During the #JCrewStyleSession two weeks ago, my VPS and Store Manager both wanted me to try the Carrie Dress in Big Dot. I was unaware at the time that it was the same style as the dress in Hawaiian Sunset and originally was not a fan of that print. Because of this dress, I know am.

The color is Ivory and the dots seem black to me. I haven’t seen it outside yet so it could be navy. Gigi also tried it on here. You can see that the dots on Gigi’s dress in the same places and the online shot shows the same placement. To me the dot placement at the waist gives the illusion of being slimmer. I have on the size 6. Because this fits just exactly at the top I think it seems to be more of an A-line silhouette on me, flaring out starting at the bust.

The racer-back means a strapless bra, unless you are brave enough to go without one. The length is normal for me but will be shorter on taller ladies.

This vest is the Sleeveless Linen Blazer from Banana Republic in 8 Petite. I was able to get this during one of the promos from last week. I also tried on the 6 and the Petite is about an inch shorter in length and I am able to easily close the one-button as opposed to a slightly tighter fit on the 6. I really like this blazer and is perfect for being a little more dressy during the summer. The color is white and though it contrasts a little with the color of the dress it still works.BR usually has 40% off on Wednesday’s though the Women’s Blazers are usually excluded from the promo online.
