I do quite a bit of shopping at the Gap. I’m being absolutely honest when I state that probably no other store provides more “bedrock” to my wardrobe. Really. For my casual, everyday wear its perfect. The clothes I buy there always look good and it seems the ladies in my life always compliment me when I’m wearing them. They always fit well, feel well made and are comfortable. All this and the Gap isn’t outrageously expensive. I ask you, what’s not to like?
There are times when I am at other stores, looking for clothing staples that I would normally buy from Gap, and I decided to purchase elsewhere because I perceive that I just found a really good deal. Often times I get the product home and I am disappointed with something. The feel, quality or fit. I find myself saying at these times “I should have just gone to the Gap”. I’m serious, I’m not making this up. This happened just last week when I purchased some underwear from a well know big box store.
These are the undershirts I know, love and should have purchased:
Ribbed Tank
I haven’t always been a fan of the ribbed tank undershirt, but in the past five years or so I have become an utter convert. In fact, these days if I’m caught without I feel rather incomplete (for lack of a better term). These are soft and always feel right, the others I bought last week felt…well rather cheap. The ribbed tanks from Gap come in black, grey and white. You get them in packs of two for $19.50.
On the topic of essentials, here is another: the t shirt. Same basic story. I always am very happy with the basic t’s I buy at the Gap. However when I purchase elsewhere I am often not. I need to learn my lesson.
Best Crewneck
On the website, in the product description they call these the “perfect T” and I daresay it might be true. I just love these things and no other t shirt in my closet seems to compare. They come in a whole multitude of colors, with some of the colors being heavily discounted. The price range currently spans from just $3.99 to $18.00. Though let me tell you, even at full retail price these shirts are more than worth it.
Yesterday I wrote about how picky I am about the jeans I wear. It’s true, I totally am. But do you know which jeans in my closet are my all time favorites? You guessed it, the ones I bought from the Gap.
Selvage Standard Fit (rigid denim wash) jeans
I love these jeans. These are made from Japanese raw denim that are designed to form to your body. They look and feel really good and I can’t give them high enough marks. Currently on sale for $69.00!

 It was a big Greek themed evening. Sara,myself, our friends Jill, Scott and Voula were all out at a Greek restaurant we heard excellent things about up in the San Fernando Valley. Jill and Scott were eagerly looking forward to their upcoming vacation in Greece and Voula who’s family hails from the islands and has spent many a summer there over the course of her life was giving them some pointers.
“…and another thing, they are very fashion forward over there” she was saying “They are up on trends way before they hit the States. I noticed ladies wearing those gladiator sandals in Greece two or three years before I ever noticed them here”. “Weren’t they wearing those things three thousand years before they hit here?”, I snickered.
Ahh those gladiator sandals. They have been a hot trend here for a good three or four seasons now, and their popularity doesn’t seem to be slowing down. They are still a cornerstone in this year’s spring fashion footwear offerings. In fact, they are starting to feel more like a mainstream basic than a trend that will disappear next season. The ladies just love them it appears. I understand why, gladiator sandals come in all shapes, styles, colours and heel heights. Not all gladiator styles strap high above the ankle or sport copper hardware. You can purchase a pair that are a little less “gladiator-esque” if you fancy a more timeless and pretty look. The style often looks very smart when combined with skinny jeans or clam diggers. I also like them with skirts and frocks because of the appealing contrast that is created between something very feminine and quite edgy. Add a well groomed foot to the equation and you’re in business. On a side note, gladiator sandals appeal to me because I like it when the ladies show a little ankle, gets the Victorian in me all hot and steamy. 
Check out the “Multi-Colored” Gladiator Sandals from the Gap featured above. (100% leather, wipe clean and imported)
Originally $39.50
Now on SALE for $29.99
Do you have your new springtime footware covered? You need to get that handled! We have some great Gap coupons available right now, and The Gap always has a wide variety of options for spring and summer. I noticed several varieties of gladiators in the $30 range on their website this morning. Oh come on, let your feet breathe, they deserve it!

Gap new line is all about the new “Classic” chic look. Clean lines, neutral shades and updated details. Hmmm, well if you ask for my honest opinion it is not like the apparel at Gap was ever super trendy and not classy but I suppose they have to pitch a new “look”…
Well they are offering a great deal on jeans right now. If you buy one pair you can get the 2nd pair for 50% off! (Expires on 9/11/08)
Plus enter coupon code: GCSHIP at checkout to get FREE Shipping when you spend over $100
Ps. So between us, the “new” jeans are bell bottoms and low rised? Umm, that means they will only look good on super tall, lean chicks right? Think about it…
