On Tuesday I took advantage of some of these online sales and ordered a few items from Piperlime and Old Navy, which are already on their way!

From Piperlime, the Tinley Road Devine Bow Tank in Champagne, which I ended up paying $1.28 for since I had a $30 rewards (it’s regularly $39):

I’m going to give colored denim another chance (if you recall, I didn’t fare well earlier in the spring).  A few people I know swear by Old Navy’s Rockstar jeans;  at $34.50, with 35% off and Gapcard rewards, I couldn’t say no to at least trying out some colored pants at $22 each!  The reviews say the sizes are wonky and even vary depending on color!  One reviewer said she’s a size 4 usually and ended up having to buy a size 10.  Thus, I ordered my usual size 6 and just to be same I ordered size 8 and 10 too. Yeop, I ordered 6 pairs of these puppies!

I really wanted the honeycomb (which was out of all sizes on Tues; but of course Wednesday morning, after my order had already shipped, they’re back in stock); but I ended up ordering black and  Monaco Plum.  I’ll post pics and a review once they arrive.  I ordered them all in short, which according to the sizing chart is a 30” inseam.  Usually I’m a 30.5” inseam for pants to wear with flats, so I’m hoping these are going to work out okay…

If they do actually work out, I think I’m going to go a bit crazy and get the Tobiko Orange and Sea Salt, maybe even Green too.  But I think I’m getting my hopes up all together.

I also ordered this V-neck  jersey dress for a whopping $9 in navy and white (which is now sold out).  It has great reviews and I love the nautical and summer look of navy/white with gold accents.
