If you're a size XS ...

... then this dress, in this color, is on sale for $49 at JCrew. (Click on the image to visit the webpage.)




If you're not an XS, this dress probably won't work for you, although it is also available in L (but only in black and 'bright poppy'). (But if you're not an XS, those pesky breasts might get in the way.) But if you're small on top/small all over, this dress is so incredibly cute. It's cotton-rayon. No pockets, of course, but I'm pretending I didn't see that. Worn with a different-colored tank top underneath, of course. I'd do turquoise, or yellow, and definitely add a chunky mid-length necklace.

There's this color, too, also for the XSs among us:



I have to admit to a love-hate relationship with JCrew. They have so much cute stuff, in so many gorgeous colors (even if they are called froofy names like 'fir' and 'aubergine') and nearly all of it seems geared toward that clenched-jaw Katherine Hepburn phenotype: tall, narrow, angular. Not surprising, given their prepster-chic stylings, but disappointing to those of us not nearly so jawbone-and-elbow-y. Sadly, I haven't bought anything from them in years that got more than a cursory wearing. Yet still I look!
