I can not wait any longer to wear my new J Crew Dressy Jersey Strapless Dress. I wish they had given this a cute name like the "Claire" or the "Katie" so I could just say that. Maybe I should name her myself. Anyway, this dress is seriously fabulous. I think I am going to get it in another color - the Marine Aqua or the Papaya. The only other color out is a dark navy (thanks Sumerilla for letting me know! I thought it was black!).
So today I am wearing it to church, shopping, and a lunch date with one of my little girls, with an AT Loft Jackie look-alike in a beautiful Tiffany blue and shoes similar to the Polyvore. I don't have the clutch yet, but if I like it as much IRL as I do in the pics, I will soon! Btw, it is priced at $68 in the catalog, but $48 online. Haven't seen the store tag yet. Easy, comfy, polished, perfect.
I purchased the Loft cardi yesterday - they had a whole table of them in the front of the store marked to $24.50 (from $39.50). It didn't ring up at the price, but they were clearly marked, so the SA adjusted it. I have it in white and black, and I should have picked up the champagne color also... such a great piece that I use a lot. They had all the basics and some additional pretty Spring colors. They also have a nice brown similar to J Crew's desert brown (which is currently on sale for $39.99 from $59.50).
I also stopped by Old Navy yesterday... they had some amazing deals going on... but I only got a price adjustment on the baby doll tops I bought last week - they are now marked to $15 from $19.50. Super deal! I love this top. So, I will look at it as I actually made money for shopping at ON yesterday!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday.
Yes, I need/want "Claire"----hahaha) such a pretty dress! I will have to look into AT Loft, I never think to shop there..........and i love that light blue! Last time i was there, I didn't see this blue, or brown. Maybe they are new??? Happy Sunday:)
ReplyDeleteYes AT Loft has new colors out. It is a great cardi/great price. I put a J Crew in the set because the AT Loft pics all have them on the models - the AT one is a more "Tiffany box" blue - really pretty! They had a nice yellow too. Hope you are having a great birthday weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe other color it comes in is navy but its a really dark blue, almost black. I had originally purchased the navy but traded it for the dark charcoal and papaya, those colors are just more fun. I love this dress so much too I wish they had it in an assortment of colors, I'd buy every one.
ReplyDeleteoh thanks! I wish more colors too...
ReplyDeleteHey sparrows! Thanks for the tip on Bellevue square and on Porterdavis. I usually don't pay any attention to those, but glad I tried them out on itunes. have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks fidele! Glad you like pd - in the interest of full disclosure, I will tell you the drummer is my brother! :) They are amazing live!
ReplyDeleteYou look fabbie in the Claire! I love the Tiffany blue and dark gray combo. I am coveting the clutch as well. I wonder how much it is in the store? Strange how the prices can be so different on-line and in the catalog! I was too busy to go shopping yesterday (what???!!!), but maybe today (fingers crossed!).
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I tried the "Claire" on in dark charcoal too, fab. Can you wear a bra w/ this dress? That is my concern?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jillle and caliglam! I looooove it. So comfy, and when my 7 yr old saw it was strapless, she though her mom was tres glamorous! LOL! And yes, I have on a strapless bra... It is a perfect fit for me, but for some more endowed ladies, it might not work...
ReplyDeleteReally need to go check out Claire this week, before my Mickey card expires. (And that will actually be a good day, when it does)
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute!
Phew-----finally cleaned up from my son's bday party yesterday and now that he's napping, just browsing online.....thanks for posting a "real life" pic of how the dress looks with your cardi. Confirms my need/want for the dress, haha:)
ReplyDeleteYou look super good. I love the ATL cardi. That blue is pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh geez. I wasn't interested in anything else from J.Crew until just now. You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Heidi, Mrs.A, Gigi and Roxy! I just bought the Papaya too (and some other things)! Now I am DONE with my Mickey Card!!
ReplyDeleteI tried the papaya yesterday but I didn't get it, I felt it wasn't well priced but it's just my opinion and the fact that I know that I wouldn't get much wear out of it. It looks fab on you though, maybe I should have tried the dark charcoal instead!
ReplyDeleteSomething about it is just perfect for me for some reason! And I am not at all a "dress" person. I also bought the Papaya today. I will certainly always wear it with cardigans here, but am envisioning using the two dresses on a trip back home where it will be hot (GA, FL, AL) this summer! I would also use these as a swim cover. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty blue! I love the outfit! Next time I'm at ATL I have to check those cardis out!!
ReplyDeletethanks! they are very very similar to the J Crew Jackie.
