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.)

Color Pop

I'll go ahead and apologize for the horrible pictures. I know that they look pretty much like all of my other photos, but I could not get the colors to really show up. (I know that if I used an actual camera and had someone else take them in any other room than the bathroom then the pictures wouldn't be so bad). It's just me, and I can't afford my dream mirror, so this is what happens. Oh well.

I  was so excited about the new shorts that I got yesterday from Target, that I was planning my outfit all night. The man even said that he liked them! I know it's a lot, but I just couldn't wear anything with less color today. Fall is almost here, so I had to add some color before summer is officially over.

I went thrifting today, and only spent $1.06.  I went to find some jeans that I won't mind getting a little messy when I start volunteering at the local animal shelter. I was almost finished shopping without finding any jeans that fit me well, but then I spied some bins on the floor. They had a bunch of old grungy jeans for $1.00. As I got ready to put the last pair back in the bin, I noticed that they weren't messed up and were my size. I was so excited that I found a pair that fit me for $1.00! Now these won't be worn for any occasion other than volunteer work, but I was still stoked. (Is it okay to still say that?) I fell in love with a few tops, but  alas, they did not fit. Oh well, I'll wait a few weeks before I hit the thrifts shops back up. 

Shirt: Express (about two years old; I'm wearing a purple undershirt with it because the shirt itself is see-thru)

Shorts: Target (August 2012, sale rack)

Shoes: Gap (Plato's closet, tags still on)

Bracelets: Coconut Island 

(excuse my bulging vein please)

Target Deals

I had to run to Target today, and of course I had to *glance* through the merchandise. The sale rack was large and full of deals, so if you haven't been to your local Target recently, you should! I was able to score a pair of shorts, a sweater, a pair of jeans, and some black slacks all from the sale rack. The sweater was the only item over $9, and it was only $11. I was also loving everything that was not on the sales rack as well, but I had to be reasonable. 

Outfit Of The Day

Black Tank: Target (really old)

Yellow/Gray Jacket: Target (old)  (is it called a jacket?)

White Capri Pant: Khol's 

Flats: Payless

Bracelets: assortment, all gifted (I know that you can't really see them here though)

 Dressing room photo shoot:

These shorts were on the sale rack! I was drawn to the color, and you can imagine my delight when they were my size! I love the sale rack!

I will definitely have to wear something underneath this sweater, but I really liked it. The material isn't itchy and it too was on the sale rack.

I'm really disappointed that they did not have my size in the black jeans, but the season isn't over. If I can't find it any in the stores in the near future, then I guess I'll have to order them online. I liked this cardigan as well, but I felt like I had enough items for one trip. Maybe next time. 

Leopard Nails

I had a chance to paint my nails (meaning I actually sat down and painted them), and I saw a little tutorial on how to do leopard nails. 

Shirt: Target (spring 2012)

Shorts: JcPenny

Flats: Payless (from Plato's Closet) 

Hat: Target (old, but they had them at Target this summer)

Have you ever cleaned out your closet, and then a few weeks or months later you decide you still want some of those pieces that you had cast aside? That may have happened a few times to me recently. And that's why I don't like cleaning out my closet. 

However I am loving some sweaters that Target is carrying right now. 

Wish List: New Shoes

I didn't feel like jazzing up my outfit too much today. I just wanted something comfy because I knew that I'd be walking around a bit today and trying on clothes. 

(sorry so blurry)

Shirt: Express (old)

Shorts: JcPenny (May 2012)

Shoes: Gap (old)- got from Plato's closet with the tags still on them for only $9; originally $45

Rings: not sure where the ring on my middle finger came from, but the midi ring came from an upscale consignment  shop at the Otter Banks called the Loft. I actually wear it on my pinky finger a bit too.

I went back to Target and tried on the blue skinnys....they are too cute. Didn't get them yet, but I thought I should at least see what they looked like. I like the sweater too, and it was on sale and tax free, but I just don't *need* it. I know that it doesn't look very good in the picture, but it does in person. (But if it doesn't look to swell in pictures, then maybe I don't want it??)

So I *had* to buy some jewelry for my bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding that is coming up. (Such a relaxed bride, I love her). While I was out, I ran into Khol's to see if they had anything in their clearance section.  If found a pair of boots (Candie's) that I really liked as well as a pair of aqua flats (SO). The boots hit right below my knee and fit well with my bare leg, but still had enough room for a pair of skinny jeans or woolly socks. 

Candie's Tall Boots: Original:$99.99; sale: $78.99

color: stone

SO Flats, Original. $39.99; now $18.99

color: aqua

They were both really comfortable, but I'm having to watch what I bring home right now. However, I have neither of these styles in my closet and now I really want them both. haha. (At least I know that I'm a solid size 8 at Khol's now)
