Gap send around an e-mail (without any pictures, so the one above is from t he website) announcing that they have added new styles to their spring sale section. They have added quite a number of things, and some items are on a pretty good discount.
Express is running its "Shop the Box" sale, and has just taken new reductions. Savings on the items are now up to 70% off. The last time I was at Express, they hadn't taken these reductions yet, but there wasn't much selection - just multiples of an item in the size box (for example, 10 of the same t-shirt). There is a pretty big variety online though, but still nothing that really catchs my eye.
American Eagle's Ruffle Floral Tube Top (item #0363-9369) is currently on clearance for $14.95, for an original price of $24.50. It comes in yellow (with blue accents), pink (with orange and grey accents), and grey (with other grey accents). AE describes the top as such:
Flirt your way through every spring party.I'm not the biggest fan of tube tops on myself, but this one look really cute on the hanger, so I thought I'd give it a try, especially after seeing it the past few times I've been in-store.
• Softest cotton modal blend
• Pretty ruffle on neckline
• Gathered Ruffle on bottom hem
• Watercolor floral print
• Hidden shelf bra
• Flattering tube top shape
The fabric is on the thinner side, but not so thin that it feels cheap or anything. This would be a nice spring (under a cardigan) or summer (alone) top. I think it's a nice, season-appropriate print.
I wasn't sure how I would like the ruffle on top. I didn't mind it too much, but I didn't really like the ruffle hem on the bottom. The ruffle/blouse hem is created using elastic, but I am not that crazy about the way it looks.
I don't think it's too flattering from the back, at least not the way it's sitting in this picture. I think it makes my upper back look a little broader than it really is, and I don't like the way the bottom ruffle is hanging on my waist. Based on this back picture alone, I am glad I left it behind.
