Esprit use to be my favorite clothing company. My 6th and 7th grade first day of school photos feature me decked out in head to toe Esprit. Of course, I only was allowed Esprit clothes if they were on the 75% off rack at Dillard’s. One summer, right before school, we went to visit family in Dallas and we got to go to the giant Esprit outlet. I still drool over the thought of that outlet.

The clothes were bold, fun and trendy. Most of the time they had Esprit blazoned all over them but at 12 that was the point of my clothing choices. A couple of years ago, much to my delight, they opened a store in Manhattan. I anxiously awaited the funky, bright colors that permeated my middle school life and when it finally opened I made a point to go their as soon as possible. Imagine my disappointment when I went to the store and saw a sea of black pants and monochromatic shirts. What happened? My beloved clothing line was boring.

Today I find Esprit totally mundane. Occasionally, when I find my way into the store or on their website, I find a cute piece but it tends to be accessories. This week they are having a 20% off sale if you use coupon code Labor 07. Below is a cute bag and belt that I found in the sale section. At an additional 20% off they are a definitely a bargain.

By September 1st, two awesome Bargain Styling readers will each win a $34.99 outfit of your choice from OutFitKit.

Why You want This Prize: Each outfit comes complete with accessories including a bag and jewelry. You can choose any outfit on the site listed for $34.99. How many times do you get to choose your own prize! All outfits come straight from New York City.

The accessorybug, an indie shop, is offering Bargain Styling readers 10% off when you use code MSJ10.

Cute bags abound but some tend to be a little pricey. However, with the 10% off coupon and their flat rate of shipping of $5 you can get a cool bag without breaking the bank.

Here are a couple of my favorites.

Albeit it’s in the Sale section, Yes Bargain Styling shops at Macy’s . Like this Paisley-Print Wrap Dress from London Times. It used to be $99, it’s now selling for $28.99. Who would say no to that bargain? . This dress can be worn with any pair of black heels. I suggest a slingback. Where to wear it? Anywhere actually, well except when you’re doing your grocery shopping, heh. Church, Date Night, Party at the office, the possibilities are endless. During the Fall season, you can wear it with a black knee-high boots for that sophiisticated approach to the cold weather. So that $28.99 sale is worth the money.

I know you’ve all been dying to know what I managed to find myself this past Memorial Day sale. Let’s just say, I was a happy shopaholic. I shopped for the 4 of us. Great finds, great sale, great haulage. Woohoooo. Without further adieu, since I’ve made you wait long enough.

Blue L.E.I graphic tee with gathered ruched hem on the sides and puff-cap sleeves. Originally $17, after 75% off, I only paid $4.25

Another great find from the $15 store. Ahhhh, I love the dark cobalt blue color. That’s what initially drew me to this piece. See, my husband said I look really good in dark hues of blue, hence me falling in love with the navy blue polka dot wrap dress that I found from the same store last week. I’m still looking for a perfect pair of navy blue pumps that I can afford of course . Anyway, back to the dress. This strapless, bow front mesh dress is from Jonathan Martin. There’s is a smocking on top along the upper back so your boobs are very well protected . If you like this one, grab it ASAP coz it’s also among their “last call” list.

I found this SELE stretch short sleeves blazer at $15 Store. It’s among their “last call” list. I love the ruching sleeves and the black tones piping of the collar and the pockets. I always go for fitted blazers so this definitely a big Yes for me when I saw it. I just fell inlove with it right away. This could be worn with either jeans or a black trouser, with heels of couse .

GAP is getting rid of their Spring items by taking 75% off the original prices. NICE. If only I shop there a lot. Or if I shop there at all..LOL. I mostly go to the GAP Kids. For some reason, the sales clerk at the Kids department are more friendly. They greet people as they come in and very accomodating while you’re perusing the children’s clothings. While on the other side of the store are a bunch of snotty clerks who couldn’t be bothered to smile at anyone. They’re usually behind the counter gossiping about someone. This is my experience from the few GAP stores I’ve been to anyway. Maybe because I was pushing a stroller that they thought “OMG, she couldn’t possibly afford and wear GAP clothes”. Ah, the humanity.

Now that I gotten that off my system, let me show you the stuff I would buy from their 75% off Sale if I shop there.

First skirt is light blue geometric eyelet skirt. I love the flirtyness of it. If you’ve known me long enough, you know I adore eyelet designs. As much as I love polka-dots prints like the second skirt. It has a ruffle pleated trimmed waist with ribbon belt. The hem is tiered. Purrrrrty.

Of course when I saw this white tiered empire dress, I had to include it in my virtual shopping cart . You know I love white dresses, especially the eyelet ones. I couldn’t say no to the black eyelet empire dress either. The ruffled trim and scallopped hem weren’t too shabby either.

I might have a few more coming up from the GAP 75% OFF SALE. Virtual shopping is definitely more enjoyable than shopping at their store, heh. Except the Children’s section. I love them, just want to reiterate that part :).

How about you take advantage of their sale yourself. Do it virtually or at their store, your pick

The colors are vibrant. First one is Teal, 2nd is Daffodil yellow, the last one is Jetty Grey. The graphics certainly add cuteness to this summery tank top from American Eagle. The front AND back V necklines gives a sexy touch which I never say no to . Just a little bit, not too much, of course. For $14.95, Hey, bring on the humidity .

Any of these tank tops would look great with either jeans, shorts or skirts. BTW, there’s also a white version of that Daffodil one but I didn’t include it here since I was only going for the colors .

Retail price is $40 but was priced $32 at the PX(Air Force Base). After the 75% was taken out, I only paid $8. OH MY GAWD! I told my husband this UNIONBAY low-rise khaki jeans with olive green belt was meant for me. The 75% off sale was waiting for me. It was the last jeans and I found it buried among tops which had 25% off tags. It fit me like a glove. I LOVE IT. $8 for jeans, Helllooo??? AND, it’s Unionbay. Definily a Bargain Styling A-lister .

I’m doing a Men’s Graphic-On-One Side Tee series over at SheKnowsBest.com so I thought I’d do a women series here as well.

I found this Sugar and Rox eagle rose tee from FiveTone for only $4.95. It used to be $29.95. Nice eh? If they have it in medium size I’ll be all over it. So lucky for you small sizes, you can have it to yourself. Hmmph.

I love graphic tees. They’re perfect for regular days just with jeans, shorts or even skirts, like I did with this one.

I have more graphic tees to feature so keep coming back
