Okay, so this haul is a tiny bit collective. I decided it was time to take a bit out of savings and treat myself to some new threads. Post breakup retail therapy sessions are really totally and completely necessary!
Here we go!!!
The first stop was the obvious one, American Eagle. I work there so why not reap the benefits of their employee discount and promotions…. the prices I list do not reflect my employee discount
I got this adorable turquoise bikini top, which has awesome back detailing, and I went with a printed bottom. It was 60 off the clearence price $8 top, $6 bottom.
I had been eyeing this light weight summer plaid for a minute now, I think this is perfect to pair with jean shorts and sandals it is so laid back. It is $24
I love this ladder back trapeze tank top, it is flowy and shows some skin, I will probably wear it with a lacy black bandeau to add detail. It is $19.95
I think this cut out hibiscus printed dress is such a stand out item in American Eagle, it looks so cute on and it is a go to dress for going out to eat, or walking around downtown. It is $24.99
These black and white printed midi shorts, with a 4 inch inseam are a little more modest than high rise shorts, but still so cute!! It is $29.99
I grabbed two basic tees, because honeslty I am one of those people who never wear basics. Each $7.99
Okay, so this acid washed pink plaid shirt isn’t necessarily a summer staple but I love the colors, I will wear it on a chilly night with some skinny jeans or leggings. It is $49.95
The last thing I picked up were these crocheted sandals, I think these are very neutral and perfect to throw on. I only had dressy black sandals and it was not working out.
It is $29.95
Forever 21:
Another trapeze tank, but this one is wild! A super hyper pigmented paisley with bright pink straps! Hello summer.
It is $15.80 (not bad)
This is another ridiculously paisley item, I’m a sucker. It is a floor legnth maxi dress (that fits me) and it has a revealing cut out back. It really needs a good steaming as of current. Pretty pricey for forever 21, it was $27.90
This ivory maxi dress, with a lining going to right above the knee and see through lace to the ground is gorgeous. I wish the camera really picked up all the embroidered detailing. Also pricey for F21 it was $29.80
It was impossible to say no to these cotton sailor shorts, with a high rise these are the perfect flirty and nautical addition to any wardrobe. It was such a steal a $12.80
The last thing I picked up was a cotton fit and flare dress from the Not So Basic collection, it has a perfect silhouette and was $11.80. I so totally am getting more!!!
Victoria Secret
Another not necessarily summer item, I picked up this zippered pink sweatshirt in a minty blue, I love the black on blue and It is so cozy. It was $49.95 but it didn’t bite my wallet I had a gift card.
Guess what another cotton fit and flair, but this one takes the cake. I love the tropical print and the cross back cutout. This was reasonably priced for VS Pink at $32.95.
Pitaya
I had never been to Pitaya before it is a little boutique brand with reasonably priced clothing. I found this pretty baby on the sale rack. It has a high neck with Victorian lace detail, it is flowy but perfect to be tucked into high waisted pants. It was originally $32 but marked down to $18
The accessories at Pitaya were to die for, I have been a huge fan of coin jewlery and when I saw this rustic coin necklace that had a penny in it, I nearly fell over. It was $12
And maybe or maybe not do I have a Urban Outfitters order on its way…
Stay tuned and prepare for more outfit posts!
Much love,
