We are heading to warmer weather for spring break and since I have packed on a few extra pounds this winter, I decided I better pick up a couple of new shorts. I am quite certain the ones from last summer will not be fitting (maybe once the weather warms up and we get back outside). I bought a bunch of new shorts last summer, so it is really a bummer that I find myself needing to purchase more. On the bright side I found some pairs I really loved last summer, so I headed back to those stores. I looked a little at the outlet mall when we were in Kansas City a couple of weekends ago. My favorite stores either did not yet have shorts or had very limited selection.
I ordered several pairs of shorts from Banana Republic Factory store last summer that were among my favorite. While at the outlet mall, I stopped by their store to try a few pairs on and determine my current size. I picked up these Factory Hampton-Fit Piqué Short in both colors.
I also tried these distressed boyfriend jeans on and loved them. Since I was embarking on my 40th birthday, I decided I better pass on the distressed look. They fit so great that I keep rethinking my decision.
Another favorite store of mine is Loft. I prefer to shop in store or even at their outlet rather than online, because of shipping costs both to purchase and return. This striped essential sweatshirt looks super comfy and would be a good transition piece into spring. It is currently an extra 50% of the sale price, so I might just need to bit the bullet and pay shipping.
I bought a couple pairs of shorts a Loft Outlet last summer that I wore a lot. They have a similar cotton twill riviera short online that I will be watching for a sale. They come in lots of fun colors like this turquoise as well as the basics (black, tan, and grey).
I have been on the hunt for a floral top and found a couple at Target that I plan to order. I love ordering online from Target. With $25 in purchase you receive free shipping. If something does not work out, it is easy to return to the store or request a prepaid return shipping label. I plan to order both women’s floral tops and decide which color combo I like best.
