Spring into the Gap

The friendboy and I were trying to kill some time by walking around the mall for a bit while waiting to meet some friends for dinner last Friday. We decided to shop a bit... never a safe idea.

While I have not purchased anything from Gap in years, I was pleasantly surprised by my findings in the sales section!

Pink Blazer (unlined) 30% off $40! Similar here

I really liked this pink blazer. I currently have a blush pink linen blazer (that you may have seen here) as well as a forest green, golden yellow, black, white, and ivory. I am still trying to build up my blazer collection.

Gap is also offering 25% off online orders through 4/18 with promo code GAPSAVE.

Blush Pink Pleated Trench Coat, found here. On sale for $49 with 30% off!

I've always wanted a trench coat. This color was cute. It looks more tan in this picture but I can gaurantee you that it is more blush than it is tan.It was a little big. Sizes at Gap tend to run a bit larger... which makes me feel a little better. This was a small. I could have easily taken an XS. Unsual for me.

Charcoal gray Pin-Striped Blazer, on sale from $40 with 30% off. Way too big. The smallest size left was a size 6!
Found here

Again, my love for blazers led me to try on the above pin-striped coat. Luckily for my wallet, I was not able to find a smaller size.

Green Utility Skirt, similar here (I kind of like the linked ASOS skirt better)

I have been hunting down a green skirt in quite some time now. This isn't the exact type of green skirt that I was looking for but at 30% off. Who could beat that? It has pockets! Unfortunately, the stylish security pin on the right does NOT come with the skirt. But I think I'll be able to manage without.

I came in wearing this:

Gettin' Cozy

Where I work, I'm continuosly on my feet, then sitting, then back on my feet, then sitting. Up, down, up, down. One moment I will need to help a patient with the glasses selection, then I'm sitting again billing or making calls to labs, or running data reports. And then it's back up on my feet running errands or meeting with accounts we're associated with. That being said, sometimes it's just easier dressing in something comfortable.

I <3 leggings. And I <3 flowy shirts/blouses. I really like the two, together. The friendboy asks me all the time, "How come you always wear 'flowy' shirts?" Pssh... easy for you to ask Mister. Your shirt selections typically aren't "fitted"! Try hiding your day's lunch in a fitted shirt. Then see if you like getting asked, "Ohh! How far along are you?" It doesn't always work out to your advantage.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I also really, REALLY, enjoy flats!

Every year, I go through my closet to see if there's something that I can donate (and also make more space... it gets quite packed in my small closet!). I found a gold pleather blazer that was given to me as a gift. I haven't worn it ever. And I always forget that I have it! Decided to play around with it. And I've decided, it's a keeper! I think I'll wear it out soon!

Don't mind my bad lighting. I really need to get a better light bulb!
