Quick Link: MJRSales.com Resells Returned Clothes!
Do you ever wonder what happened to that super-cozy, mustard-colored, cable knit sweater you had to return because it was a little too big? What happens to those clothes? Do they go where thoughts & jokes go? What is consciousness?
Well, I have the answer to most of those questions (I don’t know where thoughts & jokes go):
MJRsales.com
In this magical place that we’ve been keeping all to ourselves for over a year, you will find everything from Victoria’s Secret bras to Steve Madden shoes on this site. When products get returned, they end up here, and for a tiny fraction of the price. This MODA Cable Knit Sweater? Originally $59.50… is now $8.93. Brand new, with a minor snag on the sleeve. Can’t deal with the tiny flaw? There are plenty of options on the site that are completely defect-free, like these New With Tags skinny jeans from The Limited for $10.93?
But be prepared: MJRsales is basically an online TJ Maxx – you have to dig. Products are listed by individual size (for example, the sweater on the left will link you to the product page for the sweater in a size large), so if you have a lower tolerance for treasure hunting than you do passion for a good bargain – this probably isn’t for you.
If, on the other hand, you get butterflies in your stomach at the idea of brand new clothing for less than $10 – dig in.
How To Wear Neon (According To Internet Fashion Hivemind)
Whenever I’m not sure how to wear something, I either tap it into Google’s megabrain, or head straight to Lookbook.nu, where 9 out of 10 times, I will get the answers, satisfaction, and eye candy I need to get me through the day.
I’m interested in neon, but not sure if it’s something that fits into my ~style. I love how these girls wore it, though!

A Delicate Dream… Is Splitting The Bill For A Mother’s Day Gift
Like the good Internet Person that I am, I forced my boyfriend to take an Etsy Taste Test, and fully expected him to nearly die from excitement at what an awesome and time-demolishing toy I’d shown him… but alas, I think that being obsessed with Taste Test is something only some people experience. At least I know now.
Anyway, after his long (LONG) and careful (VERY THOROUGH) assessment of each panel of the Taste Test (CLICKING EACH ONE AND GOING THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE SHOP), we arrived at his “Stuff You’ll Like” page, which included the magical, hand-painted tea set you see above. Because he has awesome taste (to be expected, thanks), this went immediately on my Favorites list, and I forced him to sift, painfully, through the rest of his results. There wasn’t anything quite as good as this set! I think I also like it because it reminds me a bit of Shel Silverstein (remember Where the Sidewalk Ends
This is the exact type of thing I’d love to give as a gift… aka convince my siblings/friends/significant other to split the bill (which is a bit heftier since it’s a set).

Wednesday Wedgie…: Bright Red & Strappy
Let’s cut to the chase: we messed up. Again.
Yet another Monday goes un-wedgied, and you’re right, this is unacceptable. How is one supposed to manage this life without a weekly, scheduled dose of delicious wedge candy? You’re not. No one should have to endure that, and for this, we are eternally sorry.
Fortunately, we were able to dig up this bright & fine specimen in hopes that it will brighten your day, as well as your opinion of our posting consistency… Not a bribe, I swear! Just a peaceful display of our gratitude for your patience.

You Only Need These Three Skirts for Summer (Everything Under $40!)
In my life, at this moment, a great skirt trend is occurring. My brain has its own fashion week and sartorial anthropology council and everything. Right now, skirts are kiiiind of a big deal.
Hi-Low Skirt
(Left to right) Planet Gold Chiffon Hilo Skirt, $16.99; Angie Asymmetrical Woven Skirt, $24.99; Planet Gold Chiffon Hilo Skirt, $16.99, Planet Gold Chiffon Hilo Skirt, $16.99
I’m completely nuts over this cut. I think it’s super flattering while still being really versatile and a little edgy (but mostly really fluid). As you can see, I think about this semi-frequently. I love high-low! What can I say?
PS… They’re also being called “mullet skirts” which apparently makes them cooler?
Maxi Skirt
(From left to right: Old Navy Drawstring Slub Maxi Skirt in Feldspar, $29.94; ModCloth Gradient Works Skirt, $37.99; Old Navy Ruffled Maxi Skirt, $25; Old Navy Jersey Maxi Skirt, $24.94)
You may find yourself becoming moderately dependent upon maxi skirts due to their pants-free nature and tendency to feel exactly like pajamas… And that’s okay, since there are several of them available right now, and they happen to be very en vogue. Yeesh, I’ve never said that phrase before, and I didn’t like it. I don’t think I’ll do it again. Now my mouth tastes like soulless print media, or an Ask E. Jean column.
Jen and I went to Old Navy a few days ago to check on their everything. It’s always such an awesome place to go because the prices are so comforting, and the construction isn’t crappy. We peeked at three out of the four maxi skirts above, and wholly approve! (The patterned one is particularly cute, in person…)
A Flouncy Skirt of Sorts
(Clockwise, from top left: ModCloth On An Escarole Skirt, $34.99; TopShop Pink Ombre Skater Skirt, $36; ModCloth Herb All About It Skirt, $39.99; Old Navy Smocked Chiffon Skirt, $22.50)
Everyone needs a flouncy, vibrant summer skirt that will send some cooling breezes straight to the thighs on a hot summer day. I am heavily drawn to patterned styles lately, while Jen is craving something long, and solid-colored to augment her summer wardrobe. Whatever happens – let it be girlish, somewhat voluminous, and totally fun. Pair it with boots, sandals, sneakers, sweatshirts, sheer tanks, a bathing suit… Whatever! As flouncy as your judgement during a summer fling, that’s all that matters.

Spring For Pastels: Lightweight Lemon Yellow Jackets
I can’t tell you how happy I am that people are starting to wear color again – bright color! Pastel color! Neon color! It’s an exciting time in the world of Wearing Clothes. I would like to kick of celebration by parading around my favorite barely-colored jackets…? Don’t ask me how it works, it just does.
I’ve been pining over yellow everything for a while now, and these two jackets keep popping up in my life… I think it’s a sign.
TOPSHOP Ponte Boyfriend Blazer $70
What a great color! Super light yellow goes with more than you’d expect, color- and pattern-wise, and everything you pair this with will feel supremely Spring-y.
Tencil Jersey Panel Biker Jacket $90
Look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t kind of love this. The pairing of a sugary-sweet lemon yellow with something as rough & tough as a biker jacket totally makes me happy. Doesn’t it do that to everyone?
Would you wear a yellow jacket?

Summer Staple: Chiffon Camp Shirt
I saw so many things when I spotted this shirt. Tucked into a solid-color skirt, tied up over some high-waist jeans, hanging lazily over cut-offs, and almost always with a headscarf and big sunglasses. I love the idea of making such a utilitarian shirt out of something as delicate and soft as chiffon… It gives you an instant femininity augmentation. Please note that the semi-sheer quality of this fabric is just begging for your favorite bikini top (or best bra, don’t be coy) to be worn underneath.
