One of the quietest yet the most gorgeous collections out there every season, has to be J. Crew. With the fresh take of high fashion couture turned into something wearable and able to style for every fashionable woman out there.

A beautiful turquoise paisley print on a short women’s jumpsuit was one of my favorite outfits displayed for their  Spring 2011 collection. Bright bold hues mixed with an Aztec or unique print makes these pieces easily wearable for any night out, a day time event or even on your vacation to somewhere a little more magical than your hometown. When wearing a women’s jumpsuit, we can take notes from J. Crew’s collection.

With the flowy material of any women’s jumpsuit, whether it cuts all the way down to your ankle or stops at the thighs or knees, to add more shape to your figure take a nice thick brown belt to complement the natural shades of the fabric. When you cinch the brown belt at the waistline, it immediately takes the look of your jumpsuit or romper and creates a distinct waistline and thus adds even more style to a simple cut.

For the shoes, the most important part of all, I love the style of the olive green socks with the strappy women’s dress sandals. Any type of women’s dress sandals are bound to go one of two ways. If worn without a pair of socks, the sandals can be viewed as being rather fancy! But, when worn with socks, those same exact shoes can now become a pair of shoes that are both causal yet dressy, but more urban with a pair of socks. Even though the romper is playful and fun, you can still industrialize your look a bit with the dressed up sandals worn with a pair of cotton socks in a neutral shade. You don’t want your socks to be too overpowering or irrelevant to the color of the shoe. Therefore, it is important to consider the fabric and color of the material worn.

Another simple and easily do-able outfit from J. Crew’s collection has to be a tangerine-orange Aztec print mini skirt worn with a beige knitted cropped sweater, loosely tucked in and a pair of tan buckled women’s ankle boots. This look is ready for the last leg of summer and early cool Fall. Which is the perfect time to stock up on your last few items that will carry you through before boots and coats become your uniform. Taking a soft cotton print skirt and adding texture with a chunky knitted sweater is the perfect combination. And finally, ending with a leather tan buckled pair of women’s ankle boots and a matching cross over bag is the perfect way to end an easy-to-do ensemble that you can put together all year round!
