Outfit: James Perse Cami Dress

by grechen on July 26, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

So, after deciding on doing a “30 days of James Perse” challenge on Friday, I’ve decided not to do it right now for a few reasons:

  1. I’m too attached to my new Anthropologie skirt to NOT wear it for 30 days
  2. After segmenting out all the James Perse in my closet, I realized about half of the 55 items I have are long-sleeve or sweaters/cardigans I wouldn’t be caught DEAD in right now. Yes, I know this is supposed to be a challenge, but I think it would be more fun in the Fall/Winter when I can actually wear more of my James Perse pieces

But, in homage to my closet-full of James Perse I decided to grace you all with a picture of my FAVORITE item in my closet – that includes my ENTIRE closet. Really. It’s my cami dress, and I think it’s at least 7 years old? It’s one of my older James Perse pieces, but it has held up remarkably well (I wash in cold water and always dry on low heat). I don’t hang it anymore because I noticed the straps stretching a little, but on most days I’m wearing this dress for at least a few hours. I don’t wear it out much anymore because it’s a bit shorter than I like (you can see my knees!!! ack!!!) for normal wear, but I wear it constantly to walk the dog, and lounge around the house. This is the ONE thing I’d love to see James Perse do again – I’d buy one in every color. The fit is absolutely perfect, and the waistband hits exactly at my waist, it’s wide, and the skirt is only slightly a-line. PERFECTION. So, James Perse, if you’re reading, please bring back the cami dress. I know I’m not the only one who would stock up…

What I’m wearing:

James Perse cami dress
James Perse white tee
No6 Clogs
Alexander Wang Darcy bag

I’m normally not a fan of the t-shirt under tank top look, but you make it work here. Cute outfit! =)

That dress is super cute on you, and I actually like the shorter length. Longer-looking legs are always a plus!
