Summer, shorts and sales!

With ridiculous heat waves, blaring sun and rain with no end, I would like to declare this summer in Texas. If you are like me, every time summer comes, you open your closet and feel like you don't have any summer clothes. I am here to help you save a little cash on clothes so you can spend it on last minute trips to the lake/river/etc.

There are a ton of cute shorts in stores right now and there are also a ton of sales going on! Since I have the GAPCARD, I get about a gazillion emails a day telling me this. First off, check out Gap: 25 % off TODAY only if you enter GAPSAVE at online checkout (also valid in stores). I got these guys and they fit really well -- not tooshort and not too long.


These look great with summer brights like orange and turquoise.

Gap also has these in white, black and fun prints. Get them fast before they are gone!

Other sales going on right now to consider amping up your summer wardrobe: Anthropologie and J. Crew -- who is giving an extra 30% off all sale items (until Friday) with the code MUSTHAVE. The outlet stores also have great low prices but I haven't gotten to check these out just yet.

More shorts: Now, I have not tried these on yet but I have seen them in a magazine and I thought they were super cute. I really like this scallop trend for the summer. Personally, J.Crew never fits my big German family butt, but if they fit you, let me know so I can live vicariously through you. They are also pretty pricey at over $100, and since I am saving for a really fun trip to NYC in less than a month I will not be purchasing a piece of cotton for anywhere near that price anytime soon.

ps. look forward to my FIRST ever guest post this Friday!
