Mini ROSS Haul

I recently when on a mini shopping trip to ROSS and got some goodies. ROSS is a chain of off-price department stores. While the clothes are extremely discounted, some of their stuff is very trendy, in season, and all together cute.  Sometimes, they have extremely discounted prices on brands that one would have to spend a fortune on. Some brands include Jones New York, Calvin Klein, and Adidas. The clothes I got on the particular shopping trip are all off-brand, but cute nonetheless.


The first thing I got was a black maxi-skirt with colorful Aztec print. Usually when it comes to bottoms, I'm a small, however, I got this skirt in large. Why? Because the small and medium were a little too tight around my bum and it was basically see-through. I would wear this with a black tank top or t-shirt tucked in, or tight crop-top in any color. I would also wear this as just a bathing suit cover up (for just the bottom).


The next item of clothing I got was this crop top. It's a light pink, flowy crop-top with a scalloped edge on the bottom and cut-out, lace detailing on the shirt itself. I like this with jeans or high-waisted shorts. I would, however, advise wearing a bandeau with something like this, because it is very sheer, and the underarm area is cut pretty low.





The next top I got is also a crop top. I'm sure you'll be able to tell I am all about the crop tops right now. This one is a mint-green color with the end of the arms and the bottom of the top scrunched. I think this gives a "Princess Jasmine" look to the shirt. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to wear this yet, but I'm thinking with the previously mentioned maxi-skirt, tucked in.


 The last thing I got is a dark turquoise dress that is 3/4 sleeves, cinches in at the waist and at the end of the arms, and flows out. This dress is great for both spring and summer since its 3/4 sleeves, but it's light weight enough that I don't feel hot or heavy while wearing it. I would put a long beaded necklace with this and nude wedges, or a cute pair of brown sandals if I'm going more casual. This dress is great for almost anything, whether it's a nice dinner, a graduation, a wedding. You can dress it up or down. It's all-in-all a very versatile dress and it may be my favorite thing that I got, and I actually wore this to my cousin's U.S Naval Academy graduation!
