On a recent trip to Houston, Texas, my sister re-introduced me to the retail greatness that is The Limited.
Admittedly, this is a store I’d usually pass up without a second glance, having only shopped here for internship workwear way back in the day. But my sister is a teacher, so after a dose of convincing, I followed her into the store like sheep being herded on a farm.
Pleasantly surprised is an understatement. Is everything in this store constantly on sale? (*Editor’s note: Case-in-point.)
I’ll be back soon to find out, but at any rate, my proudest purchase was this $12 striped skirt, among a few other items — including this scarf. Both pieces traveled with me to the Hamptons (where these photos were taken) as well as into my suitcase for this week’s West Coast client meeting.

I love those espadrilles. Wish I could wear ankle straps. My legs are too stumpy

LOVE that tank….it’s the perfect relaxed shape. Amazing for tucking in!

Yes, things are always on sale! I definitely did damage there when I first started shooting weddings and had oh, nothing in my college wardrobe appropriate for such occasions. Great find in that skirt!

Don’t you just love a good sale! The other day I went to Mexx (never go in there) and found a gorgeous fit & flare dress. Thought the sale was that items were all 50%, but turns out all dresses were $29.99. Weirdest sale ever, but hey, I’m not complaining! I got a $120 dollar dress for $29.99! I can see how exciting it would be to such a nice and cheap skirt, in a store where you wouldn’t expect to find anything!
Anyway, all that to say, you look lovely as always Hallie! Loving the loose fitting tank and the bright wedges!

I rediscovered The Limited last year after years of not shopping there, and it was amazing! I LOLed at the sheep herding comment, because I was the exact same way. I CANNOT get over the fact the skirt was $12! Such a steal, and a great versatile piece for summer!

I love this simple look. I totally agree about The Limited. I haven’t stepped foot inside a store in years and was pleasantly surprised that I ended up with multiple items on my Mother’s Day hunt shopping trip.. Oooopppsies! You are going to be able to wear that skirt with everything! Such a steal!

That’s what LOFT has sort of become for me- a go to for stylish, work appropriate clothes! I will have to check out the Limited!
