"This is the mileage piece that can be easily dressed up with statement heels and sparkly baubles or dressed down with a leather belt, and tough-girl bling."
Tee hee hee hee. Tough-girl bling. J Crew loves their hyphens more than I love my ellipses. They also loooove saying "piled on necklaces."
Size 6 - I can't remember if I was able to zip this up all the way or not. I know I wouldn't be interested in petite if it's any shorter.
Shot of the grosgrain ribbon that was a bit shopworn.
Also...
* Coralie cami - Only 2 colors were marked down in the past. Looks like all colors are now on sale. Irl pics
* Fade-out sailor tee - Marked down to $29.99.
* Jenna's cardigan - Marked down to $59.99.
* Metallic beach cardigan - Irl pics
* Printed embossed Lorelei dress - Love this dress. It has pockets. Check it out on Sugar & Spice
Final faves...
* Drawstring henley dress - I rolled the dice on this after reading that it's a "heavier subtantial slub cotton." I did an online chat about t. The XS chest/waist measure 34". The S chest/waist measures 36" and the M chest/waist measures 38". I got a M since my waist is still measuring 33" instead of my average 28". I want to throw it in the washer & dryer without worry. I hope this dress works because I definitely didn't like the thinness of the material on the drawstring v-neck henley dress or the way it looked on me.
* Jackie shell - Oh man, I should have gotten this in dark charcoal. Oh well.
* Perfect-fit ruffle henley tee - I have this in navy from long ago. I had to pick at least one color on this promo & got the heather grey.
* Perfect-fit short-sleeve V-neck tee - I didn't like the honey color in another tee, but have & like it in this. Visit the long sleeve v-neck, too. On that one bright amethyst is supah purty and the vintage orange is interesting.
* Wychmere studded flip-flops - Almost threw these on to reach the min for free shipping. My mind went to the # of flip flops I own & figured out something else. Cute, though.

You look stunning in that dress.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute dress!
ReplyDeleteThat dress looks awesome on you Gigi! Love it.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of the dress. How did you feel about the material?
ReplyDeleteWowza, that dress is amazing on you! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, glaydies! ;-)
ReplyDeleteEbony - The material was meh. The grosgrain ribbon is a big so that part feels...grainy? You know how the strands of ribbon feels. I think the deal about the natural color & this cut is it reminds me of a bathrobe. That can be broken up w/a belt and then the cardi, but it still wasn't worth the final sale price. Not with so many other dresses I already own.
Oh, I think the Ginny looks great on you!!! I ordered an 8, my usual size, but it was a bit snug. I then ordered the 10 and 10P...10P was way too short. Looked childish. The 10 fit perfectly. This must run a bit small. I did go with the natural b/c I'm thinking the pewter will look "worn" too quickly. Also think a chunky turquoise necklace will do nicely and maybe a scarf at waist. I got for $41 when all was said and done.
ReplyDeleteRebecca - Thanks for chiming in. Turq sounds cute w/the natural dress. I agree. It gets a bit Barbie if it's too short, imo.
