OOTD (Lofty pieces)

Hello everybody! I hope you had a great weekend. My mother in law arrived last Saturday from Paris just in time for Father's Day. We went to our favorite Mexican place on the UWS and then to the Flea Market. I didn't take a pic of my Father's Day outfit because it was very similar to one of my Easter outfits that you have already seen here, but with white shorts instead of the denim pencil skirt (however the poly H&M nautical top wasn't such a good choice yesterday because it was very hot, almost 100).

However I did take a pic of the outfit that I am wearing today. I am wearing Loft from head to toe (almost), for a change from JCrew. The tank is from last year but the knit skirt is a new purchase. I had been eyeing it but as a rule I never buy full price at the Loft. There is always a coupon or a price reduction around the corner and when I miss out I generally survive ;-).
The skirt was reduced to $34.50 from $39.50 but because they were having one of their 40% off sales weekends I ended up paying $20, which is about the price that I was willing to pay. I like the shape and that it's not very short as my other (JCrew) skirts. It's the perfect skirt to wear to the playground or the beach and I am in full summer mode!





I also went to the Gap, where they were running a similar 25% off sales promo. They had great stuff. I bought a little cardigan very similar in concept to the Jcrew moto torque but not as heavy:





Actually I was more interested in the other color that it comes in (a charcoal) as I already have a couple of khaki cardigans but I thought that I can exchange it later for the same price (it was $28 with the the 25% off) if I find one (on Sunday evening the store was a complete mess).

Among the new arrivals they had yet another striped tee that I highly reccomend if you are not all striped out yet. It is very cute (especially on skinny jeans) and comes in navy and white. And it's only $19.50 (full price). I love the Gap!



It is not often that we have family here and it is like being on vacation for me. My daughter and my MIL are best buddies already (they are playing dominoes together right now) and you bet that I'm going to take advantage of it!

Have a great week!

  2. Okay, love the ATL tank in this post, too bad it's last year:( super cute skirt, what deal you got! Perfect for summer outfits, and the Gap purchases are fantastic----I always love seeing what you find at the Gap. I am loving the striped tee---is it online, too, or only in store? What a great tee for that price. Must run to the Gap quickly!! Thank you!

  3. I agree about Gap, found some great stuff online for me and kiddos last week!

    I'm laughing because I see your stroller in the background of the pic filled with a purse and shopping bags... that's what mine always looks like, too! I don't remember what I did before having a stroller to throw all my crap on!
