Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

Don’t you hate it when you see something you want in a magazine or photo but when you see it IRL it might not be so great after all. So you pass on it and then think about it for the next few months regretting you didn’t buy it. That’s what happened to me and the Tie-Dye Wednesday skirt. IRL, it just didn’t strike me like I wanted it to. It sold out quickly and every time I saw it as a pop-back I regretted my decision to not buy it and wanted it even more. There it was, just taunting me. 
Thankfully, we have the JCA Exchange where I found my skirt but, again, didn’t ask about it or buy it. Then it showed up on ebay. Major sign, right? So I bid and eventually won the auction. Turns out it was a JCA (Thanks Carrie!) selling the skirt. Silly me, I should have asked.
So now I have no more regrets (at least about this skirt) and can move on to my next obsession. Not sure what that is but I’ll find something soon.
Tee: J Crew Twisted Slub
Skirt: J Crew Tie-Dye Wednesday Skirt
Shoes: Brass Tack Wedges – Anthropologie

Here’s what I wore Monday.

Blouse: Transposed Tulips Blouse (Anthro)
Shorts: J Crew Carson 
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Hola Thong Sandal
The colors of the blouse are so striking and vibrant.
Hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!

This is what you wear when it’s 100 degrees outside and you have no A/C in your car.

Tank: J Crew Favorite Fit
Shorts: J Crew Bermuda (2009) 

A necklace for some bling.
And Wonder Woman.
The boy is spending the weekend at his uncle’s and Husband went to a friend’s so I was all alone this afternoon/evening. So I headed to J Crew, which is at an outdoor mall. I just like to punish myself with all this heat.
Check your stores if you are interested in this skirt. I found it for $29.99 today, marked down from $59.99. And  my store still had the 30% off-Final Sale.

It does run small in the hips so I recommend sizing up.

I also bought these.

Twill Minnie Pant – Wild Blackberry $29.99 plus 30% off

Starfish Cinema Short – $19.99 plus 30% off
And, there was a size 14 in the Spots and Sparkles Cami, marked down again, to $9.99!!! And don’t forget the 30% off. It’s at the La Cantera Store in San Antonio if you are looking for it in that size.
And I bought this at Anthropologie with my birthday gift card.

Happy Shopping!

I mentioned in this post that I bought some items on sale and using a discount code from J Crew. They arrived yesterday and I’m pretty happy with my purchases.

Surf Tweed Charter Skirt – I have this in the Linen in the Light Citron color. I sized up and still love the fit. A little bit looser and lower on the hip, but not a whole lot. 

Coral Reef Tank in Ivory – I wish this had been available in the Olive Green when I bought this. I don’t really need another white cami. But, it is very pretty and will go with several skirts in my closet.

Not a tucker-inner…There are two dangle-y ribbons on the side. 

Torque Moto Cardigan in Navy – I really like this cardi. I can’t wear it now – I was sweating bullets just this morning when taking the pics – but I can’t wait until the first cool breeze.

Sequin Starland Tank in Neon Quartz – I wanted to really like this cami/tank. Sadly, the stupid side zipper won out. It can’t be tucked in at all, unless I wear some Spanx and tuck it into those. I had so many options for this tank. 🙁

Pretty
Yucky (right side) side zipper

So that one is going back. I’ll take it to the store and maybe they will have something I like. Other than the Silk Ripple Dress in Navy there’s nothing I really care for in the new arrivals (at full price, of course).

Here’s what I’m wearing today.

 
Shirt: J Crew Gingham in Purple 
Shorts: J Crew Bermuda (2009)
Shoes: Nada (It’s summer.)

Have a great day!!

Two days in a row is pretty good for me right now. I’ll be so glad when the weekend is here. I will be completely vegging out.

Here’s today’s outfit.

Blouse: Liberty of London for Target
Skirt: J Crew Indigo Skirt
Belt: J Crew Burnished Leather Belt
Shoes: Ann Marino (TJ Maxx)

Readers – I’ve been so busy I haven’t been very good about getting dressed for the day. I’ve been all about the shorts and tees. (But not Nike shorts. Those are for working out only.)

I’ve been waiting to wear this skirt since I purchased it and actually tried on this shirt with the skirt in the store. One of the make SA’s gave me the same color belt, but skinny, to try with it.

Tee: J Crew
Skirt: J Crew Wildcat Ombre Pencil Skirt
Belt: Forever 21
Shoes: Miss Sixty
The shirt is the Vintage Cotton Tee and is truly NEON PINK. It doesn’t really look that way in the pics but trust me. I was glowing without a black-light. I do like the belt with it and Husband actually liked the whole outfit, which is not normal. The only part I don’t really like are the shoes. I’m still on the hunt for some black sling-back heels of some kind.
Have a great day!
