OUR J.MCLAUGHLIN IN-STORE TRY ONS; MY CASUAL OOTD
Terry’s J.McLaughlin Dress and Puffer Try On
My plan was to quickly return something to J.McLaughlin and come back home, but as soon as I entered the store I was so mesmerized by the happy colors and beautiful prints that I decided to stay awhile and try on a few things. (I ended up buying four–a Short Sleeve Puffer and Gingham Top in the store and another Short Sleeve Puffer and The Poet Sweater In Stripe on line a few days later.)
I also was struck with how pretty another patron looked wearing a J.McLaughlin Ivory Sleeveless Shift Dress (on sale) with a Short-Sleeve Puffer Jacket and Nude Suede Heels. I loved her outfit so much, in fact, that I asked her if I could film and photograph her for my YouTube channel and blog. She was so sweet, she said yes. Her name is Terry, she is from Naples, and she did such a great job of modeling for me, especially considering she is not a model, I am a total stranger to her, and I accosted her out of the blue! Two photographs of her are below and the video clip of her modeling the outfit is featured on the YouTube video at the bottom of this post. Thank you, Terry 🙂
My Quick and Casual OOTD
The outfit I wore that day is so comfortable and, I confess, repeats two items I’ve already shown in the last two months. I also, again, wasn’t wearing any makeup, and even the lip gloss is old and no longer being made. Had I known I was going to film myself, I would have at least worn a lip color that was available, because so many of you like to know where you can purchase the clean makeup products I wear.
Nevertheless, I thought it was a good idea to show you the real me, unplanned, so you can see I do repeat the same items, even exact outfits within the same month. Especially when I decide to go out last minute, and I am on a limited time schedule, so I want to get dressed quickly.
My outfit consisted of Light Beige Pull-On Chinos and a Dark Wash Denim Shirt. I carried my Louis Vuitton My LV World Tour Crossbody Bag. I love these chinos, because of the easy pull-on style and light khaki color (although they also are available in a pretty navy). I’ve lost count how many times I’ve worn them!
If you have any questions about any of the items I’ve featured in this post, I’d be happy to answer them the best I can.

When I see American flags on any vehicle I immediately think of Trumpers or QAnons, neither of whom have ever been patriots.
I’m so sorry seeing the flags makes you feel that way, Lynn.
Wow, anyone should be able to their opinions… mine, is mr Trump is America only President to protect the important issues. Unborn babies are people without a voice. When God is canceled here are the consequences… a society of secularism.
Liebe Janis, ich finde dein wahres ich, sehr sehr schön! Du brauchst wirklich nicht viel, ein bisschen lipgloss, und du siehst wirklich sehr schön und gesund aus!! Darf ich dich fragen, was du denn für deine Gesichtspflege benutzt? Reiniger und Creme? Ich habe so eine trockene Haut und es ist schwierig, was gutes zu finden. Lieben Dank und alles Liebe. Herzliche Grüße, Martina
Thank you, Martinia. I’m still trying out cleansers and moisturizers and can’t recommend one yet that I love. I will be sure to share one when I have found one that works for me.
I couldn’t agree more. Sad.
I am so sorry that’s your experience. I love the American flag and even though you are mostly right I refuse to give Trumpers or QAnons that much power. Never that is my flag and I love it too

Hi Janis,
My first thought in seeing you at McLaughlin’s, was, Janis should be the model in this store! You would be perfect! Clothes look fabulous on you! I love all the ones you picked out. Also, I love the motorcycles! My husband owns a Harley Davison. He has an American flag on it. When I see our great flag, I place my hand over my heart in remembrance of all who lost their lives so we can enjoy our freedom. We all have our opinions. That is our freedom. By the way, I’ve never rode on my hubby’s bike! I’m more the chauffeur type 😉! By the way, you look fabulous without makeup! I have been taking a leap of faith lately and going out without makeup! Wow! What freedom! Ok, I do wear oversized sunglasses 🕶! Many Blessings, your friend, Sarah❤☀🙋😻
I’m with you about Janis, looking amazing in everything she wears….. also, feel proud of our American flag. It represents goodness, sacrifice, so we can still live with FREEDOM.
THank you, Sarah 😉 I’m so happy you are able to go without makeup and be ok about it. That’s great!! Even with the sunglasses :-)Many blessings back.
Lovely clothes as always and pinks are definitely your colour!
Thank you so much, Prue 🙂
Janis, I discovered JMc store in Highlands nc about 8 years ago. I was just walking enjoying a beautiful day” when I look at the windows and saw the colors I needed to go inside.. ..the colors were calling my name. . . The clothes, and material are just beautiful.. the wraps, ponchos pants tops are exquisite… the best part when a sale comes is worth it Im still wearing them. We are back in Florida… freezing Florida many times I get compliments on their ponchos wraps everything JMc .
Alicia, I drove through Highlands, NC many years ago. Oh my gosh, such a pretty spot! I didn’t realize the store was up there, too. I’m so happy you like the it, too. 🙂
My first purchase at J.McLaughlin was in New York City at their first tiny shop not far from our first home, a coop apartment in a brownstone. A navy blue blazer….wish I still had it! The pink top and the puffer are perfect on you…I hope you brought both home! We can’t wear the puffer very often in the Deep South, but when you need it, you NEED it! Your model was sweet to show off the clothing…you both sent me to the 40 %off sale on line, and I made a purchase! So glad you are back!
Thank you for visiting the blog again, Jayne! She was so sweet, wasn’t she? I hope you love, love your purchase!
Hi Janis!
Love your new video as usual. I am so entranced by your LV Alma bag.. I love any Vuitton that has the black or brown trim instead of the vachetta leather that stains so easily. I think it might be too small for me but I am going to see if I can track the bag down second hand as it doesn’t appear to be currently sold on the LV website anymore.
I also wanted to tell you that your last video inspired me to buy a faux fur vest in black. I do think it will enhance and elevate any outfit that I wear it with so thanks for the idea!
Hi, Claudia! Thank you!. Regarding the LV World Tour Alma BB, you can find a link to the bag I’m carrying in this post at the bottom of the post, where it lists the items. Here is the link here:
When you are at the site, just choose the black exterior/red interior choice. 🙂
Oh also.. what is the name of the company that you have featured that sells monogrammed small leather goods?
Thanks for letting me know.
Claudia, I apologize for this late reply to your question. The company is Mark & Graham. 🙂 ~Janis
