Ikat Maxi Dress

Quick post today to show-n-tell one of my many recent purchases that I mentioned in my last post.

I wanted this blue and white print maxi dress from Banana Republic the moment I saw but I could not bring myself to spend $98 for it.

($98, but currently sold out online)

A few days a came across a ikat print, blue and white maxi dress in Ross Dress for Less at a fifth of the price of the BR maxi but achieves the same look and feel in my opinion.

Yes, I'm Still Alive!

Yes, I am still alive! I apologize for being MIA for the past 3 months but I've been busy with grad school.

There have been lots of good sales and cheap (but cute) clothing finds that I've come across since my last post. I'll do my best to "show-n-tell" as many of my favorite, recently acquired items as I can in my next few posts. Yesterday I went to shop LOFT's 50% off clearance racks because I had a birthday reward voucher that would have allowed me an additional 15% off of my purchase! Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with my store's selection and found nothing that I wanted to buy. However I did spy a few newly arrived items that I will be keeping a close watch on for sale-clearance price... which I'm sure will not be for long. I've learned to NEVER pay full price for anything at the LOFT. Exercise a little patience and you can usually get the items you want for 30-50% off within a few weeks, either by a sale promotion or clearance mark-down.

I didn't have any luck at the LOFT but I did find a few cute and affordable things in Forever 21 to brighten up my wardrobe:
