeans/pants.  Check out my favorite items - all on sale - score!

Left to Right (all on sale!) - Silk Charmeuse Pullover - $20

Live-In Crewneck Pullover - $20

Open-Weave Print Shirt - $40

Wearever Wrap Belt - $10 - love, love this belt!

I want this! - Cardigans and Tunics

I'm such a sucker for a cardigan, they are yet another staple of my wardrobe.  Here are some that I'm totally wishing were in my closet right now! 

Coats by Apt. 9
Cardigans by Ann Taylor

And as a follow up to last week's (very popular) post about Roberta Roller Tunics, I decided to hunt down some more adorable tunics.  Looks like I'm not the only person who loves a good tunic!

Longsleeve Tops by Forever 21

On a side note, you may have noticed that I have not tackled a "Uniform Dressing" for this month.  I decided to take a month off from it because I totally blanked on what uniform I should do.  ha!  If anyone has any suggestions for a uniform for January, bring it on!  jrspry1@gmail.com

I'm now off to do a bit more Christmas shopping!

Tunics from Roberta Roller Rabbit

I'm a nut for a tunic, they are staples of my wardrobe and I'm always on the look out for more.  I especially love ones with gorgeous colors, prints and that are fairly lightweight (I love throwing a tank on underneath for some extra coverage and/or color).  So when I saw these fab kurtas from Roberta Roller Rabbit by Roberta Freymann I fell in love.  Now they aren't super cheap, but at $70 they are affordable and are machine washable (a big bonus in my book)!  Here are my favorite ones:

 Fantasia Orange

Elsa Purple

Amanda Orange

Fish Orange

Gwen Black

Tunics are great because you can dress them up or dress them down.  They can literally go from the beach to dinner.  And my favorite reason to throw on a tunic is that they are oh so forgiving to those of us who have less-than-perfect midsections (yes, that would be me, though I sometimes get a glimpse of my former 6-pack when the moon is full and the light is just right *sigh*).  Here are a few ways to style them up:
