J. Crew is running a 30% off sale (use code OHMYSALE at checkout; cardholders can take an extra 20% off with code CARDPERKS) on select full-price styles through Sunday (08/19/18), including the Belted Shirtdress, which was previously excluded from all promotions.
This dress encapsulates comfort dressing: the cut is somewhat relaxed, and the midweight, soft merino-wool blend has plenty of stretch. Fit-wise, it runs half a size larger than what I expected, so size down if you are between sizes and like a closer fit.
While this dress doesn’t photograph well (on me, specifically), in person it draws many compliments. And though the length is slightly awkward on a short person (midi-length on 5’2 me, and just below the knee on a taller person), you can undo some of the buttons to project a more casual vibe.
Here are my other picks for the sale:

In other sale news, everything is 40% off at Ann Taylor with code HELLONEW. I just ordered the Puff Sleeve Boatneck Sweater, Knit Twill Moto Jacket, and Crystal Triple Layer Necklace.
Here are a few more new arrivals that I have my eyes on:
Happy shopping!
