Look for Less

I have been eyeing these pink Sam Edelman bow slides all season, but didn't want to pay $90.00 for them. I was pleasantly surprised to find the exact pair at Target. Yay! Sam and Libby is Sam Edelman's brand that is sold at Target. I have found the Target brand to be just as comfortable and the quality is as great as the more expensive Sam Edelman brand. I'm pretty excited about this find, but just can't decide now if I want the pink or blue and white striped pair.

J.Crew had a dress and top in this rainbow stripe fabric last year and they were both ill fitting. BUT this year it has returned at the factory store in a skirt style that I already own and know will fit well! I can't wait to wear it! Indy readers: Did you know that a factory J.Crew store opened on the north side? It's in the same plaza at Nordstrom Rack on 82nd street. It's so much more convenient for me than traveling to the outlets in Edinburgh.

Lately, I've been obsessing over slides and mules. I love all the new styles. I really want this pink Sam Edelman bow pair.

I love that denim skirts are back in style and would love to have an embroidered one.

A few years ago I saw a blogger wear a trench coat style dress and I have been trying to find one. J.Crew just released this pink one in their new arrivals this week. I hope I can snag it on sale for work this summer. It comes in a khaki color as well, but the pink is very on trend.

I have never really liked wearing shorts. I much prefer dresses and skirts as they are more flattering on my legs, but as a mom I pretty much have to wear shorts in order to avoid wardrobe malfunctions. I usually wear the same cutoffs or navy chinos in the summer. This year I'm looking for a cuffed pair of jean shorts. I really love these high waisted distressed ones from JCrew! They are 40% off today, so I ordered 2 sizes to see how they fit. Here are some other options I'm looking at.
