With all the sales going on, I couldn’t help but sneak into the mall after work yesterday. Keep in mind, my local mall sucks. They don’t have any good stores except for Loft, BR and Gap. And the BR never has 00p and I have never walked out of Gap with a purchase since they don’t carry petites (what the heck is up w/that?). I was pleasantly surprised with all the tiny sizes at BR yesterday. I picked up this silk sheath dress for $30 after discounts in 00P without trying it on. Come to find out, it’s too low-cut for my conservative self so who knows if I can make it work.
I know I shouldn’t be buying any more lace anything but these had ruffles and lace! It’s on sale in stores with an additional 25% off sale items plus I had and additional 15% off which brought the total to only $17. I can’t decide which color to keep (grand central green or aran cream) so I will have my fellow readers scold me (about the lace) and help me decide. It fits fairly decent but we shall see. I can see it tucked in a pencil skirt and worn alone or with a cute blazer/jacket over it. Totally me right?
How could I not go into GAP when it was right across the hall? I had to see if I could find Gap white skinny jeans for $11.97 that Sydney posted about. Here is how a 00R fits on me. Clearly the length is way too long and there is a huge waist gap. But a little voice kept saying..but it’s only $11.97!!!

My twitter friends told me do not get it but I was very naughty and bought them anyway…I am going to try to fry them and see what happens. It’s a final sale so if all else fails, I can find them a new home:)
I also pre-ordered the Camille jacket in 00P but not sure if I will be keeping. It’s still pricey so it will all depend on if I really love it or not.
Hope you have a great weekend!!! It’s so deathly hot in CA that I will be staying in-doors! 🙂
It's definitely hard to pass on jeans that are so cheap! I don't blame you 😉
I love the lace ruffles! Cream is usually the best bet, but I would go for the green one for a change! 🙂 either one, you'll surely look good on it! Also love the white skinnies, yay! Hope to drop by Gap one of these days and hope find one at that same price! 🙂
Lol I was just kidding about too much lace 😉 The top looks different enough than your other lace items… but I wonder how it looks in real life?
I hope you get the white jeans to work for you!
@ourwiredlives.com Hahahah Thank you! I tried to set them down- I really did! 😀
@tinymum Thanks for the suggestion! I am going to try them both on and see which one I will get more wear out of 🙂 I am washing my jeans as I type this! Hehehe
@Cee Hi Cee! Every time I want to buy lace, I think of you and how I should put it down..LOL! You are right I do need to stop buying lace- I have enough to last me a lifetime:) The lace ruffle top actually is pretty cute in real life. I am going to pair it with a pencil skirt and see how it looks:) I am praying the jeans shrink enough!

It seems as if the Camille jacket has great fit, but not so sure I like that texture of black & white. I can only decide on the lace ruffle shirts on you.
Love the dress. I wonder if you can make the dress work with a lace trim camisole underneath. What discounts are there for BR? I wish I had stopped in there today! 🙁
@blackcaviarblog thanks so much! That's a great idea! I have an anthropologie lace slip that may work:) I'm going to try that tomorrow!
BR is having 30% online and 35% with gap/BR/on card online as well but in store- it's 25% additional off of sale items:)
excited to see your BR purchases in action and i will buy those white skinnies off you if you decide against 🙂 i can re-hem the bottoms easily and i'm way tubbier than you keke, so it might work!
@AubreyOhDang! Yeah I am curious about the fabric too. My local BR doesn't carry this so I can't wait to get it!
@Angie LMAO omg you are so funny Angie! Tubbier? I love that word! LOL You are lucky you can re-hem the bottoms easily! I didn't know you knew how to sew! I will keep you posted 😀
I hit BR and Gap too 🙂 I actually like the skinnies you got! Aside from the waist gap, they seem to fit your legs really well and that price is killer. Interested to see if you can shrink them.
i really like those white skinnies and they look really good after 1 cycle in the dryer! hopefully after some hemming they'll fit perfectly on you!
cute & little
Those skinny jeans are so hard to resist. The price is just too good!
