So I finally bought a few things, after my brief hiatus from purchasing clothes. It felt good, but it felt even better not to buy things. I've had to get really creative. Like this jacket, for example. I've had it for about 8 years (after purchasing it on sale from Target) and I'm so glad I held onto it. Because that military trend that's going on right now? Well, this jacket is my little take on it. Yeah, it might not be the jacket or the vest, but it was free :)
One of the things I bought? These shoes. I'm kind of obsessed - oxfords, gray, pink sole - what's not to love?
Quick question for you: I'm considering doing a monthly post about what I've bought, clothing-wise, or something about how much I spend on clothes. Would that be interesting to anyone? I'm thinking it might help keep me accountable, but I don't know if that would be the most boring thing ever?
Scarf & Jacket: Target
Striped Top: H&M
Jeans: Banana Republic (on sale for $20!)
Watch: Fossil
Shoes: TJ Maxx
Shoes: TJ Maxx
so cute! and as for the monthly clothing posts, i say go for it! i always love anything you write anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that scarf!! gotta look for it next time I'm at Target! Oh and I say do the monthly clothes posts!!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit - classic and casual chic, my favorite combination. I tried a "what I bought" roundup post last month. To be honest, I haven't done it for this month, mostly because I'm slightly embarrassed with how much I bought. It was certainly an eye opener! But I'm always interested to see what other people get - it gives me ideas for my own wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteYes! you should totally do it! cute outfit!

Stripes and florals were just meant to go together. I wonder if we'll look back on our outfits in 20 years and think "what in the world, florals and stripes? who thought this was a good idea" but right now, I love it.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know what you mean! I'm pretty convinced we'll all wonder what the heck we were thinking in 20 years, but I'm with you - enjoy it for now!
Deletei love this look! especially those shoes, i found some at target last month :)

I love to read what bloggers buy and how much they pay.
ReplyDeleteI love those shoes. I keep eyeballing the similar ones at Target that are black w/teal sole.
I would definitely be interested to read how much you spend and buy in a month, especially if you're a big sale shopper like I am, it's always fun to read about super sales. I'm glad you kept this jacket too because it's not only on trend but so cute on you!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Stripes and florals are one of my faves right now...and those oxfords....precious! High five for this one!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you mixed stripes with a print. I think posts on your latest finds and budget is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed with oxfords! Just found your blog via pinterest. New follower.

excellent idea! i'd love to see how others can make do on a limited budget so i can get some ideas! I go on clothing starvation diets, then went crazy over a period of a couple of weeks shopping like a crazy woman.
ReplyDeleteI love mixing stripes and floral. You look FANTASTIC. Your hair looks Fabulous, too. =) I love that scarf, the jacket (I am wearing one very similar today) and the cozy Oxfords. I am pinning this look, Ashley.
