This is such a cute dress. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect white dress for a while now. I purchased the Carly Ruffle Dress last year in white but have never worn it. I guess I really couldn’t get past the layered ruffles. But this dress, well, it’s definitely going to be worn.

The receipt says it’s the Channing Embroidered Bib Dress. The style number is also different, 51534 vs 42781 for the Mirabel Dress and 42968 for the Siesta Dress. They are all the same style and cut – empire waist, shirred A-line skirt, cap-like sleeves. The Mirabel Dress comes in Muslin Poppy and Faded Black Sand and is $148.

The Siesta Dress color is White Indigo and is like a lightweight seersucker. I’ve tried this one on before but I guess I failed to post the pic. The Siesta has neon yellow embroidered at the sleeves. I tried this on in a 6 and the fit was good. I still had a little room in the waist and the shoulders nor bust weren’t snug. Because of this I would say it fits TTS. It is $138.

Tried on with a neon yellow belt.
I saw the Mirabel over the weekend online. I ordered the black because I couldn’t get over the style and embroidered design. I was just walking by the dresses in-store today when I saw this white one. I knew it had to be the same dress, just a different colorway so I tried it on to make sure the size 6 I ordered was the right size. I chatted up the online PS to get measurements but forgot to write them down to give to you. This dress fits the same as the Siesta so it is TTS. I added the Jade green belt for a little color. Love it! (This is $148 as well.)

Now I can’t wait until my black dress gets here. And, um, yeah…anyone want a White Ruffled Carly Dress, Size 6, $65 shipped?

Here’s what I’m wearing today in honor of Cinco de Mayo.

J Crew Summerweight Bermuda Shorts, 6
Toms Wedges, 7

And here are some other outfits I’ve worn over the past week or so.

For the Royal Wedding – I missed the ceremony but was up in time for the 2 kisses. I then watched the replay of the ceremony on E! I figured gold was appropriate.

J Crew Serengeti Cami, 8
J Crew Jackie in Beechwood, M
Toms Wedges

And I painted my nails in Butter London “Snog”

Over the Weekend…

J Crew Cocodrillo Shorts, 8
J Crew Capri Sandals, 7
It was pretty chilly on Monday, compared to our warm weekend weather so I was able to break out my Casbah scarf! 
J Crew Vintage Cotton Ruffle Tee, White, S
J Crew Factory Bling-Button Cardigan, White, M
J Crew Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans, 30
Toms Glitter Shoes
J Crew Casbah Scarf

It was a little warmer yesterday but still nice enough for a cardigan.

J Crew Featherweight Cardigan
J Crew Whisper Linen Tee, Black, S
J Crew Garden Skirt, Sage, 6
J Crew Tri-Buckle Waist Belt, S
J Crew Loretta Wood Heels, Modern Red, 7

The Tee and Skirt are currently available online and in-stores in various colors. The Linen Tees are sheer, hence the “Whisper” in the name. I am wearing a cami from The Limited underneath it. Even through these are sheer they are perfect for summer. I bought the tee in several colors and plan to get a lot of use out of them. The tee runs big so size down one. The skirt fits TTS and I had a hard time deciding between this skirt and the Perfect Linen Shirt in the same color (which is not online BTW).

And now for the shoes. These fit TTS. I am a consistent size 7 in J Crew shoes. The wood base/heel reminds me of the Dr. Scholl’s Shoes. I don’t like the way it ties and they are a little loud when you walk. I do like the color and style of this sandal and I think these will be a fun summer sandal.

Have a great day! VIVA!
