I really didn’t plan on dressing like America, but that’s what happened. It must be the Olympic spirit. Do you guys watch the winter games? I love them, but I must admit I don’t always root for the USA. I mean that’s my default, but if someone from another country has a great back story or is wearing a great outfit (um, hello Norwegian curling team), I will not-so-secretly hope they win. Maybe that’s unpatriotic of me, but I’m not too worried about it. I have a feeling Team USA will win plenty of medals without my help.
OK, moving on. I posted an Instagram from the Target dressing room last week and got a lot of YESes for this jacket. Or maybe it was just 2, but whatever. Well, I’m nothing if not a good listener, so I went back for it! The best part? At $40, it’s a much more wallet-friendly (and nearly identical) version of the J. Crew field jacket. Score. I would totally win the gold medal for shopping.

Argh. So much for my spending moratorium. That jacket is divine! So…inquiring minds want to know: true to size or do I size up (like I always do due to my linebacker shoulders)?
TTS. I actually wish it came in XS so it would be a little more fitted on me. I have the opposite of linebacker shoulders…ballerina shoulders? I guess that would be the advantage of splurging on the J. Crew version – more size options!
I’m really in love with your Hunter Wellies they are such a lovely color.

Love it!
Oh my goodness, that curling team looks amazing!! (I’ve been intrigued by football-player Vernon Wells’s recent interest in curling…)
Plus, that jacket is great (and so like the JCrew version) – it would be perfect for this weekend when we finally emerge from the polar vortex for a few days 🙂
Such a cute look! Loving that dress and your pop of color with the necklace! I’m with you—my default is usually USA–but if an athlete has a great story I find myself rooting for them!

Ha! I totally agree with your approach to rooting for Olympics. I’m such a sucker for an underdog or a flashy outfit. 😉
Love the Target jacket — it’s such a good steal!

Gold Medal worthy for sure! The striped dress is solid too.
