It boggles my mind how I can have this love of nautical things when the closest water to me is the murky Mississippi River. I've always had an affinity for stripes and I just don't know why. I was so excited when one of the Lilly groups I'm in on Facebook shared this J. Crew dress with me. LOVE! I ordered it immediately and wore it yesterday to a nonprofit consulting meeting. I looked down and saw that the navy had bled into the white and it definitely didn't look like it was going to come out. On my way home, I stopped at Frontenac and the girls were nice enough to let me swap out of my dress in the store. Excellent customer service!
I also fell in love with these lovelies this week. Because everyone needs tug boat earrings right? I think they are just the right amount of quirk that I love about Kate Spade. Don't forget they are having their big secret sale right now! I didn't find anything I just needed to have, but there were lots of cute goodies!
