Unless you're stocking up on summer clearance stuff for a late vacation, to me, Labor Day weekend shopping is synonymous with preparing my closet for fall. I thought I'd give you some inspiration for some fall basics as you head out to fill your shopping bags this weekend. These are some of the sales I will be enjoying:
Stella and Dot: Additional 25% off sale items
Anthropologie: Additional 20% off sale items
JCrew Factory: 40-60% all (most) items
LOFT: 50% off select items
Hey, why isn't Express listed in there? Oh, maybe because I've already placed THREE orders that are on their way to me. OK, I'm lying. Only two are on their way to me, the first package already arrived today, so I can share those try-on photos with you. This is hot off the press, so you'll have to excuse the post-Pilates hair and workout leggings. And I have crazy eye in the second photo because I was staring at a certain beagle creeping in the background.
So, the plaid portofino was a lot more sheer than the rest of my portofinos. I have a dot portofino, a white portofino, and the ivory with contrast piping, and I don't wear a cami under any of them. I will have to for this one though. Not my favorite, but I still love it enough to look past that slight negative.
The diamond print portofino is THE BEST! I really like this one a lot. It's definitely something that will easily dress up or down. It's the normal weight of the traditional portofinos, and I love that the print is just a touch preppy. This will be on repeat, I know it.
I had been on the hunt for a buffalo plaid top for awhile. But I didn't want one that was flannel because I wanted to be able to wear it year round, and just the thought of flannel during weather like this makes me wanna run nekked in a walk-in cooler. That's why I think this one is perfect and if you've been looking for one, too, look no further. It's pretty lightweight, so that means perfect for layering and still manageable for warmer months. And check out the side view - perfect length on me for leggings. (I'm 5'-2")
And in case your body is shaped like a model, I figured I'd post the stock photos for you. As soon as my other packages arrive and I am able to try stuff on, I shall share those goodies with you, too!
Still not convinced you need Buffalo Plaid? Hop over to see Shay's Pinspiration and that may change your mind!
So, spill it. What are you shopping for this weekend?!

I just updated my post to link to yours today since you have some excellent try-on notes. I think I already spent all my money on the Express sale! LOL. I got my first order yesterday just like you and am awaiting TWO MORE. I don't think it will all work out but I have to try. Lots of jewelry thought and I'm pretty sure most of that will fit!

I'm excited to get my other stuff! But I guess now it's really just that striped dress, the black slip ons, and the scuba leggings. I truly am excited for fall. And post season baseball :)
DeleteFall clothes are the absolute best! Love the pieces you've picked to highlight! Happy Friday!

Thanks so much!
DeleteI'm started to get excited about wearing fall clothes! The red checked boyfriend top is on my wishlist and I think it would look great with leopard. Love your inspiration board of sale picks! Have a wonderful weekend!

Yes, leopard is a combo I certainly want to dab in with the plaid top! I love it so much! Thank you!
DeleteI am so excited to dress for fall!! Great sale pics, I am definitely going into Express this weekend to pick up some portofino blouses and a few pair of jeans!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, love!

Sounds like a good plan to me! :)
DeleteYou did really well girl. Love the sweater, chambray overalls and layering/topper pieces you got, especially. Gorgeous necklaces and booties too. I also super love and want the red buffalo plaid Portofino. It suits you. I can see it being super versatile. =)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Holiday Weekend!! <3 Ada.
The buffalo plaid is not actually a portofino! It's a different material, and it's got a longer, more relaxed fit - which makes it perfect for leggings! Pretty excited to wear it again and again!
DeleteThanks! Hope you're enjoying your vacation!
Woot woot on your sale finds! I need to head out and hunt some of my favs down which have been sitting pretty in the shopping bag online. Love the red plaid shirt..
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect red plaid - seriously. You need it!
DeleteThat Buffalo plaid top is gorgeous, and I like that it's not flannel, specially for down here in Fl
ReplyDeleteNatalia
Yes, the material is the perfect weight. Very happy with it!
Deletehaha, i just had that camo sweater from the loft in my hands (and in the dressing room) the other day!!! I haven't bought it yet, but I still love it!!! Love your buffalo plaid! My sister got a cardigan/wrap last year in buffalo print and I wasn't sure how I felt about it for me. I think it's going to gain major popularity this year though, and I do love it with leopard print!! Great purchases! Looking forward to seeing what else you get!

I reaaaaally want the camo sweater. I think Tara from Mix and Match Fashion has it (or something super similar) and I always covet it. I am just wary bc I don't wear my camo tops as much as my camo bottoms. Hmm.. Conundrum!!
DeleteI don't have anything buffalo check. Or should I say, I don't have anything buffalo YET! You and Shay have convinced me! Thanks for linking up! xoxo, Sheaffer :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, lady! I appreciate the opportunity!
DeleteWhat fabulous shirts! I think the buffalo check is going to be so perfect for fall -- I'll have to start looking for something to add to my fall wardrobe. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so odd how I am planning for fall even though it's still pretty summery out! I think I'm in denial because I am sick of sweating! Hope you find your perfect fall wish list items! Thanks for reading!
DeleteYou're going to make me go plaid crazy! I just got a plaid shirt today from LOFT and now I want the plaid portofino !!! They are light and perfect for warmer fall temps here in Florida
ReplyDeleteCha Cha The Fashion Genius
Yes, absolutely! I love it! Highly recommend!!
DeleteI will not be doing any shopping this weekend, instead cleaning out closets to rid items not worn this or last summer. Enjoy the holiday, BTW - love the plaid,
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero! I wish I had that kind of motivation this weekend! I really need to list some stuff on ebay, stat!
DeleteI went to Costco this weekend, so nothing especially exciting. A bucketload of toilet paper! ;)
ReplyDeleteIn case I have not already left a comment before, this is just a quick note to say hi. I visited your blog during the month of August and I liked what I saw, so I've added you to my feedreader and am following your blog. :)
Cheers!

Haha! That's awesome! Toilet paper is certainly a necessity and not that cheap, I may add!
DeleteYay - Hope you found some awesome things!
