J.Crew Dress in Vineyard Jacquard 

You know those pieces you see online and immediately click ‘add to cart’ because you know you simply can’t live without it?

Well, that’s not exactly how I felt about this J.Crew dress! Ha. Sure, I thought it was very pretty, but I wasn’t immediately sold when I saw it online.

However, when I went into the store, I saw it an fell in love. Indeed, the jacquard is so lovely in person – rich in texture and vibrant in color. I’ve already worn it out and about, and I love how it can be dressed up or down. As you see in these pictures, I paired it with knee high boots and a little denim jacket for a sunny day in Houston last week.

Without a doubt, I’ll be living in this one now and all spring long; I’ll simply swap out the boots for a pair of espadrilles or sandals.
