Get On the Shopping Express

Ok, cheesy title, I will admit it, but I have to sing very surprising praises for a few pieces I've seen lately at Express. Yes, I'm serious, the same store that sounds like a club and feels like anyone over thirty probably shouldn't be in there - they have some great pieces for all ages at the moment.

I was only able to find one of them on their website, this silk pleated full skirt:
In stores there is a version that is black on top, with a purple stripe on the bottom - I love it, and it's on sale for $29.99. The grey/black one might still be full price, $59.99. I suggest going in and checking it out, if you like it check back to see if it goes on sale. This is a great style on a lot of different body types - it can camouflage big hips, or create hips if you have a 'boyish' body.

The other two items I am loving right now include their denim version of the editor pant which is their signature style of pants. They come in different colors and fabrics every season, now they have them in a really dark denim and they look great. Also, they have a dark high waisted jean which looks like a normal pair of jeans - meaning no funny pockets or streaks or washes, but a waist that is a couple inches higher than the other styles - and it looks awesome on. So if you had your eye on a more expensive brand but didn't really want to spend, go try these on.

Happy shopping!

That's Not Lingerie I'm Eyeing...

I generally don't look at Victoria's Secret catalogs, but I got one today that was all Spring clothes and I had to peek. I was pleasantly surprised, they had some great pieces that recreate a lot of the looks that I love, like this high waisted skirt for $59.50:

Or this tulip skirt for only $29.50:

It comes in black also, yippee!

There skirts are both great ways to build outfits like those coming down the runway just this week.

Happy shopping.

Bargain Fashion...

I went to Target tonight in order to buy cotton balls and shampoo and look what I found in addition:
I love this short sleeve jacket for Spring. In person it feels well made, and it's only $24.99. The colors are lovely and it fits well. I'm looking forward to wearing it with jeans and a long sleeved top when it's chilly, a tank under it when it's warm.

They also have this adorable white shirt for only $17.99:


I love the empire waist detail.

fun fun!

Spring/Summer Bag Under $20

I don't mean to always post about really expensive items, but I do tend to get excited about splurges, however Old Navy has some fun bags for spring, like this clutch:

This is only $19.50 and comes in a bunch of colors, although I like the pattern to liven up any outfit, including just a denim pencil skirt, tank top and flat sandals - add this bag and a great pair of earrings and you are ready to go.

I wouldn't want to pay a lot for a summer clutch anyway because it gets dirty, or goes out of style - this way after a full season of wear you won't feel bad if you don't use it anymore or if the fabric is stained. This is one of the ways I think its totally OK to go cheap(and still chic)!
