So so funny that you just posted this. I just pulled out a pair of cords that I had set aside in case I ever gain 15 lbs again. (I wore them in the post partum months and they are totally cute.) I was thinking I could pass them off as boyfriend-style jeans, but can’t figure out what to put with them so that it doesn’t just look like I’m wearing baggy pants. I was going to ask you for a list of suggestions. I see you’ve gone with a femmy shirt and cardigan. I will try it and get back to you
I have that same tank in cream and I lurve it forever. It’s so soft and comfy. Have you noticed Jcrew’s sizes getting slightly larger? I have been a medium in Jcrew since 1991 and now their M’s are baggy and drapey on me. I know for a fact that I have NOT shrunk.
So I went to gap today and tried them on, and so not friendly to my shape. Maybe in a size up (which I would have to buy online, so not so much) but I like the concept. Going to try on hubby’s jeans tonight.
Just bought my jeans today, thanks for the inspiration! They also look cute with my new sweater vest I got from the LOFT. It was a very productive shopping day.

better than the jeans is that sweater/tank combo. Jcrew rules.

I wore that exact outfit yesterday, different colorway. I have the white shirt and a green cardigan. Love it!

Hi Susan, love the outfit and would love to know which Keds sneakers you have. Are they really as comfortable as they look?
