I’ve been obsessed with J.Crew’s about town dress ever since I saw it on Vicky and poor thing has been helping me stalk the website but with no luck. I’ve wanted a nautical dress this whole Summer but haven’t found one that fits and is a decent price.
Luckily for blogs (or is it trouble?) because I saw this F21 tunic on Elle and went on the hunt for it the same night. (and broke my in-store shopping hiatus after 24 hrs.) It’s supposed to be a tunic but on a petite, the length is perfect!

The material sucks but the fit is great and for $9.50, who can really complain? I finally succumbed to getting this H & M cross body after seeing it on Jean. I needed a small, brown purse that I could beat on and not have to worry about damaging. It’s great for running errands and shopping hands-free and I don’t have to panic when I’m eating or in the fitting rooms.
This is a great casual date night outfit that is affordable and extremely comfortable. I have now satisfied my craving for a striped nautical dress. Even though it’s now Fall, it’s still super hot in CA so maybe I can sneak a few more outfits out of this one:)
beautiful outfit!! i love the blue and white stripes and it's perfect with the orange blazer. definitely a great dress at at $9.50, it wasn't that bad to break your shopping ban. 🙂
cute & little
Love this outfit!! Even if, like you say, the material isn't that great, the dress fits really well and seems super versatile. And you can't go wrong with a price tag of $9.50, honestly. I'm considering buying this myself – even though it is getting colder here in NY, it looks like the sort of dress you could very easily pair with tights and boots for a more autumn-appropriate look.
Oh I really love the color scheme, Annie! The shades of brown, navy, and orange go really well together. And the way you styled the F21 dress makes it look more than just $9.50 🙂 I'm still on a hunt for a chain link necklace like yours. The links are the perfect size and the gold tone is just right!
Love this outfit so much – tha nautical theme is so pretty on you) I love navy striped dresstunic with golden chain, and I also really like the combination of navy and orange. I've never tried it myself, but now I need to do this asap)

Thats awesome! will go perfect with tights and boots in fall and winter 🙂
These stripes are wonderful. And the price! Its just too perfect. The orange jacket adds a nice touch to the outfit.
lovely dress! the stripes look great and wow what a steal for that price! xoxo!
I love the whole outfit, especially the cute jacket !
I can't find one thing I don't like about this outfit! Can't ever go wrong with stripes in my book. You look fabulous, Annie!
Great dress at such a great price! I love the contrasting jacket. I love that purse too but haven't used it yet (don't know why). Did hubby take these pics?
You finally found your nautical dress! That's great, Annie. This one looks so nice in quality and what a great price.
@Canadianpetite it was exactly what I was looking for and the price is a bonus! Wish it was better quality so it will last longer 🙂 and I actually take all my photos now- indoor and outdoor! Hubs took pics for a few posts but its all me now:-)
Fantastic color combo and great way to dress up a tee dress!
I love the stripes, and the orange blazer is fab with this!
What a great find! I ended up following your link to the site and bought it – sadly the blue and cream has run out in the small so I bought the black and white instead. Can't wait to wear it!
Super cute dress, Annie! I am glad you found it. If I haven't bought the similar one from Express, I would run to F21 right now =). You did great taking outdoor pics.
Super colorful and lovely outfit. I love how you used these colors together, turned out really beautiful and vibrant. I LOVE f21.

@Lisa – respect the shoes Thanks Lisa! I like that it's a bit dressier than a regular t-shirt dress, the ruched sleeves are super cute:)
@Life On Planet Mum Great choice! I LOVE black and white stripes- I would get it too if I didn't have the b/w tunic from HM:) so happy you got it! And thanks for purchasing thru my link:)
