It’s really only been this past year or so that I’ve become
acquainted with the brand Madewell! They do subtle muted colors and stripes so
well. Their designs are very American like but always have what I call a slight
international twist. However, some of the pieces can be expensive. I have been
lucky enough to find a couple tops that totally seem to be dupes for Madewell.
Take this top found at TJ Maxx, it was only 12.99 and the peplum hem and roll
up sleeves is so cute. Such a simple jeans and wedges outfit and got lucky to
get these photos a few weeks back with the sun was shining and it was 50
degrees.
I can’t believe it’s the last Wednesday of March. April be good to us and Bring a SPRING to last awhile.

Now these stripes are perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteThat's the best $12.99 top ever! Great find. Did you like the new Roseanne show? I forgot to watch it. How fun to pick posies with your mom. While I'm sad to be past winter (my favorite season), I do love spring flowers.

That mushroom chicken looks really good! I can't wait to see your outdoor space, & for the weather to be nice for y'all so you can use it! Have a wonderful big city getaway!
ReplyDeleteI love the high low hem on that top and it looks like a perfect outfit for bebopping around town. Have fun in the big city this weekend, though I know you will! Have a lovely day <3

We loved the new Roseanne too! Had us laughing out loud, and I think the entire cast looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat top is a great dupe! I've been eyeing that Madewell top forever. I love me some baseball but definitely prefer the warmer games. Hope your guy has a super season!! And a trip to the city sounds like a blast. Have so much fun!
ReplyDeletethat pineapple sweater - YESSSS
ReplyDeleteI thought Rosanne was so funny last night - maybe she can tread political waters in a funny light to try & ease some tension in this country.
You are so adorable every day! I really like the red and white peplum top and I also like the chambray with the hat! So cute!! I know you must be so excited about the pool. I continue to want one but my husband just doesn't. Darnit!
ReplyDeleteThat top is adorable! I love the lace up detail and peplum hem! I wish I had more time to get out to stores (although my wallet is fine with the way things are right now, haha!). I need to check out those tacos! They look and sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really want to give the show Rise a try. I loved Friday Night Lights, and I think it's the same producers. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeletethat top and those shoes!!!!! LOVE
ReplyDeleteCute top!!! I am super excited about your Matcha Latte how to - I have always wanted to try one of those!
ReplyDeletelove your new top! I have seen Madewell, but thought they were pricey!always great when you can get a similar look. you look darling with the jeans and sandals.. yeah for warmer weather.. its 75 today! love the pineapple trend too, my aunt collects them!

I started watching Rise too. I wonder if I'd like Sneaky Pete! I love that pineapple top. I also love shopping at TJ Maxx - great find on the Madewell look alike!
ReplyDeleteI like a lot of Madewell clothes but usually can't afford them. I wish I were good at finding dupes like you are! Kendi Everyday posted a skirt that I really want from Madewell yesterday but it's $98!
ReplyDeletePineapple top for the mega win! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI've never gotten any Madewell clothes because...price. But they are all so cute. Love finding dupes, although I'm not good at it, usually someone else finds it and then I just go get it :) Happy Wednesday friend!
ReplyDeleteTJMaxx is such a great place to find so many good things! This top is so cute on you. I haven't pulled the trigger on any Madewell pieces yet. I love that you enjoy the birds chirping too. So do we, and every time the boys hear one they say, spring is coming! Sierra~Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteI loved the Roseanne reboot last night too. I liked how they just picked right up like it never went off. We hit 70 today with 80 tomorrow! I wish I could send you some of this for those baseball games. You're gorgeous! xo
ReplyDeleteThat little top looks so cute on you. I hear you about Madewell. I don't even think that their sales are that good. Have a wonderful Easter, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThat Mushroom Asiago Chicken looks yummy! Ohh, I bet you are excited about the big pool install. How fun!! I LOVE that pineapple shirt, for some reason I just love neon yellow! I love to browse at Madewell, but I've never purchased anything there. That striped peplum top is the cutest on you! I really need to make a trip to TJ Maxx!

I love the peplum top. nothing like a good TJ Maxx score! Those Asian Tacos sound so good as does dreading nothing! Yay for a birthday whisk away!
ReplyDeleteI love the peplum tops and got myself two in the past week and I also love the ruffle sleeves. You must be quite the cook, your food pictures are always delicious looking and I can almost smell them. :o)) And, your birthday, what a special day, I'm blessed to be getting to know you. Blessings abundant dear girlie!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of peplum tops and the red & white strips matched with denim jeans does make for a fashionable patriotic outfit! Gosh that pineapple sweater is so cute and looks fab on you! I love finding deals at Kohl's and using their coupons to mark the price tag down significantly. Those patio pillow bring the perfect pop of color and style for your patio area! Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteThat striped shirt is so cute and totally looks like a Madewell dupe :)
ReplyDeleteI like your top even better than the original Madewell one! You rock it so well!! Omg, pool!!! I know where you'll be this summer! Paradise in your back yard! I think you need one of the big Lilly for Pottery Barn flamingo floats!! Or-- even a flamingo drink float!!! :)

I really thought that was a Madewell top at first! I had to go back and reread what you wrote--love it on you! And I'm so excited it's finally baseball season! I know you're the prettiest baseball mom out there!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
I cannot find a peplum top that hits me in the right place. This one is perfect on you! So funny, I saw those lanterns at Kohl's and totally thought of you!
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that top in a shop, I would immediately think of you! It's perfect on you, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI bet you're super excited about the swimming pool installation. I hope it's nice and warm where you are now :)

I love Madewell too but it is a splurge. Yay for finding some similar styles. I have their Transport leather tote and it's held up amazingly well over the years. It's still super popular! I"m going to check out your Vegas tips. I've never been there but my husband has been a lot and says we have to go together some time. Those baseball games must be chilly but it must be so much fun to watch your pitcher! I'm loving Roseanne and Rise too!
ReplyDeleteAdorable outfit! Blue and white is a favorite combination of mine. Can't wait to see your finished patio and pool. Hopefully we are finished with nasty weather. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love it when you can find a perfect dupe at TJMaxx! Madwell does have some really cute pieces, but their prices can sure be up there!

I LOVE Madewell! I bought this top with a birthday coupon, and it sold out so fast! :( This is a great dupe and looks so cute on you.

I love everything about this outfit! But I especially love your shoes! I have been looking at some that look like these, but haven't decided on a pair... Plus, where to wear to? I don't get out much. Super cute outfit though. Pinning for inspiration.
