Have you ever gone into Express and seen the Portofino shirts everywhere (they just look like typical button-down blouses)? They are constantly in their emails and they come in about one hundred colors and prints. I have always wondered “what is the big deal about these shirts?!” Last time I was shopping on Express.com, I came across this floral Portofino shirt and I fell in love with the print. Let me tell you. Now I TOTALLY get why these shirts are one of their bestsellers. The fabric is very high-end feeling and has the perfect drape. They aren’t boxy like some button-down shirts can be. I’m not a huge fan of that style of shirt to begin with, so for me to love this one is a big deal! I love it tucked in the front with the longer hem in the back. I’m completely crazy over the print! I’ve never seen one quite like it before. (It also comes in a blue floral here!)
If you are a regular here, you know that I’m so excited that flare jeans are back! I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started wearing them again, and now I’m like WHY did I ever stop?! These flare jeans from Nordstrom are my favorite pair yet and under $60 (which in my opinion is cheap for jeans these days). I had to get them hemmed (of course) but they fit like a dream and lengthen my legs like no other! The light wash will go perfectly with light gray and ivory sweaters in the winter, too! If you’re in the market for a great-fitting pair of flares, I would definitely check these out!
Well, it’s Monday. My son’s 2nd birthday party is this coming weekend and I have a LOT to do still. Actually, I have everything to do still. Wish me luck because I’m majorly cramming!
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
