I just got home from Christopher & Banks Spring Style Show and OH MY GOSH was it amazing! First of all, the whole store is on sale for 25% off and models in the show received 40% off so basically everything is a steal! I am in love with all of the Spring colors and patterns that I spent the morning with. I wanted so much more than what I actually ended up leaving with, but let's take a look at my haul --
Outfit #1: Mint & Blue
I have had this outfit on hold for weeks so I am beyond excited to say it finally made it to my closet! The lighting in this photo is awful, my apologies. You cannot tell, but these amazing ankle pants are navy. Aside from Pixie Pants, I will only wear C&B Signature Slimming Bengaline Ankle Pants. Despite my height, I always buy these pants in petite so they are more of a cropped fit. If you want a true ankle pant, stick with whatever you would normally buy (average for most). This Geo Tee is stunning in person -- the photo really does not do it justice. And who can buy a partially mint shirt without picking up a mint Perfect Cardigan (they're calling it Aqua and unfortunately this color is sold out online, for your shopping reference).
Outfit #2: Peachy
I know, I know, I have this sweater in three colors. I cannot help it. I love it so much that I literally buy one each season they come out with a new color combo. Trust me, I would have snagged the purple one too if they would have had my size. So, it goes without saying that the Draped Blocked Cardigan is a must-have. I picked up another pair of Bengaline Ankle Pants in black, as my current pair has seen A LOT of use over the past year. A note on sizing/fit: these are pull on and they do stretch out a bit as you wear them (not in a hideous gapping kind of way or anything) so I do recommend sizing down one size. I also snagged this khaki Satin Trim Tank since it was a perfect match to the cardi, as was the beaded necklace pictured. Oh and in case you were wondering -- these supercute wedges are also from C&B. They are not online anymore, but you can likely find them on the clearance rack at your local store. For the record, I love all of their shoes and I am going to be serious disappointed if they plan to eliminate the line entirely.
Miscellaneous Purchases
Somehow I managed to escape without any scarves (a miracle), but I did add to my out of control jewelry box. In addition to the necklace I already linked to, I also purchased the medallion necklace in Outfit #1 (I would have linked to it, but I could not find it online). I also snagged two more rings (you know, those addicting ones they keep right by the register so you literally cannot checkout without buying one...or at least I can't).
My only real "splurge" was the French Terry Jacket. I typically only buy clothes for work, but I could not resist the heathered navy/coral combo...not to mention it was unbelievably comfortable.
If we are being honest, I would have spent WAY more had their been more smalls in the store. Usually my store only gets one small per item so if I am not in the store the day it comes out of the box, there is a decent chance I may not get it at all...and I simply hate ordering clothes online (other things, sure, but clothes I want to try on). But you know what? My bank account is happy it played out this way haha. For now, anyway...I don't know if I will be able to stop dreaming about the floral jacket if I don't order it.
If you shopped the sale today, what did you get?
