What I Bought at the J.Crew Sale

I cleaned out my closet this week of everything that doesn’t fit, and I don’t want to talk about it. But it did give me the opportunity to do some soul searching about what pieces would augment what I already have without breaking the bank.

Luckily, J.Crew is hosting a spring sale event. The retailer is offering 40% off site-wide until 4/21, and 50%off shorts & tees. Plus, starting 4/18, shop 50% off select swim styles. Here are the handful of things that I bought, and how I intend to wear them with pieces I already have.

I don’t usually choose sleeveless dresses, but this fitted shirtdress was so chic and under-$100, I couldn’t resist. I plan to wear it to work underneath a collarless sweater jacket. I also plan to wear it on the weekends with a slim sneaker.

This Irish linen shirt has a great cut, with a sleeve that gives some arm coverage but is still breezy. The shirt comes in eight colors. I bought the dark chocolate because it’ll look elegant with a pair of white or black pants. It’ll also tuck into a denim short.

This raffia clutch with leather trim is the perfect thing to replace the cork clutch that I have carried on every summer vacation and to every casual wedding since 2008. It’s just as fantastic in person as the photos. It’s fantastic.

This rib short sleeve t-shirt and the matching cardigan will pair well with the black shorts I already own. I also plan to wear the cardigan buttoned up under my black blazer. I’ll also tuck the tee into a black pleated midi skirt.
