Sari Tee, $65
calypso-celle.com
Liz: I get it, it's a cute tee but it's a little too hippie-trippy pour moi (especially when Jane pairs it with today's Ugg flip-flops which has become her uniform). When Jane and her friends were wearing ripped jeans back in high school I was wearing jeggings (the first time around) and borrowing our mother's Maud Frizon shoes.
Jane: I admit I am in full-on beach/summer mode right now and I am having trouble wearing anything but shorts and tees. This is my ab fave and I wear it whenever it is clean (or not). It reminds me of the batik shirts my friends and I wore in high school and college. This one is soft and thin like a vintage tee without the grossness of it actually having been worn by someone else first.

PETIT BATEAU Striped Sweatshirt w/ Anchor Button Detail, $80
chickdowntown.com
Liz: Petit Bateau was one of my favorite brands for my children when they were babies and I love buying the teenage sizes for myself. Even I am sick of hearing myself talk about the nautical trend but this is a great striped tee that is perfect for these hot summer days with a pair of denim, white, olive, khaki or red shorts.
Jane: Come Fall, throw a cardigan over it or shrunken blazer in any of the colors Liz just mentioned and pair it with jeans and ballet flats. Truly a classic. Love that the short sleeves are dolman.

Completely Me by Liz Lange Spectator Cardigan, $39.90
hsn.com
Liz: This is one of my favorite pieces from my newest collection for HSN. I love all the colors but the variegated stripes are modern, sophisticated, chic and look just like Prada (if I do say so myself). Fits true to size.
Jane: I love the long slim lines, lightweight cotton of this cardi. Perfect for summer over shorts, dresses, jeans etc. but also great to take you into fall. Buy this before it makes its debut on HSN later today and sells out! I know I am. My favorite color combo is the brown and white stripe but they are all so cute. Go Liz!

Featherweight cashmere pocket cardigan, was $178.00 select colors $99.99
jcrew.com
Liz: Jane and I own this cardigan at full price and we both live in it. We wanted to wait until it went on sale before we posted and NOW its on sale! This is a 12 month a year cardi - and the sleeves are shown up but you can also wear the sleeves down at full length. Try it belted at the waist over a slim pencil skirt for a great office look instead of a jacket.
Jane: I literally throw this on over everything: shorts, little dresses, jeans, workout clothing... It covers my tush and pulls together any outfit. All 3 colors are great.

Juicy Couture 3/4 Sleeve Tunic, on sale for $103.60 (30% off)
shopbop.com
Liz: I love that this looks like a tunic but is actually a soft tee shirt. I live in these types of tops over the summer: as shown with shorts but also with a little skirts in black, navy, red or khaki.
Jane: And when the weather turns cooler this would be great with jeans or black pants. It's easy yet it gives you instant bohemian chic.

Ann Taylor Cotton Poplin Skirt, WAS $58 - NOW $29.99
anntaylor.com
Liz: So many of you have asked for some more office friendly looks and we nearly died when we saw this fab all-figure flattering cotton skirt at such a great price! I will wear this cinched at the waist with a wide belt (brown or black belt) with a white button front blouse tucked in and high black or brown pumps (color dependent on belt).
Jane: I think this would be great with a little twin-set or shortened a bit and paired with a classic white tee (our mother pairs EVERYTHING with a white Hanes Tee) for a more casual weekend look with flats or sandals. This skirt is flattering for almost anyone as it has a slight A-line to hide any figure flaws while at the same time can give you a small waist appearance.

Walsh Short Vintage Printed, $64
lillypulitzer.com
Liz: As all our mothers would say, "If Jane wears these one more time they are going to walk away by themselves". I have never understood why they would "walk away" but I do know it means she is wearing them too much!! But they are truly adorable, flattering and I want them. Lilly sizes on the larger size so if you are between 2 sizes go for the smaller one.
Jane: What I love about these shorts is that they are super short at 3" but we get that a lot of people don't want shorts that short. Don't miss out on all of Lilly's adorable prints just go for the 5" or 10"! Then pair with a top in any solid color. Summertime is Lilly time. BTW: This is a vintage print from the Lilly archives.

DKNY Short Sleeve Sequin Tee Dress, $297.50 (30% off)
shopbop.com
Liz: We loves a good sale and this is the moment to score some good finds. I love the juxtaposition of the casual shape/fit of a tee shirt dress covered in fancy sequins. The neutral gold/khaki color is chic and versatile. Pair with gold, nude, brown or black shoes.
Jane: DKNY is rocking the sequin trend right now. I own a tee and tank and love them both. The fit is great. DKNY tends to run a bit large so you may want to size down. Dress it down with flats or slides. I love that this dress can take you into Fall and winter and of course is the perfect holiday dress as well.

J. Crew Olivia Shift Dress, sale $49.99 + take another 20 percent off at checkout by typing in the code: EXTRA20
jcrew.com
Liz: I just bought this cutie patootie little dress and I will wear it on warm summer weekends with nothing but flip flops. If I want to wear it to work, I will throw on a red or navy cardigan and a pair of ballerina flats (it is too short for heels.). This is my version of this summer's ubiquitous romper (I like rompers - but I don't quite feel comfortable in them.)
Jane: TIP: Go 1 size down. I was with Liz when she purchased this yesterday and the size down looked a bit better on her as the top got too big in her normal size. That said you can play with the size by cinching the waist more or less. It is a fantastic price as the extra 20 off, makes it $36! It is definitely short, but a great alternative to shorts.

Trina Turk Mailer Short, $76
trinaturk.com
Liz: I have been admiring these on Jane all summer and coveting them... I love the preppy madras and because of the variety of colors in the plaid and the navy binding you can literally pair these with any color.
Jane: TIP: Do as I did and shorten these a tad. I have been wanting to post these since I bought them but found the original price of $152 too much (although I have been LIVING in these). I was psyched to see the recent sale price and wanted to share with all of you asap! I often pair them with a flirty feminine top or tee. I love them with a wedge heel and a little jacket at night or with my Trove Tkees flip flops for day.
