Okay, these shorts:
They're from the Gap and they don't have a ton of sizes left but they are solid. They're not, like, life-changing but that's asking a lot from denim cut-offs. They're cute, fit well, they have a long enough inseam so I don't have to keep tugging them down (the WORST.) They best part: they're not very expensive. Also, they're true to size.
Out of sheer desperation I also bought this pair full-price (though a similar style is on sale here and make sure you click on 'see all sizes' because they hide them!) This goes against everything I believe in but I was mad that everything I liked had sold out in my size:
These are Joe's Jeans Bermuda shorts and they're also good! But so expensive for what they are. I mean, yes, I'd spend that much on a pair of jeans and I live in cut-offs during the summer but I don't know. I haven't taken the tags off and will probably send them back. Maybe. We'll see. PS. I sized up on these. Zappos also has them.
Remember my post about Outdoor Voices? I caved and bought the Apex bra:
Ugh. Y'all. I am actually mad that I like this so much. I don't want to like it so much but it's GOOD. The fabric is very high quality, it's got a thick, supportive band, and it's comfortable! I love the higher neckline too - great for yoga, especially when you're upside down, because you might think things are where they should be, but they probably aren't. I'm just saying.
Finally, when I'm feeling crummy, I've found that buying something from a friend is the best:
My friend Maryellen makes beautiful jewelry and posted this necklace up on her Instagram. I am a sucker for labradorite so I bought one (which I'll wear soon in an outfit post!) She also has a great Etsy shop full of similar designs. The longer necklaces are the best because you can double them up and wear short or long and the button fastener becomes part of the design. Best.
How are you feeling about the shefit bra now that you’ve had it longer? It’s showing up in my FB ads constantly and I’m sort of tempted because the post-baby girls are a little jigglier than they used to be.
ReplyDeleteAnd while I’m at it, what’s your current fav underwear? I am spoiling myself with nice underwear... the old ones have got to go!
The Shefit is great! It's serious business though so I save it for "jumpy" workouts. Favorite underwear is Chantelle seamless stretch. It's pretty basic-looking but really comfortable and comes in a lot of colors. For prettier stuff, I like Natori.
DeleteMy word those cut offs are expensive! Love the jewellery and the sports bra!
ReplyDeleteI know! It's so stupid. I should return them.
DeleteI hope you're not feeling too bad, because times are hard and we need to take care of ourselves. We are not traveling anywhere this year, so that's a little more disposable income, right?I also was looking for denim shorts this season and couldn't find any that fit my price point and my style. Then I pulled out another box of summer clothes and found that I already had a pair of Hilfiger cut offs from last year! And they are great, so I am happy.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when that happens!
DeleteIf they bring you joy and you will wear them for a few years maybe not. I have many brand shorts and actually love Joe's the best- this year I got a few pair on Nordstrom rack etc although the bermuda's hardly ever make it to sale.
ReplyDeleteThey are really soft and comfortable. I will probably end up keeping them!
