Hi Everyone!
Happy Friday! This has been a crazy week for me. I’m finishing my book, and can I just tell you that I am super stressed. I’m super grateful for an amazing support system that includes my supportive, wonderful, and fabulous hubby!
Here are two quick pictures I snapped during a recent J. Crew retail store visit. I have to take pictures to remember how to style the items once I get them home. I have reviews of both of the tops pictured coming up this weekend. Sequins, stripes, and dots? Yep, sign me up!
Here are the pictures:
I’ll also post a review of the necklace featured in the second picture later this weekend.
Thanks for stopping by!
What kind of book Rynetta? What is it about?
Hi Angie's Closet! It's a scholarly, secondary source. I have to publish a book, and a series of articles, to get tenure. The book is about marriage and family in 19th Century African American literature.Thanks SO much for being here!!!!

Hi Skylette!!! I had to snag the lovely polka dotsequin top……in two colors! It's really one of my favorite J. Crew tops.About my book: it's about marriage and family in 19th Century African American literature.Thanks SO much for being here!
Yes! I am finishing an article and it's giving me a fair amount of anxiety since I am on a tight deadline with lots of other academic responsabilities. But you know what? Both of us are going to get it done! My best academic empathy goes to you, my word maven friend. I know you'll finish strong!
Hi Anthro Blogger!! I hear you, sister! You're right, we will both finish our major projects. And, I totally understand what you mean about "other academic responsibilities." Often, I feel like letters of recommendation, and other service commitments, eat up more of my time than they should. And, I know you'll finish strong, too!!! Thanks so much for the encouragement and the support.Thanks SO much for being here!!!
Rynetta, I'm so happy I was able to get a substantial price adjustment on the polka dot top (over $60), since I just bought it last week! I was considering the crewlet draped sequin tee that looks so amazing on Gigi and Rose, but will keep the polka dot one since it doesn't cost that much more with the current promo!
injanuity: YAY!!! It's always super sweet when you get a great deal like that!!! Thanks for sharing!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love these looks!
Sending you lots of luck & ease for finishing your book. How exciting, Rynetta!
