Fall shopping

Two things on my autumn wish list: This Uniqlo cashmere sweater (those sleeves are sooo chic; perfect for a chilly Saturday afternoon) and Gap skinny cords (which are insanely insanely flattering, by the way; take it from this new mom!).

(Thanks for the sweater find, Alyson)

  2. i have like 4 pairs of the always skinny jeans and i love them... i can't believe i hadn't even seen the cords yet!

    ReplyDelete
  3. i used to have a pair of bright red skinny cords from Gap about 10 years ago and im kicking myself for not hanging onto them, things always come back round eventually!!

    ReplyDelete
  4. But seeing as you're already on the slim side, I would say any skinny jeans would be flattering on you... new mom or not.

    I do love that sweater. I'm always in love with shlumpy sweaters.

  5. Sigh. What a perfect sweater. I love that style soooo much.

  6. i know, barb, i'd only seen them as regular jeans! i love the cords.

  7. jovana, i promise, these are the most flattering jeans/cords EVER. a bunch of my friends feel the same way, and i wore them a week after toby was born (when i was still looking pretty pregnant and couldn't fit into my regular jeans) and they made me feel so good and even sexy :) i would really recommend them. xoxo

    ReplyDelete
  23. Love the sweater! I must try on these cords too. Am going to post about J. Crews white skinny cords soon as I think white cords will either 1. be amazing or 2. make me look like a beached whale!

  24. Those skinny cords are GREAT! Do you get your regular GAP size? Or do they run small or big?

    ReplyDelete
  25. That sweater is gorgeous, I love how wide the neck is (I hate when sweaters are too tight around the neck, it feels like i'm suffocating!).

    ReplyDelete
  26. ooh yes, I am loving that sweater and all sweaters of that shape right now.
    skinny cords? hmm might have to give them a try..

  27. That sweater looks so comfy. You can't go wrong with cashmere. Those shoes has just the right amount of edge...I heart them.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Just found my Fall uniform... and, so good to hear about these skinny cords. I have some Gap skinny cords from a couple of seasons ago but they stretch out so bad when I wear them they end up losing the skinny effect. I loved the concept, so I'll definitely check these out.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Love both picks. But I can't buy new grey cords/jeans until I fit into the brand new pair in my drawer I kept saying to myself, 'I will lose weight'. Bah. Gah. Etc. x

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oooo the sweater is gorgeous! I swear as soon as a new season arrives my instant reaction is 'SHOPPING TIME!' What a bad habit! My mum would not be proud...
    Much love, Hannie xxxxxxx

  56. I love Uniqlo!!! Used to shop there frequently when I lived in Japan. But I'm surprised at how expensive that sweater is considering Uniqlo was considered the Japanese version of Old Navy. But no matter... they have tons of affordable chic styles on their website :)

  64. Skinny cords... for some reason I didn't think such a thing existed, but now I'm intrigued. I think I'll be stopping by Gap soon to check them out! And that sweater looks so comfy! Too bad my shopping list for fall clothes is painfully short this year. :-P

  81. Got my first pair of skinny jeans last week in NYC from the Gap in Chelsea. I never thought I would get my size 8 self in a pair. These fit so nice and comfy. I have worn them three times already!!! Best spent $69. I got the dark denim ones and they really do slim you up if you have larger or athletic legs.

  100. coming back to this post for a reason. I've been dreaming of this sweater for 2 years now ... and a few days ago my husband decided to clean up his closet and found his old cashmere turtleneck exactly the same colour, way too big for me but I had it altered/bootlegged: now it has shorter puffy sleaves and a boat neck and it looks sooooo similar to the oryginal, for the cost of just about 7 dollars. I'm in heaven!!!! Thanks Jo for the inspiration, it was worth waiting 2 years;)
