Chico’s Semi-Annual 50% Off Sale

It’s that time of year when Chicos and many other retailers are starting to mark down their summer merchandise.

Most of these items are marked down.

Black and White with a Pop of Red

This look combines my favorites – classic black and white with a pop of red. In this picture I am wearing the tank out. It’s tunic length.

Touch of Cool Leaf Print Tank (size 2)  | DeFine Me Denim White Crops (size 2.5) | Beaded Drop Earrings (similar from Amazon) | Beaded Coil Bracelet | Fringe Thong Sandals | Wreath (10% off until 7/31/22)

This picture shows you how long it is in the back – plenty long enough to cover what you want to cover.

You could definitely do a front tuck with this tank. That is not usually my favorite look on me. So instead I use these handy scarf rings from Amazon to cinch up one side. This defines my waist a bit and I like the look.

Set of 5 scarf rings.

Then to change it up, I added my trusty denim jacket. Because even when it’s 107 in Houston, the AC blows COLD inside and you need a little something to cover your arms. I have had my denim jackets for several years and they have been the best investment pieces. I wear them year round.

Talbots has several styles of their denim jackets on sale here.

I like this tank especially because you can wear it year round. In the fall, pair it with black pants and a black or red blazer.  Black and white is a canvas for so many different looks.

I’m wearing the red beaded earrings I received with my Chico’s order. They must be sold out because I couldn’t find them anywhere on their site. But I found this pair exactly like them (and a lot cheaper) on Amazon.

This Beaded Coil Bracelet is so pretty. It’s all one piece and would go with so many things. For the sale, bracelets are 2/$45 or 3/$49.

These Fringe Thong Sandals in Flame Scarlet will add a pop of color to any summer look.

Flaming Red – Two Ways

For this look, I kept the white crops and and fringe sandals and added the Pima Floral Pocket Tunic in Flame Scarlett.

Added accessories were a Kendra Scott necklace and earrings that were in my closet.

This look keeps the same Pima Floral Top in scarlet and adds the So Slimming Girlfriend Pom Pom Crops.

Completing the outfit are the Seashell Slide Sandals and Wicker Braid Hoop Earrings.

Here’s a look at the pom pom embroidery detail on the crops. So cute.

The Sea Shell Slide Sandals also come in black. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know that my shoe size is 8WW. These slides DID NOT fit me well. However, if you wear a regular M width, these will be just fine for you.

The Wicker Braid Hoop Earrings came in this set of 4 from Amazon. One of my favorite purchases of the summer. As of today, this set of 4 earrings is just $12.99. Since this whole wicker/rattan/straw thing is what I consider a TREND, I like that I can add a trendy item to my outfit without breaking the bank.

I’ve worn all three of these earrings all summer. And gave the one with the tassels to my daughter. Everybody wins!

Which look do you like best?
