J. Crew: Simple Sassy Style

Summer weekends save our souls and can now save our pockets. Megan Guip, Design Director for J. Crew, admits to beach combing, grabbing sun (as well as trash on the beach to clean up the environment) whenever she can.

Call it research to beautify our surroundings since she creates some of the most popular bathing suits, worn on beaches throughout the country.

She tells MyCloset.com that ten pieces -- 2 suits, 2 flat sandals, 2 dresses, 1 sweater, 2 shoes, 1 bag – works for three to five days in any destination. And as you will find, this is a great time of year to purchase season ending bargains.
