J.Crew's pear sweater + retro jade

Pear sweater (size small):  J.Crew, holiday 2012
Double-serge wool #2 pencil skirt in retro jade (size 6): J.Crewl fall 2012
Heels:  Vince Camuto
Necklace & earrings:  Ann Taylor, OLD
Ahhh, this outfit speaks straight to my matchy-matchy soul.  I love this pear sweater so much...it's cheerful enough to remind me of spring while being warm enough for this cold, gray weather.  I adore how the little leaf perfectly matches retro jade...brilliant!  Really, how can I be anything less than cheery with a big yellow pear on my chest?

How's your week going?  Mine has been quite nice, actually.  Thanks for visiting!

  3. Oooh, the pear is so cute! I love this outfit, all the bright colors look so happy. That blue is so right for you (I know, I say that about pink too, you look so nice in brights).

  4. Love your styling. I never would have thought to pair this with jade. I've been trying to grab this on pop back and a promo. I really like the look of this with graphic black and white too. Maybe someday I'll get lucky!

  6. I, too, have this sweater and paired it with a navy checked perfect shirt and the retro jade skirt. However, when I wore this to class (I'm a high school teacher in West Chester, OH), the first thing that a male student said to me was, "Mrs. Robertson, you have such a juicy pear (pair) on your chest!" The whole class died laughing, and so did I. Now, I'm trying to decide if I can wear this outfit again. I'm torn, because I really loved that outfit! Oh, my job!
