Capsule #3 / Outfit 12
This outfit is so. dang. comfortable. Don’t be fooled by it’s dressy + cute appearance. It’s so easy + comfortable, I’d compare it to throwing on workout clothes.
It’s no secret that I shop at American Eagle a lot. I fully understand that it’s a store targeted at teens, but even still, I always find something I love for a great price. Enter this high neck, brush stroke tank top. I did a double take when I saw it and scooped it up right away. I knew I’d made the right decision when I walked into Anthro a few minutes later and saw a top with almost the exact same print for 4x the price.
Top: American Eagle
Bottom: Madewell
Shoes: J.Crew
Bracelet: Francesca’s (similar)
Bag: Marc Jacobs

July 15, 2014 at 10:19 amI’m not sure if this will really make a difference to you or not, but I interned at the AEO headquarters about a year ago and one of the things they really emphasized was that their target was actually the 18 to 25 group, not the high school market. After working there, I really did start to notice the shift in clothing. Also, I love that top (and my go buy it for myself now)!

July 15, 2014 at 12:09 pmFunny you said that because even in my 50’s I find I love American Eagle. I just got a baseball shirt (really for guys but the sales guy promised not to tell) and I’ve got other top, sweaters there lately too. My son and I go in together!
Cute outfit, BTW. I absolutely live how pared down my wardrobe s now. Initially it’s work but it really pays off.

I love ae for jeggings. Fabulous fit and so affordable. I also love their tomboy jeans. I’m 37 so I guess they are branching upward:)
