For those taken with the ka-pow of colors on the London runways this season, or with Jazzi’s adept roundup of them, maybe you want to think about this:

J. Crew’s latest merino dress, on sale for $175.
We’re a little shocked to see it at the preppy chain store, since it looks a little bit like a graffiti child’s scribbles after ice cream cake, but it’s crazy and fun, and could be rocked very well with some simple tights and heels.
Weirdly, Anouck Lepere might look a bit too sweet to pull it off (she’s the model wearing it here), but the dress captures the vivid explosion of pattern and color that rushed through London Fashion Week. It’s not as expensive as those clothes will be, and you can have it now instead of in August / September.
Sounds like a good deal to us.
