Field Scout Skirt

Don't you just love it when you score a great deal? It makes me so happy to get an expensive item for WAY cheaper than the original price. The Field Scout Skirt was one of those items for me. I was able to get this skirt for a whopping $19.95 when it hit second cuts...deal! I was so excited to get it and then wore it one time. That was about 6 months ago. Yesterday I decided to end the Field Scout drought and pulled it out to play in a new season.



Details:
-Field Scout Skirt-Anthropologie
-Perfect Striped Boatneck Tee-J Crew
-Looping Lanes Belt-Anthropologie
-Presta Wedge Sandals-Target
-Necklace-Forever 21
-Bracelet-Twisted Silver
-Earrings-can't see and can't remember!
-Ring-Forever 21

Before this look, I had never worn a striped shirt with a skirt before...I think I'll be doing it again soon though! I like the dressy casualness of the way it all looks together. An added bonus was that a skirt is so much cooler to wear than jeans in this heat. Can't go wrong with that!

So the sale...OH, the sale. What a great one! Quite a few things I have been stalking went on sale this morning and yes, I surely grabbed them up before they all sold out! Among the coveted items I scored were the Blazing Blouse, the Alstroemeria Tee and the Chevron Cardi. I threw a few more things in for good measure so we'll see what works out and what doesn't. On top of that I was able to get a price adjustment on some bracelets and my Ackee Skirt...down to just $29.95! Love me a great sale day! Did you end up getting anything? Did you think this sale was better than the Tag sale weeks? I sure did!

Well, I'm off to bed. We've got swimming lessons again in the morning! Hope you all have a great day!

  2. I love this skirt. I first saw it when it was on sale for $19.95 too, but the color scared me away. When I started seeing how bloggers were styling it, I kind of regretting not snatching up the skirt. Love the stripes!

  3. I really want to get a striped shirt (can you believe I don't really have one?)! I was cursing this trend all through this and last year, but now I'm sort of falling victim to it after seeing how cute it looks on bloggers. I definitely agree that skirts are the way to go in this heat. I couldn't imagine wearing jeans when it's 100 degrees outside with a heat index much higher!!

  5. I love the striped top tucked into a skirt! Perfect look for summer :) I had such fun shopping the sale yesterday... it's the first time I actually wanted to buy stuff on sale in a loooong time. I got the Gathered Hemlock dress, Alstroemeria top, Signal Flag shorts, Nostalgic Asterisks dress on a popback, and some earrings. Whew!

  10. Tara--thanks! I will! =)

    Jenn--I know what you mean. I ordered it never having seen it before and when I opened the box I was like "whoa...that's bright orange!" lol Now I like it though! =)

    Katie--get yourself some stripes girlie...you'll love them!

    Leah--thanks so much!

    Carly--Fun haul! I love good mail!! We can be twinners in our Alstroemeria tops! =)

    Meg--thanks! And yes, summer is definitely in full force here in Nor CA...we've been in the 100's the past few days!

    Carolyn--thanks! I did get the necklace recently...a few weeks ago actually. My friend actually went back to grab one just like it and they were all gone though, and I never found it online either. My friend did end up finding a similar one...it was two strands of beads instead of one but was the same color and just as cute! Hope that helps!

    JG--Thanks!

    spiffy--thanks so much! =)
