Hi Everyone!
I received the J. Crew Tessa Top in Chili and Brilliant Purple, as well as the Tillary Tote in Canvas Stripe yesterday. I LOVE these items! Here are a few IRL pictures:

The bottom of the top is twisted in this picture, oops! I really like both of these tops. I’m super grateful to the lovely Dani BP for posting about this top HERE. Somehow, I missed this lovely top when it first appeared on the J. Crew website. See the Tessa top on the lovely shopwithm HERE.
I saw the Tillary Tote in Canvas Stripe IRL when I was in San Francisco a few weeks ago. I liked the tote a lot, but I left it in the store. I couldn’t stop thinking about how versatile this tote is, so thankfully my fabulous personal shopper was able to find it in a retail store. I see why this tote has received so much love in the blog world:
Finally, two new pencil skirts appeared on the J. Crew website this morning. I squealed when I saw the No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Caribbean Tweed. I ordered this one immediately:
I LOVE navy and green together! I can’t wait to get my hands on this beauty!
And, the other new skirt is the No. 2 Pencil Skirt in Safari Cat:
I really like this print, but I think that it may be too brown for my skin tone.
What do you think of the J. Crew Tessa Top, the Tillary Tote in Canvas Stripe, and the new arrivals? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
I LOVE Navy & Green together too! Thanks for posting.

Love the green tweed pencil skirt, can't wait to see it on you. I have the same tote and love it. The colors are so nice and matches very well with my navy stripe outfits.
Small Town Gal: Thanks SO much!! I can't wait to get that skirt in my hands! I squealed when I saw it online. And, your review of the canvas tote pushed me to grab it!Thanks SO much for being here!

Love, love the Tessa top on you! I'm waiting to see if it'll come in white or flax before jumping on it but I believe this top is really versatile. Like you, I love my Tillary tote and I'm really glad that I got on sale at such a great price. It really is a great bag for summer. You have made some great choices.

Closet Crisis: Thanks SO much!!! You're very welcome, I'm glad to help! I can't wait to see your review of the top. Thanks SO much for being here!
Envious of your tote! And will have to check out the Tessa top, the colors are great. Trying to quit the pencil skirts, at least for a while but the safari cat is tempting since I cannot resist animal print …
tiffany rose: I really like this tote. I totally agree that the colors of the Tessa Top are really great. J. Crew really does color well. I'm trying to resist the pencil skirts too, but they're so freaking cute!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
the tessa top looks great on you and somehow i missed it too until now.you are lucky that youre PS found you a tillary tote,i regret not buying the blue one.
ina: Thanks SO much!! Like you, I regret not buying the blue version of the Tillary tote!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta! I think we are the same person! I love your style!
laughter through tears: Ha! It's great to have a kindred spirit!!! Thanks SO much!Thanks SO much for being here!!!
Hi Rynetta! Is the Tessa top blue in real life? It looks blue on my screen, yet I've purchased other tops in bright purple and they are really purple in real life. Enjoy the Tillary! Regretfully, I returned mine to the store last week. As I walked out of the store it was frowning at me, and my decision to leave it behind. It's a pretty tote but wouldn't get the use it deserves from me. Thanks for yor help and reviews. 🙂
Hi JustVisiting! The Tessa top is a bright purple in real life. I'll try to capture a clearer picture. I'll edit this post to include the picture. HTH!About the Tillary: I hear you. Initially, I left it in the store, but I couldn't stop thinking about it!! And, you're very welcome for the reviews!Thanks SO much for being here!
I'm laughing at the idea of you squealing in delight – you see it's the little things that make us happy!
Tabitha: I totally agree, the little things make us happy! I'm glad that no one is around when I check the J. Crew website because I squeal often, LOL!Thanks SO much for being here!
I missed this post. I love the chili Tessa on you!!
Gigi: Thanks SO much!!! I really like the Chili color too. It's so vibrant and fun!Thanks SO much for being here!
