Unless I really really love something I usually wait until Tory Burch holds one of their “buy-more-save-more” events to purchase what I want. Today starts their Spring Event, and you can get up to 30% off with SPRING.

My picks are a mix of new arrivals and some I’ve tried on that are now on sale. A good pair of white jeans should always be in your closet and I replaced my old pair last year with the Cropped Skinny Jean. The Dani Dress looks so crisp and clean but I don’t really have anywhere to wear it in my current life.
As you can see tops are the bulk of my picks this time. I like the big checks of the Poplin Relaxed Tunic but the arms may be cut a little skinny. I tried the Olympia Tee on back in January and chose the Lou Tee instead. I have worn that several times since I purchased it so it was the right choice at the time.

Of course, I love the Kerrington Tote and this new one in bright polka dots may need to be added to my closet. There’s also a Mini version with a zipper pouch in the center.
I plan on going to the store this evening to try some items on and then make a final decision. Do you have any favorites you are considering from Tory Burch during this sale?

J Crew currently has a 25% off promo using SALELOVE. Below are not only my picks but what I have in my closet.

My two favorite items are the Indigo Guaze Popover and the Slim Cargo Pant. I sized down to a 4 in the pants and also own them in blue. I’ve worn both items together here. I bought the Crepe Maxi Skirt in Ruby and will feature that this week.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
I’ll have a Shoes-day post this week featuring the Cece Metallic Ballet Flat.

Wow! It looks like a lot of the January roll-out has been added to sale, including my favorite skinny pants, the Slim Cargo Pant. I wore them the other night for a short Happy Hour and dinner with Husband he said I looked great in them! I hadn’t washed them yet and they were pretty baggy on me. I re-ordered the Grey, but in a size 4, as well as the Navy. These were not marked Final Sale on my order so they could be returned if the dressing room size 4 fit was a fluke.

I have been desperately waiting for the Cashmere Sweatpants to go on sale. I have worn my Grey pants all Winter and ordered them in Heather Acorn this time. Of course, had I paid attention, I would have noticed the Heather Mineral. How pretty are those?

I returned the Sleeveless Beaded Zip Top and have no urge to purchase it on sale. I just couldn’t get past the zippers on the side, knowing that trend is fading fast. It’s a shame because I really loved the beaded front. I also ordered the Cece Ballet Flat in Metallic Silver. I have a few different styles of Silver/Metallic flats but the Ceces are always my go-to shoe.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

It also looks like most, if not all, of the Firework Floral items are now on sale.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

During the previous 25% off promo, I ordered the Crepe Maxi Dress in Ruby. I love the two Silk Crepe Maxidresses I have from last year, in Black and Brilliant Blueberry, especially when I found the perfect slip for them. I also happened to catch the Reese Pant in Graphic Peony on promo yesterday for $79.50 plus the % off so I ordered the Petite 8 to see if the length might be a little shorter. I really liked them, even with the lining. I keep thinking of wearing them with metallic shoes and a white linen top or chambray top. Bonus that they were not Final Sale.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

Are you going to shop this sale or wait for a further mark-downs?

Banana Republic had some New Arrivals yesterday and a few items caught my eye. The Convertible White Field Jacket in white looks so lovely but dangerous as well. I mean, it is white after all. It has a zip-out hood and a quilted lining. Perfect to keep you warm for those cool Spring days.

It would be nice if the Tweed Layered Pullover was shaped the way it looks in the picture. I would love to have something like this that was a little curvy and not boxy. I can’t find a shoulder seam in the pic so it’s either a really hidden drop-shoulder or no-shoulder seam. I like and will look to try this one on in-store.

I know I keep picking Midi Skirts, like the Dot Jacquard Midi Skirt, though I can’t wear them. I just want to see them on others so I share my favorites with you. 
What picks do you have from the BR March roll-out?

Madewell had their March roll-out this week. From what I’ve been told in the past, they have new arrivals a week after J Crew. I’ve been more interested in Madewell since we had a store open late last year. I try to at least walk-through when I stop at J Crew since it is right across the street.

I like the Medallion Print but have tried on a similar styled tee before from Madewell that fit awful. The arms were way too tight and sizing up only made the body even bigger. That won’t stop me from trying on the Silk Refined Tee in Medallion Print.

Can we get a YAY for wide-leg pants please? I have always loved them, especially when they are cropped so I’m really hoping the Highsmith Trousers work for me. I probably look really short in them but with heels I think they are fabulous.

The Shirred Maxi Dress looks so promising. I think because of the shirring and pleating I’ll be able to size to a Small. I like that the lining stops at the knee, though I’m not sure how sheer the white dress will look.

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js’; var cb = new Date().getTime(); p += ‘?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);
I have yet to add a pair of Madewell shoes to my closet but The Thea Sandal in Suede and the Vivian D’Orsay Loafer both look promising. 

What’s caught your eye in the Madewell March roll-out?
