J.Crew Geo Brushstroke Dress

When it comes to stocking my closet with fairly frugal pieces that maintain a high level of quality, I turn to J.Crew. They offer chic options both for current trend looks and classic pieces.

This summer I’ve been drawn to this geo brushstroke print. This eye-catching painterly print comes from an Italian mill. They’ve made the print into a dress, shirt, and shorts. Two great things about this print:

1. It is on sale! Each of the pieces is currently on sale and available in most if not all sizes.

2. It will transition great into fall. I can see pairing my dress with booties and a denim jacket. I would pair the shirt with these skinny cargo pants.

Pick up one of these painterly pieces for less than $100 while you can! Heck – check out the entire J.Crew sale section while you’re at it. They are currently offering an extra 30% of sale prices with code “COOLSALE”

    I agree with you that JCrew is great in quality and lets you keep up with the trends without doing too much damage to your wallet. Love the dress and once again love the photos. That background is great. Love the purse as well!

    HI Carrie,
    That’s a great dress.

    I am on an online shopping hiatus however for a bit. I had two unsuccessful romper orders recently (one for Sophie, one for me). In one case they shipped the wrong item, and in the second the romper just fit horribly. It gets a bit frustrating.

    However, I did find luck with the Laura Mercier products you featured awhile back — thanks for that ๐Ÿ™‚

    Take care,
    Sheri

      Oh shopping breaks are no fun! Hmmm… I’m sorry for your bad luck. I’ve been thinking of doing a post with online shopping tips.

  16. Very ethnic choices : great !!
    J. Crew just opened a boutique in Paris : I will pay a visit as soon as I get back to work …
    Nice day …

    1. Carrie says:

      Oh cool! I’d love to hear how the JCrew boutique is in Paris.

  17. I love this outfit! And the setting you chose couldn’t be more perfect! Very editorial, I love it!
