Express Tops & A Dress!

I received a discount card from Express in the mail, so I bought a bunch of stuff online last week.  I was actually hoping that I wouldn't like some of them so I can make some returns and get some money back.  But I actually love all of them and I am for sure keeping them!  Oh well, I guess that's a good thing!  So here's what I bought:

First, this Color Block 2-in-1 dress:

I've actually been eyeing this dress online for a while now, and now it's on sale, on top of my discount card.  So I bought it.  It's pretty cute!  I bought it in a size S, which I think I could have even gone down to XS and make the skirt portion fit tighter.  But I think it fits pretty well so I'm not going to bother exchanging it.  I like that this dress can be dressed up or down, and maybe even to work with a jacket over.  I see many options in the future.

I got these following 2 blouses for work which I LOVE!  I wore both of them this week, and I'm seriously considering getting more in different colors.

So first the long convertible sleeve easy fit blouse in ivory with black piping:

I actually think this blouse looks better in person than in the photo above.  It's a super cute fit and I love the black detailing button closure.  This top actually arrived with the sleeves rolled half way up and buttoned in place.  I like it like that a lot.  This is one that they make in different colors - all solids as far as I can see.  So I might just pick up 1 or 2 more!  Really love these types of blouses for work.  It's a bit see-through so you gotta wear a tank under.  The other colors may be ok.  I bought this in size XS and it still fits loosely.

This other top I bought is the Cross-Over Pleat Shell Top, in doll pink:

This top comes with the inner tank part.  It's a really nice and easy fit.  I like the draping in the front, and the color is very nice.  It's a soft powdery pink.  I can wear this to work or to go out.  I really like it.    I got it in size XS, and it fits fine. 

Next I bought the tank version of this same top, in lavish purple, I love this color:

The inner tank actually looks way more metallic-y in person.  It's got bigger silver sparkles.  I like it.  It's very cute.  Since it's a tank, I got it in size S instead of XS.  And I'm glad I did because it fits well!  I am seriously in love with this color.  I also see many different ways/outfits for this tank.

Lastly, I bought a casual shirt - the Wild Love Burnout Baseball Tee:

So it's just a casual shirt that I can wear on weekends.  I got it in size S since all the reviews say it runs small.  I like it.  The length is good, and the style is nice.  I wore it all day on Saturday and it didn't even stretch out or anything.  So that's a keeper for sure.  

So I spent $185 after taxes for the 5 items.  It's not bad, about $37 a piece.  I was hoping to save some money though!  But what can I say... at least I will get a lot of use out of these so I'm happy!
