I love that this holiday tee is in my favorite navy blue. The navy lace reindeer are the perfect subtle festive pop that I could picture still wearing in January. I styled the t-shirt with my go-to J. Crew Black Watch Blazer, blue velvet clutch, glitter heels and AG Middi Denim. It was the perfect outfit for an afternoon performance of the Nutcracker with my son. It was our fourth annual and a tradition we both enjoy.
J. Crew Velvet Clutch also available in Black Satin

A pop of tulle is so fun! I love the sleeves on this tulle cuffed stripe t-shirt. They give it a little dressy holiday elegance. I styled the top with my J. Crew black watch pants from last year (this year’s Maddie plaid pants look even better and they have a bit of stretch), my glitter heels, blue velvet clutch, Ryan Sunglasses, and a Lulu Frost for J. Crew necklace (my first ever J. Crew necklace purchase from a few years ago!).

J. Crew Lulu Frost Necklace (older style) this necklace or this necklace would also look great.
I also love this striped top with tulle from the J. Crew for NET-A-PORTER capsule collection. It is 30% off!

The holiday party season is upon us. And, while I don’t usually go for lace — I’m more of a leopard, stripes and plaid kind of gal – I recently tried on these lace pants and they are so comfortable (maybe even more than the pajama party pants I featured last week in Pajama Party) that well, I may be a convert … to lace ! I love the feminine touch they give to my Black Watch plaid blazer and striped St. James top. Now, I’m ready, in comfortable style, for any number of holiday events.
Do you know where the name Black Watch plaid comes from? It is named for the Black Watch, a regiment formed in 1725 to guard the Scottish Highlands (in kilts). Now you’ll be ready with an outfit – and some interesting trivia to discuss about it.

J. Crew shoes (older style, but these satin slingbacks in black and navy or these dark navy velvet shoes would look great and they are on sale!)

There are some amazing pieces in the latest J. Crew roll-out. This velvet blazer in pink is no exception. It comes in a beautiful pewter as well. Just when I think I have all the plaid shoes I need, I must have (at least) one more. I featured the Sadie Ankle-Straps in Tartan in It’s time for Plaid! a couple of weeks ago. They sold out right away, as predicted, but have been restocked! I have worn them non-stop since they arrived last week and I have lost count of the compliments I’ve received. They are so comfortable and I love the mix with the Black Watch club collar shirt and the pink blazer. Don’t delay, they are likely to sell out.
