Cute spring/summer styles at Gap

Yesterday I stopped by Gap in hopes of finding some new slip-ons and was pleasantly surprised to find loads of clothes I'd happily wear this spring and summer. You see, I don't often shop at the Gap because I feel like the quality isn't that much better than Old Navy or Merona at Target, where you can get very similar styles for less. But every so often, I find some gems on the sales racks or online. Gap's leather ballet flats are my go-to - they look like the expensive brands at a fraction of the cost. And yesterday I found exactly what I was looking for - genuine leather slip-on sneakers, for $49.95. (I went with blush, thanks Instagram loves!) Yes, it's pricey for this Budget Babe, but where else can you find leather sneaks for this price? I added this straw fedora (sized large enough to fit my big head) and qualified for a spend $75, save $25 promotion, so all-in-all it wasn't a terrible purchase. I plan on wearing both items for daily walks with my little guy and our dog, plus almost-daily trips to the playground. Other Gap highlights include subtle print shorts, fit & flare 100% cotton dresses, eyelet skirts, denim shirts, rugby striped maxi dresses, slightly distressed denim shorts and printed Tencel joggers.
