Side note: Chapter 8 of Somewhere In Between Us has been posted. It was an incredibly difficult chapter for me to write so for those of you who are reading my story, I would really love to know what you think of the latest chapter.
Has anyone checked out The Gap recently? Seriously, it has got some GREAT stuff right now.
Most of you know I am a Banana Republic, Nordstrom, J. Crew wearing kind of girl. Typically I only shop at The Gap when I am in need of basic items like camis, t-shirts, and shorts, but after taking a trip there this weekend my opinion has completely changed.
I saw no less than twenty different items I would immediately buy if I was either Ms. Moneybags or married to Daddy Warbucks.
Right now, The Gap has an AWESOME collection of both casual summer dresses that would be perfect for lounging around on a Saturday afternoon and fancier dresses that I would definitely wear to the next installment of Champagne Thursdays.
Take this dress for example:
Wouldn’t it look awesome paired with a silk scarf? I thought so, hence why it, as well as said scarf, are now hanging in my closet.
I also picked up this dress in both the royal blue you see pictured as well as one in white and gray. I wore it this past Saturday night when Mr. M and I went to dinner with friends! I love how it is a halter dress, but still nice enough to wear to out on one of our weekly date nights.
Sadly, my face and hair were not doing this dress justice so what remains is a picture of myself looking similar to those creepy ass mannequins you see in store windows.
What is even more tragic is that I was not able to find this dress online which means that you’ll need to hit up your local Gap to buy it. The dress comes in four different colors so there are choices to fit every personality.
I also picked up these black Bermuda shorts and royal blue top. I actually wore both to work today, and when I arrived home I was pleasantly surprised when Mr. Mojito told me I looked hella sexy! It totally made my day!
Seriously, go there. Now.
You can thank me later.

Are those the hip slung bermudas?? I think that’s what they’re called…I bought them in 3 different colors…looove them.
1. i looove the gap!
2. nice kitchen
3. you also look nice!
4. i got on gap’s mailing list cause they asked for my email address once. now about every 3 weeks they send me coupons…like 20 to 30% off new lines or shorts or, most recently, dresses. you should try to get on that because it is fantastic.
oooooh love the new threads and YEESH at being married to daddy warbucks! haha
You look fab in the cornflower blue dress, love it! I also ADORE how Americans call it THE Gap, here it’s just Gap.

CUTE stuff! I haven’t been to The Gap in quite some time I may need to check it out. Those dresses are so perfect for a summer night out. I may have to hit up my mall this week!

I love the gap!
I tried on the second dress is pink a couple weeks ago, but it wasn’t on sale….Is it on sale now? If so I am definitely in the market for some fun dresses….And I am going to break down and try bermuda shorts…not normally a shorts girl, but I am going to give it a try!
Cute! I was just telling my husband that they seem to be getting back to the classics a bit more at the Gap. They went through a bit of a too trendy period for me, but maybe they’ve caught on now. You look great – and don’t you ever cut your beautiful face off in a picture again!
You’re right, The Gap is so hit or miss. There are times that I go in and there seems to be nothing on the shelves. I do love that first dress, it seems perfect for summer days!
oooh what fun stuff for summer…I loved Chapter 8 and can’t wait to see what’s next!
what a find! i’m taking myself to the gap again!

Seriously so cute!! I’ve had that same experience with Gap. It’s either fabulous and I want to buy everything or it’s horrible. I love that halter dress!

I feel like the Gap is kind of like dating. You find what you were looking for when you least expect it…when I go there looking for something specific I never find it. But, if I just pop in randomly I love everything!
I just bought that blue dress from the Gap for Gator games! yay! we could match…
love the racerback dress!
p.s. you hate blue food, but you love blue clothes. interesting, huh?!
adorable dress and so glad you got it! i think it looks fabulous on you! i saw it the other day and said, just lose those 10 lbs, Summer and you can get it.

I am in LOVE with this dress! I posted that it was the piece everyone should have in their closet! I also LOVE the blue dress you purchased as well as the grey and white. I had to pick between the two and the purple empire waist tank dress won. But it was the perfect victory outfit yesterday watching the Lakers game
