AW: My shopping date with DH (PIP heavy)...

I've lost a lot of weight in the past year and had nothing for Spring/Summer since I'm down about another couple of sizes from then unless the clothes were styles that were meant to be worn loose.  I can still wear a couple of things, but not much else.  I go out of town this weekend and the following to see friends and family.  We started at the Gap F&F sale where I got 2 striped tees one in blue and another in pink, a light chambray shirt without a collar that has elastic at the waist, and a black and white color blocked shirt that looks a lot like Mila from PR's style.  None of these are on the web.  I also got:

and these crops in cherry bomb.

I love it all!  The crops are great and I can't wait to wear them with some super high wedges.  We go on vacation next month for my Birthday and I need stuff for everything from fine dining to hockey to bar hopping.  I also got 3 pairs of the Kohl's R&R jeans when they came out because they were 30% off + an additional 30% off with free shipping.  It's so nice to have stuff that fits again and an awesome DH!

  • Thanks!  We went through everything and I was down to one pair of jeans, some leggings, and almost nothing with short sleeves for warmer weather.  I had a couple of sundresses too, but we go out a lot and I wore them constantly last year.  Everything was winter or fall and we have so much going on these next few months with events that I had to do something.
  • Congrats on the weight loss! Nice purchases :)
  • Congrats on the weight loss! And great spree, I especially love the sweaters :0)
  • nice pics and i must say you looks awesome
  • So much stuff, that must have been so fun!  Congrats on the weight loss.

    Tell me more about these crops.  How tall are you? How cropped are they? I prefer the look of ankle pants, and I never go to Kohls, so do you think it's worth a trip to one to see these?
  • Thanks everyone!  It was a blast.  The sweaters are a really soft cotton and do not require a layer under them, which will make them perfect for Spring, Summer, and Fall.  You can't see through the weave at all and the necks don't show bra straps.  I wore one out with DH last night and was really comfortable.

    The crops have a 27 inch inseam which makes them less of a crop on me, but I liked them rolled a little twice when I tried them with the chunkier wedges that go up my ankles.  I usually do a 29 inch inseam for flats on a skinny jean to hit the top of the flat.  I'm only 5'4" so they hit just about the top of my ankle, but like I said I like the rolled look to make it more casual and show off my wedge collection.  The wash is really nice since they are a faded bright red and not so in your face.  They don't look as pink IRL as they do in the picture.  They are a very skinny pant and the denim is good quality.  It's not twill like a lot of the colored denim out there right now.  I would say they are worth the trip if you are looking for a good cropped, colored denim.  With coupons and promos, they can be a great deal.  I was pleased with the denim in the R&R collection because it's good quality for the price and they seem better made than a pair of Levi's or other lower end jeans.  These seem to run a little slimmer, but I like that in cropped denim.

  • How fun!  You got some cute stuff!  I'm in a similar situation (lost some weight after having baby #2) and have been picking up some new stuff for the spring.   It's fun, but expensive!

  • Thanks everyone!  I'm big on dresses in the summer and wear them out several times a week.  It's been a long road, but I'm so excited to actually have a wardrobe again.
  • nice pics and collection of dresses is very nice
