Growing up, I spent Summers with my Mom, brother, cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandpa and family members/family friends of ALLL generations up in Northern Maine and Canada. Those Summers are the origin of many of my best memories from that season, including eating *none other than* … lobster (!!!!!). Now that the Summers in Maine aren’t as frequent and look a bit different, my love for lobster-printed everything still reigns supreme. SO, knowing that every Summer J Crew Factory launches a brand-new lobster print, I cannot help but make a purchase (or two!) in that print year after year!

Over the weekend, my Dad, Step Mom, and I went to The Restaurant at Lighthouse Sound (I share more about my experiences there here!) which is my favorite dinner spot when I visit them in Delaware. I *of course* wore my J Crew Factory lobster dress in this year’s print. Funny enough, I wore my lobster dress from last year’s print made by J Crew Factory to dinner at The Restaurant at Lighthouse Sound during our family reunion. J Crew Factory has since become one of my FAVORITE places to shop and their annual lobster print (which I have purchased multiple items in that print since Summer 2023!) makes me even more excited to order pieces from there, too!
One of the things that I LOVE about J Crew Factory is their continuous sales on merchandise. Especially when an item is on clearance, J Crew Factory will add *even more* additional markdowns to it with a discount code. I have ALSO signed up for Rewards, since I shop there *a bit* too frequently and can earn free shipping and additional discounts from time to time, too. But, in the mean time, you can shop my dress in this year’s J Crew Factory lobster print here!
My love for lobsters definitely stems from my childhood Summers up in Maine. From our continuous family road trips up the Maine coasts and throughout New England, to the Summers spent at the Houlton, Maine lobster festival and scoring Friday afternoon doorbuster deals on lobster rolls at the local Houlton Farms Dairy, truly lobsters remind me of many lovely Summers spent up North! And, I LOVE that I can carry those many splendid Summer memories of mine into many more Summer memories to make and cherish during my mid-20’s and beyond.
Here’s to hopefully many more New England and specifically Maine Summers (something I hope to continue as a tradition into my adulthood with my family!) to come AND while sporting a lobster printed garment!
XOXO – Katie <3
