One of my coworkers Skyped me about the J.Crew Factory 30% off sale one afternoon and just for the fun of it I started surfing the site to see what they had. I found a few things I really liked but most were out of stock in my size so I kept perusing and found myself in the "Girls" section of the site. Eventually I ended up finding this dress and I absolutely fell in love with it. The colors, the nautical aspect of it and it has POCKETS! Everything about it screamed that it needed to be in my closet immediately but it was a girls dress in sizes I am SO not familiar with so what now? I decided to bring up the adult and kids sizing chart and try comparing the sizes and go from there. Then after much deliberation and going back and forth with said coworker I finally just decided to take the plunge and get it. I mean an adorable J.Crew dress for only $25, how can you pass that up? Of course the dress came in the mail while I was out of town visiting my friend in Ft. Myers so the second I got home I immediately tried it on and was thrilled that I could actually get it over my head (I have a rather large head people, the fear it wouldn't go over my melon sized noggin was real). I wasn't AS worried about it being too short since I am basically the size of a 14 year old any way, and yes I did Google this to confirm it before ordering, but I was a bit concerned. Needless to say I was super excited when it fit and wasn't completely inappropriate! I did feel a bit uncomfortable wearing it with heels or wedges so it's definitely going to be a flats only dress but I'm still totally in love with it!
How cute! I love the balance of the different sized stripe at the bottom. No one would ever guess that this came from the kids section - I may need to do some stealthy shopping there too!
Great shift dress!! I definitely wore my first ever shift dress on Saturday and was obsessed with how comfortable it is!! The one you bought - LOVE IT!!
I love that this dress was in the little girls section....I mean shoot it's way cheaper right? My forever 21 has a little girls section and I kept on finding random pieces on the rack that was like girls large and I so wanted to try on a few pieces but had some nightmare visions of getting stuck again in the dressing room...... That dress looks perfect on you!!! I love all things nautical and stripped that is for sure!!
I need to find a J Crew factory store asap! I love the colors and style of this dress! So beachy but classic! I'm on the short side as well so maybe I need to check out some of the girls clothing.
Oh my gosh I love this dress!! I like how the bottom makes it just a little bit more different than a typical striped dress. SO cute! www.amemoryofus.blogspot.com
Umm perfection!! When I saw this on IG I couldn't wait to see the whole look :) A shift dress looks ahmazing on you--you have the perfect shape for it skinny mini ha! Glad you took the plunge and tried it out!
