Now that the weather is starting to warm up just a tad in NYC, I can finally begin my quest for springtime essentials. This includes more crop tops, wedges, and, of course, dresses. From floral maxi styles to mini dresses that you can throw on when you have nothing to wear, the native Californian in me loves to rock them all. And if you’re like me and want to zhuzh up your warm warm-weather closet, J.Crew is a goldmine for styles thanks to their massive spring savings event, dubbed The Big Spring Event.
From now through April 11, the retailer is offering 30 percent off on hundreds of its styles. This includes everything from their top-rated denim jackets and sneakers to shorts and tailored pants. But it’s the dresses and sandals that really caught my attention. In fact, some of the brand’s best-selling maxi and midi dresses (that go super well with sneakers, may I add), as well as other spring time essentials have been slashed by 50 percent. Yes, you read that correctly. For example, you can take home a casual, breathable (aka summer-ready) dress for less than $50, like this Broken-In Jersey Tiered Mini Dress that’s available for just $35.
With so many versatile styles that are basically tailored for warm weather (and comfort) in mind, you’ll find it adding only one to cart. Just remember to use code SPRING at checkout to secure your discount. For some of the best dresses and sandals to swipe from the sale, we’ve curated the best of the best for you below to add to your spring must-have list.
