Summer 2018 sales and deals

wide leg pants summer 2018

There are so many great summer 2018 sales and deals right now! I want to share with you all these sales before they are gone! Fall 2018 is hitting store shelves, and stores are eager to clear out all of their summer merchandise. Of course, temperatures won’t go down until October, so there is plenty of summer weather left for wearing these pieces!

These comfortable wide-leg black trousers also come in two additional colors, and are on major sale for under $20! Grab a pair before they are gone! The olive top I am wearing, which also comes in additional colors, also happens to be on major sale for well under $20. It’s great with trousers, skirts, and jeans. This is the perfect top to wear now, and well into the fall season. Love that!

blue valentino tango pumps fall 2016

These pumps are my go-to heels when I need to be dressed up. I have owned them for a couple of years and they are comfortable, chic, and easy to walk in. I cannot believe the amazing discount they are on right now! You can grab a pair of these Valentino pumps for yourself at a fraction of the price I paid online here. I also created a shopping widget with both heel lengths below. I own the shorter heel in red, and the tall one in slate. I love them both! If you are looking for a designer deal, this is it!

Also, keep in mind not all retailers are discounting this shoe, so it’s still regular price at department stores. These online deals on these shoes are amazing. These shoes are not a close-out, so they will still be around for awhile! I plan on snapping up a black pair; just need to decide which heel height to get!

denim dresses summer 2018

This denim dress is a go-to for brunch, meeting up for lunch, shopping, church, and anytime I want to wear a dress! The shoulders can be worn on, or one-shoulder off, or both shoulders off; so it can be worn day into evening too! This denim dress is on major sale, so be sure to grab one before it is gone!

summer stripe dress

I’m a sucker for stripes, and this dress is fabulous on hot days. It’s really comfortable and flattering, love that! I can’t believe what a great deal it is right now. If you need a sundress, this is the one! You can snap one up before it’s gone forever online here.

The ultimate no iron shirt for women

how to wear a mens style shirt for women no iron wrinkle free fashionable work tote fits laptop timeless no iron shirt chicosno iron shirt wrinkle freewrinkle free classic shirt women

wearing: lipstick / convertible necklace (wearing middle tier) c/o Chico’s (last seen here) / white tank top / blue and white stripe no iron shirt for women c/o Chico’s / mixed metal bracelets / Dior summer nail polish / summer tote bag (full review here) / white and silver watch / fall 2018 jeans / black espadrilles (super comfy and on major sale!!)

One of my least favorite activities to do around the house is the ironing. I have to lug the ironing board out of the laundry room, open it (and mine always sticks), then I have to pull out the iron, heat it up, tell the kids not to run in the house because they will knock it over and die, and then I have to iron out all the wrinkles on an article of clothing only to have it re-wrinkle when someone puts it on or sits in the car. It’s like an endless cycle-much like that run-on sentence of mine explaining why I don’t like to iron!

When I was working with Chico’s on my travel wardrobe for my recent trip to Seattle, they suggested I try out their no iron shirt too. I don’t normally wear men’s style shirts, but the thought of a wrinkle free garment sparked my interest, so I accepted it! My husband has a closet full of wrinkle-free dress shirts he wears for work, which I have always envied, so I wanted one too! His clothing is professional, yet it’s all wash and wear. Why can’t women’s clothing be wash and wear too?

This no iron shirt for women from Chico’s is a dream come true. While it can get an occasional crease from sitting in the car, it doesn’t look like it needs any ironing; and it comes out of the wash wrinkle free. Love that!

The menswear trend is still going strong as we head into the fall season. So, I love being able to wear it now. This shirt is classic, and offers both the menswear look, and feminine appeal. I love the 3/4 sleeves and chic button row on the back. It’s like a classic suit shirt with a twist. This shirt can easily be worn under a blazer during the day at work, then when the blazer is removed, it can carry you into the weekend. Love!

I wore this outfit the other day at Santana Row when I met my friend Dawn from Fashion Should Be Fun for lunch at Pizza Antica. It was really comfortable and easy to wear in the hot weather. I’m not as tan as I look in the photo of us together, but maybe we can pretend I am that tan?? haha I really wish I was!

Summer into fall wrap top and jeans

transition fall outfit ideas early fall boots fall outfit ideas

wearing: rose gold hoop earrings / lipstick / fall 2018 green floral wrap top / fall 2018 nail polish / fall 2018 tulip hem jeans / Gucci bag / fall 2018 split shaft booties /

OK, can I just tell you how much I love love love this wrap top! It’s so comfortable, and I adore the volume sleeves and dramatic side tie. Sleeves with volume were all over the fall 2018 runways in New York, and this top embodies the trend perfectly; at a fraction of the price of a top from a runway designer. Love that!

Wrap tops and dresses are inherently flattering. This top goes beyond the basic wrap top by featuring a dramatic tie on the side. I love the exaggerated ties which enable me to make a sizable side bow.

Of course, I need to give these jeans a shout out! I have been wearing them non-stop, despite the warm summer weather. I love the tulip hem, and the seams are slimming. The denim fabric is extremely soft too. I could live in them! If you’re tall, they act like a cropped jean, if you are short like me, they hit at the ankle and look like a slim boot cut. Love that! (I am 5’4″ for reference)

I know I have droned on about these boots already, but seriously, they are sooooo comfy! The stacked heel hits in the right place for ample arch support, and the split shaft allows air to flow. This makes them great for early fall when it’s still warm outside, but we all want to rock those fall trends.

This is definitely an outfit I love for the fall season; and foggy summer days. It’s an effortless look which looks like it took some effort! It can be amped up with pumps for an evening look, or paired with flats for a very casual look. Love the versatility!
