{recap} Wardrobe Update - August 2026

You may remember last month I did an outfit post and included a dress as an option for recreating the look. I couldn't help myself and bought the dress, ha ha! This brings my Edun dress collection up to 4! what can I say, I know what I like. The seller sent me an offer for $17.50 (it was listed for $25) and that was too good of a deal to pass up for an Edun dress! I actually found a photo of someone wearing it to the Spring 2012 show at New York Fashion Week and the print seems to be part of the Fall 2012 collection, but this is a modified version of the look.

My obsession with sweater tanks also continues. I prefer them to tees in Summer so I'm growing my collection. Tried on 3 on a recent trip to Marshalls but only 1 was good enough. The second was too short and the third was weirdly bunchy in how it fit on my body.

And Disney & Old Navy got me. They made a super cute Fall Mickey Pumpkin cardigan! I actually ordered 3 different sizes because I wanted to see if I could fit in a kid's size and got an adult one as backup. I tried a Kid's XL Plus, Kid's 2XL and Adult PS. The 2XL ended up being the best fit, but they were all very close in size. I also prefer the kids sleeves and the fact that the center pumpkin is not cut in half like on the adult size. When I ordered I had a $20 off of $50 purchase so I also grabbed some tees and a tank to save me $60 on the purchase. Then I returned the 2 other sweaters and ended up spending $38.11 on 4 items when just the cardigan would have been $39.99 ($49.99 if I got the adult size.) Now that's shopping smart!
