Fashion Inspiration: Lace & Pearls

shirt: Ralph Lauren (via consignment shop), skirt: Forever 21
necklace: Target, sandals: kelly & katie (via DSW)

These outfit pics are from several weeks ago.

My apologizes for the delay.

I absolutely love this skirt!

End of story.

(Oh, you can see another way that I wore it here.)

Fashion Inspiration: Rust Skinny Jeans

shirt: Forever 21, tank: Gap, pants: TJMaxx, sandals: katie & kelly (via DSW)
watch: NY&Company, bracelet: vintage (gift from my mother-in-law)

I'm so glad that I found these rust colored skinny jeans at TJMaxx.

It has been fun discovering ways to "remix" them.

Granted, I have only worn them one other time...{check it out here}...

...but there will be more remixing.  Trust me, there will be more.  

Fashion Inspiration: Easter

shirt: Forever 21, skirt: Forever 21, sandals: kelly & katie (via DSW)

These pics are a bit late, but...this is what I wore on Sunday for Easter.

I was so excited when I found this gorgeous skirt at Forever 21...of all places.

You really have to be on a hunt at Forever 21 and it can be very hit or miss.

A lace skirt has been on my "wish list" recently.

And there it was...like a beacon in the night...right at the front of the store.

Oh and I got to take it home for $22...oh and it is a modest length.

Score!  Knee-length...lace skirt...under $25.  

Now that is a successful purchase.

I can't wait to remix this baby.  Oh the possibilities!

Fashion Inspiration: Pastels

shirt: Banana Republic Outlet, cardigan: J.Crew Factory, necklace: Hananah D's
pants: J.Crew Factory, sandals: kelly & katie (via DSW)

I can't believe that I used to ONLY wear a black tee with these pants.

Granted this is only the second time I've really ventured out of my comfort zone with these pants.

I'm really enjoying the new possibilities I'm finding in my closet to pair with them.

Today, I'm linking up with Everybody Everywear for their "pastels" link up.

I really enjoy participating in their link ups.

It always challenges me to see my closet in a new way.

Fashion Inspiration: Little Black {Summer} Dress

dress: Loft (via consignment shop), jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch (old!)
necklace: "swapped", sandals: kelly & katie (via DSW)

I have discovered a new "kind" of shopping.

I've always loved a good sale...but this can be even more exciting.

Consignment shopping.

If you have time (and some patience), you can find some real treasures.

That is how I found the Loft dress (pictured above) and my J.Crew blazer.

Speaking of "the Loft dress (pictured above)"...

Let me introduce you to my new little black {summer} dress.

It is summer perfection and it fits beautifully.

I have a feeling this beauty is going to get a lot of wear in the coming months.

Fashion Inspiration: Green Pants

shirt: J.Crew Factory, pants: NY&Company, belt: J.Crew Factory
necklace: Forever 21, sandals: kelly & katie (from DSW)

I'm going to take a minute to brag about the AWESOME deal I got on these fabulous, green pants.

I was enjoying some leisurely reading in my Glamour magazine (don't judge!)....when I stumbled upon a coupon to NY&Company.  

It said, "Try our pants for $10."  My first thought was, "Yea right!  What's the catch?"  

So I read all the fine print and discovered that it was legit.  Pants for $10!  

Sure enough...I took these pants to the register with my coupon and the nice lady sold me $40 pants for $10.

And that my friends is the story about how I got green pants for $10.
