**UPDATE**
I have been eying this dress and blouse (still haven't found blouse) and immediately put it on my H&M wish list. I was elated to find the dress in-stores in two colors (burgundy and red). I couldn't decide and didn't have time to try it on so I grabbed both and rushed to the register in complete joy. The size 2 fits me perfectly and I immediately feel good when putting it on. The stretchy crepe fabric is really nice and doesn't seem to be wrinkle prone. The decorative fabric around the neckline is so feminine and thank goodness it has concealed back zip. I am not a fan of exposed zippers so was relieved to see how sleek the design was. I love the fitted shape and can see me wearing it alone or with a blazer for work. The length hits right at the knee which is my ideal for me.
Style #: 024160 - size 2 ($34.95)
63% polyester, 4% elastane, 33% viscose
63% polyester, 4% elastane, 33% viscose
We got home late from celebrating our anniversary last night and I was too tired to try this on. I couldn't wait to wake up and see how the fit was. I didn't think I was going to keep both colors but I love it so much and the fit is amazing. I know that both colors will get a lot of love. I'll share more of my shopping finds from yesterday later on today (have to make breakfast for hubby) - just wanted to get this out in case you are heading out today and want to look for this.
***UPDATE***
Here a few random things I found yesterday that I think is worth sharing. 
Nordstrom Rack contrast blouse - $34.95 (see here for tag info)
Banana Republic Factory blouse {style# 220540} - size XXSP (on sale for $38 from $54.99) See it here tucked in skirt. The fit is really nice and is a great dupe to the J.Crew blythe blouse except it's polyester. The sides are slim and require no alterations which is a huge plus. I think it's still expensive for a poly blouse but I did purchase it.
The famous BR factory tweed belted sheath dress is back in stores! I saw this when I was in the Midwest but was too lazy to tweet about it but wanted to share in case anyone missed out last year.
Ann Taylor factory - size 00P {style #: 285566}
I must have been in a rush and not thinking when I bought this because I realized I have a similar skirt but in a jersey material from the regular AT. The fit is nice but slightly roomy in the waist. The navy crochet lace dress just like the cream version last year is on major clearance for $35. I couldn't help but take the 00P hanging on the rack home.
Zara skull and chain blouse - $49.95
Here are some online orders that I recently got:
Zara kids blazer - size 11/12
The fit is boxy and wide like I expected so will be returning.
J.Crew maritime-stripe blazer in navy - size XXS
I originally wanted the dragonfly blue but at the time I placed my order, it was sold out so I settled for this one. Low and behold, it popped back up and I was able to snatch it. I'll probably keep the navy/white since it will get more wear. I've been searching for a striped blazer ever since I sold my LOFT one last year.
Pleated polka dot skirt- size 00
The waist is really big- will be returning.
J.Crew Sydney patent sandals in neon azalea - size 5
I originally was stalking the bronzed clay (blush/nude) color but of course it was not available. I decided I needed a pair of pink shoes in my life and for $50, I thought this was a great deal for leather Italian sandals. J.Crew shoes run about 1/2 size smaller than Ann Taylor pumps which means the size 5's fit me perfectly!
And yes I am already wearing my red H&M blazer (same as yellow version) I was searching all over for. I found two extra blazers in size 2 yesterday,both were claimed for but now someone backed out so it's available if anyone is interested.
Have a happy rest of your Sunday! : )
