I don’t know about you, but the closets in my New York City apartment are nowhere near big enough to store both my out-of-season and in-season wardrobe at the same time. To combat this, I use a Tetris-like bin configuration that I’ll be the first to admit isn’t great. For starters, when a season starts early, it takes forever to switch over, and also, it tends to leave all of my stored-away pieces feeling musky and undesirable when I need them to instead excite me about the period of change ahead. I don’t want my system to take all of the blame, but it’s often the reason I go off in the shopping department whenever there’s a drastic shift in the year, such as the transition from winter to spring. I want my wardrobe to feel fresh, not dusty. And with sales like the one going on right now at J.Crew, I can have that without having to dry-clean every last non-winter item I already own.
From now until Thursday (yes, it’s a short one), J.Crew has marked down most of its site by 40%, making it impossible for me to resist introducing a touch of newness into my spring closet upon the imminent season switchover. And now that I’ve gone through every last sale item, let me tell you: It’s going to be more than a touch. From both day and night dresses to lightweight outerwear and designer-looking sandals and kitten heels, J.Crew’s limited-time sale is simply too tempting to resist. Scroll down to see which items I’m trusting to shake up my spring wardrobe this year.
