Before I had kids, I spent a lot of money on clothes. I was constantly shopping on weekends and in my spare time. I would spend hundreds of dollars on jeans, nice tops and shoes. Once I had kids, I became obsessed with their wardrobes and less about mine. Sure, I still liked to look nice in between my yoga outfits, but I could no longer justify spending so much money on myself.
So in the last 5 years, I haven’t shopped very much for myself, and when I do, I try to look for a bargain. One thing that hasn’t changed is that I like to still look good. Especially since my surgery last year, it’s very important to me to feel my best when I go out. I’ve mentioned before that it is hard to find clothes that fit my new shape. I look for tanks that fit higher in the armpits, clothes that draw the attention away from my flabby belly and round neck or scoop tee shirts.
Giant Tiger has been a place that I have shopped at for years when I’m up at the cottage in the summer time. There are always good deals to find on clothes and items for the home and cottage.
Someone mentioned to me the other day, that she was looking for a jumpsuit. Guess where I told her to go? Giant Tiger! I recently bought myself the cutest jumpsuit for the summer. The cotton is so soft, it’s something that I could wear all day! Not only is it perfect to wear while hanging out during the day at the cottage, but it’s great for when we go out for dinner to. The romper is flattering around the waist which I find is my biggest problem with rompers but this one ties in the right spot. The romper is part of the Lily Morgan collection that Giant Tiger is showcasing and at $16 it is an amazing price. I paired it with a big straw sun hat that was a steal for $10.
In my life, I have never worn white jeans before, but here I am in white denim capri’s by mySTYLE. These capris were my most expensive item purchased at Giant Tiger for $25. I love them for a few reasons. They make me look thin which is a win, but they are high waisted so it holds in my muffin top. There is also stretch in them, making them form to my body and super comfy to wear. I paired these white jean capris with a crochet front cami from the Lily Morgan collection. The cami was $14 and a super soft stretchy cotton making this outfit like butter to wear.
I know I love living in my yoga pants in the fall and winter, but I bought this super cute ACX skort and tank. The skort is gathered on the side and the tank has a built-in bra. The entire outfit was extremely well priced at $16 a piece.
With all three outfits, I paired them with mySTYLE flip-flops that have a bewjeweled flower. They are extremely comfortable to wear and silver so they match all the outfits. Plus they are an amazing price at $9!
I often find sizing at some stores difficult, because by no means am I plus sized but find their sizes to run on the small size. All of the items I tried on and bought at Giant Tiger were real sizes. I often had to go a size down which I liked! Thanks Giant Tiger for keeping the sizing true to real women’s sizes.
Be sure to check out the collections on the Giant Tiger website and connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.
