Memorial Day Weekend Haul

It's June! What is this post doing here?? Yeah, I know. I've fallen a bit behind-- let's just leave it at that. I had to put this together despite that, though, cause I'm pretty excited about what I got over the long weekend! I mostly got basics from Madewell, Loft, and Gap that can be styled in tons of ways. Let's take it from the top!



Madewell





→ BUY HERE 

First up is this super cute and casual pair of crop tees. They're the same top in two different colors. It looks substantially longer on the model than it does on me; I guess it depends on body type. I chose neutral colors to increase the top's versatility and to highlight its material. You can't see it very well in the photos, but there's a slight sheen to the fabric. It's pretty cool!

Ugh, another crop top. I've been trying to get more crop tops and high-waisted bottoms because together they work wonders for anyone's silhouette. Hence this purchase. I gave in to it also because of its bright orange-red shade. Once again, it looks shorter  (on me, at least) and the color pop more in person.




→ BUY HERE 


This was my final find at Madewell and boy am I excited about it. I couldn't find a link to it directly from the Madewell website (the link above goes to Nordstrom's site) so I'm assuming it's sold out there. And let me tell you why. The material of these joggers, which are currently a pretty big trend, by the way (hence the price...meh), is so smooth and comfortable on the skin. In addition, I'm really into the mid-rise waistline. Last but not least, this thing has pockets. Pockets (Four big ones, actually). That is all.




LOFT


→ BUY HERE 


I didn't originally plan on getting anything from Loft when we first stepped in, but that all changed when I saw this necklace. In person, it looks more rustic- the gold is more tarnished and the purple is deeper. I love those two details and the frosted jewels. This necklace would go awesome with neutrals, which I'm always in.





→ BUY HERE 


This tank was a bit of an impulse buy. I saw it on the clearance rank and immediately thought to buy it because I've been looking to add stripes to my closet, I don't regret it too much, but one thing that I'm pretty disappointed with is the fit. I had hoped that it would be more flowy than it is. But I guess it just adds to the top's athletic feel, which is emphasized by the thin stripe print and the ribbed sweater hemming (you can't see this in much detail in this picture).

I LOVE these sunglasses. After seeing rounder frames more and more, I found myself craving a pair. I didn't give it much thought when picking these out initially but after coming home I couldn't stop thinking about how good of a buy it was. I love the leopard print (not sure if that's what it is in the above picture) and the way it looks on my face shape!



Gap




→ BUY HERE 


Okay, we're down to the last two items. Apparently I've been gaining weight (not much of a surprise tbh), because it is a struggle to fit into last year's shorts. So I hit up Gap for a couple replacements. the first pair of shorts is this light wash number. I love light wash because it's such a nice shade and goes with neutrals like taupe and white really nicely. The high waist is also a plus.




→ BUY HERE 

These shorts are just as casual cool as the last pair, but in a different color and with rips. I can't wait to take these out for a spin with one of my new Madewell crop tops.



Which pieces from this haul would you rock? Let me know down
