So, since I've been very busy with Senior Week and graduation, and as I am now currently a new (unemployed) graduate, I will be devoting more time to this blog. I think it's a good way to begin a Monday by having a shopping roundup of the week. So, without further ado, here is idlefindings' first shopping roundup!
This has been a bit of a slow shopping week, but the weekend certainly picked up. On Friday, I was lucky enough to pass by a huge sale at one of my favorite boutiques, and picked up a lot of great stuff on clearance. Here are my scores:
Super soft Velvet by Mark & Graham dolman linen sweater--size down on this one! While I usually like my sweaters larger, and would often go for a medium, I got this one in an extra small as the dolman sleeves provide lots of room.
Cute Prairie Underground racerback tank dress--I picked mine up in mint.
Classic, oh so comfy AG racerback cami. Now, listen guys, I know that these are sort of expensive, but if there's one thing I must stress, it's that they are worth it! I've never been able to find softer tees or tanks than AG, so I'm sure to always scour sales for them! I highly recommend splurging on one of AG's knits--they'll last forever and you won't regret it.
After looking around there, I stopped in Urban Outfitters quickly because it's usually a safe bet that there's at least one thing on sale there that will catch my eye. This time, there were two:
I'll admit it--I have an obsession with chambray and denim shirts, and it's getting out of control. So, when I saw this polka dot denim shirt AND it was on sale, I couldn't say no. I can't wait to throw this over solid and printed dresses alike instead of a cardigan this summer for an edgier, yet still playful look.
After trying on this dress at least four times, my sister finally convinced me to get it. I've yet to wear it, and was a bit worried about the length as I'm not usually a maxi person (but I'm trying to be!), but I'll be sure to post some OOTDs once I finally do. This dress is much prettier in person, and the picture does not do it justice.
Don't you just love when there's a bit of serendipity involved in your shopping? Yesterday, I spent most of the day searching Amazon.com for a pair of shoes to spend with the gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket. While I ultimately ended up ordering these (beside the point, really, but this is a post all about my recent purchases, so I feel obliged to include)...
...I was really lusting over a pair of Soludos espadrilles. In the end, I decided the sandals would probably get more wear (and survive in the rain). However, on a trip to the outlets with my dad, I stopped in Gap's factory store quickly and found a pair of their white espadrilles on sale for $10!
I couldn't find a picture online, but they're just like the Soludos pair, and much cheaper! I highly suggest checking out your local Gap Factory stores as they had many different colors and prints.
While at Gap, I also picked up a plaid men's button down perfect for summer (and the fourth of July). Couldn't find an exact picture, but here's one very close to mine:
I love the baggy, oversized feel of men's shirts and have found that an extra small in men's usually equates to the fit of a medium in women's. This will look great tucked into flowy skirts or tied at the bottom and paired with denim cutoffs!
