I’ve wanted the Alice + Olivia Bali Beaded Collar Top since March and had hoped it would get more discounted but the smaller sizes have already sold out at merely 40% off.
Retailer: J. Crew Factory
Picks: I took a chance on the Factory Girls’ Printed Dress in Neon Persimmon. It is similar in design to the Crewcuts Canterbury Dress
that I love to bits (then worn to shreds) and while the poppy print
isn’t as striking as the retail version of the same print that Cee owns, I think I will wear this enough to justify the purchase.
This print is also available as a blouse, mini skirt, and scarf.

Retailer: Burberry
Discount: Summer Sale. Shop sale RTW, bags, shoes, and accessories. I have always adored the Belted Collar Wool Coat for its fairly timeless design.
I picked up the Burberry Brit Wool Twill Dress Coat
a few weeks ago and against my better judgment decided to keep it. I
have a soft spot for frock coats and this one stole my heart. It has
since gone on sale at Burberry retail stores (and online) and I consider
it a worthy purchase. The size 2 in this style fits like 00P J. Crew
coats.

Retailer: Forever 21
Picks: The Draped Georgette Top that I wore in the last post has been well loved and I continue to recommend it to everyone I know. There are a few similar options offered at Forever 21 that I am tempted to try: Plunging Neckline Top, Pleated Surplice Top, and Stripe Surplice Shirt.

Draped Georgette Top | size S |
The Essential 3/4 Sleeve Striped Top wasn’t a keeper for me. It’s a good value at $14.80 but I don’t like it enough to keep.

Discount: Red, White, and Blue Sale (many dresses are 50% off). Shop women’s, men’s, girls‘, boys’, todders’, and baby’s. This offer does not stack with the extra 20% off code GAPSALE.
The scorching heat outside has me pining for shorter dresses in breathable fabrics and my search has led me to mostly girls’ or junior’s styles. I ordered the Printed Halter Dress despite many reviews that mention its more tunic-like length as a cause for concern.

I almost always regret ordering from the children’s department but the attractive prices and potentially forgiving cuts drew me in. I also picked up the Chevron Tank Dress (available in five colors), the Striped Dress (six colors), and Chevron Shorts.
