Linen and Gold

JCrew Goldwyn Dress 2009

 I found a dress on ebay last month that I thought I'd share with you: the JCrew Goldwyn dress.
It is constructed of a natural linen with gold silk trim, I think it's so summery.
It has pockets.
You can see Gigi in this dress right here.  I think she looks amazing in it.
 The dress has this beautiful criss-cross back.  Look at the soft cotton lining.

 The skirt of the lining has a petticoat ruffle, such a pretty touch.  The inside hem is lined with a wide gold bias tape.  JCrew at one time excelled at these little dressmaker details.
I like the dress with my silver Chie Mihara sandals.  They have a gold buckle which sets off the iridescent sheen of the silver leather.

It's worth it to do a "pre-owned JCrew" search of ebay once in a while, these little treasures can be found and they are usually quite affordable.
Hope you are well and happy today.
