From Pretty Dresses to Cute Bikinis: I'm Losing It Over These J.Crew Finds

You'll soon see I have a thing for dresses in the summer. They're just so easy to wear. Dress 'em up, or dress 'em down—they're always a good idea. 

The color! The material! The band in the middle! Perfection.

Give me all the maxi skirts.

This halter-neck style looks luxe. I recommend wearing it to a pool party whether or not it's in the Hamptons.

Of course, you need matching bottoms.

I'm picturing this with strappy sandals and a raffia handbag for a brunch date with friends.

When the temps start to drop in the evening, a bright pink sweater will keep you feeling warm and looking chic.

Or opt for a classic summer stripe.

I love anything poplin in the summer. The fabric is so lightweight and airy.

Okay, how fun is this?

Why, yes, it does have a matching skirt. Funny you should ask! 

Surprise, surprise! Another dress.

I'm absolutely loving the color of this cover-up. And the sheer detailing makes it look way more expensive than it is.

Don't head to the beach without this raffia hat.

Name a bag that's more fun. I'll wait.

How is this necklace only $35? I'll definitely be packing it on every summer vacation.

No summer wardrobe is complete without a good pair of sunnies, and this shape screams classic.

The perfect thong sandal to wear with all of the above dresses. Just saying.

While I love a good heel, I'm always a sucker for a flat sandal for daytime.

The cutest beach tote to carry around your summer reads.

Espadrilles on a sunny day? There's nothing better.
