Minty Leopard

Okay I'll admit it, this outfit idea was taken from a blog that I like to follow, Mix and Match Fashion. However these pants are really capri pants and the weather was not warm enough for my ankles to show. I would have paired them with my pink toed flats that I wore in the outfit post from yesterday (if it weren't so dang cold!). 

So expect to see this outfit again (except with different shoes). I'm thinking that it will look like a whole new outfit!

I also had my post titled, but when I looked at the blog page of the outfit that I recreated, I noticed that we had similar title posts. Oops.

I'm sorry, that is all of the text that you get from me today. But I hope that you aren't really looking at this blog for the text. ;)

Shirt: Express

Pants: Khol's

Boots: Express 

Belt: Target

Bracelet: Francesca's Collection (recent)

Purple and Teal....plus a sale!

SALE ALERT!! Francesca's Collections is having a buy one, get one 50% on new jewelry in their stores right now. Okay, so that is a common sale that goes on in that store. However, they are also having a buy one thing on clearance, and get something else on clearance for free. The clearance sale is store wide, so you may want to go check out a store near you. I had gotten a gift card to Francesca's for Christmas, so I had a lot of fun over the weekend shopping in the store. The man and I were meeting his dad and little sister for lunch near our local Francesca's store, so after lunch us girls went shopping! We told to boys to go find something to do because we were going to be a while. Haha.

**THIS POST CONTAINS MANY PHOTOS!!**

While I was shopping, I found a necklace that I thought went better with my outfit than the necklace that I wore when walked out of the door that morning.

I purchased two necklaces and two bracelets while shopping. The mint bracelet and the gray necklace were the regular priced items, and the purple and gold necklace and the black and gold bracelet were the clearance items. 

Clothing Recap

What an amazing weekend in the beautiful state of South Carolina. The man and I went down South to visit some family friends. He grew up with them, so they really are like extended family, and we don't get to see them very often as they live 8 hours away. I'm not going to lie, I am jealous of the warm weather that is still going on down there. I ran around in short-sleeves and flats instead of my typical boots and sweater outfits. Most of my outfits were repeats (see last blog post) or simple shirts and jeans, and not really blog post worthy. (They have two babies so fashion wasn't my main focus of the weekend). 

Today's post is of an outfit that I wore sometime last week. The shirt and sweater are both from the clothing swap that I attended about a month ago. I have also included a small collage of the three times that I blogged about my Mint Capri Pants. I definitely wore them more than three times this year, but since I only started blogging in September, I only have three documented times of wearing them. As I find time, I'll try to put together a recap of some of my clothes from this past year (or rather the past four months).  

Sweater: New York and Company, picked up at clothing swap

Shirt: not sure, picked up at clothing swap

Pants: Target

 Boots: Charlotte Russe

Mint Capri Pants Recap

Mint and Stripes

I absolutely love my mint pants. I loved wearing them this past spring and summer, and am happy to continue wearing them throughout the fall. Now this particular pair of pants were once skinny jeans, but I turned them into capris. I love how neutrals look with mint, so I was excited to wear this combo out and about this past weekend. I cannot wait to try out other combos with mint this fall. I will have to work on my boots though, as these are slouchy boots and kept coming down to wear my capris ended. Maybe I'll invest in a pair of tall socks so it won't look so awkward. 

I'll be going back and forth between multiple states for the next couple of days, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! 

Sweater: Francesca's Collections (Fall 2012)

Pants: Khol's (these are the pants that I turned into capris, see here)

Boots: Charlotte Russe

Necklace: Express

Watch: Tissot

Earrings: Francesca's Collections

Rings: Silpada and Maryland Rennissance Festival

Mash-up

So this post is a bit of a mash-up. I I only have one outfit to show off, and it is actually an old outfit, (from the beginning of summer). Two of these pictures are from my old place, so obviously not current. 

Shirt: Express

Mint Capri pants: Khol's

Necklace: Francesca's Collection

Sunglasses: Target

The man's parents got me this purse a while a go. I'm obsessed with horses, and always have been. I have no idea where it came from, but I am in love with it. I wore it for the majority of spring and most of summer, but I figured that I needed to work some other bags into the mix. 

My mom needed to go shopping for some new work clothes not too long ago, and needed a shopping buddy, (it's so much more fun when you have a partner), so she invited me to go along. This was my haul after a day of shopping. Yes, those are Popsicle molds on the couch. 

Jacket: Target

Leopard Top: Dress Barn

Sweater: Nordstrom Rack

Black Jeans: Target

Purse: Dress Barn (got this baby for $6 because of sales)

I was reorganizing my closet at my last place. I loved this closet because I didn't have to sort out winter and summer clothes. I try my best to keep my closet organized at all times. I try to keep everything color coordinated by sleeve length and type of clothing. Not too long ago, I turned all of my hangers around in my closet. Now after I wear something, I turn the hanger back around the "normal way" so that I will try not to wear it again for a little while, unless I can re-style it. 

Do you have any special way that you organize you closet? 

Clothes, Clothes, Everywhere!

