Don't you love..

Don't you love finding accessories/clothes in your closet that you forgot you had?  It feels like I just bought new clothes minus the spending money part, which is always good :P  That was the case with this fedora hat, it was stored under my big, messy pile of clothes.  As soon as I found it, I got all excited and knew it'd be the perfect spring accessory.

Fedora Hat - Urban Outfitters - Similar here
Cardigan - BP Nordstrom, Purchase here (it's on sale!!)
Maxi Dress - Gap, Similar here
Belt - Anthropologie, Similar here
Small purse - H&M, Similar here

Ring - Kate Spade - Purchase here

I cannot emphasize how much I love the Kate Spade ring.  It goes with everything and it's such a reasonable price for a Kate Spade piece ($38)!

Have you recently found a clothing piece/accessory in your closet that you're totally excited about?

Pretzels and randomness

Hello readers!

To sum up how my Monday was, I leave you with a quote from yours truly (yes, I'm quoting myself)--

You know you snack too much when someone stops you at Starbucks to tell you that you have a pretzel stuck to the back of your cardigan.

Yes, this actually happened today.  How embarrassing, right?!

Anyways, onto my OOTD, which was actually yesterday's outfit:

Chambray shirt - H&M ($12.90!!) - similar here and here

Shorts - Forever 21 - purchase here

Wedges - Banana Republic - similar here, here, here, and here

Sunglasses - Ray Bans - purchase here

I bought this shirt about two weeks ago and I've already worn it at least 5-6 times.  It's very versatile and goes with everything - I've paired it with high-waisted skirts and white/blue shorts, jeans, etc.

Do you readers have a favorite clothing item that you wear ALL the time?

I'm bad..

My friend and I made a spur of the moment trip to the mall and ended up spending a little too much.  Can you say "tsk tsk"?!

The following were my purchases--

Loosened Shelby Blouses

I couldn't decide on which color I liked better so I purchased both.  I love the pop of color on both of them and I know I will get a lot of wear out of the these tops.  I especially love the way you can tie a bow in the front.  And in case you didn't notice, the yellow blouse has little lemon prints on them.  So cute!  I need to decide on which one I would like to keep since these tops are a little pricey ($58 each.  Which color would you choose?

The one sale purchase I made was the Rise & Shine Dress.  I didn't really pay much attention to it online, but thought it was adorable in person.  The sweetheart neckline is very flattering and the scarf at the waist gives it the unique finishing touch.  I'm still debating if I should keep though, it might get another price cut!

Have you made any recent Anthro purchases lately? :)

Comfort Clothes

Chambray Shirt - H&M
Dress - Gap
Wedges - Banana Republic

Necklace - Etsy - Purchase here

There are days when I look for comfort in clothes so I throw on a huge sweater, a pair of sweats and some Uggs.  Today, I decided to change up my "comfort clothes" by wearing my maxi dress topped off with my new loose fitted H&M chambray shirt (can you believe it was only $12.90?!)

Do you readers have a favorite outfit that is comfortable yet stylish at the same time? :)

OOTD

Cardigan - Anthropologie's Coin Purse Cardigan
Pants - Anthropologie's Elevenses Ruffle Crop Pants - Similar here
Shoes - Pearce Pumps - Purchase here

The Coin Purse Cardigan is seriously the best $10 I've spent on a cardigan EVER!  It's so unique and I've already gotten so many compliments!  If you don't count the shoes, my whole outfit cost $20 - so crazy!

Hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday :)

Sale Haul

My haul list:

One of my proudest Anthro moments - being able to score this LiaMolly cardigan for $9.95!!  I received this beauty two days after I placed the order.  The sweater is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.  I was worried that it might be too busy with all the patterns on the sweater, but my worries went away when I saw it.  I can't wait to wear it!

I scored this cute Old Navy dress for free!  Old Navy combined forces with Shazam (an IPhone app) and I won a coupon for a free dress.  The fit is perfectly flattering, I can see myself pairing it with a cardigan and a belt.  You can purchase it here - it's currently on sale for $15.

I was browsing the Kohl's website and stumbled upon the Lauren Conrad collection.  I fell head over heels for this dress so C ordered it for me.  It's a cute pleated cocktail dress with a belt - a perfect combination.  You can purchase this pretty dress here and you can find promotional codes for Kohls here.

 I purchased my 2nd pair of Target's Pearce Pumps.  They are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.  I own heels from a broad spectrum of brands and nothing compares to these.  I think the main reason why these shoes are so comfortable is because they have built in cushion with rubber soles on the outside, which bend with your feet (kind of like tennis shoes).  And to add the icing on top of the cake, they are REAL leather for $29.99!

Have a good Thursday everyone, it's almost Friday!!

My favorite picks from Anthropologie and Target

 

I tried on the Plaited Brushstrokes Skirt and fell in love.  The name speaks for itself.  It feels like I'm wearing a piece of artwork.  The skirt is very well-made.  It is made of cotton and feels very sturdy.  Love it!

My friend and I are both in love with the Pinwheel Tank.  O-M-G it is the most flattering top that we've ever tried on at Anthropologie.  The front is v-neck, but the back has a square-ish neckline.  I normally don't like to wear dark/bright orange tops, but this is a definite exception.  

The collar on this top is subtly pleated.  It feels true to size as I am wearing a size 0, but I wouldn't mind trying a size 2 for a little extra room.  My friend and I made a pack to both buy this top when it goes on sale.  Twinsies!

The Anadyomene Cardigan is SUPER soft.  The cardi is made of cotton and spandex which gave it a little stretch.  The sweetheart neckline is very flattering, but a little high.  If I were to purchase this I'd probably get a small (I'm wearing a XS).

 I love drapey tops in general and this was no exception.  The Undersea Exploration Tee was extremely soft and I absolutely adored the different shades of green print on the tee.

The Westerly Wind tee was another drapey top that I love.  Keep in mind that it's sheer in the back so I would recommend wearing a tank under this.  I felt like I was kind of swimming in this, but yet for some reason I still really liked the top.  It's a little tight on the arms so I tried sizing up and it just looked way too overly drapey.  If you could deal with the sleeves being a little too tight, I'd recommend buying your normal size.  This top is currently on sale for 29.95 and I'm waiting for another price cut before I make the purchase.

For my last review, I leave you with a Target dress that I spotted in stores

The fabric itself was a little thin, but the cotton felt decent in quality.  Why do I love this dress?  It's so flattering and the polka dots!  I'm a sucker for polka dots. 

Hope all my reviews helped!
