What NYC Recessionista Wears: The Cranberries

Yesterday, I had a mean case of The Cranberries … with my new pair of J. Crew Minnie Pants, that is.


Vintage earrings (similar) / J. Crew polka dot pop-over shirt / J. Crew Factory necklace / Chloe and Isabel necklace (similar styles here) / ASPCA wristband / wishbone bracelet c/o Julep (similar) / moon and star cuff (similar here and here) / bracelet c/o Ann Taylor spring 2013 (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / J. Crew minnie pants / Madewell sandals

I’ve blogged for a long time now about how much I love these pants from J. Crew, so that’s really no surprise. What can I say, it’s just an amazing fit — they’re slim, but they don’t cut off the blood supply to your feet.  They’re the perfect ankle length (think Audrey Hepburn). They also have the perfect amount of stretch.

I have them in multiple colors already (black, khaki, purple and green), and now I can add this new cranberry color to the list … or ‘pinot noir’ as they’re calling it. Swoon.

To complete the outfit, all I needed to do was throw on some statement necklaces (a two-for-one special!) and a bracelet stack … and I was out the door.
