Splendid & Ella Moss Tops from eBay!

I've been super bored at work, so other than facebooking, I'm browsing on ebay and other shopping sites all day.  I didn't know ebay was such a great place, to be honest.  Lol.  All I've really used it for has been to buy/sell Lululemon.  But I discovered that you can buy brand new with tag Splendid tops for a lot less than retail!  I love Splendid!!  They are always made of the softest material, and made in the USA.  But they are pretty pricey normally.  So I'm glad to have found 2 super cute shirts and 1 dress on ebay!  I also found a very cute Ella Moss top as well.

Here's the Ella Moss top, it is yellow with white lace on the front.  Super soft as well.  It was only $9!





I love the nice yellow color, and the back is super pretty.  It's a great casual top to throw on with shorts or linen pants like I have above!  I just love being all summery.

I got this awesome two layered Splendid dress for $8 lol:


Wearing Lululemon faded zap Free To Be bra under!

So the inner layer of this dress is ribbed, and the shoulder straps are twisted.  I love it!  It's sooooo comfortable on, and it drapes so nicely without being tight.  Perfect for a day dress or to dress up a little with a pair of fancier heels on.





Next, I got this very cute white adjustable tab sleeve top:




I'm wearing a black bra under so you can see that it is semi-sheer.  I think it looks good with shorts or casual bottoms, but I can also wear it to work if I put a tank under it (and iron the wrinkles out lol).  I can even put on a bright colored tank under it and have the color show through a bit.  Will be so fun!  This one I spent more on because there were some bidding competitions lol.  Ended up paying $22 for it.  Still way cheaper than retail!

Lastly, I got this gray cowl neck top.  I already wore it to work once.  It is sooooo comfortable!  It's like wearing pajamas to work.  At the same time it totally looks acceptable as work clothing.  This brand is seriously amazing.  I have loved all my dresses and wrap/tops from Splendid.





Again, this top can be worn casually as well.  I just really like the material and fit.

If you haven't tried on Ella Moss or Splendid items before, they run pretty true to size.  I got size small in all 4 of these.  I think my goal is to buy a little bit less workout clothes and more pieces like these.  This thought stems from the fact that my dressers (3) are overflowing with workout clothes, and my closets are filled with clothes hanging up, half of them are workout type of tops.  I made the mistake of compiling a spreadsheet with all the items that I own, and there's a good $15k worth of stuff just sitting around.  Ahhh!  I really need to downsize!  I've been thinking of starting a for sale page on this blog, for things that I've never taken tags off, or that are worn once or twice.  Or just stuff that no longer fits or I no longer want.  If only I can get the time to do that!  It will have to be a project.  =)

  2. I haven't read your blog in a long while. I was surprised not to see pictures of Whiskey, or mention of your husband. Then I saw some a post where you expressed difficulty with your marriage. I am so sorry you had to go through that. Having been through it myself, I understand. Anyway, you have such a great sense of style, and I love reading your Sunday funday! I love seeing your workout outfits, and I envy your great physique-your hard work really shows, and inspires me!

    1. Aww thank you! Yeah it turned out that there were issues that just couldn't be worked out and so it is over. I truly believe that it's better this way, just wish these issues would have surfaced sooner and had not gone through with the whole wedding thing. But, live and learn. No more Whiskey unfortunately. =(

  4. Hi! What bra are you wearing with that Ella Moss top? You look nice and supported from the front (hehe sorry!) but still don't have any weird straps to take away from the gorgeous back of the tank top.
    Thanks!

    1. I'm actually wearing just a Victoria's Secret strapless bra that I got a few years ago! I just wore it lower so the back wouldn't show.

    2. Thanks! I never thought of just lowering the back, what a simple trick :)

  5. You have a wonderful blog here. I enjoyed it very much. Could you please do a comparison of the various crops that you have from various brands? Each piece is quite an investment and it would really help! Thanks in advance!
