Happy Wednesday! I am so happy it’s hump day because it’s already been one hell of a week and I am already mentally & physically exhausted.
I did most of my shopping the day before Thanksgiving since sales had already hit the stores. Although there were a million and one sales (and every single one of them tempted me) I just had to go to J.Crew. This season I’ve definitely been leaning more towards Banana Republic than J.Crew. I barely purchased anything from their fall collection and just about purchased everything from Banana’s fall collection. But, with J.Crew’s new arrivals, I fell back in love.
So on Wednesday night I made my way to the SoHo store and went a little crazy…and of course justified everything. I picked up two pairs of jeans (girls got to wear pants!). A bunch of button downs (I can wear them to work and layer them under everything!). A gorgeous skirt (Perfect for the Holidays!). And a new vest (I collect them…).
Ok, I’m totally being dramatic, but I consider it a talent being able to justify every purchase as if I really needed another vest. I have to say though out of all of my excursion vests, the buffalo check is proving to be my favorite. I love the red & navy color and I love that it’s a printed vest. Definitely not going to be the last time you see this on the blog.

Thank you so much for reading L.A Style, N.Y Smile!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who justifies my clothes and accessories hoarding! I know I didn't NEED to buy five dresses last week, but they were FOUR DOLLARS each! Lol!
Loving this outfit, you have a fantastic handbag collection!
I have been stalking this vest online for weeks and I LOVE it on you! Great bag and booties too. Perfect layered look.

That vest is amazing! Well I am with Stacie, I know I didn't need to buy all the stuff, but I am a collector, see (that's sounds so much better than hoarder, lol) You look great and I love the layering here.

It's easy to justify purchases when they're as great as those! Love the vest and the sparkly top!
