Updated 70’s

work outfit, trench coat, jcrew factory wool pantsI hope you all enjoyed your last long weekend of the summer. We spend the weekend away at the cottage and visiting old friends at the beach. It was a great get away but now back to reality.

Back to school and back to work.

This is one of the drawbacks of shopping JCREW factory – they don’t show their clothing on models so it is harder to tell how they will actually fit.

I love the 70s vibe of this outfit. I never really thought about that the J Crew factory store has all their items displayed on mannequins and not model. One of my regular blogs that I visit (gigisgoneshopping) does great reviews of both retail & factory J Crew items and i've come to depend on her reviews.

BTW, I have a weekly link up on Thursdays and hope you will join me.

Thanks Alice I will have to check it out. I should have checked out gigisgoneshopping, I have looked to her before for reviews and didn't think about that this time :(