It's another multiple outfit post! Woohoo! I'm going out of town this weekend, and I've been running outfit ideas through my head. Does anyone else plan their outfits out for their trips? I won't be dressing up as most of the activities will be outside, but I still can't wait!

I'll go ahead a say that the boater shoes that I'm wearing a very comfy, hence why I'm wearing them over and over again. 

Shirt: Polo (last season)

Capri's: Khol's 

Shoes: Francesca's Collection 

My new Tippi Sweater! 

Shirt: Arden B. I think that I am going to say goodbye to this one. (old, from Plato's) 

Shorts: JcPenny

Shoes: Francesca's Collection 

Green shirt: my DIY shirt from Goodwill

Jeans: Express

Belt: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Francesca's Collection 

Bracelets: American Eagle

I really like this pair of pants from Old Navy. I don't own any bottoms in a tan or khaki color, so I think that I might have to go back for them, but the price tag is a little higher than I would normally pay for Old Navy.

On another note, the shirt that I have on in this picture was only $3.14 because it was 30% off the already on sale price. 

Multiple OOTD

September has started with a bang, and shows no sign of slowing down until the month it over. I'm going to try my best to take pictures and post them, but I might have to post a couple of days at a time.  

I went to J. Crew today to try on the Tippi sweater, because I wasn't sure what size I wear there. I quickly could tell that I haven't shopped in a nice store in quite some time, as I loved how attentive the sale associate was. Thrift shops and Target don't have someone walking around the store with you, helping you determine you size and what colors work best on you. The color sweater that I wanted was already on-sale in the store, but it was also an extra $10 cheaper on-line. I loved that J.Crew honored the on-line price, and I was able to get the sweater for 50% off! I think that I might need to start shopping a bit more in these types of stores now. :)

Thursday OOTD:

Sweater: The Loft (old)

Shorts: Target (August 2012)

Flats: Francesca's Collection 

I have had this shirt for a few years now (I purchased it sometime in college), and I still get compliments on it! I also bought it at the clothing consignment shop, Plato's closet. I love shops like that because there are usually some great deals hidden within the racks of clothes. 

Friday OOTD:

Shirt: VENUS (Plato's closet, old)

Pants: Khol's, spring 2012 (I had them tailored into capri pants)

Shoes: Old Navy 

Watch: Tissot (May 2012)

Necklace: Target (old)

You can't see my earrings, but they are simple diamond studs, that I love because the man got them for me for Christmas one year. :)

I'm not sure where the ring is from, but I know I got it in high school. (so over 7 years old)

My new ring from the Renaissance festival!

( I'll post my outfit from this day later.)

Labor Day Fun

This weekend has been a busy one. I was about to hang out with some of my family, and my mom and I were able to sneak in a bit of shopping. (yay!) I'm sure I'll be show casing the items shortly, and I am actually wearing my new black skinny jeans from Target in this post.  On Saturday I wore an outfit that was very similar to the Minty Fresh post, so I didn't take any pictures. The shirt that I wore was a simple black T-shirt and I wore a gold necklace instead of the mint one, but still, it was very similar. 

(very blurry, I know)

Dress: Francesca's Collection (Spring 2012)

Belt: Francesca's Collection (Summer 2012)

Flats: Target (August 2012)

  [I thought that they were comfortable at first, but the more that I wore them, the more uncomfortable they became.]

My family went to the Nationals baseball game on Sunday, but they were calling for rain during the whole game. We weren't sure if our seats were under the overhang or not, so I wore my rain boots just in case. Luckily the seats were covered, and the walk to and from the metro wasn't very far so I didn't really need them, but I wanted to just be safe.

Shirt: Express (old)

Jeans: Target (August 2012)

Rain boots: Target (August 2012, on-line only)

Minty Fresh

Today was a shopping overload day...but not for clothes for myself. It revolved around grocery shopping for the sales, as well as back to school shopping (for the middle-schooler that I was "watching". I feel like it's not babysitting when they are this old). 

Anywho..I wanted to be comfy, but the forecast was calling for rain later in the day, so I wanted to make sure that whatever I was wearing would be okay if it got wet. (i.e. no white) Excuse the flip-flops, I have a blister on my pinky toe!

Wrap Shirt: Express (old)

Capri: Khols- Spring 2012 (I believe they still have them in the store):: Also, I had these tailored into capris, they were skinny jeans)

Flip-flops: Charlotte Russe (old)

Necklace: Francesca's Collections- Spring 2012 (I believe they still have this one on-line, and other colors in stores)

Bracelet: Express (Winter 2011)

RAIN BOOTS!!

I just got my new rain-boots in the mail! They are from Target (only on-line), and I love them! These are a size 7, and I can wear thick socks and my jeans with them just fine. I went to my local Target and tried on a few pairs there to see what size I should order. I'm very glad I did or I would have ordered an 8, which would have been too big. I really love the Burberry rain-boots, but I can't justify $235 boots for the rain. Instead I found these babies for $25. Maybe I'll get to wear them a little later on. :)
