SHOP NOW: Lovely Polka Dots from LOFT!

Posted on by

When thinking about holiday weekends & dressing in a theme, I try to find items that I already have & normally wear , so as to avoid a single specific holiday-only piece that I only break out once a year. For Independence Day, rather than donning an obviously flag shirt or branded tee from a store, I chose to feature a favorite pattern of mine in a way that can celebrate the holiday, summer season, & still appear stylish. Polka dots are always a great idea! They’re timeless & stylish for a variety of occasions, especially this July weekend!

However, with the below picks from LOFT, be sure to check the web (& website) for coupon codes for this holiday weekend to get an even better deal on sale price items.

Specifically, navy polka dots & ruffles scream summer, especially when paired with white linen shorts, denim cut-offs, or ankle pants.

SHOP: Zoo Dot Flutter Peplum Top in navy @LOFT (on sale: $44.99, available in sizes XS-XL).

Consider coordinating a flowy short skirt with a bold tee, in red or magenta, to contrast the classic polka dot vibe. Don’t forget the espadrilles too!

SHOP: Dotted Godet Skirt in navy @LOFT (on sale: $59.99, available in sizes XS-XL).

Lastly, a pair of wide leg pants is a must-have for summer, especially on the cooler nights. Try these with a button-down for brunch & then crochet sweater & tank for a family dinner with beads & bangles.

SHOP: Fluid Wide Leg Pants in navy @LOFT (on sale: $59.99, available in sizes XXS-XL).

This is the perfect time of year for the best sales.  The 4th of July week is saturated with big in-store & online sales, including 30%-50% off deals @Tilly’s.  I normally don’t shop at this store, but considering the markdowns that I found while clicking through their sale items, I knew I had to bring back The Stylish Five.  Who doesn’t love affordable styles, especially when it comes to tanks, tops, skirts, leggings, & rompers- essentials for the season. 

Some of the best buys from Tilly’s include the solid body con skirt ($4.97), chiffon kimono women’s wrap ($7.97), animal women’s tank ($9.97), double strap women’s romper ($11.97), & women’s ankle leggings ($4.97). These pieces can be mixed & matched with several wardrobe staples, such as a knotted button-down, denim cut-offs, cropped jeans, strappy platforms, & ankle boots.  Happy Styling!

Quickie Darling Deal & Steal: Start Layering With Sale Tops From ESPRIT!

Posted on by

Since the weather is changing (at least here in New York it is!), it’s time to start swapping out some of the pieces in your closet for heaviers once, but what’s so great about now is that you can mix & match your tops & tanks to layer them!  I recently checked out the sale section on ESPRIT & so many tops on sale & the ones that I’ve selected are all under $30.00.  Now, before you say that $30.00 is too much for a sale top, just hear me out!  A tee shirt or a basic tank is something that you will always need.  Whether you wanna rock your new bomber jacket or break out your boyfriend blazer & skinny jeans for a night out with the girls, tops like these are the pieces that build those outfits.

Take your favorite button down shirt & throw a tee over with a fancy brooch, or try once of these tanks under your favorite cardigan with a bubble skirt! The brighter shades are perfect for that pop of color for underneath, heavy sweaters, or use the pastel ones to soften a look with heavy sweater tights & knee boots!

In a wide variety of colors, from your basic neutrals to brighter, bolder shades, there’s plenty to choose from.  Don’t think for a minute that there are only solids on this site b/c as you can see, I have a striped top, but there are also plenty of floral & graphic print tops to choose from too!  If you scroll your mouse over the image below, you can see all the names, colors, & prices of the tops to decide for yourself.

While you’re on the site, be sure to check out their new fall knits, denim, jackets, dresses, & accessories! If you sign up to receive emails from the site, you’ll hear about all the latest sales, including the occasional 40% off storewide sale, which is not something you wanna pass up! Not to mention that the store offers FREE SHIPPING & FREE RETURNS on any order $30 & up, another great reason to keep this site among your favorites!  Happy Styling!
