TRIARCHY Eliza belted denim shorts curated on LTK

I forgot how great and easy these shorts are. The belt adds a lot of polish to this look, and the Target shoes ground it in ease.

I’m wearing the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Boxy Crewneck Sweater ($80) in faded denim, size small.
My size: 5’7”, usually 26 jeans, 0-4 in US sizes.

I get a lot of questions about Jenni Kayne, and the similarities to Everlane always struck me. For Black Friday, I’m sharing these twins with you so you can decide.

A lot of the difference comes down to the images. Jenni Kayne’s models tend to wear the cardigan without a layer underneath, and the photos at Everlane and Quince are styled more like practical work outfits.

J.Crew’s going out pieces have been so strong this year. Most of these work for day as well, and it’s easy to combine them with your own staples.

* The jeans and a silk blouse plus a mid-thigh coat
* The chain-trim jacket over a cami with midi and boots
* The embellished top with a mini skirt and the shoes you’ve been dying to show off

How can you tell luxury without looking at the price?

These are important aspects to examine. Here are some tricks to spot quality issues.

3. Leather quality
4. Hardware

Some of my favorite cashmere sweaters are on sale!

The Nordstrom’s sweater is lightweight and very beautifully done. It’s got a delicate, gorgeous drape. Bloomingdale’s cashmere is a pass and not in the same category.

Uniqlo has the best classic sweater - i scrunch up the sleeves and play with the waist to modernize it. Lots of colors are on sale.

And a bunch of excellent Banana Republic cashmere sweaters are on sale, with an extra 20% off.

I’m wearing the polo sweater from Banana Republic from last year, size small.

Bottom left: Uniqlo sweater, size small, 73 purple (which is not on sale).

I’m 5’7” and wear sizes 0-4, or a small.

As of today, the price of gold is $85.61 per gram, and sterling silver is $0.9904 per gram. It’s fascinating to compare the price of jewelry from new to preloved, and I appreciate that The Real Real lists the weight in grams for each piece.

1. Hermes’ necklace is 18k gold. J.Crew’s pieces are brass, gold-plated recycled zinc, and cubic zirconia.

2. Both Hermes and Etsy use sterling silver. The Etsy mariner necklaces are come in 4.6mm to 14mm; the Hermès necklace is 10mm wide.

3. The Herakles Knot Ring from The Met Store is 14K gold plate over 925 Sterling silver base. Hermès’ ring is 18k gold.

4. The Hermès bracelet is sterling silver, and Mango is 100% zinc.

5. The Hermès necklace is 18k gold, and Mango uses 85% brass, 8% stainless steel, 5% zinc, 2% acrylic.

Lots of brands have mariner chain necklaces now, but J.Crew’s gold tone is warm, rich, and beautiful. Cos looks a bit too green to me.#classicstyle #hermes #jewelry#LTKHoliday

I am loving the gold tone at J.Crew - it’s gold-plated brass. Gold tones are not easy to execute it well, and I am so happy with my recent J.Crew jewelry purchases.

Of course, The Met brings inspiration from history and gorgeous gold plating as well.

Big overlap between the sweaters I’m enjoying the most and the sweaters most popular with you! I wish I could wear more of them - it’s gonna be 76° today 😭

I’m wearing size small in all the sweaters. The Ralph Lauren cable knit sweater is very fitted - size up for a relaxed fit.
