Not included is a greenish taupe sleeveless blouse from Ann Taylor I couldn't find it on line to add to finds and a pair of Clarks black leather flip flop sandals with silver dealing on the front.</p> <p>Have not worn much of it yet as the weather here in PA has been pretty cold and rainy .&nbsp;<br />Went to Miami for a weekend so I wore the white crops and denim top , both were very comfortable . Also wore the bright blue J Crew dress whilst I was there and same goes for that too.</p> <p>The Vince Camuto dress from Macys and the blue dress from Kohls have not arrived yet. The floral one is a contender for my daughters graduation from grad school being held at Radio City in NYC in a couple of weeks. Looks to be the same shape as the orange one I have but we shall see.</p> <p>I think that the denim dress and the J Crew one will be worn a lot as I am not planning on wearing shorts much this summer. I looked back at a few pictures and found that the longer shorts do nothing for me and the short ones are past my "sell by date " lol. My legs are not what they once were.</p> <p>The jeans were &nbsp;bought as I found that last years were all tight and the waists seemed too low. The blush ones from Ann Taylor were purchased yesterday they have a 60% off sale and a blouse and the jeans came to $38. They are a little long so I possibly need to be brave and hack the bottoms off them &nbsp;May need to be talked through it !<br />The rust dress from Ann Taylor is comfortable and looks nice with the scarf , also purchased yesterday in the 60% off sale. The scarf is very large more like a wrap and it will be good for going into places where the AC is blasting.<br />I think that I am pretty set and don't need anything else as I have quite a few tops that will go with everything and also &nbsp;other sandals that should work with the new items.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1654330 Tue, 03 May 2016 13:56:43 +0000 shedev 1654330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice finds AJ. I save finds to remind myself of the things I am considering. I love being able to compare things from different stores in one place. Here are most of my spring purchases. I think I have a couple things I got from a local boutique that I haven't added. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1654183 Tue, 03 May 2016 03:47:48 +0000 Anonymous 1654183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most of my spring refreshers are in Finds below. I also have the cropped jeans that I ripped the hems to make a ragged edge, a short sleeved sheer black pleated blouse, and pale blue cropped pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1654072 Mon, 02 May 2016 23:38:12 +0000 Aida 1654072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great refreshers AJ! Lots of blue and gray which is good since you look great in those shades. I also have that boxy LOFT tencel top, totally love it (hubby says it looks like I'm either a) working at a hospital or b) on my way to a cult meeting )</p> <p>Here's what I've purchased so far. Pretty obvious what I'm updating, heh. Hoping to add a couple casual dresses, a pair or two of pretty ankle-strap shoes, a denim skirt, and a few tailored pretty tops. Sadly so far all of the things I've tried in those categories haven't work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1654044 Mon, 02 May 2016 22:40:59 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1654044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your color palette, AJ. I will only admit to having gone a little shoe wild this spring. What I really should have purchased was a trench coat. &nbsp;And also, yeah on the stress-driven buying that Viva mentioned.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653869 Mon, 02 May 2016 17:50:09 +0000 ClaraT 1653869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love that anthro striped/embroidered tee. Adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653827 Mon, 02 May 2016 15:50:39 +0000 Bonnie 1653827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My spring purchases: I'm going to be visiting US cities on a spring vacation.<br />Shoes: I tried on many pairs of shoes but these stayed on my heel and were comfortable for walking long distances. (The Jambus were an alaskagirl recommendation.)<br />Pants: The Gap chinos fit well and wash and wear beautifully. The BR resin crops (an Angie pick) are trendy and also pass the wash and wear test.<br />Tops &amp; Jackets: All are from Anthro. I seemed to find a lot of things I loved there this spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653818 Mon, 02 May 2016 15:19:14 +0000 viva 1653818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a couple of really great Loft purchases here. I love the chambray shirt and the tunic, especially.</p> <p>I have been recording my purchases in Finds and I may do an overall review as a way to take a breath. I feel like I've purchased a lot but I have also returned a lot (some buying has been stress-driven!) so frankly I've lost sight of where I am. It's so nice to see your whole set like this. Your choices hang together so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653796 Mon, 02 May 2016 14:20:48 +0000 Angie 1653796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute, AJ. Nice to see you post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653648 Mon, 02 May 2016 05:31:12 +0000 catgirl 1653648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, so great to see a post from you. You always inspire me with your well thought out needs and choices, especially how they fit right into your real life and current wardrobe. Can't wait to see some pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653594 Mon, 02 May 2016 00:00:53 +0000 Anonymous 1653594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great purchases. &nbsp;I am especially jealous of the sweatshirt tunic. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-spring-purchases#post-1653590 Sun, 01 May 2016 23:51:06 +0000 AJ 1653590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So Angie's recent capsule post had me thinking about my purchases this year.  Luckily, I have FINDS to help me remember! ;)</p> <p>13 items (see Finds below) in 4 months is a little more than I usually buy for my short spring season, but most of these will still be very useful for my  L-O-N-G summer.</p> <p>All the shoes came from Nordstrom Rack.  The pointy toe flats are not the exact color of the dark beige that I purchased, but I will be on the lookout for the rose gold option.  They are very comfy!</p> <p>I was in desperate need for a fallback LBD for funerals, theater, or date night occasions and this black, ponte knit dress from JCP's after Christmas sale was exactly what I needed. (Pockets...SQUEE!)</p> <p>I wore the grey sweatshirt dress (it should be labeled as a tunic) many times with my black pleather leggings and black ankle boots.  One of my all time fave FFBO!</p> <p>The lilac skinny cords were great to add a bit of spring color on colder days.  The color works well with all my grey, black, and navy tops.</p> <p>The two long sleeves were OK. They fill a hole for light sleeved tops for spring, but I wasn't feeling FAB in them.  </p> <p>The striped top and two shorts are more recent purchases, and I haven't had a chance to wear them yet.  </p> <p>The floral tee and the chambray boxy top are from LOFT and they will get a ton of use this summer/fall.  </p> <p>Overall, I'm pretty happy with my purchases and most likely will add a couple more tops, a breezy skirt, and tomato red shorts to replace one that has seen better days.  </p> <p>Over to you: Have you been recording your spring purchases in FINDS?  Please review your purchases too. </p> <p>Happy Shopping! </p>
