Flashnews: Trina Turk for BR Shorts on Sale

I don't have a lot of time today but I wanted to post about this before the weekend kicks off. I popped into BR this morning since I had half an hour to kill before camp pick up and tried a few items from the Trina Turk collection. I had already took a peek at the Collection the other day but I had no time to try anything on. I was particularly interested in the shorts in the crazy botanical print that I am not sure if are a store-only item or sold-out immediately on the website (even the first day when the Collection launched they weren't available online, even if they caught my interest because the model is wearing them in the product page of the short-sleeved safari jacket). Anyway, I knew that these were selling fast because they are relatively affordable ($55) and the print is not as overwhelming as other prints from the collection and in fact when I went this morning they had only one pair left in a size 4. I grabbed them anyway because I am a solid 2 in BR bottoms and in general there isn't such a big difference between sizes in shorts.
In fact they fit quite nicely, even if they gap a bit in the waist and as you can see from these pics I took them home with me. I prefer them to be a tad big than too small and this print really screams summer vacation to me and I plan to take them to Italy in August (even if I will most likely stay in the city):




The print isn't matching at the seams, but I wasn't expecting it to anyway (I am just mentioning in case it is a dealbreaker for some of you):


So, the good news is that when I took them to the register they rang up at $33 instead of $55. I was surprised because they just came out and normally the collection is excluded from promotions, so I thought they had been misticketed but then when I looked at the receipt I saw that a code 40% off FP pants had been applied. I am telling you this because nothing in the store let me think that they were part of the promotion and my decision of buying them was independent from them being full-price or on sale but I wouldn't have hesitated a second if I had known. So if you are interested in these (probably also the solid version is marked down), I would run to your closest store and get them with this promo (that ends today).

I also tried the Pisces strapless dress because the print is very old school JCrew IMO but BR doesn't do strapless very well IMO and the 0 fit me perfectly but was cutting painfully trough my chest, and this without providing a lot of support. Maybe on super-sale.
Last, I tried the orange silk cowlneck top, which is more neon-y IRL than in the website pics and while I really liked the color and even the fit that highlights the collarbone and the shoulders, the fact that is super-sheer and with a slight racerback means that it is going to be a nightmare to find a bra to wear with it (also the color is kind of trendy so it is probably going to look a bit dated next year). In any case I tried the 0 and it fit perfectly.

That's it! Have you tried anything from the Trina Turk Collection? Have a nice weekend everyone!
