insomniac sale picks

*In this late-night feature – which will run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week – I’ll gather up three fun items that are currently on sale online and share them with you! I would LOVE suggestions: Stylish wide-width pumps? Classic v-necked sweaters? Chandelier earrings? Petite dress slacks? What would you like to see featured?*

Charlene requested a few picks for petite printed maxi dresses, so here we go:

Wallis Floral Print Petite Maxi Dress – was $78, now $63

This is a fabulously versatile print, in my opinion. The black and red mean it will transition into fall, but white, yellow, and green are also present in the print and can be pulled out to create spring-y and summery outfits. Plus I love those wide straps! Available in petite sizes 4 – 14.

Apt. 9 Petite Geometric Empire Maxi Dress – was $50, now $30

Or hop on the black-and-white pattern trend train with this surplice dress. Stick to black accessories for a classic look, or add red, turquoise, or pink accents to bring color into the mix. Available in petite sizes XS – XL.

Ann Taylor Petite Painted Herringbone Maxi Dress – was $138, now $71.99
With extra 40% off sale dresses (no code needed)

The simple, black belt and halter neckline on this printed maxi give it a polished feel. Add a white cardigan for a beach-y look, or dark blazer for a Casual Friday office outfit. Available in petite sizes 0 -12. (Sold out in size 2.)

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for petite printed maxi dresses:

1. Wallis – This site has an entire section of petite maxi dresses! And most are printed!
2. Macy’s – The longer I work on this feature, the more I’m convinced that Macy’s has lots of petite options. Including 70 maxi dresses.
3. Piperlime – Although several of these aren’t sized as petites, they feature shorter hemlines and might work on some petite frames.
4. QVC.com – Loads of solids, but cute prints, too, like this watercolor print.

Stephanie requested a few picks for medium-sized crossbody bags, so here we go:

Baggallini Dublin – was $89.95, now $67.46

This casual bag is constructed from lightweight, water-resistant nylon which makes it ideal for travel or for anyone with an active, messy lifestyle. It’s on the larger end of medium at 9.25″ x 3.5″ x 11″, but still very compact. Can be worn crossbody or same shoulder. Available in red, black, charcoal, brown, and apple green. Each color has a bright, fun contrast lining, too!

IIIBeCa By Joy Gryson Duane Crossbody Bag – was $158, now $105.86

This minimalist leather crossbody will endure beyond the crossbody trend. Smaller and a bit boxier at 10″ x 9″ x 4″. Available in coral, tan with neon yellow edging, and brown with pink edging. (This orange isn’t available any longer, but wanted to include the image so you could see scale of the bag.) Bonus: Three percent of wholesale proceeds from this line are donated to a trio of NYC nonprofits.

Fossil Maddox Twist-lock Flap – was $188, now $130.99

A softer shape that contours to the body, this bright bag is 11.5″ x 4″ x 11″. That chunky turn-lock keeps it secure, but also allows for quick access. Available in this yellow for listed price, black for $150.99, and pink for full price.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for medium-sized crossbody bags:

1. Fossil – In addition to the Maddox highlighted above, this brand has been churning out stylish crossbody bags for years. This one is such fun and comes in gorgeous colors. More options on Zappos, too.
2. Nordstrom – A variety of styles, sizes, and prices. This minimalist leather one is adorable.
3. Michael Kors – Spendy but lovely options.
4. eBags – Always check this site when you’re bag shopping! They’ve got 1,266 crossbodies of various sizes, shapes, materials, and prices.

Liz requested a few picks for detailed white jersey tops that will work with skirts, so here we go:

LOFT Eyelet Yoke Tee – was $34.50, now $29.99

With detailing at the shoulder line, this top will look fabulous tucked into a bright skirt. Plus the bright white shade and ventilation make it ideal for warm weather wear! Available in sizes XS- XL, and petite sizes S – L.

Ann Taylor Drape Neck Top – was $28, now $19.99

Or if you’re dealing with an over air-conditioned office, this simple long-sleeved drape neck is a great choice. With a slim fit, it will tuck beautifully, or order up for a looser fit and leave untucked. Available in sizes S – XXL, M-L in petite.

Charter Club Pleated V-Neck Knit Top – was $19.98, now $14.99

A V neckline and underbust ruching are subtle, but make this top more eye-catching than a plain white tee. Leave untucked and add a fun pendant to complete the look. Available in sizes XS – L in white, and 21 other colors. Wow.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for detailed white jersey tops:

1. Anthropologie – Home of the beyond basic top, with lots of darling options. This lace detail top is a great bet.
2. Nordstrom – Lots of basics, but more eye-catching tops, too. Love this twist-front tee.
3. Ann Taylor – Detailed white tees and tanks galore!

Rebekah requested a few picks for slip-style nightgowns, so here we go:

Make + Model Sweetie Pie Chemise – was $28, now $18.76

I love that this print is fun and whimsical without veering over into “twee” territory. It’s a rayon knit, so soft and drapey. There’s a yellow variation on this print and a yellow floral as well as solid coral, blue, and orchid purple. Available in sizes S – XL. Size availability varies by color.

Bay Studio Solid Pintuck Chemise Nightgown – was $28, now $16.80

Cotton! HURRAH! As a devotee of breathable cotton sleepwear, I’m delighted to have found this basic-but-lovely chemise to add to the mix. Simple and comfy with adjustable spaghetti straps. Available in coral, heather gray, and light turquoise in sizes S – L. Size availability varies by color.

