Elite99: Swing Dress Review

It's Fri-YAY! Time for another dress review.  I'll be telling you guys all about an adorable swing dress (courtesy of Elite99) today on SS.  FYI: I've worked with them in the past; way back in the day. I didn't have a great experience back then, but thankfully they've stepped up their game.

This trendy dress is cute - think Wet Seal quality - but I feel like it'd look way better on someone skinnier because it's so voluminous.  Belting it would help, but I left it as is because I wanted to show y'all the natural silhouette.  I'm actually a huge fan of pleated pieces! I actually just bought a pleated maxi skirt at Charlotte Russe.  It was on sale for like $3 - thank you memorial day sales, ha.

TIP: When shopping Elite 99's online collection, pay CLOSE attention to measurements.  Items usually run small - asian sizes and US sizes are VERY different.  I remember my first time ordering stuffs from an Asian wholesaler - it was ridiculous.  I bought a pair of leggings (size small), and I couldn't even pull them up past my calves, ha.  I remember thinking, "WTF, how can a human being wear such a small size?"  Ha!  In all seriousness though, they do carry cute stuff!  You just have to be smart about it all.  It also helps that shipping's free.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns below.
Details, details, details...

Talbots Memorial Day Sale

I freakin' love Memorial Day sales!  I went shopping yesterday and hit up the local Charlotte Russe Factory outlet (for my LA trip comin' up) ONLY to find that they were giving peeps an extra 50% off on already reduced prices.  I bought 4 dresses, 2 shirts, and 3 skirts for under $50 (!!!!) Ridiculous, right? 

To my glee (and my wallet's dismay), I just got done shopping the Talbots sale - buy one item to get an extra 40% off and two or more to get an extra 50%.  I wish I could've bought ALL the fab pieces pictured below, but due to my budget I stuck with the two pencil skirts (polka dot & plaid) and the heart blouse.  If you're looking for workwear, I suggest hitting them up and stocking up now while prices are heavily discounted.  Their skirts and blouses are seriously legit.  Honestly, I like them better than J. Crew.  Bold statement but whatevs.  Just being truthful with y'all!

TIP: make sure you sign up for ebates HERE (I promise to love you forever if you use my URL - I get commission if you sign up through me) before shopping their sale to get cash back!  You get 2% sent back to you - hey, every bit counts!
