I haven't done one of these "buying lately" posts in awhile, so I figured I was long overdue. And…. I was one outfit short this week, so. Let's get started!

Softened Shirts: Ever since I bought the softest chambray ever from LOFT (seen here), I've realized I needed another one. Or two. And it was like LOFT was in my head because all of a sudden they had a 50% off sale! So, I added the geo print top and darker chambray top to my cart very quickly! And I'm glad I did because the dark wash chambray is now sold out, but this option looks great!

Fringe trim and stripe cabana Dresses: I figured I would take further advantage of the LOFT sale by buying a couple of dresses…. even though I feel like I don't wear dresses as much as I should. So I'm not sure I will be keeping both of these, but for the price, they were worth the try. 

Striped shirt dress: I haven't shopped the Topshop section in Nordstrom lately, so I decided to take a gander one night. I fell in love with this striped shirt dress. I've actually ordered it three times now!! Topshop tends to run a bit small on me, so I sized up. But it was HUGE, so then I went two sizes down. But it still looked a bit big on me, so I sized down one more time. It should arrive this week, and if this doesn't work, then I'll just have to throw in the towel. Hopefully it's not a lost cause because… the stripes!! 

Ankle tie gladiator sandal: For the last two seasons, I've been wanting some gladiator sandals like nobody's business. But I know they're pretty trendy, and I don't know how I will feel about them one year from now. I love American Eagle's sandals (my new favorite is this pair seen here), so when I saw this pair of gladiators, I had to try them. And they're so comfortable! If you're in the market for some gladiators, but unsure of the trend, I definitely recommend these. The footbed is nice and cushy!

Alligator clips: Danielle posted a selfie on Instagram here wearing these alligator clips. She referred to a video by The Skinny Confidential about a sleep bun. Naturally, I was intrigued and had to track down the video, and subsequently buy these clips. I haven't quite mastered the sleep bun yet, but I do definitely like them while I'm doing my hair. I won't give up on the sleep bun yet though!

Nude Ankle strap sandals: So yes, these are the same sandals that I already have in red (seen here.) Jeffrey Campbell posted this pair on Instagram and I immediately started a conversation with Rachelle about how much I needed them! Sadly, they didn't have them in my size, but in my search for them, I discovered that my red sandals came in this nude color. And of course I couldn't stop thinking about them, so I ended up buying them. Oops.

And that's it! And it's plenty!!! What have you bought lately? Anything fun?
