Summer Sales and a Great Haul!

Leave a reply

I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July! It was really nice to have the day off and hard to get back to work today. On Tuesday I went to the mall with my sister and my mother and they were having some amazing sales! I apologize in advance for the horrible photo quality, I took the photos on my phone. 

 

I was looking for zebra print jeans after I read Confessions of a Shopaholic. It seemed strange, yet interesting. Right before I went on vacation I saw an adorable pair of zebra jeans at Guess before I went on vacation but they were a little pricey so I figured I would wait until they went on sale. Since I was at the mall on Tuesday, I figured I would check in on my pants and see if they were on sale and they were! The sale price was still a little expensive but they were offering an extra percentage off sale items and they happened to have my size so I couldn’t say no! I can’t wait to wear them!

I also got lucky enough to pick up a few items from Lord and Taylor. They were offering some great discounts and I got a few great BCBG pieces.

I was watching Pretty Little Liars a few weeks ago and fell in love with a top that Hanna was wearing. I know they usually dress her character in BCBG (a favorite designer of mine) and immediately went looking for it and found it! I would have loved the snake skin top but was able to snag it in yellow! I am really excited to wear it with the teal skirt for a great colorblocking effect. I have those Michael Kors sandals in black already, and these are my sister’s but I definitely plan to wear them a lot. 

 

I also got this adorable dress that I wore to work today. I paired it with a coral cardigan from Banana Republic, a yellow tanktop from Old Navy (because the back is open) and neon coral flip flops from Old Navy. I also wore a bracelet from Forever 21 and a gold and bronze necklace I got when I was on vacation.

We made a stop at Forever 21 and I got some great basics that I can’t wait to wear. I am super happy about the maxi dress because they are usually too long but this wasn’t. I got a teal button down to wear under a blazer and a mint cardigan. I love to buy the tank tops at Forever 21 because they are only $2.50. They don’t usually last beyond a few washes, but they come in a ton of colors and are perfect to wear under sheer tops. I also got 3 skinny belts for $4.50!

Back on Track!

I know I said I was planning to redo my blog, but unfortunately I can’t find anyone who actually has photoshop skills and wants to help me. I reached out to someone and asked for help and needless to say, she didn’t really seem like she wanted to help me. So I am still on the hunt to make some changes. 

As I previously mentioned, I have started a new job, and have been super crazy busy with it. It is a great place to work and I even get an office!! (I have to share it, but still!). It is definitely still an adjustment to get back to working a 9-5 and everyone here works really hard. I have never been part of a marketing team, so this is definitely new, but I really like that I still have a lot of PR focus (outreach, social media) and I get to learn a ton of new things (SEO, HTML). It was really hard for me to leave my last job because I had great coworkers and I miss them everyday, especially at lunch but I know this was the best move for my career. 

Even though I have been gone awhile, I come bearing outfit photos! These are some highlights over the last couple weeks.

The first one is a casual fun outfit that is great for work. I paired a MANGO blue top with a contrasting tan and yellow cropped jacket from Ann Taylor Loft. Since I can wear jeans to work, I just threw on a pair of comfy Express jeggings. I accessorized by wearing beaded tribal bracelets from Old Navy in orange and tan, and a Burberry watch. Not shown, but I am wearing tan flats from Banana Republic as well. The key piece here was definitely the cropped jacket (yes, I know my sleeves are uneven, this was at the end of the day and my sister took the picture and didn’t tell me to fix it).

My sister and I went to the Michael Jordan steakhouse so of course I felt the need to wear a blazer! While you can’t tell in this photo, the blazer is actually a orange-red. I purchased it from Bebe a few weeks back and have been waiting for the perfect chance to wear it. I decided to get a little crazy and wore a dalmation printed Forever 21 top underneath. I think it definitely complimented the blazer. I wore a pair of dark jeans (my sister’s) and topped the outfit off with a silver Guess necklace, silver gemstone bracelets (different sizes) and dark gray Banana Republic gem flats.

This final outfit is another blazer outfit. I can’t help it, I’m obsessed! I chose a black and white striped French Connection shirt and threw a blue/black cropped school-uniformesqe (is that a word?) blazer over it. I decided on dark jeans from Gap, my Burberry watch and a chain bracelet from BCBG. As you can obviously see, at this point in the night, I had decided to remove my shoes but I went with my dark gray Banana Republic gem flats again. 

Until next time! Hopefully by then I will have made changes to this blog!
