I did some sale shopping at the end of last week. My first stop was the Loft because of its 40% off sale items. I then headed to The Limited to check out its up-to-70% off promotion. I left each store with one sale top purchase.
Today’s post features the new top I purchased inThe Limited. It is a turquoise, zig zag stitch top with flap sleeves and a banded hem. This top just happened to be one of the more expensive items in the sale at the store. It was marked down to $29.99 and I received an additional educator’s discount of 15% off.
When I saw the top, I immediately visualized pairing it with my Loft shorts and Kanna t-strap wedges.

The look didn’t quite work out as I imagined though. I felt like the top would better complement slimmer pants. So, I decided to pair the top with cuffed straight leg jeans for a casual late lunch date on Saturday. Here’s the final look.

Really pretty top, you can do so much with it.
I definitely like the second look, but you're so doggone stylish, you pull off both!
I can also see you wearing this with white linen pants (with a more slim fit), a straw fedora, and a wrist full of gold bangles. Maybe red thong sandals to throw in a contrasting color (or gold to keep it neutral)?
nice top !!!
Educator/student discount is always awesome. As a recent grad (my student ID hasn't expired yet!), the student discount at J.Crew, Loft, etc. is definitely a plus. 🙂 Unfortunately, my closest J.Crew store doesn't let me use my student discount on sale items or items on promotion, but my J.Crew outlet does. I wonder if that's a J.Crew store policy…

Very cute on you, reminds me of Missoni.
So true @Sing! There are some classic prints that I just adore and this is one of them.
Great suggestion @Kish! Note to self: get some white pants!
@Lady D: I was instantly attracted. It came in a warmer print too.
@Jane: I am so glad you stopped by. I didn't know that you could get a discount at the outlet. Wow! I never even tried. Thanks for that info!
@Andi: Yup, it is reminiscent of Missoni
