The Lust List, Vol. 7: Stuff I Kinda Want

May 2nd, 2017 by Karen 9 Comments

the lust list may 2 dresses
Spring (dresses) on my mind

It’s 88 degrees here right meow, and when I looked in the drawer earlier where my summer shorts were supposed to be, I only found two pairs of jeans shorts…

Where the heck did my other shorts go?!? Did I Konmari them into oblivion? I can’t remember.

Anyway, the next most logical thing for me to do was to go online and look for new spring dresses, HAHA! Obviously.

So, these are all from Old Navy and LOFT, and the main reason for that is because both are within easy driving distance of my house (Vintage Oaks in Novato). And also because Old Navy has good deals (all their dresses are on sale online right now), and their dresses are machine washable.

Let me tell you, when your clothes almost always have baby food and/or cat hair on them, machine washable is VERY important.

All of these caught my eye for one reason or another…

  1. Old Navy Off-the-Shoulder Chambray Shift Dress ($37) — I love me some chambray! And I love the detailing at the bottom, but I don’t know if if I should “go there” with this dress, because I can see the Coywolf pulling down that top part while we’re in line at Target and exposing my bosom for all the world to see.
  2. Old Navy Fit + Flare Cami Dress ($25) — The cut of this dress might be a little too young for this 40-something-year-old gal, but I sure do love the tropical print.

    Eh, if you’re in your teens or 20s, you could totally rock this, and I’ll rock it with you in spirit.

  3. Old Navy Sleeveless Pintuck Swing Dress ($30) — Hello, yellow! So bright and happy. 🙂 I love the idea of this dress swinging in the breeze…
  4. Old Navy Fit & Flare Cutwork Midi Dress ($42) — I’m thinking that the length of this dress might make me look pint-sized, but oh, the color!

    Ah, imagine all the coral lipsticks you could wear with it…

  5. Old Navy One-Shoulder Swing Dress ($25) — Homegirl can’t say no to a good striped dress, or a ruffle, for that matter! This dress combines both.
  6. Old Navy Jersey Tee Dress in Red Stripe ($24) — If the ruffle is too much, and I feel like it would be on some days, this red and white striped number could be a cute alternative, yeah?
  7. Loft Bontanic Cold Shoulder Dress ($89.50) — The print on this reminds me of vintage china tea cups, which I’m fascinated by for some reason.
  8. Loft Lace Halter Dress ($118) — I love the deep teal, the lace, the cut and the halter neckline… I seriously love EVERYTHING about this dress. Thing is, OH! I forgot to mention that I never pay full price for Loft, ever, because they go on sale every other day. No, seriously. They run 40% and 50% off sales often, so if you see something you like, just wait for it.
  9. Loft Beach Floral Medallion Halter Dress ($59.50) — How pretty is this print? I think the burgundy would look * amazing with gold jewelry.

    * It would also conceal baby food stains well. #justsayin

  10. Loft Islander Ruffle Midi Dress ($69.50) — Baby food stains would be harder to hide on this white and khaki dress, but I like the thought of wearing this dress with a stack of gold bangles on both arms.
  11. Loft Plaid Flutter Dress ($79.50) — This dress looks so breezy and comfortable, ah… What a perfect Saturday dress.

That’s me! What’s on your lust list, babes? 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I’ve had a few of those Old Navy Cami dresses over the years, they’re pretty nice.

    I’m holding off on buying too many new things right now because I’ve been interviewing for jobs, *crosses fingers*

    Also it’s 45 degrees out today. The unpredictable Midwest…

    You should come to Manila sometime. We have plenty of those dresses, and all under $20 or less. There’s this weekend market that my friends and I go to every time, and we hoard a LOT of those cute dresses!

    I feel like I am not going to wear cute dresses anytime soon, it is cold and rainy here, but if I do mashinewashable and with a secure neck line is a must.

    I just had a minor windfall and bought the majority of mine, I got a button up dress from pinupgirlclothing, lancome matte shaker in beige vintage (these are my new favorite lip product), hourglass vanish stick, la roche posay sunscreen, jergens self tanner for wet skin, and physicians fomula butter bronzer. Happy retail therapy!

    You won’t be surprised to know that I was like “oh, #6 for sure. But not with horizontal stripes. Maybe in ALL BLACK!”. HAHA! I have a few items from Loft but am always disappointed in the fit, compared to Ann Taylor (I know… price matters). I just feel like everything I own from Loft has been asymmetrically sown so it’s always strangely twisted. Maybe it’s just me. Regardless, good luck with your shopping!!

    I love Target’s Kimono dresses. They can be dressed up or down and transition to fall or are a fine weight for spring too. Seriously, they are the best!

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
