After doing prepwork to ensure that I’d have posts going up while I was in San Diego, wouldn’t you figure I’d end up taking some time away once I got back!? But, I’m back…and I’ll be back to commenting on your blogs as well!
But now it’s time for the next installment of my summer in shirts!
Here are the first three installments.
day 38: dress on the right, white with gray and black circles.
So, far I’ve only worn the white dress, but I had taken this picture of these two dresses the day I bought them (at Target, on sale for about $12.50 each…). Consider the black/flowered one a bonus pic!
days 39 and 40: black and white rose short-sleeved cardigan; black sweater with crochet detail at top
I love black and white and am always drawn to floral prints, so I love my cardigan. I wore it with a navy camisole.
days 41 and 42: light green sleeveless shirt with button/beading detail; basic black short-sleeved
days 43 and 44: two-toned blue tank top; black and white and red crossover tank
The one on the right has the empire waist effect, so it billows under the chest…I have several tops like this. I know they confuse people in general since the billowing makes it look like maybe the wearer is pregnant!
days 44 and 45: purple ruched top; green and white patterned top
I love the colors of these tops!
days 46 and 47: navy blue short sleeved top ; black and off-white safety pin top
I got the safety pin top at an H&M in England…they probably sold it here in the States too, but I decided the safety pins were punk rockish, so feel it is more appropriate to have gotten it in England.
What are your good (like $12.50 for a dress) bargain stories? Do you have any clothes that you feel *where* you bought them is part of the story?
welcome back to blogland, zo!
i really like #43, and the safety pins top!! i DID see it at the h & m here in town, too…glad you have it as a souvenir of your trip across the pond!
answer to QOTD: YES!! i always remember where i bought clothing. i esp have great memories of my marilyn monroe print tee that i got in florida two summers ago, and a couple of tshirts from kensington market in TO that i got as belated bday gifts from my bro/sil.
hope you have more instalments in this series!
I do indeed have more installments! I haven’t run out of “not yet worn” tops yet! And I may have gotten a few more at a sale the other week.
It is fun to have associations with your clothes like your mm top.
More amazing tops Zo! I have to admit I’ve gotten very lazy since I “retired” into being a SAHM. I don’t dress as nicely now. My favorite tops are my printed shelf-bra tops from JJill. They don’t have the prints anymore which bums me out!
Before I started doing these posts, I tended to pick the same couple of tops…so this has forced me to rewear and reconsider what’s in my drawer.
I love prints…I’d be bummed too…
