I am thrilled that long tops are all the rage. After having four kids, my mid section needs to remain well covered. The fad of low rise jeans and tummy tops were a lethal combo for anyone with less than perfect abs. I admit I still wear some of my Citizens low rise jeans, but I make every effort for my shirt not to rise .I have always worn long tunics and caftan style tops. I used to be able to find these on sale racks...that was before long tops were in. Now I struggle to find the balance between looking like I am in style, versus looking like I am in a maternity top. (I fear being asked when I am due...so never having another kid. ) I also love wearing dresses over jeans. This is a combo that works for Moms. I can bend over, sit on the floor, be warm at the park, all while sporting a new dress. ( Pre-schoolers have always worn their dresses over pants- what trend setters. ) I plan to enjoy wearing these big tops all spring and summer. Just do not ask me if I am pregnant, I am just trendy !
I feel to old to be shopping at Gap. I am a big fan of their cute ballet flats. At Gap prices, I can add to my ballet flat collection without feeling too guilty. I have also worn their favorite t's for too many years, and love them. I do check out the racks for trend items. There is no point in spending alot of money on a style that I will wear for one season.So with a hint of Spring in the air, I decided to see what trend items I could find at Gap. There was quite a selection. Loved the dresses! The dress that I bought was not online- I looked for a photo. It is a thin strapped denim dress that I can use now with shirts and footless tights, and in the summer all by itself. I tried to buy the French cuff dress/ shirt, but only small sizes were left. (A reminder that I am too old and too big for Gap.) I will continue to check the racks, and mix my Gap finds with my more expensive investment pieces. Okay, the word piece seems a bit much, but...
