So how does one celebrate the end of a less-than-ideal week? Why, retail therapy of course, and a visit from my sister and niece but more on that later! I did well though (if I don't say so myself) because I'm in need of some serious summer clothing but have a very small budget to spend on it. All of the pieces below are under $50 and after shipping will all be mine...muwahahahah.
The colors of the this basket weave belt are unique and would punch up any plain dress.
Shandy Basketweave Belt $8.80
I'll wear this with jeans on the weekends and tucked into a skirt for work.
Mavia Plaid Woven Shirt $15.80
I like the loose, bohemian feel of this top. Perfect with linen pants or shorts.
H81 Blooming Flower Print Top $18.90
I don' t really own any orange so I thought this might be a nice change for me. The neck tie and cut of the blouse exude femininity.
Spring Floral Chiffon Blouse $19.80
You know... for when I'm feeling frisky.
Floral Whimsy Skirt $15.80
I saw this top in the most recent issue of Lucky and instantly fell in love with it. It's so retro and I know I'm going to adore that little pocket.
Sleeveless Sweater with Collar $21.20 (from $53)
If I could wear a dress everyday, I would. This one is nipped in at all the right places and the tulip skirt is modern and sophisticated. I'll be wearing this to work and I might toss a funky belt over it for nighttime.
Picque Tulip Dress $42 (from $70)
Remember this dress from my previous "what the heck am I going to wear to this wedding" post? It's still on sale (what???) and I just had to buy it because even if it doesn't make the cut for the wedding, it's a sweet shape and it's yellow!
Linen Dress $40.80 (from $68)
My twin sister and niece are coming up this morning and I'm so giddy with excitement! Then, tomorrow, B's parents are coming up so it's going to be a wonderful family weekend.
Whatever you're doing, I hope you're surrounded by people you love. Wait, what are you doing this weekend?

You have a twin sister?! I know I'm fairly new to your blog (and I love it), so I'm sorry if this is well known-but so do I! Yay! So fun!
Love the tulip dress. So cute. Are you gals identical?
i love these posts! these are great! and under $50!!
love the blue dress!!!
Chiffon, from the French word for a cloth or rag, is a lightweight, balanced plain-woven sheer fabric woven of alternate S- and Z-twist crepe (high-twist) yarns.
there are too many things you've chosen to list in this comment that I absolutely adore. Suffice to say, I'll take all of them, please!!!
Each of the pieces for your new wardrobe are beautiful and completely justifiable with those low prices! I specially heart the blue tulip dress. So snazy!
i really love the flower print top and the floral skirt. it's very spring/summer.
I do adore that floral skirt - fabulous with a singlet and ballet flats :)
The plaid shirt looks very similar to a new one I have. You had a splurge day :)
Wow...I go into F21 and come out with a scarf. You find all these things...thanks for sharing...I will have to revisit that place pronto!
I'm so sorry to hear about the less than ideal week :( But, retail therapy is the bestest! And your retail therapy, well, I'm just living vicariously!
i so love all of these :)
GORGEOUS finds!! Great job!!
You have a twin?! Groovy! I hope you had a smashingly good time with your family. Your new wardrobe additions are too cute! I particularly love the plaid shirt, the orange chiffon blouse, and the yellow dress.
all great choices!
the tulip dress is my fav:)
I love the navy one - such a nice twist on a classic!
