What do we think about this JCrew dress?

Lilykind · Hermes

I was eyeing it myself earlier today. I think it's soooo adorable and would look great with you skin tone and coloring.

I'd wear it to work, but I've never worked anywhere with a super strict dress code. In CA, business casual apparently means no denim, tees, and flip flops, but anything else goes.

i totally want that dress. but i think it might be a tad too casual for the office, esp since there's no collar.

blubirde · Chanel

I'm not generally a JCrew shopper, so forgive me a sale question. Does their stuff ever go on sale? What's a sale like?

squishy · Coach

given enough time (~2-3 months?), their stuff goes on crazy sale. the only problem is that, as of late, a lot of their good stuff sells out

ETA: an item can be marked down between 20-70%, depending on how (un)popular it is

Collette · Chanel

I think it's really cute and work appropriate with the right shoes!

cat · Marc Jacobs

It is very cute and I think depending how you wear it I think it can be work appropriate.

atlgirl · Gucci

Cute as the dickens, and work appropriate...in the right office. It might be too casual for some offices.

alagirl · Kenneth Cole

Very cute and could be appropriate for work depending on your dress code.

Hedvig · Coach

I think it's adorable! It is pretty casual but I do think it's work appropriate as long as your office isn't very conservative.

J.Crew usually has good sales. I recently got a dress for $100, down from $265.

i love it! i saw it in the store the other day and now wish i would have tried it on....i think it would be great for work!!

shopgirl · Kenneth Cole

I am not digging it, especially for that price. From the picture it looks like a big tea towel.

jacks435 · Kenneth Cole

Aww... I really like it! So cute.

blubirde · Chanel

I think I'll go to the store this weekend and try it on to see for sure. My office is pretty business casual, so I think it will pass muster. I might try and wait out for a sale though. I'll have to check it out in person to decide...

avalon21 · BCBG

I think its cute!

Hermes

yes and yes.

jaymiek · Coach

I actually saw it in the store and it was really cute. I think it would depend what type of office you worked in, but I think it'd be ok for work.

Claudia · Gucci

I love it!

Eurodaisy · Dooney & Bourke

I like it... it's cute and looks flattering. You might try using a wide leather belt at the waist instead of the tie belt it comes with to make it more work-worthy. With a pair of slingbacks, it would look fab!
