Madewell 1937 is the Coziest Thing for Fall

Passing the window of a Madewell store is, for me,  like walking past a candy store with too little money and too big an appetite.  I just had to go inside!

As soon as I did I noticed the new fall trends peeking out from behind the store's unlimited selection of denim.  From bright to deep hues and an assortment of soft to flowy fabrics with a smooth hand, and "please come touch me!" texture was surrounded by beaded gold and silver jewelry, leather accessories, and cute quirky details that resemble the family room you've always wanted in that Better Homes and Gardens magazine.  Not only do I want to try on all the styles of denim, but buy the figurines as well!  As usually, however, I settled...
...I stuck to the classics; the 37's "Modern Vintage Skinny Skinny Jeans" and the "Sail Away Tee." 
With a thicker chain actually looped into the neck of the three quarter sleeve shirt, there is no need for a necklace...settle for chunky gold studs and it would look like you're settling at all!  The fabric was more than what you would expect from cotton, the colors were bright and distinct, but the XS (shown here) runs large, as is a standard for all Madewell sizes.  I personally prefer a little room though because I can tuck and blouse, belt, or hang (with slim bottoms that is).  The look is "the artists meets the sea," which actually flows together quit nicely.  
The instant I wedged the skinny jeans on I knew they were substantial and ready for the long hall and ware and tear that I require of my clothes.  The legs were very slim, as was the waist, but the booty and waist had a bit more give.  I have an athletic shape so I am always carefully when it comes to skinny jeans, however these were worth it! Shop online or call for store locations.  The employees are trained to give YOU the service THEY would want themselves (trust me, I once worked for J. Crew ;D)
