Outlet haul - ETA: Another pic

Otherwise known as UPS trauma therapy. Ok. Standard apologies - ignore background explosion of clothes. New stuff means purge, right?

#1 - A new sundress and first pair of new slip-ons, Steve Madden pony hair sneaks (pic #5). It's crazy suddenly hot today after a grey wintery work-week. Not for migraine sufferers. I am hoping the dress is suitable for Country Punk. Or at the least, gets me away from Put A Bird On It.

#2 - Two more pairs of slip-ons. I'm paranoid now, after my first pair wore out last year and I couldn't find any more until right now. So I went beserk and scarfed them left and right.

#3 - Two more dresses. The sunflower one on the right was $5 and, I feel, suitable for Country Punk. The one on the left was 80% off, Dries Van Noten. I feel like I scored there. I think it will be useful for the cold summer.

#4 - Some knitted lounge pants. I've been wanting a knitted pair since they debuted, what, years ago. I've put my little purple cotton sweats in the toss pile. Only thing is, I'm realising, I don't know that I have a good, warm lounge top to go with. I could use a soft cropped sweatshirt.

#5 - pony hair sneaks close-up

Ok! Back to purging.

Looking at #1 now, I'm wondering if it's too young looking. It's very comfy tho for the weather.

Based on what I can see in the picture, I don't think it is too young looking. I think it looks great. Perfect length. Nice color.

Country punk for the win! Love all of these, and no, #1 is not too young.

Good haul! I too tend to stick up on shoes when comfortable ones are trending. Show us the DVN dress styled sometime-- yay for sleeves.

These look great! Love the pony hair sneakers, and the others, too. Do you find it easy or difficult to fit this type of shoe? I've had a heck of a time. Have not found a pair that works for me yet. May give up.

You got Dries Van Noten at the outlet? That is a different outlet than the ones near me. I would love to see it on! I like the one you are wearing for a hot day, and also the sunflower one.

Knit pants look cozy. I like the subtle pattern.

Oh fun! Good idea to stock up on your favorite kind of shoes. I really like the dress with sleeves. Oh. It's a Dries Van Noten. How typical of me to pick the most expensive one of the lot (probably, even with the 80% off)! It's beautiful, and you might be able to wear it 3 seasons out of the year.

What an awesome haul! Particularly love all the sneakers.

Great haul!

LACeleste

Fantastic! Those sneakers are the best!

Gracie

The first dress looks perfect on you, not too young at all. More love for all your sneaker choices over here, nice haul.

White Sneaks. Caught red handed.

You nailed Quirky Country Waif. xo

Thanks guys. I'm glad y'all are approving.

Suz - I've found slip-ons a difficult shop. First, I'd thought there'd be loads in the shops and there was nada. Yesterday was the first time I saw any, and boy, the vast majority were painful just to put half a foot in. Rubbing seams, strange gaps, strange foot shapes. The whites are Vans, which I'd been avoiding because I was wanting something fashiony, but I thought I'd better just run with Vans while I was there.

Claire - I could see you in the Dries. Very classy. Almost too classy for me (hehe), but they grey gets in my zone.

The outlet mall is interesting. The places run by the big department stores are genuine outlets, not outposts. I got my first chance to touch a Stella McCartney something yesterday. Hehe. It was too big

Nice dresses--I'm glad you had a good time.

Marley

Yes - really like the dresses! I think the first one is age-appropriate - its got that high-low hem "thing" going, doesn't it? That puts it into 'current' territory as well. LOVE all of the slip-on sneakers! I've been eyeing the pony-haired Steve Maddons myself. Haven't gotten a chance to try them on though. I've also had a really hard time finding any that work for my feet. Usually they are way too wide in the heel - even though the rest of the shoe fits just fine.
I love the way you stuck it to Mr.UPS man by finding ALL of these fab items!

Nice haul, can't wait to see the clothes in action.

kkards

nice haul! love the slip ons, especially the black pony hair! and i want to see the sunflower dress in action, country punk indeed!

These are all great, Rachylou. The dress and slip-ons outfit is very nice on you, and not too young looking at all. I like the high-low hem. The slip-ons are all fab--I like the interesting textures of the black pairs, and you can't beat simple white for summer. The Dries dress and sundress are winners. I especially want to see the DVN when you wear it.

My only question: where's the coat? Did you not find one yet?

I struck out on the coat. Couldn't repeat last year's luck!

fuzzylogic

Nice work, rachylou! Love the pony-hair slip ons- I have pony-hair pumps and am loving them so much this season! Looking forward to seeing the DVN dress on the model!!

Joyce B

You got some great stuff! I love number 1 on you.

Glory

Great selections Rachylou! I don't think the dress in 1 is too young. Looks like you found some terrific items. Take that UPS!!

Great stuff all around! Especially love the first sundress. Can I ask where it's from?

Aubergine, the brown sundress is from Ross

Ok... that was after the Outlets. I love Ross. We have the best one in my area. Hehe.

Neel

Ooo ooo ooo ... I want that pony hair slip ons! One of these days the madden slip one are going to walk with me home :). June is over!!! Wooot woot!

And I love your dresses too. Such fun prints. Aaahhh ... I love a great haul

Ah, Ross. I always forget about Ross. Was hoping it was from somewhere order-onlineable!

CocoLion

Love the slip ons! The pony hair pair have me drooling. The dress you've modeled fits and flatters and yes, does the country punk label proud. County punk reminds me of 90s Anna Sui. The other items look promising too but I can't comment unless you model them.

I'm wearing the DVN today. I need a full-length silky slip for it... You know, it's quite an unexciting dress. Lol. I'm not sure what that means.
