Though it’s early, I have slowly been trying to prepare for Fall and figuring out what I would like to add to my closet. Tory Burch, the new girl in my closet, has been very successful and popular this year so I’ve decided to add to that section.

I have been eyeing the Basil Skirt for a while now and I finally ordered it with the latest staggered promo. It’s currently on sale with all sizes available. I have visions of wearing this with my Cashmere Tees. Both the Henrietta and Denise Skirts have the same A-Line shape, though not the pleated front. The size 8 is a good fit and the length is just right on me. The length states 18 1/2 inches online so taller ladies may not like that. The Henrietta Skirt has a 22 1/2 inch length, which would hit just below the knee on me. There are so many beautiful colors to pull from in this skirt.

It was so hard to choose which item in the Floral Print I wanted but I settled on the Kelly Top and I am not disappointed. The background is gray and the peplum is very subtle. I ordered a size 8 and it just fits in the wool/silk blend. I would feel much more comfortable in a size 10 so I’ve sent this back for an exchange. It has a very long zipper in the back so there’s no struggling to take it off/on. 

The most wonderful detail of both the skirt and top is the lining. They are both lined in Silk! DaniBP!!! The skirt has a 100% silk lining while the top is a blend with Spandex in it. When I saw that lovely detail I knew I had some special pieces in my hands.
The Zandi Dress was not on my original wish list but it was available to try on when I was shopping a few weeks ago. I tried on a Medium and though the fit was good it seemed a little big, especially since I slipped it over my head without unzipping the side-zip. I would try a Small just to make sure it would still fit without being too tight. Of course, nothing a little Spanxing would fix. It’s also available in a Floral Print, which I love more than the dots. The jersey material is very comfortable, which is always a plus. Then length was below my knee so I’m hoping the Small will hit at or just below the knee. 
  
Lastly, I found my new White Jean. I LOVE my Cropped Skinny Jean in Rinse and was able to find the same pair in white. I bought a size 30 as I know they will shrink just a little. They are not as see through as some others I’ve tried and I know they’ll hold up to washing and wearing like my other pair.

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.
