Raid My Closet: My Purchases for This Spring/Summer

I've been trying to be good lately and not shop too much, which is why I haven't posted about my purchases recently, but I thought I'd go ahead and post what I've acquired recently (although some of these purchases go back to January!). They are, however, mostly purchases that I made with Spring and Summer in mind. And just to show you that I heed my own advice, I've divided them into categories so that you can see which Spring/Summer 2011 trend that they relate to. Although you can also see that while I try to keep up with the trends, many of my purchases reflect my personal feminine style. Keep in mind that nearly all of these purchases were also made during one or more of the sales that I have posted about on this blog and/or with one or more of the discount codes or coupons that I've posted so the prices below are not what I actually paid.

Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Trend: Bright Shifts

Another big trend on the SS2011 runways were shift dresses in bright solid colors (Above: Prada; Michael Kors; Burberry Prorsum; Calvin Klein).  I love this trend because I love color and I love dresses and shift dresses are extremely comfortable.  Plus, the monocolored dress provides a nice background to show off your fun statement jewelry.  Plus, shift dresses are work appropriate but can also be worn casually on the weekend with a ponytail and flats.  You likely already have a shift dress in your closet, but in case you don't and you want to give this trend a try, below are some options to consider:  ASOS cutaway a-line tailored shift dress for $71.72 on www.asos.com; ASOS ruffle front tailored shift dress for $71.72 on www.asos.com; ASOS tailored empire seam shift dress for $80.69 on www.asos.com; Maggy London zip trim jacquard shift dress for $148 on www.nordstrom.com; Tibi zip ponte shift dress for $293 on www.bloomingdales.com; Lilly Pulitzer "Lela" daisy-lace shift dress for $328 on www.bloomingdales.com.
