Carrie Dress in Stripe, Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirtdress, Off-the-Shoulder Dress in Ratti Into the Wild

Wow. I expected J.Crew to finish strong with a percent-off-total-purchase promo. Instead they stuck with the sale promo that’s been around for weeks/months. They didn’t even try to make it special by putting making all sale items and additional 50% off, like the stores are doing, though it is Final Sale in-stores. I did receive an email that stores are giving out mystery scratch-off cards, through Sunday.

~ Carrie Dress in Stripe, Brilliant Sunflower, size 8 ~

This is reminiscent of the Striped Blouson Dress from a few Summers ago, though in the Carrie Cami style this time. It’s a midi-style so I could maybe size to a Petite to make it a little shorter and/or wear strappy heeled sandals with it. I liked the fit of it and it does certainly look better with the top a little blousy over the elastic waist compared to pulled down straight. The yellow is a pretty color though I would prefer a few other options, like a green or red stripe. The outer is silk and it’s lined in poly so not very Summer friendly for South Texas.

~ Short-Sleeve Chambray Shirtdress, Small ~

When I saw this in the roll-out last week I knew I wanted it. I am living in these dresses right now and though it would be a perfect addition to my growing collection of easy-to-wear shirtdresses. The Small fits well, so size down one. The chambray is soft, not stiff. And I ended up not getting this at the time, in favor of the next dress

~ Off-the-Shoulder Dress in Ratti Into the Wild Print, size 6 ~

I was not expecting to like this print or this dress so much. When I saw the print online I thought it was way to busy, but the various greens just pop. There’s a toucan and butterflies in the print along with bright colored flowers. The size 6 fit me well and though I was a bit hesitant to get another off-the-shoulder item, I knew I would wear it a lot this Summer. I’ve already worn it once and received so many compliments on it. The tan I have helps those colors pop, I think.

I’m not sure if I’ll venture in the store this weekend to pick up one of those scratch-offs. Will you?
