recent purchases

ANA sweater, random black pants, ASOS boots, vintage bracelet, Style & Co. watch

I almost successfully avoided the sales but they continued on today, which resulted in a new watch and sweater. Oh yes, a pair of shoes too but those are on their way in the mail. I, like many others, fell for that Micheal Kors watch but realistically it isn't what I should be spending. I found this Style & Co. watch for around $30 at JC Penneys. The face isn't as big but I'm okay with that. In my last post someone asked me where I got my ring... it came from a local tattoo shop here. I bought it for next to nothing! I really don't like how I can't just click respond to a comment, so if you want to ask me something with a quick response you can ask me at my formspring.

zipia window shopping

Zipia is an online Korean wholesale webshop that I love to browse. I've ordered off of it once (three years ago) and I got so much for my money. The quality isn't top but they've got some great stuff. Even if you aren't buying I find it fun to look at all the outfits. It used to be a little cheaper than it is now, but you can still get a deal. A lot of wholesale websites make you buy multiples of one item, but this one lets you spend a minimum amount of money. It used to be $500, but now its $300. And, if you can't spend $300, you can find some online forums and do joint orders, where collectively you can shop! I would consider it...

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!

if we are being honest

H&M sweater, BDG corduroys, ASOS boots

Well hello blogging world! It's almost been a whole week, which of course is a lifetime in the internet realm. Truth be told, I feel my closet has been lacking some really 'umph' as of late. Excuses, excuses, I know. But just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I haven't been lurking. Who am I kidding, I can't stay away from the internet. I've also got the new Legend of Zelda, so, ya know. Going to wear this plus my Style Stalker jacket to do something I've never done before. Grocery shopping. Alone. Always have to push the envelope (and of course learn to be an adult, nbd).

flashback

In Love With Fashion dress, Target flats

The leopard collection in my closet seems to be constantly growing but I had to go for this dress. I decided to pair it with my Target x Dolce Vita oxfords that didn't get much wear until recently. A perfect way to feel fashionable and comfortable!

squishy knit

Knit sweater c/o Motel Rocks, BDG jeans, Target purse, H&M boots

Motel Rocks contacted me (thanks, Selina!) and asked me to pick and style a piece from their collection. I decided on this knit sweater despite the slight crop it has. I think I've made it known how I feel about crop tops... Anyways, it's pretty good quality. It's one of those squishy knits aka the best kind! I have a tendency to buy black clothing so the split into white at the top keeps it interesting.

sentimental

Bebe bell bottoms, H&M boots, Free People sweater, random hat

Small rant: A couple of my friends have moved out this week. It's always interesting to see new places but I think I'm too sentimental about where they used to be...funny, I don't even live there! I suppose it does give new locations to shoot in. Thanks for the photos, Renny!

In Love With Fashion skirt, ASOS boots, DIY Headband, Urban Outfitters sweater

Light flow-y skirts probably aren't the best idea for a windy day but hey, we're talking fashion not reason here!

basic

Old Navy turtle neck, Self sewn skirt, Forever 21 faux fur vest

Ah, the season for turtle necks. They have always been a comfortable favorite of mine and I hope to make them a staple this time around. I got this one and a black one from Old Navy for a total of $15.00. Each was 60% off and they had a ton of colors. Not quite the chunky knitted turtle neck I would like but these make for good basics.
