Earlier this month I went into Ross looking for a few women’s items to add to my summer wardrobe. I was looking for comfortable casual pieces. Things I could wear all day around the house or while out running errands. I found several things and here’s what I purchased:

Floral print short-sleeve knit women’s top for $8.99. It’s a well-known name brand and extremely well-made. No flaws at all and it fits me nicely. I’ve been wearing this top with my light pink capris, white shorts, white capris and a light pink skort that I have. It works well with many of the bottoms I already have.

Striped women’s short-sleeve knit women’s top for $5.99. Again, it’s from a well-known name brand and made well. I’ve been wearing it with my white denim shorts, white denim capris and with my black denim jeans. Looks a lot nicer than a plain t-shirt!

Tie-Dye Silky Smooth Women’s Leggings were on sale for $8.99. Another name brand that many of you would be familiar with. They’re pull-on styling in an ankle length. They’re so comfortable and perfect for when I’m out walking, doing yoga or just running errands. They wash and wear so nicely!!! They pair wonderfully with workout capris, another versatile option for comfortable and stylish workout clothes.

Finally, I got a 6-pack of Kenneth Cole no-show women’s white socks. We all need to freshen-up our white no-show socks in the summertime! The markdown price was $5.99 for all 6 pairs of socks! I went back the following week to get more and they were all gone. Shucks, I could of gotten more for Christmas gifts for my daughter and granddaughter. Sigh.
