mother's day

Mom and I spent Mother's day doing what we do best.... bargain hunting at Ross! We love this store full of hidden treasures. While I can't help wasting money on designer duds, I'm also a sucker for a good deal and Ross is just the place to satisfy this appetite. Not everything in Ross is a hit though, it's usually a miss, but occasionally you find things that you can't live without (perhaps) and the best part is that it was only $9.99!!! The thrill of the hunt is absolutely addicting. And I must add, that their home section is pretty rad.

So yesterday, all the pieces I got were no smaller than an XL from the missy "department". Sometimes you just have to give things a try and it works out surprisingly well.

This crochet cardigan is a size XL. I just removed the button and turned it into an oversized wrap sweater. I was thinking I could also use the skull broach from my previous blog to fasten it shut at the bottom so it would have sort of a cocoon shape. I'm wearing it over a James Perse tank, & f21 shorts with jeffrey campbell platform clogs & a beaded head band from Target.

Here's a missy 2XL shirt, which I suppose should be a fitted top, but works out perfectly as a oversized mini tunic for me. The husband can't stand this one, claiming that it looks like some thing I could find in Chinatown market between the bamboo dim sum pots and canvas slippers, next to the lycee envelops. Oddly enough, that's what I like about it.... the old lady-ness of it. I'm wearing it with a head band from Target and jeffrey campbell platform clogs.

This "find" is from the swim section. It's a 2xL swim cover up, that works out to be a lovely duster. I adore the oversized, fall-off-your-shoulder drape. I felt the urge to try this season's "disheveled bun on top of your head" look. I'm wearing it over a Clu tunic with a necklace from Target and Steve Madden blue suede shoes.
