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. Friends - I need your styling help! I purchased the Liberty Thorpe dress and want to wear it IMMEDIATELY - do you think it could be styled to wear for work? I work at a business casual environment, I'm all ears to your suggestions :) Thanks!

    1. Hi Jennifer, I saw someone wearing it on Instagram with a coral/pink cardigan and it looked really nice!

    2. It's a beautiful dress. For me, I find it to be too low-cut. Otherwise, with a nice cardigan, I would say it could work.

  2. Hi, everyone.

    I have the Drake giraffe top and skirt, and have worn them together. If I split them up, I am wondering what I can wear with the individual pieces. What sorts of colors besides navy can you suggest? I've scoured the internet, but, to my surprise, cannot find many pictures. This surprises me because the pieces were so popular. Shoes suggestions would also be welcome. I've worn the "set" with the Lotte Suede Sandals in Roasted Cider. (By the way - love these sandals - super comfy.) Any suggestions for colors beyond navy and this sort of brown? Thank you.

    1. Yes! Marigold/yellow, olive green, khaki, white, cream/ivory. I love those pieces and missed out on them, so I'll enjoy them vicariously through you!

    2. I wore my giraffe skirt with a hot pink tshirt and the polka dotted sloans and thought it was cute! I also plan to do orange stripes but have done navy stripes and navy polka dots.

    3. I have the skirt and wear it with a Chambray button down shirt! Also a navy striped shirt t-shirt works if you are into mixing prints 😊

  3. I need your help! I ordered the Collection polka-dot tulle vest in ivory (item G5844). I have the one in black and I like it because it's a nice feminine touch and a bit Spanish looking. They have it styled with a white button down. For some reason, I like it less with the button down than the black one. Any suggestions besides what they have pictured? I may just not keep it, it hasn't arrived yet, but I would love your ideas too.
    Thanks!
