why the obsession:

Who’s ready for summer vacation???! I know I am, and have been on vacation to Florida to visit family. As with any vacation, I’m sad to see it end so soon, vacations are never long enough. In any case, this vacation was full of eating, beaching, and of course, some shopping! Since I usually buy most things online these days, it was a change of pace to go outlet shopping. In our recent trip to Ellenton, we stopped in to a J. Crew Factory store and scored some awesome deals, everything in the store was an extra 50% off. One of my favorite purchases was this J. Crew drawstring tunic, along with a necklace and bracelet bauble. White and navy stripes with pops of neon yellow? A classic summer combination…

I’ve been reading that J. Crew factory pieces are not up-to-par with regular J. Crew, but I guess time will tell. In any case, the tunic was really comfortable, and is the perfect beach and post-beach cover-up. The rope detail is really cute and I also love how it adds in shape to the tunic dress. But, my favorite part has to be the price – $36.26 after 50% off. Who doesn’t love a great summer sale?
