A Micro-Haul of Satin Separates & Really Great Tank Tops

Alternative Title: Look At All The Cute Shit I Got From Madewell!!!

A lot of editors will tell you that they don’t ever pay for clothes. Why would they, when brands are willing to send whatever, whenever, with zero strings attached? Personally, I’ve always preferred to buy the majority of my wardrobe myself — I love the occasional gifting as much as the next girl, but I’d rather pick out exactly what I want without the fuss of waiting for a gift to ship, needing to swap a size, or feeling indebted to a brand. Plus, I’m happy to support the brands I like!

Still, there are some brands doing everything so Right, I can’t help but reach out and request a few samples in addition to the pieces I’ve already bought for myself. And after seeing a few too many must-haves in one place, I knew I needed a haul from one mall-brand-turned-trend-master in particular.
