I found one of these floating around a rack all by itself at my local J.Crew and picked it up (it happened to be in lime green and 7 dollars, how could I say no?) I’ve dressed it up for a bridal shower with this necklace and this cardigan in navy with silver Jack Rogers. […]

Made in part from eco-friendly modal, this comfy, versatile dress can be worn as a halter or strapless.
