hearts.

Style
A few years ago I did a stint in retail working at J.Crew – and let me tell you, it was the best job ever. Besides the killer discount {which I miss every damn day of my life}, I was surrounded by gorgeous clothes, lovely women and the coolest pieces all year round. I literally went to school in Appleton Wisconsin and drove the 2 hours home every weekend just so I could work at the Madison store for a few days a week. That’s just how awesome it was – and also probably alludes to the fact that I’m a little bit nuts 😉 
Fall was always my favorite season, and each year we’d have a few killer items that sold out right away. This heart sweater was one of those coveted pieces that was sold out the day it hit the store. People would come in asking for us to search online and stores in California {because their cousin’s cousin lived there and might be able to pick it up…} – it was just that good. On one fateful weekend day, a women returned said sweater because of a “terrible” snag, and I in turn was able to snag it for myself – with a pretty awesome “damaged” price too! It was like I won the retail lottery {and I obviously followed suit with a victory dance all my own.}
Every fall, this sucker comes out of my closet and reminds me of that year stint at J.Crew – and how much I miss it. If it wasn’t for that whole full time job, freelance, blogging stuff, I’d probably try to work there at least once a week too. Maybe someday I’ll make it happen again 🙂 
Shop a few of my favorite J.Crew fall gems below:
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
And similar pieces in this post too!: 
!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
Special thanks to Jess for the photos!

    That skirt is killer!! And I would totally do the same thing if I worked at J.Crew. I'm afraid to work in retail because I'll have no money saved!
