I'm on the lookout, but haven't seen anything yet. Although, I did get a dress from Boden earlier this year that I love, and I may get another of the same in a different color or pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer/page/2#post-2561482 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 15:13:46 +0000 LibbyLou 2561482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought two pairs of "girlfriend" jeans at the gap in a light light wash! Obsessed.<br /> And of course restocked my sundress and rompers too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer/page/2#post-2561468 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 14:40:53 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2561468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: No, I've tried on a few tops/dresses at Zara, but have never checked out their denim. Thanks for the rec, I will take a look next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer/page/2#post-2561289 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 11:15:34 +0000 Boogs 2561289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Any great makeup finds? My face accidentally tanned some and I just new stuff that's actually the right color lol.</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: I love all those pieces!</p> <p>I bought a couple tops and pairs of shorts. Also got a new swim outfit I super love. I could use a new pair of more dressy everyday sandals, but no luck so far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2561213 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 09:36:18 +0000 Anagram 2561213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought 2 pairs of cheap sandals on sale at Target and I bought a pair of $5 shorts at Old Navy. So far that's all, but if I find any other good deals, I'll get those too. I could use a couple more summer shoes and definitely need some more summer clothes that are my current size, since everything pre-baby 2 is too small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2561141 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 08:07:06 +0000 lilyann 2561141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Have you tried Zara? I saw quite a few cute pairs in there over the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2561087 Fri, 03 Jun 2016 06:24:18 +0000 Alba4 2561087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing clothing and pants/skirts with elastic waist bands. Sexy, I know!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560755 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:49:29 +0000 periwinklebee 2560755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My summer wardrobe is in a bad place, especially work clothes. I got to work yesterday, looked down, and realized there were two little pinpoint holes in my skirt - yikes...Summer shoes were also completely shot. So far I've bought a pair of black ballet flats to wear to work, a pair of yoga mat sandals from amazon for casual wear, and a couple of new tees. I'd like to find a new skirt for work, and really need a new pair of jeans, but I'm going to try to hold off on the latter as we're TTC and I'd rather not have any pre-pregnancy jeans to have to worry about fitting back into :silly: </p> <p>I don't exactly have a capsule wardrobe, but close, and have been super-selective about what I buy. I love having a small wardrobe that I adore, but it makes shopping a pain. Beyond the above, I bought about a zillion things from nordstrom online (free shipping, free returns!) the vast majority of which went back...</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: Those pieces are awesome - so cute!</p> <p>@looch: We got an athleta catalogue in the mail yesterday, and en route to taking the junk mail to the trash, I glanced down and thought "wow, this catalog looks like it has super cute stuff." I may have to check it out further... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560744 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:29:12 +0000 erinbaderin 2560744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had a bit of a spree - 2 pairs of shorts, some chinos, distressed cropped jeans, 2 tank tops, and some Birkenstock Madrid sandals. I'm in a weird postpartum place where some of my clothes fit fine and some feel like they'll never fit again so I needed some stuff to get me through the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560741 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:24:46 +0000 autumnlove 2560741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want some new dresses and shorts but I want to lose a little weight first.</p> <p>I like buying makeup right now. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560740 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:24:33 +0000 psw27 2560740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love some new tees and tanks that work well for work and the weekends. I also would like some more t-shirt style dresses for the weekend, although short dresses are hard with a toddler. Maybe I should hop on the romper trend too?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560732 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:15:31 +0000 Ms maths 2560732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I new pair of shorts (Riviera from Loft) and a few new t-shirts from the thrift store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560729 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 13:10:53 +0000 brownepiano 2560729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a thrift store half off sale and picked up some shorts and really light weight shirts with buttons for nursing. Problem is, I am due any day so I had to guess on sizes! I think I'll be back in regular clothes before the heat of the summer is over and I only had 1 pair of shorts. So for $10 (for all of it) if they fit I will be thrilled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560689 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:32:04 +0000 petitenoisette 2560689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Yea I still really like the concept for my work clothes but I never had any time this Spring to work on it! I spent hours on it before the Fall at the end of my maternity leave. :silly:<br /> It's really changed how I feel about my clothes, how I shop and also not feeling guilty about getting rid of clothes that don't work anymore (or never did...) and I think that's really the point even if I don't do a true capsule anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560681 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:26:06 +0000 Modern Daisy 2560681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at the end of my pregnancy right now so not too much. I finally broke down and bought the jack Rogers sandals I had been pining over when they emailed me a 20% off coupon. i keep looking for cute maxi dresses but most of the ones you can actually wear a bra with seem to be sold out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560673 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:22:16 +0000 looch 2560673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: It's funny you mentioned that the capsule didn't work for you...it didn't for me either, because i needed too many versions of capsules to make it work. I do the same things as you do now, just making sure what I buy works with other things I own and that they're wearable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560670 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:19:50 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2560670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the hunt for some cute distressed boyfriend jeans. If anyone has recommendations, I'm all ears! