j crew factory printed cutaway blouse  ·  merona linen skirt {thrifted}

old navy perfect cardigan  ·  mossimo ona flats

i was able to take advantage of a gilt offer for 30% off at j crew factory recently which is a nice discount to have there even though it seems like they've been offering it more and more lately.  i had a couple things in my cart i kept going back to, and the during one browsing i saw this blouse!  i couldn't believe it!  sure, this print is everywhere but it was one i was always drawn to and i was so excited to add it to my wardrobe.  it was only offered in petite at the time but i've found one size up in petite is consistent with what my regular size would be. however, when i added the link at the bottom of this post, it was available in regular sizes xs & s, so it may still be available in random sizes if you are interested.   

all in all, i'm really happy with then purchases i made from j crew factory with that gilt offer.  i also ordered the lace panel tee in black & i found this blouse in coral - another moment of disbelief!  i guess it pays to browse and browse because you never know when items will be added to the sale section.  i've really become more lenient with the amount of money i spend on certain clothing items.  i'd rather spend $25 for a blouse that i know will have a place in my closet for a long time like these ones vs spending $3-5 on multiple tops at the goodwill that i just end up thrifting back in six months or a year.

get the look: exact blouse {same print in pants & skirt} / similar skirt / similar cardigan / similar flats - same brand / similar stripes
