Best Summer Purchase?
Permalink Closed

Just curious...What was your best summer purchase?  Was it something you had been eyeing for awhile, or was it something you picked up on a whim?


My two best summer purchases this year were both from Target:  a brown tiered cotton skirt ($13) and silver ballet flats ($12).  They're both super comfy and I wear both of them ALL the time (but not together). 


What was your favorite purchase this summer?

I'll have to ditto the tiered, brown skirt from Target. I really wish I had bought two of them.

Probably some incredibly boring, tan thongs from (sorry!) payless. As basic as it gets, but that's the point - they go with everything.

Two blazers--total impulse buy. I was going through the Savvy dept of Nordstrom on my way to the ladies room and a display caught my eye. I ended up buying two Tom K Nguyen stretch cotton jackets--one in a green, (which I posted) the other a light amethyst purple. I wear them both all the time. I took the purple one on my vacation, will be taking it on more trips soon. I bought them last January for a total of $487. One of my best impulse buys.

Oh, and they are cold-water wash--and they turn out great. I just wish Nordstrom or another store would get another group in from this designer.

Believe it or not both of mine were from The Gap. I hadn't bought anything from there in years but early this summer I bought a pair of British khaki Bermudas and a batik print sundress, both of which I wear all the time.

My favorite has to be my Dr. Scholl's brown leather sandals with the crystal buckle.  So comfy, so cute, and I have worn them many times. 


I also like my white leather Coach swing pack.  I have used it plenty of times too.  I like how I can wear it shopping hands free.  Plus it's not too big, and fits everything I usually take with me.

Two things:

In April, a pair of heels from...of all brands, Nina. (I don't usually wear their shoes). These are wood- botomed sandals with a bit of platform, about a 4" heel, and some studding on the sides of the front.

Re-reading my description makes them sound hideous, but trust me...they rock. I have worn them with pants & jeans all summer long (when it's cool enough). They were on sale for about $45.

The other is a $10 wood bead necklace from Claire's. It's long enough that I can triple-wrap it (ala FP), and I've worn it to death this summer.

just a thin cotton scoop-neck t from the Gap. Its long but has cap sleeves and is a lovely coral color, the cotton is so soft I feel like I've worn it 1000 times. I almost returned it until my mom convinced me that it looked good (I thought it was too baggy but it shrunk to a perfect fit in the wash) now I wear it all the time.

A brown a-line skirt made of sweatshirt material - I wore it non-stop (50$ at an indie designer event). A vintage-inspired necklace with big round cream beads (10$ at TJ max). Obviously I don't like spring/summer styles as much as I love fall!

I love these...

I realize they're not everyone's style, but they were so great for me all summer.
