The Perfect [Navy] Dress

I've worn this pleated flare dress from J.Crew so many times since I purchased it about a month ago--- which tells me right off the bat that it's a great buy. You really can't go wrong with a simple, classic-shaped navy blue dress.

I wore it for the first time at Harper's birthday party and many times since then, including to my friend's rehearsal dinner, a night out with friends, to work, etc.

Today I wore it paired with a navy blazer (not shown). I think I need more dresses with this bell-shaped skirt!

dress-  j.crew (on sale + get an extra 40% off using code "SHOPMORE")  |  shoes- gap (almost identical for $34, also like these Steve Maddens and these on sale at ASOS)  |  necklace- stella & dot, ? (this one is GORGEOUS! and I also love this BR one)

Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!
