JCA "Help Style Me!" Weekly Post

This is the weekly "Help Style Me!" post, where we can share items we are having trouble putting outfits together with. Elaine (in this post) says it best, "You know, that thing you bought because you love it and you keep pulling it out and then putting it away without wearing it?"

Please share your J.Crew item (either that you own or are thinking about getting) that you would love help creating an outfit with.

Also, please help out by offering your styling advice. Feel free to include links to your blog (where you incorporated that piece) or to Polyvore (where you showcased an outfit with that piece). Thanks in advance! :)

    1. These sets of pairings have been amazing! I actually bought the peony tee at the store last week, and the pink jacket is on it's way!! But now I find myself wanting all the items in your first grouping (the aqua colors!!) Thanks so much for making these!! Hope you are feeling well!

  2. Why can't I figure out how to wear my metallic silver Cece flats??? I have silver Jack Rogers that I would wear every day in the summer if I could, but these flats haven't even been worn once!! Any recommendations?

    1. Erin, I wear my gold Cece flats with anything. Yesterday I had a floral buttondown, bright blue jeans and the gold shoes. Think of them as a neutral. Don't create the outfit around it. Provided you don't have on gold jewelry, the silver shoes should look fine w/just about anything.

    2. ^^^Ditto to what Gigi said. I also have the gold Cece flats and wear them with everything from jeans to skirts to business suits.

    3. I agree with Gigi and Whitney. I have silver metallic flats from a different brand and also wear them a lot. They look great with jeans but also with work outfits. I think they work especially well when I do a color block/clash outfit - say a pink sweater and burgundy skirt or a tonal outfit like a mint sweater and evergreen skirt - I try to add a metallic belt and pair of earrings to complete the look.

    1. Thanks Gigi! I have the French hen blouse and the dark poppy skirt and somehow never thought of putting them together. They're now hanging in my work rotation for next week!
