Send out a Search Party

I'm searching for these items.

What are you searching for?


1. A lace, tulle, or light crinkle knee-length skirt

Picture
Next Cinnamon Lace Mini Skirt, no longer available
Did you know you can wear a lace, tulle, or light crinkle skirt almost year round? Just wear it with a sweater fall and spring. Love the pairing of heavy and so light!
I've been frustrated since some of these skirts are unavailable, too expensive, or only offered in a couple sizes. Seen any others out there?



FOUND!

Forever 21 to the rescue!

3. The perfect cold-shoulder or split-sleeve top

Cold shoulder tops are popping up all over and why not? Bare shoulders look great no matter what your size or age. 
Ideally not in red, black (Alloy), bright blue (Boston Proper), or floral. Must be affordable. 
Venus offers a cold-shoulder turtleneck--that's a little higher neck than I had in mind. Venus has a couple others that are a little too low-cut for me.

Boston Proper shimmer cold shoulder tunic, $19.98














Too silvery for me. Pretty nice otherwise. Maybe both these from Boston Proper are a bit too dramatic?

Piperlime Tolani Margie Silk Print Top, $39.97
Found!

Picture
Victoria's Secret curve-loving lace sleeve sweater, $19.99

This sweater from Victoria's Secret works for me! Not quite what we started with, but I like it, and the price is right! Runs small, size up.

4. Cotton, mustard-colored shirt

Picture
J. Crew perfect shirt in mini-gingham, $29.99
Ideally, the shirt would have a small collar. It might have a small print on it. Classic, slightly vintage.

This shirt is on its way there but not quite what I had in mind. The color is too yellow vs. mustard, and I'm really hoping for polka dots, not gingham.


Picture
Garnet Hill essential printed cotton shirt, $29
Almost perfect! But I'd like mustard please.
