I had a fit of spending on clothes in the spring and promised I would take it easy for a while. And I did. Until this week. I DID need some summer staples and I did get some great deals again, so I’m happy with my purchases. And I’m done for now. Except Banana Republic Outlet is 50% off everything and I have an additional 20% off $100 coupon. It would be a sin to pass that up. (I just channeled my mother right there with that sentence). Anyhoo, I really love some of the things I got, so I thought it would be fun to share.
My first virtual stop was Old Navy. They are having an up to 50% off everything sale. Don’t mind if I do!
I got this y
ellow linen button down, but I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep it yet. The color is super bright, in a good way, but it is a little too big for me and the linen is a little scratchy. I’m wondering if I wash it and dry it if it will help? It might be a good experiment to try. Or, maybe I’ll ask someone at the store if it will get softer when I wash it, because I will be going back to return this:
Looks like your run of the mill white tee, right? It really just doesn’t fit me well and it has little embellishments on it that make it look a hint old ladyish. It’s going back. It is only $4.99, though. It might be better on a taller person, too. (I’m 5’2).
This shirt is adorable. It has a nice structure to it, but it’s very comfortable. It has a cute exposed zipper on the back and the shoulders have just a tiny bit of rouching on them that give it an extra dash of femininity. It was $12.00.
This is a great t-shirt. It’s light, comfy, not too low cut. Everything you want in a summer tee. And, it’s $6!
It’s taken me forever to get on the maxi dress bandwagon, mostly because I am short and a lot of stores aren’t carrying petites in stores. I took the plunge with this tulip hem dress and I am so beyond thrilled with it! It is a petite and the length is perfect on me. I think the tulip hem is a good option for short ladies because you don’t look completely swathed in fabric. And the straps are adjustable so you can be as covered as you choose. This was $29, a splurge for me, but totally worth it because I plan on wearing it ALL. THE. TIME.
This skirt hasn’t arrived yet, but I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I think it will be adorable with a chambray button down. This is $29 dollars now, but I got it for $22 the day I bought it.
Next stop was The Loft. This week they had a 50% off everything in store. I only grabbed one item, but it was so worth the trip to the store on my lunch break:
Ok, I don’t want to dis the model, but she’s not showing how flattering this skirt is. I got it in a petite and it’s just a bit above the tops of my feet, but the best part is that it is not super flowy and billowing. It hugs you in a very flattering way. It was $35 with the 50%, so another splurge, but worth every penny. Consider me firmly atop the maxi length bandwagon. Two years late.
How’s your summer wardrobe shaping up?
