Pink Party Pumps

It's my birthday and I'll wear what I want to.  There were several comments on my Barbie shoes today.  I would have never ever worn these shoes when I was 20 and they would have been appropriate.  One of the best advantages of old age is doing whatever the heck you want.  Only 364 days before I hit the big 5-0.  My husband thinks I will cry :)!

I picked up this denim shirt at the J. Crew Factory this week-end for about $35.  I missed this top at the retail store and then could never catch it in my size on pop-backs, so I was happy to see it show up at the Factory.  I would say this top runs true to size to a little large.  I wear a 2 or 4 in numerical sizing and this is a small.  There is no button or zip so I think a XS would have been tough to get in and out of and I wanted to be able to wear a shirt under it like they show on the model on the website.  This top is kinda tunic-y so I think it will look cute with shorts and sandals too.

 I also bought the Raindrop Lace top in Neon Azalea for about $35.  After much stalking I was able to get the retail version of the Raindrop Lace in navy, but could never catch the pink one in my size.   I can see no difference between the factory version and retail version.  The factory version even has numeric sizing.

 It was my lucky week-end at the Factory store.  I also love that the Factory will stack promos.  Most everything in the store was 30-40% off.  They were handing out 10% coupons at the door.  And I had a 20% coupon from my last online order.
