I picked up a lot of goodies this month! Luckily I sold quite a bit on Poshmark to prevent me from going over budget for the quarter. I couldn't resist adding a white linen shirt, and I liked the price point of the Uniqlo shirt over the comparable Everlane shirt. I'm bummed because it is pretty sheer, but I decided that I wouldn't mind wearing it with a Uniqlo AIRism tank layered underneath (these are currently on promo and Uniqlo is offering free shipping through tonight!). I got my usual size XS in the shirt and it fits well. Your eyes aren't tricking you—I did buy a winter scarf this month! Everlane reduced the price on a few items in another one of their "Pay What You Want" sales, and since I was planning on buying the scarf anyway, I snatched it up. I can't wait to pull it out this fall.
I placed a small Old Navy order a couple of weeks ago. I liked the Old Navy chambray skirt as an alternative to the Madewell skirt I tried on a few weeks ago. I preferred the pockets and the lack of visible zipper, but it does run slightly big in my usual XS. If only they had an XXS! I think I can make it work, though. I also ordered the floppy sun hat to try, and I LOVE IT! It's going to be a great alternative to my white sun hat this summer.
A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed my first Grana order, which included a pima tank in white, silk tank in light grey, and the silk shorts in black. I ended up returning that entire order and reordering the shorts in a size small and the pima tank in a different color. I also added the silk shell to try. The second time was the charm! ;) I love everything! The shorts are a tad loose in the waist, but it's more comfortable than the tight waist of the size XS. I'm thinking about writing another review post; would that be of interest? The only "new" item is the silk shell (which I love so much more than the tank). As always, you can use my referral link for 10% off your first order (& I'll earn credit!).
I finally ordered my gold sandals this month, so hopefully they will be here next month! I also placed an order for a couple of items at ASOS (they're offering 20% off for Memorial Day weekend). I'm also ready to buy a denim vest. Other than that, I'm not planning on buying anything else next month... We will see what happens, though. ;)
