About a month ago, when J.Crew's November catalog came, I sat around with some of my friends/J.Crew fans at school in the morning before the day started flipping through the pages. When I came across one of the pages, one of the girls said, "You have that skirt! You could totally recreate that look." So, I was inspired to give it a shot.
Here's the catalog page with the aforementioned outfit (a big thanks to Suzy at Bichonluvr's Closet for scanning this catalog for us!):
I know I have some new readers, so I want to welcome them to the blog! :)
Have a wonderful day!

I loved how effortlessly chic this look was, and it was really pretty effortless to recreate and personalize. Here's what I came up with:
Turtleneck: J.Crew merino turtleneck sweater in black, sz. small
Skirt: J.Crew liquid silk skirt in bright dahlia, sz. 2 (reviewed here, remixed here)
Socks: Black trouser socks...honestly, I think I stole them from my mom (sorry mama!)
Shoes: Nine West Riane, sz. 7.5
Heart and filigree necklaces: Vintage
Here's a detail box I put together (Don't mind the awful look on my face or the crooked necklaces, it was preeetty darn early in the morning.):
Overall, I was pretty happy with the outcome, but the socks + oxfords made me nervous. A couple of the sophomores made fun of the combo and said I looked "just like an English teacher" (duh), but I haven't ever taken fashion advice from 16 year-old boys, and I don't plan on starting anytime soon ;)
I'll post the Polyvore for the outfit below, but before we get to that...