Oscar de la Renta Sweet Dot Georgette Chemise – was $74, now $49.58

There are plenty of transparent, super short, and va-va-voom sexy chemises out there, and they can be such fun. But in my opinion, this one does a great job of sitting squarely between sassy retro and sultry. That’s definitely a deep neckline and the material is sheer, but it still offers coverage. Plus polka dots! Available in sizes S – XL.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for petite plaid blazers:

1. Wintersilks – I love them for their silk longjohns, but they have some really lovely nightgowns, too.
2. Macy’s – Many of the chemises are more lingerie than sleepwear, but lots of more nightgown-y options are available. Love this one. Petite and plus sizes, too!
3. Lord & Taylor – Who knew? Especially a good bet if you like the slip style but are interested in non-slippery/silky fabrics.
4. And, of course, THRIFT STORES! Well, mainly vintage stores. Used sleepwear may have a bit more of an ook-factor for some, but if you’re game you can frequently find gorgeous slips and slip-style nightgowns at vintage and some thrift stores. (thethriftshopper.com can help you locate stores near you.)

Marisa requested a few picks for closed-toe sliver wedges, so here we go:

Donald J. Pliner Cap-Toe Low-Wedge Skimmer – was $198, now $132

With a 1.125″ demi-wedge, padded leather insole, and on-trend cap-toe styling, these adorable shoes are a great choice for fans of the sliver wedge. Pliner is famous for designing shoes that are just as comfy as they are stylish. Available in black/silver and metallic tan/silver in Euro sizes 36 – 41. Size availability varies by color.

Rockport Alika Pump – was $130, now $97.50 – $129.99

A slightly higher wedge at 1.5″, but still fantastically walkable!. Rockport, too, is renowned for making quality, comfortable shoes. Available in purple snake print, cream snake print, and black leather in US sizes 5 – 11 including some wide widths. Size availability and price vary by color.

2 Lips Too Too Sliver – was $49.99, now $25.99

These guys have a 0.75″ sliver wedge so they’re bordering on flats! They’re also constructed from man-made materials, so vegan-friendly. Available in red, black, a black peacock/gold print, and a blue peacock/gold print in US sizes 6 – 8.5. Size availability varies by color.

Cole Haan Air Talia Wedge – was $178, now $129.90

This elegant 1.5″ wedge has a D’Orsay feel to its design. I’ve tried on shoes from the Cole Haan Air line and they are unfathomably comfortable, even when they feature towering heels, so I imagine these low wedges will be a dream to wear. Reviewers say this style runs a bit narrow. Available in US sizes 5 – 11. Also available in black patent for full price.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for closed-toe sliver wedges:

1. Hush Puppies – Most Hush Puppies flats appear to have a teeny wedge. Love these and know they’ll be comfy.
2. DSW – Lots of sandals in the mix, but plenty of closed-toe options like these understated wedges.
3. Lifestride – Basic, affordable, comfy low wedges.

Anna requested a few picks for maternity cardigans, so here we go:

Fit2BMom Maternity Maternity Cardigan – was $68, now $51

This simple, lightweight cardigan will layer up nicely for colder weather, but is also airy enough for spring and summer wear. Just add an eye-catching necklace to complete the look. Available in maternity sizes XS – L.

Ingrid & Isabel Maternity Fringe Cardigan – was $98, now $73.50

So I know fringe is  … well, a fringe trend. But I also know that a common complaint about maternity wear is that it is dull as dirt. So here’s a cardigan with a fun and funky detail! With the right jewelry and funky flats, it’d be fabulous. Available in maternity sizes XS – L.

A Pea in the Pod Elbow Sleeve Cascade Maternity Cardigan – was $59, now $19.99

Another complaint I’ve heard? Dressy options are scarce. This cardigan isn’t exactly black tie-appropriate, but it’s a bit more polished and sophisticated than your average maternity cardigan. And quite the bargain! Available in maternity sizes S – L.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for petite plaid blazers:

1. Zulily – This is actually a daily pop-up website, but focuses on picks for moms and kids. Cardigans aren’t available every week, but many weeks you can take your pick!
2. Old Navy – Anna was looking for cardis that might define her waist just a tad, and this option looks promising.
3. A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood – Options both cropped and long.
4. And, of course, THRIFT STORES! At least in the Twin Cities, most secondhand shops have a maternity section. (thethriftshopper.com can help you locate stores near you.)
5. I’m tacking on Japanese Weekend, a spendy brand I learned about through Narrowly Tailored. They don’t do cardigans, but S. looked so chic in her pieces that I wanted to include this brand as a general maternity resource. And you can find pieces on eBay, too!

Rebekah requested a few picks for edgy silver hoop earrings, so here we go:

Studio Silver Sterling Silver Hexagon Hoops – were $120, now $59

Edgy! Literally! Look at those edges! These minimalist hoops would look so fabulous paired with an asymmetric top or tunic and boots, or a graphic tee and boyfriend jeans. They’re 2″ long and 0.5″ wide.

Silver Plated Twist Oval Hoops – were $35, now $14

These thick hoops are fairly subtle, but that twisted detail is wonderfully sophisticated. These are 1.25″ long.

Genevieve & Grace Marcasite Oval Hoops – were $80, now $35.10
With code MOM

I’ve got a pair of marcasite hoops in my arsenal, and really love them. They’ve got just a hint of sparkle without being over-the-top glizty. This pair could go Gatsby glam – marcasite jewelry was big in the 20s – or punk rock funky. They’ve got a 0.75″ diameter.

Other not-currently-on-sale resources for edgy silver hoop earrings:

1. April Kawaoka – I’ve owned a pair of her Swirly Keen hoops for years and ADORE them. April’s designs are artful and edgy.
2. Alexis Bittar – Definitely on the fancy/spendy side, but so gorgeous.
3. Max & Chloe – Studded, bejeweled, and interestingly shaped silver hoops at a variety of price points.
4. BaubleBar – Budget-friendly options galore!
