Trying to Justify One Last J.Crew Purchase this Weekend

Truly, I've spent enough money on the Crew this weekend. But the prices have me by the purse strings (They do. They really do). On the chopping block at the moment are:

The White Cropped Matchstick Jean, $19.99 on Final Sale... aaand

The Cashmere Short-Sleeve Tee in Sandalwood, $98 Full Price

I am telling myself that the jeans are a deal. $20! But I can't put it in my cart all by its lonesome, which brings me to the Sandalwood Cashmere tee. I love the classic Jackie-O-ness of this color, especially when considering the tee worn with the white jeans. & I know many a lady > size 2 who fears the white jean because of its ability to, shall we say, emphasize areas of our body we don't want emphasized. But I say, if you like the white jean, wear it. & as I think about how much money I've spent this weekend for J.Crew, I'm also trying to rationalize the fact that 1) I am getting some great deals and 2) My Carlyle dress was paid for by Gift Cards and so will my Jeans. Not too shabby.

In further justification, I polyvored a couple of looks that I could put together with the jeans and the cashmere tee, proving their versatility. Voila:


Get to Work

Last reason why I justify the purchase? Because I love them. Can't think of a better reason than that!
