The Tippi

Who doesn't love a casual 3/4 length sleeve sweater that comes in a fun variety of colors? J.Crew's Tippi sweater is the perfect material for layering or wearing on it's own! The material is light weight and buttery soft.  I would buy one in every color if I could afford it!




Before starting the closet remix challenge, J. Crew was having a sale on their Tippi sweaters, and I was dying to get my hands on the brilliant yellow color.  How amazing would it have looked with this turquoise gingham button-up?? 
 


After doing many searches for my size through the We Will Find It For You service, it was finally found in a store in Georgia.  I was so excited, but a few days later the store called me to say they did not have the brilliant yellow, but would send me the lemon pulp that I featured in this blog post for the same price, as a courtesy.


You can imagine how I was beyond thrilled to receive the newest spring color for the sale price!  However, when it arrived in the mail, I wasn't crazy about the shade of yellow.  You see, I have an olive complexion, and the greenish undertones in this shade made me look washed out.

You can imagine my disappointment:( I decided to head into my J.Crew store just to see if they would exchange it for another color.  The manager was beyond accommodating and allowed me to exchange it for another spring color.
I had been eyeing the heather turquoise shade for weeks with hopes of it going on sale.  I scooped this beauty up for an insane discount in exchange for the lemon pulp color. Yay me! I Cannot wait to style it with my beaded rose necklace!  Here's what I'm thinking...

Spring, hurry up and get here!!

Have a lovely day!
xoxo

  1. Love the Tippi (I have the marrakech purple on right now)! It really is the perfect sweater. Every time they go on sale, I add to my collection!:) I just bought the heather turquoise on sale last week! I am loving everything about how you've styled it above! I think I will have to copy this look when my beaded rose necklace arrives!
