Fantasy Friday: AE

Back when I was swimming in money (read: when I was single), I took it upon myself to spend money about every weekend. And my store of choice was American Eagle. I would drop $40-$80 on the weekends. Mostly shopping clearance, because things went on sale on a regular basis so it was worth it. I bought one of my most favorite pair of sandals there...I miss them so. Anyway, thinking of a simpler time I decided to highlight AE and all there "all-American" goodness. FYI, AE has sizes all the way up to 18, which is SO awesome that they have fashion available to every size, there's nothing I hate more than to find a website that I like and it only goes up to "L" or "32in" barf...we're not all waifs.
Onward:
Are these not the cutest bermudas ever?! There are a few different styles with this great dark rinse. They aren't that expensive $34.95 (not bad for great quality). These would make the best summer shorts because they'll go with everything. I love classic style. Another great summer purchase are these plaid trouser shorts. They're a little fun/different and can show some of your awesome personality. These would look so cute with a polo or just plain tee. Keep it simple up top if there's a party on the bottom. I totally made that up, it was awesome. $39.95 This would be a great cover-up for your swimsuit! Such great colors and it also comes in a green combo with turquoise, so fun. This would also just be a great summer dress with a Shade shirt underneath. I love the color blocking in this dress, usually I'm not a huge fan of the color block but the cut of this dress is simple and the colors are very complimentary, I love easy. $49.50A great example of easy weekend style are all the great graphic t's that AE has. They're easy to layer and have a great laid back style. I think they are a very college girl style but when I see someone who is over college age wearing one of these, I think that they have a great casual style, like they were very cool in college and can take that style on in their family life. It's just one of the many assumptions I make about people and the clothes that they wear....I'm full of them. $19.50 (and they always go on sale).Love this shirt! It's a great summer shirt and it comes in 3 other colors. This would be great with shorts, jeans, a skirt. It could be dressed up for church and casual for summer lovin'. Love everything about it, plus it's the dip dyed style that is very "in" right now. $29.50 Make it yourself! Seriously, you can make your own polo. You can choose the color, the size of the eagle and the color of the eagle. I choose the heather grey and a medium sized yellow eagle, easy, breezy, summer style. $34.50These are the boyfriend jean, love it. Super comfy for summer nights watching the stars or making smores. You thought I was going to say making out, didn't you? I thought about it. $24.95Love these shoes!! They are the all trendy "gladiator" style and these are GREAT! Easy, comfy and so cute, so, so cute. You can pull this off without looking crazy. $39.50I just put these in because they're cute and aren't expensive, $29.95, for cute espadrilles is a great price, plus they're eyelet, who doesn't love eyelet for the summer season?Fun jewelry, you can get it all at AE.Love these shell earrings, very beachy cool.

So I didn't realize till yesterday that I didn't do a Fantasy Friday last week...sorry. Totally spaced it. I've been stressed...I'm not sure with what but I've felt stressed.
So hopefully AE day made up for it. I really love AE clothes, I love the easy style, the prices especially sale prices are amazing (I got a charcoal peacoat for $40, orig.$140! and I STILL wear it, grant it it is a bit snug but I can still wear it, that's all that really matters.).
Peace out, have a great weekend and I'll be putting up the rest of Elle's b-day pics some time this weekend...maybe. Out.

Cute styles! I think I put a total of $27 in my bank account when I worked at AE... the rest went in the closet.
