My Spring Wardrobe Needs a Refresh—29 J.Crew Sale Items I'm Trusting for the Job
I don't know about you, but the closets in my New York City apartment are nowhere near big enough to store both my out-of-season and in-season wardrobes at the same time. To combat this, I use a Tetris-like bin configuration that I'll be the first to admit isn't great. For starters, when a season starts early, it takes forever to switch over, and also, it tends to leave all of my stored-away pieces feeling musky and undesirable when I need them to instead excite me about the period of change ahead. I don't want my system to take all of the blame, but it's often the reason I go off in the shopping department whenever there's a drastic shift in the year, such as the transition from winter to spring. I want my wardrobe to feel fresh, not dusty. And with sales like the one going on right now at J.Crew, I can have that without having to dry-clean every last non-winter item I already own.
Among other deals, from now until April 8, J.Crew has marked down most sale styles by 25%, making it impossible for me to resist introducing a touch of newness into my spring closet upon the imminent season switchover. And now that I've gone through every last sale item, let me tell you: It's going to be more than a touch. From both day and night dresses to lightweight outerwear and designer-looking sandals and kitten heels, J.Crew's limited-time sale is simply too tempting to resist. Scroll down to see which items I'm trusting to shake up my spring wardrobe this year.
I have a weakness for simple string bikinis.
Shop the matching String Hipster Bikini Bottoms ($30).
Any excuse I can find to wear white linen, I'll take.
Just what I need: another pair of flats to add to my collection.
If you're a superfan of J.Crew's Lady Jacket, you'll love this dress version.
For a more elegant look, swap out your ribbed tanks for this silk one.
A touch of red can make any outfit feel special.
Denim maxi skirts went from trendy to timeless very quickly.
I'm in desperate need of a dressy heel that I can also pair with jeans and a blazer.
I'm smitten with the idea of wearing tailored suits with leather flip-flops lately.
I would still buy these if they were three times the price.
For the summer vacation I've yet to start planning.
Shop the matching '90s No-Tie String Bikini Bottom ($23).
