| J. Crew Long-Sleeve Tweed Dress with Fringe // Navy // 00P |
1. J. Crew’s Long-Sleeve Tweed Dress with Fringe has a fairly compelling premise: it’s the dress that will allow you to sleep in a little longer because of how effortless it is. The medium-weight tweed fabric transcends seasons; the long-sleeve design obviates the need for a jacket; and the fitted silhouette accentuates and flatters even the least dramatic of curves. I had blogged about the multicolored tweed version here, but wanted to show the dress in the “right” size. As I mentioned in the review, the style fits about a size smaller in the torso than comparable J. Crew sheath dresses.
1.5. The tweed dress pictured above, along with other sale styles, are an extra 40% off with code TUESDAY. My picks: A-Line Dress in Morning Floral, Tie-front Boy Shirt in Gingham, Boatneck T-shirt in Stripe, Colette D’orsay Pumps in Polka-Dot Denim, and Flutter-sleeve Dress in Eyelet.
