j. crew dress {very old} . havaianas flip flops . warby parker sunglasses . canvas tote {last seen here}
I’ve had this J. Crew beach dress hanging in my closet since college. I had picked it up from the glorious sale section in the mall by school. It was an amazing place to shop, this was back in the day when you could use your student discount on sale items and they always had a massive selection. I haven’t worn it much since then. I thought the loose shape made it difficult to wear as a regular dress and it looked awkward whenever I tried to belt it. I recently rediscovered it while sorting through my closet, and cannot figure out why I haven’t been wearing it all summer. That loose, relaxed shape is everywhere. So I threw it on for our beach day.
Happy Monday and thank you for reading!
I just came back from a last minute beach vacation, so I know just what you mean. I had that same, "wait, Summer, don't go!" feeling so I had to squeeze in some time, too. I love rediscovering old closet items and repurposing them. This dress is a perfect cover up!

I have a few similar old J.Crew dresses in my closet, and like you, I've found they've made fantastic beach cover-ups! Classic shape, nice fabric, but loose enough to be comfy and old enough not to worry about getting them dirty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like Jones Beach! Beautiful photos! I love this dress as a cover-up! And your Chelsea Market tote is so charming :)

Perfect beach look. Comfy, casual and a punch of color. You look so cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm a true believer in, if you treat your clothing properly.... it will last longer than you ever intended it to. I have a few Jcrew pieces that have been sitting in my closet for about 6yrs. You've inspired me, time to bring them out before business casual ends at work.

A beach day sounds so nice, too bad the weather didn't cooperate! I love the coral on you, very pretty.
