Recent Purchases: October 2019

October 31, 2019 by jessica Leave a Comment

PURCHASED – FOR ME
See all of this year’s sartorial additions here.

  • Target snake print, v-neck mini dress – I’m all about a long-sleeve mini dress and this one won me over with its low price point. It’s good quality and there’s a pretty pleated detail at the wrist. I went with my normal size. It’s obviously loose and swingy, but I don’t think a size smaller would have fit my shoulders correctly.
  • J.Crew ‘Gwen’ slingback flats in bright berry – This is one of my favorite sartorial purchases in a long time! I prefer flats to heels and had been yearning for a party-perfect pair for the holidays. The color is gorgeous! They run true to size.
  • J.Crew ‘Daphne’ tweed topcoat in guava – Continuing my adoration of pink lately, I ordered this lightweight coat to wear this fall. It looks vintage in the very best way and pairs well with tans and burnt oranges. It has already snowed in Madison (twice!) so I’m not sure how much use I’ll be able to get out of it the rest of the season, but the color will carry well into spring. It runs a bit large.

PURCHASED – FOR HOME

  • Schoolhouse Electric brass coaster set – You already know that I’m a huge fan of Schoolhouse Electric products, and these are my latest acquisition from the company. They’re beautifully made and will get better with time as they develop a patina. I’m going to purchase a second set at some point so we have enough when guests come over.
  • Bloomingville clear glass vase – This is a great size and the small opening on top is perfect for displaying a branch.

DIDN’T WORK OUT
Things I tried and didn’t love.

  • J.Crew lodge coat in heather acorn – I couldn’t quite get the sizing to work for me on this given that my bottom half is larger than my top. And when I did, the coat just felt too boxy. It was well made, though, and I love the ribbed trim at the sleeves to keep the cold air out. The color is beautiful.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
