$ALE $ECTION: THE RE$URRECTION

Okay you guys.

First and foremost, I have to apologize to my readers for my lengthy hiatus I've been on since January. The combination of work and my last semester of school left me little time to do what I really wanted to be doing, which was making awesome posts for you guys with amazing items that are all on sale! 

Well, school is over, and I've got nothing but time on my hands, so be expecting regular posts for both men and women. Enough of my useless jabber, let's get the resurrection of $ALE $ECTION started.


LADIES

Summer is in full swing, so I'm gonna show you all some options for the warm weather. Just because the sun is out to get you doesn't mean that you can't beat the heat in style (and still be able to afford some drinks at happy hour). 

First up is this rad bell sleeve tee shirt from Free People. Picturing this with some cute denim cutoffs, sandals, and a floppy hat. It comes in three different colors and is 30% off!
