Friday Buy Day 8.21.15
The schizophrenia continues this Friday Buy Day as we straddle the sales of Summer with the delicious Fall offerings flooding the stores (and the internet). As always, we are bringing you what we want to buy right now...and everything is either on sale or is sold at a super reasonable price point.
Summer is not over yet...in fact it is just beginning for us San Franciscans. And, everyone knows how much we love a romper. At $84, this darling romper with 3/4 sleeves, a tassle-tie neck and bohemian print is a steal. Wear it with gladiator sandals to a backyard BBQ, or pack it on your next weekend getaway for a comfortable and stylish outfit.
Now, onto some transitional pieces that you can wear now, later and always. I am obsessed with this printed button down from the Gap. It has a subtle cactus print, a perfect chambray color and would look fantastic peeking out of the cropped cable knit sweater (look to the right). Finish off the outfit with the leopard d'Orsay flats and master the art of a perfect print mix. The cropped cable-knit sweater (and for those of you who are worried about the word "cropped", it is not really cropped...it hits at the hip) comes in cream and black and has rich, woven detail that is hard to see from the pic above. The sweater not only looks great layered over a button-down, it would also look great with skinny sweats and sneakers, or try it with a leather skirt and statement necklace. As for the shoes, wear them with everything. They ease they grunge factor of ripped jeans, feminize the masculinity of boyfriend jeans and look just as good with a skirt as they do with ankle-length pants. These three staples have endless uses, are all under $100 (seriously) and will never go out of style.
Okay, back to Summer with this darling printed dress. With a cut-out back and easy shape, this one is a crowd-pleaser. For a more transitional look, try it with low-heeled suede booties and a cropped leather jacket.
Seems a little random, but I found this brand of workout pants at Urban Outfitters and I love...like really love...them. They are sexy, flattering, wash well and priced well below your favorite Lululemons. And who can say no to another pair of black workout pants:)
Lastly, this ethereal dress from Rebecca Taylor. Cream lace, peasant sleeves, a flounce skirt and flattering neckline make this the perfect dress for day or night, work or play. For now, try it with studded gladiator sandals and a top-knot. In the Fall, pair this with booties and a wool fedora for an Isabel Marant inspired ensemble. This dress is feminine with a bohemian flair and will definitely find a place in my weekly line-up of go-to's.
Whether it's a new pair of workout pants or a new pair of leopard flats, we hope you found something (or a few things) to spice up your wardrobe. Have a great weekend!
