Memorial Day Weekend Sales

Here we go:

Banana Republic is 40% off with the code BRTake40 and the usual sale exclusions. I’ve been waiting for a reason to get this.

Gap is 35% off with the code EVENT. How are we living without this?

Ann Taylor is 50% off full price styles with the code Summer50. You should at least get this top.

Loft is 60% off “summer faves” (i.e. select styles) and sale plus 40% off new arrivals- no code needed. I’ll take this new arrival for breezy summer nights.

Anthro is an extra 30% off sale items- no code needed. I want this, and now it’s cheap!

JCrew is 30% off with the code WEEKEND. This is perfect for work.

JCrew Factory is 50% off, prices as marked. Get some shorts!

Boden is 30% off with the code 2Z7C. Love it!

Nordstrom’s Half Yearly sale is on! I think we need this.

Crate and Barrel is having a sale on outdoor furniture, and is 15% select full price items with the code SAVE15.

Pottery Barn is doing a buy more and save event with the code SAVEMORE.

West Elm, surprise, surprise, is doing the same sale as Pottery Barn with the code MEGASALE.

Meanwhile, since this is a patriotic weekend, if you want a laugh and you love the Marvel actors in the new Captain America movie, may I recommend watching some of their funny interviews from the press tour. Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan (with an emphasis on Sebastian Stan) are THE BEST. And PS- Hawkeye is hilarious. Ok I’m done now.

 

New Things at Lands’ End

Lands’ End likes to email me about every day to tell me about their sales and new things. I don’t buy too much from Lands’ End, but I like to keep an eye on it. Starting about a month ago they started hyping a new collection that was coming soon. It was a little mysterious because they gave no release date, and they just had a couple sample pictures of the new line.

Turns out they revamped and relaunched their Canvas line which is a slightly younger, more fashion forward line that they’ve had on and off for the last few years. It used to be more collegiate/preppy but they’re definitely rebranding. I don’t think it’s all quite my style but I was taken aback by some of the choices they made. There are fashionable jumpsuits, crop tops, and even open back dresses. It’s not the Lands’ End you used to know.

I love the fresh and simple silhouettes, the clean basics, and all the black and white options. I’m not so keen on the primary color, color scheme on several items, and the juvenile star print on several items. I’m hope the next round of color and prints are more up my ally. The price point seems to be higher than the standard Lands End stuff, and basically on par with the Ann Taylor’s of the world. I’m hoping these items aren’t restricted from the regular Lands’ End sales.

I think this model just has the one pose.

Word to the wise- I find Lands’ End clothing to run large, but I think this Canvas line is closer to the Bananas, Ann Taylors, and Anthros of the world, so don’t feel the need to size down if you usually do.

Color for Spring

The weather is being fickle here in DC but when I get dressed for work, I’m ready for spring colors. Every morning I’m continually amazed with the high percentage of black and navy items in my wardrobe. I am now on the lookout for some printed or colorful dresses for work.

This sheath from JCrew Factory is a great multi-tasker because you could wear it to work or events or casual weddings on the weekend.

I love this printed sheath from Boden because it has a unique geometric print but it’s not too loud for work. It’s definitely a fresh take on the standard sheath.

This Nic and Zoe dress is an instant easy outfit. I would pair it with a white or tan cardigan or blazer for work.

More flowers from Lands End. I think you pair it with a neutral blazer for work, and ditch the blazer for all those showers and brunches this spring and summer.

How easy is this? The Loft is perfect for an easy wardrobe pick me up. This one is very affordable, machine washable, and a full outfit- no cardigan required. Plus, it’s easy to spice up with a colorful shoe. Done.

Shirt dresses are very very in this year. I think this is a nice breezy Friday look for the spring and summer work weeks. This one is from Banana.

It’s not work appropriate, but the denim shirt dress is a must for weekend attire this year. How can you tell? Every. Single. Store. has about five versions of it.
