Item of the Day: J. Crew’s Gabby Dress

As I’ve mentioned in some previous posts, I’ve been searching lately for a summer wedding appropriate dress that can also get some wearage during the holiday season. And also, not black. Because the fact of the matter is, I have more than enough dresses (most of which are, yes, black), and yet…I want a new one.

I’m loving this J. Crew dress: it would look equally fab with my new Leifsdottir heels and lots of gold jewelry for summer, or with black tights and my fave Elizabeth and James blazer for winter. Plus, the structured shape looks really curve friendly, and even the asymmetrical ruffle detail at the bodice wouldn’t incite the “curvy girls shouldn’t wear ruffles” haters.

Currently available at $225.