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560659 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:08:13 +0000 petitenoisette 2560659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I too think I might jump on the romper bandwagon this summer! I picked one out from ON yesterday but waiting for a sale. I realized that I always side-eye fashion trends initially (like skinny jeans, leggings as pants) but then jump on eventually! </p> <p>This is the first summer I'll be chasing around my LO and I'm on school vaca so I am focusing on comfy stuff that I can run around in. So I just ordered some athleisure type shorts. I have to see once I get them what kind of shirts I'll wear with them and if I need to pick up a couple. Got a new pair of flip flops. I want a pair of gladiator sandals but haven't pulled the trigger yet and I probably don't really need them so we'll see. I need a pair of slip on shoes but hated the Toms I just ordered so back to the drawing board there. </p> <p>I was really into capsule wardrobing this fall but I don't feel like the concept works very well for my summer life so I'm mainly focusing on not overbuying and making sure what I do buy really makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560656 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 12:07:01 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2560656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: "oversized tee for women" in a tall from old navy. I also got two looser peplum tops from old navy that I think will life up easily and be forgiving on my stomach! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560643 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:54:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2560643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like some cuter tops but everything has to be nursing friendly and easy to wash so that limits it. I would like a new pair of shorts, though finally some prepregnancy ones fit! </p> <p>And I need new sneakers and want new sandals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560596 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 11:01:48 +0000 tinyperson 2560596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought some old navy tanks for nursing this summer...that might be it for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560583 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:50:15 +0000 Alivoo01 2560583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Mind sharing what tees you bought! I'm in need some for breastfeeding/pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560555 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 10:30:09 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2560555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got some salt water sandals and some looser light tees that will be easy to life up for BFing. I'll probably need to order some shorts once baby arrives as I doubt I have any that will fit right after I have this baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560519 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:42:26 +0000 MrsKoala 2560519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got two pairs of sandals:<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-lilac-gladiator-sandals/-/A-50294255" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/women-s-lilac-gladiator-sandals/-/A-50294255</a><br /> <a href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/SHOESANDBOOTS/sandals/PRDOVR~E8248/E8248.jsp?color_name=english-saddle" rel="nofollow">https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/SHOESANDBOOTS/sandals/PRDOVR~E8248/E8248.jsp?color_name=english-saddle</a></p> <p>And that's it. I'm going to be pregnant all summer so it's not worth buying anything that's not maternity. I'm lucky that some of my friends let me borrow their summer maternity stuff so I'm all set until postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560514 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:40:08 +0000 LulaBee 2560514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bought some new running shoes so I can hopefully buy myself some smaller clothes this fall! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560505 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:29:39 +0000 yoursilverlining 2560505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: @MoonMoon: They are so flattering on, and I love that it sort of looks like a short dress/skirt but you can pick up LO's and bend over without worrying about displaying the goods. I'm looking forward to wearing them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560487 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 09:12:03 +0000 catlady 2560487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably a few new dresses, although I may wait a bit to see if I will actually need maternity ones for the summer or if I can get away with normal ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560466 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:55:05 +0000 ShootingStar 2560466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to be super pregnant this summer, so I haven't bought much. I got a couple pairs of maternity capris so I have something to wear to work when it's 90+ out, a pair of chambray maternity shorts, and some stretchy t-shirts from Target that fit now that I think will work well for nursing post partum. I have less than 11 weeks of pregnancy left, so I'm done buying maternity clothes now. Everything will have to work pre- and post baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560460 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:49:36 +0000 avivoca 2560460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't purchased anything yet, but I think I will need to soon. My maternity wardrobe is very slim right now and I don't have a lot for either work or weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-buying-for-summer#post-2560459 Thu, 02 Jun 2016 08:49:23 +0000 MoonMoon 2560459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: preach! I want to try a romper too, and they can be so flattering! </p>
