Built by Wendy Sales Again

The selection for the latest Built by Wendy sale appears to be extremely limited online, but maybe the real-life sale will have more to choose from. Perhaps not, though: Doesn't look like an actual sample sale, since it goes on for two freakin' months, supposedly. Anyway, my picks:




Grid tennis dress, $82.50 (down from $214). It also comes in chambray for $99 and supercute navy with green trim for $107. Not sure how effective those butt pockets would be for holding tennis balls though....um.


99 Red Balloons dress, $138 (down from $198).





Patio stripe sport tank dress, $94 (down from $188).

One beef: Don't tell me to wear a slip. Line your dresses! I don't pay $282 retail to have the outline of my thighs visible, thanks. (Actually, I don't pay $282 retail, generally, ever, but that's not the point.)
