I think I have spring fever. I shouldn't be spending money on things I don't need to wear yet. I know this. But I hate pants! I love skirts and dresses. Sometimes you just have to jump on an opportunity when it presents itself or you might lose out completely, right?!
I haven't really purchased anything from Banana in awhile. They got expensive and I got bored. Then suddenly, a few things caught my eye for work. Sometimes, you just need some new basics.
I loved this polka dot dress the minute I saw it. I didn't love the $130 price! So I waited. Then it wasn't available (and/or not in my size). But one day, poof! There it was. For 30% off. I jumped on it. Glad I did too! The material is great + it's flattering and comfortable.
I was happy to see the a-line skirt make a comeback too. (Thanks for the tip, Melissa!) Pencils don't love this hippy body. It's such a PITA for me to buy them and then have to go get them taken in the waist because I have to get them larger to fit my monster hips. While I know this is basic and boring, it's a black skirt that will go a long way.
Then there was this dress. Blech! While I love the colors, it's freaking 100% polyester! Even at 30% off, it wasn't worth its price tag when the quality was something I could get at Target or Kohl's for a fraction of the cost. Plus, it was pretty sheer too. It's getting returned.
I'm getting so tired of my winter clothes. It's the time of year when suddenly the winter blahs set in - even if our winter hasn't been awful. Come on, sunshine!

LOVE the polka dot dress!!!
Those are some really cute outfits. I like the polka dot dress, not that I'd wear it cause I'm not a dress kinda gal :/
Polka dot fo sho. I too am just itching for spring. Such cute finds :)
love the polka dots!
Stores have sooo skimped on fabric b/c cotton prices rose so much last year. Huge bummer as a consumer! Even before though, Banana seemed to be getting expensive and boring. But I've always loved their jewelry and that print dress is adorable!
I totally have spring fever! Love these prints and styles!
I am with you 100% ~ I want to break out the spring wardrobe so badly! Could it be that this extremely mild winter is just making our spring fever that much worse ~ it's the "so close you can taste it" syndrome :)
I'm so ready for warm weather! I love your blog!
