J.Crew Minnie Pant in Vibrant Flame - Plus OOTD

As soon as I saw these bad boys in the catalog, I immediately logged on to my favorite website and scooped them up!  I had tried them on in the store, but they didn't have this orange color - but at least I knew the size to purchase online.

Minnie Pant in Stretch Twill - $79.50

This is the vibrant flame color.... love!  I am wearing a Petite 2 here.  The regular 2 was a little to big, plus they were too long for my liking. 

Although you can't see in the picture, these come about 2 inches above my ankle... the regular ones came to my ankle bone, which is great in super-skinny pants and denim, but I didn't love it in these. (my older ones are regulars and I wish I had gotten a petite! )

Pants- J.Crew

Cardi- J.Crew

Bracelet - Lia Sophia

Watch - Fossil

Cami - Victoria's Secret

Here they are with an older floral cardigan from J.Crew - I love how the orange in the pants pulls the color from the cardigan!  I wore this to our preschool teacher conference.

Sometimes it's hard for me to decide what to keep when a new roll-out is amazing and I want too much!  However, with these it was a no-brainer!  I've already worn them twice!

Bottom Line: If for nothing else, buy them for the color!  These pretty much only work with heels or flats (ie: can't tuck into boots!) so rock these during the fall as much as possible!  If anything, these run a bit large because I was able to stick with my regular size in the petite instead of sizing up!

Crewcuts: Giant Gingham Shirt Review

**First Up:  Enter Dr. Drama's "Moody Mama" $25 giftcard giveaway!  The entry question is cute and definitely hits close to home for me right now!!**

If there's one thing worse than a "final sale" online, it's a "final sale" on clothing for kids, because there is just no way to know about the fit! 

However, during the last % off promo at J.Crew.com, I did pick up a few things for DS.

My faves?

Short-sleeve giant two-toned gingham shirt - on sale for $19.99

Sconset-plaid shirt - on sale for $34.99

I didn't end up getting this one for DS for 2 reasons:  I have it in the women's version, and the price is still too much for a 2-year-old IMO.  We'll wait for more sale!

Long-sleeve Amagansett slub tee - on sale for $14.99

This feels amazing!  I wish I had one!

Anchor slub tee - on sale for $19.99

This is so cute and has a little design on the back of skeletons, too! Can't believe this is still available in so many sizes, this shirt is perfect for summer time at the beach, river, lake, etc...!

Stripe Hoodie - on sale for $34.99

I really wanted to get him this, but it WAS  sold out in his size during the promo... it's back in stock now.  I saw it when it first came out at FP - guess I should have bought it then.... but that would be crazy at$50 - right!?  I'm gonna go ahead and order it now since it's free shipping on Crewcuts.

There were a few other tees I picked up for under $15.  I usually size up on the tees and size down or go TTS on button-down shirts and bottoms.  I think you can get away with the tees being a bit big and hopefully getting a few seasons out of them.... plus I do think they run a bit slim. 

My absolute favorite CC piece we've purchased this year has got to be the first shirt.  LOVING gingham for both myself and DS for the fall.  I just HAD to take a picture of him looking so cute in his outfit!!  We were supposed to wait for school to start for these items, but seriously, I have no self control!
