thrifty thursday!

hello, lovelies! a couple of days ago lona and i had a ladydate to go hunting for possible bridesmaid dresses for seth & isis' wedding in august. no bridesmaid dresses were purchased but we ended up at the j. crew factory store and i found some really great deals... and then as we were leaving i got an email on my phone from the banana republic factory store and so obviously we had to stop in there, too!

dreamy outfit - his and hers date night via jcrew.com

hello, hello, hello. did you love the picnic post? i really hope so! i love love love date night because it's a pretty nice excuse to get all gussied up! (let's be honest, though, those of you who know us know that neither the dream nor i need much of an excuse to get dressed up). in the spirit of that post, i decided to create a couple's dreamy outfit post, and i did all of my "shopping" in the sale section of jcrew.com!

for her

1 vivette dress, $69.99

2 cashmere shawl cardigan, $129.99

3 indio pursette, $129.99

4 crystal trio ring, $24.99

5 quorra high heel oxfords, $119.99

6 crystal wildfire necklace, $59.99

7 crystal petal ring, $39.99

for him

1 baird mcnutt linen camp shirt, $49.99

2 herringbone linen vest, $99.99

3 levi's 511 jean in rinsed indigo, $79.99

4 sperry topsiders, $120

5 herringbone linen sportcoat, $279.99

6 rugged boot laces, 2 for $6

the things i love about this for her look are as follows: mustard paired with navy is one of my favorite color combinations at the moment. i can't even handle a sweet, feminine dress paired with oxfords or booties - it's an impossibly perfect coupling. i love the raw edged silk on the bodice of the dress paired with big costume jewels and the geometric bib necklace plays perfectly against the gentle shawl collar of the cardigan.

the things i love about this for him look are as follows: brown and blue paired together, the casual feel of a gingham linen shirt and jeans balancing the formality of both a vest and suit jacket. topsiders are such a wonderful summer shoe and i love the idea of lacing them with colored laces. also, can i just say - these are the jeans that my dreamboat actually wears and dang do they make his cakes look fantastic!
