Fashion: Simply Romantic

This outfit is simple and romantic, and can be dressed up or down. The light pink bustier with the small simple lace like detailing on the neck line adds a romantic soft feeling to the outfit. The shirt is also very slimming due to the two vertical lines that run curved up the abdominal section! The fabric on this shirt is also very comfy, soft, and form fitting. I paired it with a simple, 1/2 sleeve white cardigan from target. The shorts are high wasted, and have three buttons running up the sides in the front. The sheen to the fabric adds a hint of texture to the rest of the look. Because of the simplicity of the outfit, I paired it with a pair of funky heels that add a pop without overpowering the rest of the ensemble. A simple large grey handbag stays in the family of colors and gives me a place to put my junk! I decided to stay with the romantic feel of the outfit and paired it with my favorite white watch, some pearl studs, and my favorite silver key necklace. The soft curls and lack of heavy makeup again add to the feel the outfit gives.

Fashion: How To Save Money on a Shopping Trip!

Lets face it… we all love to shop! There's nothing wrong with trying on countless amounts of outfits and spending money on things you might only wear a couple of times! Here are some tips that will help you save money, and regret, on your future shopping trips!

Set a limit for yourself. Giving yourself a limit of howmuch you want to spend will keep you in line, andsave you from truly regretting that Marc bag on sale that you can't return.
Know what you’re looking for. Maybe you have an event coming off and on the shopping trip you are planning on getting stuff for that event! Keep those things in mind as you shop. By knowing what your planning on buying before you go to the mall will help you stay on track and not buy the things you have too many of!
Glance over your closet before you leave. This is going to create a mental bank of the clothing you have so when you see that really cute shirt, even at $10, you can save that and put it towards a different purchase.
Divide up the cost. While starring at yourself in the mirror in the beautiful $50 dress, quickly take the amount of times that you think you will wear it and divide the price by the number. You say you wear it 5 times, that $10 for every time you’re going to wear it!
Add in the cost of accessories. When I try on clothes, or see it on a rack, I think of how I would wear it, including shoes, jewelry, handbag, etc. If I don't own anything that I think will look good with the outfit, I rethink the purchase.
Look for deals. This is one of the most obvious ones! If you see a bogo, or a sale, check there first! Also look out for coupons and online codes!
Be careful with buying extra deals. Sure those shirts may be 2 for $25, but do you really need them? Most of the time you’re saving close to $3, but your spending extra money because you were sucked into the deal. If you only need one, get one. Don't get something unless you truly need it.
Basics vs. One time wear. Why spend your money on something that you might not wear as much? Sure you might see a super expensive basic, but the cost will make up for it in the end!
Add in any alterations. Sure you love the dress, but it’s too long. "Oh, ill just get it tailored!" well that will run you extra. So the dress may seem reasonable, but time and money will add to the cost.
Put it on hold until the end of your trip. You may love that shirt now, but what if you buy 2 other shirts? Do you still really need that one? Plus, you wont want to go back and get it unless you really really like it!

This system will make sure you don't regret al of the things you buy in your future shopping trips! Happy Shopping! :)

Current Color Obsession?

Sooooo... IM OBSESSED! With what you may ask? A color. yes, a color! Within the last three days i've worn this color pretty much all the time, or bought an item of this color! The color is the light slightly washed out Tiffany blue color!

This is my favorite shirt from Aritzia! Its a TNA shirt in H2O:

This is a bad picture of a strapless printed tube top thats 3 years old. But somehow it still fits!

I also recently got a manicure with Absolutely Shore, the same pale blue!

I also lost my tweezers, and was in need.. so i got the Tweezerman travel tweezers in the same color!

I also changed the font color or headings and titles to this color too... So clearly I'm enjoying this color! Is there color or pattern you are crazy obsessed with? Lets us know!

TJMaxx Clothing Haul!

Are you a maxonista? I am for sure! Although its nothing like shopping at Macys, Nordstrom or Saks, i feel even more joyed whenever I buy something from TJMaxx! I originally went looking for a new pair on sunglasses, designer brands and quality for the price of the crappy ones in the mall! But as you can see I left the store with a little more... :) Tip: If you are ever looking for a new fragrance stop by a TJMaxx first, you could find one of your favorite perfumes for less!
