J. Crew Favorites for Spring
Dress || Heels ($50 off with code SARAHFLINT-BAKATIE) || Clutch || Earrings
This time of year is particularly dangerous on my poor wallet. After months of brands gearing up from cold-weather styles, which really don’t apply to Florida, pastels and warm weather pieces return. Because of our sub-tropical climate, I get to enjoy these pieces as soon as they get home. It’s seriously one of my favorite perks of living in the Sunshine State. Recently, J. Crew launched the beginning of their Spring/Resort collection and I’ve been drooling over so many things. The first to be added to my virtual shopping cart was this stunning midi dress, which I’ll go more into later. Here’s a quick roundup of my favorite New Arrivals for J. Crew, just in time for any potential Spring trips!
Lavender Tiered Ruffled Dress
As soon as I laid eyes on this pretty dress, I knew it had to be mine! Hands, down it’s my favorite piece. It gives me a little flashback to a similar dress from last year, but the look has been updated with a midi length and pinstripe pattern. I know I’m getting ahead of myself, but I know this will be a fan favorite for the Easter holiday. Until then, I plan on wearing it for date night or just when I need a little dose of feminine style.
Floral Belted Shirtdress
In a very close second is this shirtdress in Liberty London floral. If you would have asked me a few years ago about my opinion on floral patterns, I would have said they weren’t for me. Oh, how much can change in a few years. Now, I naturally gravitate towards dainty and fine florals that keep adding so much character to an otherwise simple outfit.
Floral Ruffle-Shoulder Top
Again, more floral! The colors in this printed and ruffled blouse are gorgeous and I would love to see more of this combination. My new favorite dress also comes in the same floral. The question is, do I have the self-control to not buy it? When I find a dress style I love, I tend to go a little overboard.
White Slim Boyfriend Jeans
I’ve become a firm believer in wearing white jeans year-round. Actually, they’re probably the most worn in my jean collection. Each Spring, I take the opportunity to grab a new pair so I can wear the brightest shade of white. The past few years have all been about a boyfriend style and I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. This slim-fit pair is slightly distressed, giving it a little more edge than I’m used to.
Yellow Cashmere Sweater
Even in the Sunshine State, Spring can still bring you the occasional cool spell. It can’t always be sundresses and sandals after all. Having a few sweaters on hand can be a lifesaver, especially if you’re one to turn up the AC. I love these J. Crew cashmere sweaters. They come at a great price point and in a rainbow of colors. Since I’m all about brights, this yellow color is a new brainer.
Lemon 4″ Chino Shorts
I’ve been a J. Crew chino short loyalist since at least college. Because of the fit, the feel, and the colors, they’re the perfect pair of shorts to slip on. I’ve even been able to dress them up for a date night out. This Spring, there are new colors to love, including this bright lemony yellow. Pair with a coordinating cashmere sweater for a perfectly monochromatic look. Other colors I’m loving are sweet lavender and bright pink.
Pink Ribbed Bikini Top & Bikini Bottom
Similar to my white jeans, I always like to treat myself to a new swimsuit each year. You never know when a beach day will present itself, but maybe that’s a Florida thing? J. Crew is pretty much my sole destination for swimwear, whether it’s a one-piece or bikini, I love it all! For this season, I have my eye on this ribbed bikini set in the prettiest shade of pink. The high-waisted bottom is always my preferred style and is just so flattering.
Gingham Detailed Sneakers
I happened to buy a pair of J. Crew’s Saturday sneakers on clearance last year. Honestly, what took me so long. They’re incredibly comfortable and are perfect for running errands around town. Especially since we’re working remotely, David and I walk a lot around town. These shoes have been up to the task and without the slightest blister. If you’re looking for a classic pair of white shoes, definitely consider these, with just a touch of gingham for good measure.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Each week, they’re unveiling more and more new arrivals that make my heart flutter. Shop them for yourself and you may just find a little excuse to treat yourself with something for Spring.
Love from Florida,
Katie
