Swap Sunday - My Haul

On Sunday I attended the Frugal Fashionista Clothing Swap. The exciting part of a swap is that you never know what you might find. I went to the swap hoping for a skirt. I found one I really liked but it was cut way too short for my taste and my legs. Instead I found some other fantastic pieces. I scored two sweaters, two tops and a dress! 

Orange Eyelet Sweater - Lane Bryant

Fuchsia Cropped Cardigan - Torrid

Graphic Tee - PePe

Multi Striped Shell - Mossimo for Target

Khaki Shirt Dress (new with tags) - Speed Contronl NY

I didn't find a skirt but the shirt dress has a full skirt and I'll be able to wear it spring through fall. The shape is perfect for me. I'll get lots of wear out of the sweaters and tops. I can even wear the two sweaters with the two tops. It was a great afternoon of free shopping. I got rid of some unwanted items and got some fun new items (well new to me).

Moment of Lust - Vince Metallic Sweaters

Early this season, I published my picks for Spring and Summer. A sheer sweater for layering was on the list and is one of my faves. I'll be taking a few to the beach with me this summer for those cool evenings. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vince metallic sweaters as a sheer sweater option. Summer sheer and shiny, how could you not love it?

Vince Metallic Sweaters - $320 and $199

With prices (even on sale) starting at $199, I doubt I will own one anytime soon. Of course that means I had to go in search of a budget RGR alternative. I didn't find any exact matches in my search but this option from Alloy is the perfect option for me and at $9.99 is $190 less than the least expensive Vince sweater. SCORE! The loose poncho style sweater top is also a breezy summer option. Throw it over a tank or even a bathing suit and you are ready to go.
