What are you dressing in these days? With the weather starting to warm up, slipping into airy, lightweight garments feels delightful. This week, J.Crew is hosting their Big Summer Event, where you can find discounts of up to 50% on nearly everything. Here are our selections, including the lovely pointelle cardigan and tank, featured above…
A quintessential summer ensemble: striped blouse paired with white shorts. Additionally, a barn jacket perfect for all year round — such a beautiful shade of blue. (This knit blouse would be a great choice as well.)
What about a playful skirt for card games with pals in gardens? (We learned Spite & Malice last night!)
Discovered: the perfect relaxed travel blouse suitable for everything from trains to parks to dinner outings. Plus, it’s available in eight colors.
Nothing is chicer than a linen dress featuring utility pockets. This is how I always envisioned dressing when I became an adult. So classic.
Would you don this stunning halter dress for intimate evenings out? Perhaps styled with gold hoops and some bronzer on your shoulders.
And a classic sculpting one-piece for lounging by the pool. Just the other day, I realized I’ve been wearing J.Crew swimsuits for two decades! They’re all so wonderful.
What’s appealing to you in their summer event? I also find these trendy sandals and comfortable heels quite appealing.
