I can whole-heartedly claim that J. Crew is my favorite retailer, and my beloved collection of J. Crew catalogs dating back to the early 90s is a testament to my die-hard fan girl status. (But seriously, there's no better source for outfit inspo, pattern-mixing combos, and perfect preppy ensembles!) And they are currently have an incredible sale with an additional 50% off sale prices (use code BESTSALE), so you better believe I'm filling my cart. I've picked five or my favorite basics and five fun, splurge-worth pieces below!
1// Vintage Terry Pullover ($15.99) The softest, coziest sweatshirt you'll ever wear (and my sweatshirt collection has
three of them!). Perfect for cool summer nights by a campfire or lake and a timeless closet staple in navy & ivory stripe!
2//Gingham Chino Short ($33.50) A stretch chino short - because who wants shorts with no stretch, amiright??
This versatile gingham print has a 7" inseam and 10" rise that's a bit higher than J. Crew camp shorts of years past.
3//Vintage Love Crewneck Tee ($13.99) A soft, broken in graphic tee with a sentiment we all need right now!
Simple enough to pair with a floral skirt or gingham shorts, but perfect with basic denim too.
4//Saturday Sneakers w/ Gingham Detail ($41.50) A comfy pair of white leather sneakers is a must-have for any casual closet! These basics aren't too clunky and have a cushy insole that ensures comfortable wear
all day long, and the gingham heel adds a touch of preppy to any outfit!
5//Carryall Tote ($64.99) I've owned this tote for three years now and it just gets better with age! The size is perfect for all your essentials, but not so large you lose stuff in it's depths. A total steal for real leather and also comes in black!
1//Tiered Embroidered Ruffle-Sleeve Dress ($48.50) A simple cotton frock with the unmistakable J. Crew details (hello pink scallop sleeves, tiered midi skirt and perfect punch of persimmon). Would be equally cute with sneakers or sandals!
2//Floating Flowers Earrings ($17.99) If you aren't a bold color kind of person, this is the perfect way to a pop of sunshine to your outfit! These chandelier floral earrings are lightweight and so pretty
(and they also come in a soft pink version!)
3//Ruffle Wrap Gingham Top ($27.49) I'm a basic tee kind of girl, but once a season, I try to add a fun, frilly top into the mix and this is my pick for summer. A fresh orange & pink gingham with just enough ruffles to dress up
a pair of denim shorts or white jeans!
4//Pleat Short in Ratti Floral ($34.99) When J. Crew does a fabric collab, they always do it right! I love the bold, bright Ratti patterns featured in many of their dresses, skirts and tops this season, but these shorts just scream SUMMER to me! With a crisp white button-down shirt and espadrilles?? C'mon!
5//Suede Espadrille Wedges ($48.50) These feminine wedges with the pretty ankle bows can dress up shorts, skirts, capri pants or dresses! Super great quality, comfy and well-made - pretty much a perfect summer sandal!
From basic staples to whimsical, fun finds this J. Crew sale has it all! What's in your cart? Do share!
