Neons in Nature

I bought BRIGHT yellow jeans. I thought this might be a mistake, but I'm completely in love with them now! I chose a more casual way to wear them this time, but I also added some pattern, and another neon for good measure! We found a great place tucked away in my apartment complex that makes me feel like I'm suddenly in the country! 

Pants: Gap here; shirt: Target old similar here, Shoes: Old Navy old, Sweatshirt: JCrew old, Jewelry: Forever21 and H&M, Watch: Michael Kors)

Happy Tuesday to everyone... hope you all have a wonderful week!

Special thanks to my friend Melanie and her girl Lola who took my pictures!

Berry Fun

Chambray Shirt: Old Navy (old), Pants: Target similar; Belt: Target (old), but Jcrew sells an exact one for lots 'o money! Mine was $12! Shoes: Gap: (old) similar, Necklace, F21 (old), Bracelets: Handmade, Watch: Michael Kors here

I love my new berry colored skinny jeans from Target. They were under $20. But a word of warning, I had to go up 4 sizes in these- they are crazy small! They are super comfy though, and perfect for a laid back afternoon hanging with a friend and taking another friend's dog for a walk. Yep that was my Sunday. It was perfect. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Dressing Room Adventures

I love shopping... I love shopping even more when I have a gift card! (Free money like what!) This weekend I took a trip to my local Anthropologie with nearly $100 to spend. I've gone in a few times since having the gift card with no luck. So this time I decided to try on anything I remotely liked. Dangerous. I took pictures, because sometimes that is the only way I can really judge how something looks on me...

:::one:::

I love this striped shirt. It is oversized and has asymmetrical gathering on one side. 

This came home with me!

:::two:::

This one makes me laugh! I was SURE prior to trying this shirt on that I would buy it. And then I put it on. Ha! Not cute. Proof that sometimes you really do have to try something on to know!

:::three:::

Also a little funny. This shirt was a good idea in theory... I just felt like I had a tail. The color was great, as was the fabric. Maybe that's why it was on sale?! :) This did not come home with me!

:::four:::

THIS DRESS. I am so in love. It is so classic, and such a fun color. I wasn't sure about it before I tried it on, and then I just fell in love. It fits perfectly and can be worn in so many ways! 

This came home with me! :)

:::five:::

I liked this sweater. It fit cute, the fabric was light and flow-y. Unfortunately it was $78 which seemed pricey for what it was. I'm going to watch like a hawk for it to go on sale because the more I look at this pic, the more I wish I could have purchased it!

And for good measure, here is a pic of what I wore shopping- it was a cold, rainy and miserable day so I didn't feel it necessary to put on real clothes! :)

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

I might have a problem...

I have been doing A LOT of shopping recently. I blame it on a number of factors:
1) I received a few gift cards for Christmas/ my Birthday which has sent me into a shopping whirlwind.
2) I'm temporarily working in a location much closer to my home, which means I have time to shop on my lunch break and after work. (danger.)
3) I've been getting "happy birthday month" promotions in my email from retailers, that tempts me into their stores/ to their websites!
Here's a few things that I picked up...

By far my favorite... from Nordstom. 7 For All Mankind green skinny jeans!

From Gap... I got for $7.99, with a gift card! (so free basically!)

Also from Gap... it's the perfect comfy sweater that can be dressed up or down.

 I got this scarf, but mine has a neon yellow/green trim instead of pink. Gap.

Also Gap. (I hit up Gap, Hard.)

Gap again. Classic striped sweater.

 Old Navy... I love that it's a lightweight fabric to take me into spring. (Arriving Saturday!)

Also Old Navy... I hope it fits. The only option was S/M or L. I have a weirdly big head so I went with L. Fingers crossed.

I've been anti-oxfords for a while, but I love these grey, laceless version from Old Navy. Plus, they were on sale for $27! (Also arriving on Saturday.)

My favorite thing about all of these new purchases is that every piece is versatile. I can only imagine all the combinations I will create! Pictures of me in the clothes/shoes soon!
