Gigi's Gear - When Doves Cry

The title should really reference the Loft sweater since that has a pretty rosette. But why pass an opportunity to reference one of my music heroes, Prince!



I felt great when I put on this outfit, so happy to top it off with my rumpled J Crew jacket from SP09. G Money said that he liked the outfit, but had to go and add that the jacket had a Prince flair. It was bad timing. I was running late, per usual, but he referenced Prince so I had to stop & do the step from the video (mute speakers as it doesn't have the original song, dance sequence at 3:21- 3:40). Prince lovers know that part at the end when he howls it out.



When doves cry...baybee! Baybee! Bay-bay-baaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyaaaaaay! Oh-ooh-whoah-ooh-whoah-oohhh-oooh-ooo-o!



I wore the jacket again a day or two later. The Prince comment was repeated. Had to do the dance, although running late again. Thank gawd I still have my balance. Next time I'll hide the jacket over my arm so G Money won't notice it. Speaking of Prince (sigh) I tell you, sometimes I really miss the music & times of the 80s. I saw Janet Jackson last week. I was hoping to write about it, but haven't had time. Maybe in the future. But back to Prince. I'm saving for the Purple Circle. I plan on dropping $700 without blinking to sit there next time Prince is in town.

p.s. - J Crew's Shelby dress is now $39.99 in-store.



p.s. X 2 - Talbot's 30% off in-stores & in outlets has been extended thru today. Look for the clear, lucite bracelets from the catalog ($19 and $24), sold out online. I found one square & one round in-store yesterday. Woo hoo!



Old Navy - BOGO 50% off begins today. Gap family cardholders can use their card for an additional 20% off STUFFSAVE. Both specials are good thru 5/1. BOGO not good on clearance. If not expecting, I'd look for the racerback tank in tie-dye pattern they're calling black stripe. And the tiered gauze skirt. This year's version looks a little shorter & more doable for me (5'2") than last year's floor sweeper.
