Spring Trends Guide 2013: Printed tees and oversized jackets

I have gone crazy over simple printed tees. they are so easy to dress up (think boyfriend jeans, pumps and a blazer) or dress down (think boyfriend jeans, a leather jacket and wedged sneakers). I have collected a ton of them and it seems its a trend that wont die anytime soon. this is also another monochrome look! huge for Spring and right now too! Check out the rest of the Spring Trends Guide posts HERE, HERE, and HERE.

AWESOME PRINTED TEES

there are tons of Spring Trends happening with this outfit: oversized blazer, printed tee, stripes and a quilted skirt. Somehow it all works. I was stalking this blazer at Zara and finally broke down and got it (after visiting 3 different Zara's to find it!). The 5th Ave Zara (the most amazing Zara in New York City and possibly the USA) but it doesn't hold a candle to the flagship in Barcelona. this blazer is also linen so its lightweight. can't wait to rock this blazer with everything including denim cutoffs and sky high sandals. I couldn't resist the gaped tooth smile top.

my first missoni

i'd been eyeing this Missoni skirt at Loehmanns for the longest time but really couldn't justify blowing $200 for a skirt. i am still a frugalista at heart. but as if the Missoni God's knew what I was thinking everything Missoni at Loehmanns was a cool 35% off with an additional $25 dollars off. thank goodness for coupons and memberships. I walked away with this skirt for less than $90.
Jacket/Top: Rachel Roy | Skirt: Missoni | Booties: Via Spiga | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
 
this jacket was also a fashion STEELE! Daffy's was having this amazing going out of business sale and i scored this Rachel Roy jacket for $19. Yes...$19!!!!! i could hardly believe it myself. i love the assymetrical cut of the jacket too! i wish the Fall would last a little longer so i can get some more wear out of this skirt before the Winter. i don think it will look as good with opaque tights. ugh...gotta get ready to pack my gams away for the winter.

there they were Green and Furry

so there i was..perusing the designer racks at Loehmanns. There was a huge sale going on and I was hoping to score some serious designers for less. Well the $600 Valentino dress in dusted gold
was 50% off but that was out of my price range. I do still need to buy the essentials in life such as groceries.
I was just about to call it a loss when I saw something. Something green and furry.
To my surprise it was a pair of Missoni Shorts with green inside furry lining.
You will NEVER guess I much I got them for either!

Blue Ring: Top Shop
These shorts clocked in at $38!
This has to be the best fashion STEELE so far!
They were marked down and then marked down again and then 50% off.
I scurried so quickly to the dressing room that I think I knocked an old lady over.
They fit.
They are mine.
always and forever....
Missoni Shorts.
I know I'm always getting on my Loehmanns soap box but lets be real here...they are kicking these
chain stores a$$es. They are always the first place I look for amazing deals.
