J.Jill New Arrivals Try On Haul For February

I have a bunch of these sweater jackets, and this is the one I’ve liked the best so far. It is a great weight, and the sweater feels high-end. This is a trend, but it is a classic design that will never go out of style. I’ll wear this sweater for years, and it can be dressed up or down easily.

I added a Brahmin Tabitha Shoulder Bag to this outfit. Brahmin is a brand I love in handbags because of the quality. The crocodile embossed design is easily recognizable, and I love the neutral color.

The Authentic Fit Slim-Leg Jeans might be my favorite pair of jeans from J.Jill. They have a great silhouette, and I love the length. They look great with flats or heels and can be worn with a sweatshirt or sequins.

I love the look of this outfit, but some of the pieces were too big for me. But, the overall concept was great, and is one that looks polished and put together.

The Patch Pocket Knit Cardigan is a knit version instead of a sweater. It will be easier to wear this knit cardigan in the summer since it isn’t as heavy. I added the Wearever Easy A-Line Tank in navy under the cardigan because I thought it would look great peeking out from under it. I love the look, but I ordered a large in the tank, which was a huge mistake. I’ve reordered a medium, and I hope that ends up fitting me better.

The High-Rise Patch-Pocket Wide-Leg Jeans in light barley were perfect with the knit cardigan. But they were too big for me too. Patch pockets are big this year, but this is one of the trends I’m not 100% behind. I like them fine if the pockets are smaller, but these are too big for me.

I love this casual yet elevated look. This look is so easy to recreate since it is only a top and a pair of jeans.

I am not normally a fan of “two-fer” items. I’m talking about an item that has the look of a shirt and a sweater or top, but they are actually all-in-one. Others I’ve seen

See…it is a two-fer! Lol!

Because the other jeans were too big for me, I switched them out for a pair of SPANX Flare Jeans. I love the way these jeans fit! They are snug in all the right places and hold you in so that your tummy isn’t as noticeable. The only fault I have with these jeans is that they are long. I’m 5’6″ tall and normally wear a 32″ easily. With these jeans, you will need a platform or high heel shoe to keep them from dragging the floor unless you have them hemmed.

As I’ve mentioned many times before, since I no longer leave the house to work, I dress more casually than ever. If you are like me, you have to fight the urge to wear sweats and leggings all the time. I still like grabbing a pair of leggings and a tee with a cardigan, but I don’t want to get in the habit of wearing that all the time. It doesn’t take any more time to put on a pair of jeans and a nice shirt or sweater, and you look a 100 times nicer.

This Mongolian Cashmere Polo Sweater is actually from Quince, not J.Jill. I love a collared polo shirt or sweater, so I added this black one. I’m wearing a large in it, but I sent it back and reordered a medium. I hope the medium works since I really love the look. J.Jill didn’t have a black polo sweater, but they do have a lot of other black ones.

Boyfriend jeans are slightly more relaxed than girlfriend jeans. That doesn’t mean they are sloppy looking; they just have more room in the hip and thigh area. I usually size down if I see a pair of jeans is a boyfriend style, but I decided to stick with my normal size 8, and they fit fine. Gray jeans are trending this year, and I’ve noticed that inventory is low in them in most of the stores I shop.

I kept this outfit monochromatic by adding the Ella Patent Nylon Tote. I have carried this tote almost non-stop since I bought it. It is a great size and even has a spot that my laptop fits inside. The only part of my outfit that isn’t in the gray/black color family is my Vionic Slip-on Fashion Sneaker- Leather Shoes. I ordered my usual size 9, but I found these to be a little big on me. They were slightly too long, so I would suggest sizing down if you are between sizes.
