Here are a few shorts I tried on, two of which are now on Final Sale plus 40% off.

I took a size 8 in the Textured Stripe Short in Festival Orange. The orange is nice and bright and the fit is good. I have plenty of brightly colored shorts but a good sale price might have these make it to my closet.

I really love the Embroidered Cotton Gauze Short. Due to the elastic waistband, I tried on a size 6, which was perfect. If I didn’t already have the skirt in the same color I would have gotten these.

I really liked the Denim Short in Laser Dot. On the hanger they looked big so I grabbed a size 28. Though just a little tight at the hips I know they stretch during wear so the fit was good. These are currently $59.99 plus 40% off. I’m hoping my store will price match with the 50% off as they were not yet on sale Monday when I was there.

The Crab Top looks really cute styled with these shorts. It is currently $69.99, plus 40% off FS.

I grabbed the wrong size in the Scalloped Pocket Short in Polka Dot, currently in a size 6. It pulls tight across the hips so an 8 is a better choice. I like the polka dot more than the scallop detail at the pocket. Maybe the right size would make me change my mind. This is also $59.99 plus 40% off FS.

Enjoy your weekend!!

I have a few sleeveless top for review today. First up is the Embroidered Pom-Pom Tank, which is really cute though cut very boxy. I have on a 6 in Marine Salt and it was snug just below the underarms for me. Getting an 8 would solve that problem but would be even more voluminous in the body. A pass for me though I do love the strap detail on this. The dress looks to be identical to the tank, just with more length to make it a maxidress. I’m pretty sure it would fit exactly the same.

I grabbed the Embroidered Windowpane Top as it looked nice on the hanger. I loved it when I put it on though. I like that my shoulders have a little more coverage.  I have on a size 6 in Black and would stay with that option. Currently, the Pale Aloe is on sale + 40% off online.

I liked the Stripe Silk-Back Linen Tank immediately. I have on a Small in the Navy Stripe and that fit well. It looks odd in front since I have on a strapless bra but that is the size I would go with, wearing the correct bra. I love the gathered back and it looks cute with the Embroidered Cotton Gauze Shorts. This would be a great little top to wear for the Fourth of July.

 
Also, if you are interested in the Linen Chevron Maxidress in Black, it was on sale in my store for $99.99, plus 50% off. 
I ended up buying the size 6 and wore it with the Malta Mirror Metallic Sandals . I tried on the 37 but ended up with the 38 to accommodate my instep. If you are looking for a non-flip-flop option then these are great little sandals to just slip-on and go. 
Lastly, I received several gift cards for my birthday so I took a big bite out of the Final Sale today. Two items I was waiting on were the Linen Schoolboy Blazer in Dark Evergreen and the Puff-Sleeve Blazer in Black and Navy. They all came out to $71.99 each with the 40% off. Of course, 50% in-store would be better but my store either didn’t have them or weren’t on sale.

Happy Shopping!

I haven’t done a true Que Bella in over a month so here are a few things I’ve been wearing. I’ll be back to my Capsule Remix next week, when everyone leaves and my house is empty. You can always catch glimpses on my Instagram.

The Brandyce Tunic from Tory Burch is such a special piece. There are matching pants but I though that was a little too much. But Kiernan Shipka looks great in both. I found these pants at White House/Black Market. They are very flattering and I’m wearing a size 6 Short in them.

The Neon Papaya of the Fluted Skirt is VERY VERY NEON. But I noticed it matches the top part of the sun in this tee perfectly. I got it on final sale so no returning this one. Oh well, what’s a Summer tan if you can’t show it off with some neon.

Finally, this was for the first day of Orientation for The Boy. I love my Seville’s. I walked all over campus in them all day long, around 13 hours and was comfortable in them the whole time. I felt very put together but not overdressed in any way.

June is over and July is here! I was so busy last month ending with taking The Boy to orientation at his new College and my birthday on Monday. He is now a registered College Freshman and leaves in mid-August.

I spent most of my birthday shopping and having a lovely lunch at Mariposa, the restaurant at Neiman’s. I love going there for little special occasions. Of course I stopped at J Crew as I received some gift cards for my birthday.

This little top is from Anthropologie using my birthday discount. It’s by HD in Paris but I don’t know if it hasn’t made it online or already sold out and is the Swingpane Tank. I am wearing a Medium though most people have sized down, according to the SA. There are ties at the neck in the back to adjust it some. The neckline is a thin halter so a strapless bra is probably the best for this top. I love it and I received so many compliments on it. I paired it with white shorts from Banana Republic and my Valentino Lace Espadrilles from a few years ago.

There are some other fabulous ladies who also have birthdays this week. Both Gigi and Dina have birthdays today and Ema’s is later this week. We are a bunch of fabulous JCAs! Happy Birthday ladies!
