Ok here goes another shopping spree! I went to Calvin Klein with my friend who works for the company, and he gets me 40% off, including sale items. We do this about once a year or so, and naturally each time I take full advantage of it. So I basically bought everything at the store that I liked! Probably spent 4 hours there. The items turned out to be 10-20 dollars a piece, which is such a great deal! I swear I never saw a receipt so long in my life. We bought about $1k worth of stuff, but also a lot of things for others/Christmas presents. But here are some things I bought for myself! I can't even find everything I bought for myself from the Calvin Klein website. I think I got a lot of already 50% off items that have been long gone from the website.
This two-tone surplus knit dress is pretty great. I love the style and the light gray/dark gray combination. The belt it comes with is a velvet-y gray/black leopard print belt. It gives the dress some sass! The material of this dress is super comfy, it's like sweat shirt material. I love that. It drapes well because the material is heavier, and it doesn't wrinkle at all. I'm wearing it right now! I usually wear a size 2 in Calvin Klein, since the brand runs big, but the smallest size the store had was a 4, and it fits so I went with it. This dress was originally $140 but is not on sale for $60. Great deal even without my friend's 40% off in addition! This was the single most expensive item I got.
I also like this color-blocked pencil skirt I got, in white and black. It's also a very comfortable material, but not as thick as the dress, and might wrinkle more. I haven't worn it to work yet so I don't know for sure. But I like the white and black colorblocking with black on the outside. It's very slimming! This one runs larger for sure. I got it in size 0. This one is also on sale for $39 right now.
The second most expensive item I got was this shiny striped roll-up sleeve blouse in black. I like the subtle pin stripe type of lines on this shirt. And the style/color is a no brainer. I don't wear it buttoned all the way up like the model though. I typically leave the top 2 or 3 buttons undone on my dress shirts. This shirt is still $50, on sale from $70. I got it in size XS, it fits.
Next I got these two essential cardigans in black and tan, mostly as something to throw on at work if I get cold. They are very thin and long, with pockets. I love pockets. I seriously wish the two-tone surplus dress I got had pockets too. These cardigans are a great deal right now - only $19, down from $59. So I basically spent nothing on them after my 40% off. But right now online they only have it in yellow left. I got both of these in size S. XS probably would work too but they didn't have that size left.
I also got some more casual stuff, but I think this satin collar 3/4 sleeve polo shirt can serve as both casual and work wear. I really love the color of this top, it's in "light purple", although it looks more like a blue to me. It's a pretty flattering fit because it's long and has a little bit of stretch so it hugs the figure well. This was also on sale for 20 bucks. I had to pick it up. Got it in size S.
Last but not least, I got these super comfy performance lounge pants, also now on sale for $20! They are black velvet material, pretty cute actually. I got them mainly for lounging around in my hotel room for when I go on vacation where it will be super cold! I got these in size XS and they actually fit very well. The legs are a straight leg style fit, and they are not too wide legged. They are about an inch too long for me though, but I could always get them hemmed or just roll them up. Very happy with these.
