Elevated Basics

Thank you so much for weighing in on last Friday’s post (in case you missed it, check it out here).  Based on your feedback, I will be continuing with more brand-specific content & sharing the best items I’ve found at each retailer.  Today I’m focusing on Gap – right now you can get an extra 20% off your order with code FORYOU & free shipping with code FREEBIE (through 2/26).  If you happen to have Gap Cash to redeem (like I do), hopefully this will help you locate some great pieces to spend it on!

This jacket is such a gorgeous statement piece – I love that it’s a classic utility style, but the eyelet detail instantly elevates it & gives it a feminine sophisticated feel.  This would be great dressed up with slim cropped trousers & pumps or just layered over your favorite tee with jeans & flats.  Here are my favorites from their site:

Tops: this ruffled blouse, this tie-shoulder tank & this crocheted top
Tees: I’m a big fan of their basic t-shirts and if you’ve never tried them, I would highly recommend!  Check out this linen scoop-neck, this ballet back striped tee, this vintage-washed v-neck & this fun graphic tee.
Dresses: loving this Tencel wrap dress, this pleated midi & this tank dress (looks super-flattering!)
Bottoms: I have such a hard time finding shorts that are a more conservative length so I just ordered these & these to try – most of their shorts come in tall & petite too!  I’m also on the hunt for new white jeans so I’m interested in trying theirs – these, these & these all look like good options.
Outerwear: this white denim jacket, this draped trench & this utility jacket (so pretty in pink!)
Sleepwear: I already own & love this pajama top and matching pants & now I’m eyeing this embroidered cami and these eyelet-trim pants (so cute for summer!).  If you’re looking for comfy loungewear, try this cute bralette, this Modal top & these lightweight joggers.
Activewear: these high-rise leggings, this printed sports bra & this strappy tank
