Bargain Styling

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 .

I bought that 2-piece halter top tankini and boy shorts combo at Wal-Mart last week for the Memorial Weekend. I love the embellished gold tones of the top and the front lining waist band on the boy shorts. I didn’t wear my backless brown tankini coz I thought it was too sexy for the event. Fitting into a 2-piece suit was my goal after I had my baby August of last year. I finally got to fit in one. Albeit it’s a tankini and not the skimpy 2-piece bikini I’m still working on, it’s still a 2-piece nonetheless . I picked a tankini/boy shorts combo because as much as I am proud of myself for losing weight, I’m not confident enough yet to let my stretch marks show. One day I will but not right now. Tankini is a great option if you’re feeling the same way I do. By the way, this new suit is $22.76 .

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

I said, in a few days but I couldn’t help myself when I clicked the dress category that is waiting for me at 15dollarstore.com. And Boy did I find some gorgeous ones. I just had to continue my online retail therapy.

White dress during the Summer is an item everyone should have. If you find one with a floral embroidery graphic detail on it, well, you just hit the jackpot. I mean look at this dress. *SIGH*

I’m still in a retail therapy mood. Online that is. But trust me, I am waiting patiently for the Memorial Sale that I know is going to happen this weekend at the Air Foce Base that we frequent during the weekends. Remember my $4 Ralph Lauren top? How about the $8 UNIONBAY pants? Just check out my Friday’s Bargains after reading this post to get an idea of the kind of deals that awaits me this weekend.

Anyway, here are more tops that is helping this ailing fashionista right now. Wait till you see how much they are and where I found them

After a very volatile and shocking day from watching The View, I had to do something to clear my aura, heh. I felt I needed to do some retail therapy. The one true tested cure for what ails every fashionista in the world. LOL. Hey, it’s better than eating a whole bundt of pound cake, right? Not that I do that anyway, i’m just saying. But since this Momma is broke, I had to do it in a way I wouldn’t regret at the end of the day. Online Window Shopping. Yes, the credit card is a few steps behind me but a Bargain Styler would always think first before buying something. Even if it’s actually on SALE.

I love printed blouses. I’ve been trying to slowly keep adding them in my wardrobe staples. The inception of different prints like florals, geometrics, dots, nature tones, and stripes these days are making me a happy styling Momma.

So what did I find for under $20?

How about this pin dot print with ruffles set? The color alone got me all excited. I love all the hues of blue so this torquoise bikini didn’t escape my eyes. The ruffles trim adds a playful site to this already sexy and naughty pair. It ties in the back for closure so as the neck part. While the scoop bottom ties in the sides. Sold separately, for $14.99 each.

I’m still looking for another pair of swimwear for this Summer. While Wal-Mart is selling 2 piece-bikinis for less than $10 each, Target has a few up their sleeves as well. Here is one of my picks from the Xhilaration line. It’s a halter top and the bottom ties in the sides. I love the pink trim combined with the black. I am also digging the metallic cherry print on the other side of the top. Cute. FYI, the pieces are sold separately for $10.49 each.

By the way, the bikini comes in small, medium or large.

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

It seems dear ‘ol Tar-Jay went to the next level and turned OLD NAVY’s shortalls/dungarees into a………….. oh let me hold onto my excitement a little bit longer………………SKIRTALL.

OK, one last opine from me about these blasted things. I mean it’s probably OK for gardening or painting. Albeit it’ll never grace my wardrobe, I can understand other women wearing it for such purposes. For me, I’d rather not see it on grown up women wearing it while out grocery shopping or whatever errands you need to be doing. Or when you’re out of your house. But that’s just me.

Another note, if you cut the bottom part from the back, you could use it as an apron. Hardy Har Har!

Thanks Phisch for the heads up .

This Onyx tear drop chunky Filigree-Setting pendant necklace will surely give that bold touch to any outfit you are wearing. Be it a dress or a top that shows off your delicate and silky neck . It’s only $12.99 from Target.

I really love cross pendant long necklaces so this blue crystal cross pendant was a no brainer. Baroque-inspired goldtone necklace that has multiple chains and hues of blue for the crystals on the cross pendant. Blue is my favorite color . $19.99 from Target.

Oh I love this multi-charm briolette necklace with a gold leaf cross. The 4 strands of briolette beads gives that victorian look. Doesn’t it? I LOVE IT. $14.99 from Target. Not too shabby.
