best memorial weekend sale codes for an affordable wardrobe


I wasn't going to do this - which you can soon decipher as I am about three days late. But like everything I swear off doing, I see others doing it and I want to slap them in the face. However, we made a pact, you and I, after this post, that no violence shall come to anyone in the blogosphere no matter how desperately cliche and transparent they are in their methods to take over the fashion world. How would one do such a thing? By calling themselves a "fashion blogger" in order to solicit free wares and whore out on discount coupon codes every freakin chance they get so advertising dollars pour in from debt-free readers who believe any recommendation from such a prestigious source will do miracles for their status and personal style. Congratulations to them and all the drones that will be shopping from them. Why are those readers drones? Well, if I see one more comment a la, "Oh my gosh love that color on you..thanks for sharing!! xoxo see my new post" I think I might climb a cliff, get my cardio on, then jump off (die fit). I mean do you really want to be told to shop at Claire's this weekend? It's like going into a shop, you know, and being stalked a little too much by sales girls on commission that tell you neon harem pants would look fab on you. I think even when I was young enough to wear Claire's I still broke out in hives every time I passed by it in the mall. #justsayin

Here is what I won't be doing on this little minimalist wardrobe building blog: there will be no links displayed with their pants down if I have not checked each and every url myself, nor shall anything be included that wasn't clearly affordable before the damn consumerist holiday, and needless to say I am not a drone nor a pimp so I do encourage you to take advantage of my hard work, due diligence and conscious curation because these are pretty great deals that I plan on actually using myself (I did the full on 18 browser tabs open shenanigan last night with many abandoned online shopping carts from my indecisiveness). No gun to head syndrome here. Sit back, grab a beer (right!) and stock up on some affordable clothing essentials because a mean, lean wardrobe is nothing without them.

SALE: shop organic by john patrick spring collection



Thank goodness it's Friday dolls, because I need a good staycation. If you're in New York too, go see if FOS Living down in Long Island is as fabulous as it sounds. Just discovered it yesterday and the owner is a powerhouse of knowledge. I doubt you'd leave there looking anything short of A-list. And speaking of lists that are unnecessarily elitist, let's celebrate the birth of the weekend with a new treat just for you shall we. Introducing {VIP} Fridays. Every week I'll get a little schmoozey with my most beloved (and relentlessly background checked...I can't help it!) eco-style and ethical fashion brands in order to bring you exclusive access to generous sales (because frugality is my best quality). Only once a week though, as we wouldn't want you over-consuming like some chick on a bad episode of the TLC hoarders show. And with that, I am pleased to kick it off with a deep discount over at Organic by John Patrick, the epitome of high quality basics for the Lillie girl who wants her wardrobe as pure as the Virgin Mary, and then some. You caught sight of me in their signature white linen mini skirt in this minimalist wardrobe building exploration here but I even love how chic it was styled for their runway show and lookbooks above. Whether you're a Portland hipster or uptown pearl girl, the pieces are so classic and versatile with a little something something for everyone. Ahhh that crisp linen...

These are some of the pieces I tried on, and as luck would have it, this brand is so far reaching that small boutiques stock it everywhere. Go figure. One point for local organic fashion. My faves were the organic cotton button-down even though I had trouble figuring out how to wear it while not being a waify supermodel or even shorter yet artfully chic like Anna Karina (but really, wouldn't we wish to just be Lauren Hutton and call it a day!) and their leathered up elbow patch sweater is so luxuriously high quality I could run it over with a 4x4 every weekend and it'd probably still hold up gracefully!
