For a Valentine's Day present to myself, I picked up the J. Crew Blouson Dress in Stripe, and I have to say that I adore it -- and I can't wait for spring to come so I can wear it! The dress is a bit loose, as the "blouson" title implies...so size down if you want it more fitted, or buy it in your size if want to wear it a bit loose.  The dress is elasticized right at the smallest part of your waist, so if you pair it with a belt, it is super flattering, and covers up a tummy or thighs. The fabric is 100% silk, and it is quality silk -- it doesn't look cheap. I'm looking forward to styling it exactly like they have styled it in the first picture above, but you could literally style it any way you wish, and the stripes are right on trend.  I honestly would never have thought to style it with a leopard print belt as in the last picture, but I suppose it works. I think I'll go sans hat, though (a la picture number two).

And while I was at it, I should have picked up those bracelets...they are super-cute!
