Pretty Collar On Sale

I dropped by Gap on 34th Street the other day, and was happy to find this blouse. You can't beat it for some ruffle trim:
It doesn't choke either. It's kind of the 17th century Dutch look (left, please) without the stifling, itchy looking collar. It's on sale for $29.99. And the grey skirt with the satin bow? $9.99. Look for these on the sale rack in the back.

And some extras:

I love this plaid skirt, on sale for $23.99. The black top that makes me look like a double wide is on sale for $20.99 & can also be found on the back wall, along with the basic grey top on sale for $9.97.










These short-sleeved jackets are $59.99. I'm not going to say they are great transition pieces, because if you work in an office building they are great anytime pieces. The long-sleeved striped top is $19. And the plaid...










No one who only has Irish men and women in her background should be wearing this yellow, but the ruffles are irresistible and it's on sale for $37.99. Cotton, not flannel.




This lone European Collection dress was found by the sale rack. I'm sad to say the EC is now available only online; this was returned to the store. It's a pretty and practical work dress that hangs big on me as it's an EC 12, so it fits like a 10. It's also $88, which was disappointing. I was hoping its proximity to the sales rack would make it $20.99.

It's really interesting how one top changes the look so much. I like you in both, by the way.

The plaid skirt is my favorite. I wish I needed clothes like that in my wardrobe.

All things you've picked look great, and you look great :)

I'm drooling over that dress. And grateful for its prohibitive price tag and far-from-me location.

That gap blouse is gorgeous. Love the way you paired it with that skirt. Nice colour as well. Wonder if we have Gap in Australia. I don't think so...tragic.
