Leopard and Wood - What I Wore

Sweater - H&M, Button Down - H&M, Patchwork Jeans - Denim & Supply, Scarf - Forever 21, Shoes - H&M, Necklace - Naughty Baubles

Clearly my leopard button down and a scarf have become my extremely essential fashion staples.  Plus I can't stop wearing my latest necklace.  Its acrylic and wood chain mixed together making one long necklace and it literally goes with anything. I listed another one on my Etsy shop if you're intersted.

I was fortunate to have a day off today (although I do have to work Saturday) and spent most of the day listing new items on Naughty Baubles and the other remaining hours remerchandising my closet.  I will be buying new a whole new wardrobe system soon and in the mean time decided to get organized so I know exactly what I will need. After about three hours of a complete disaster and a half an hour of clean up I've come to realize I really don't have any clothes.  Your probably thinking "Yeah me too" while snickering in your head except for the two closets of stuff I wear but I really don't have much at all.  Considering where I started about four years ago I appear to purge consistently without replacing. For now its a good thing because I managed to make what was a whole Pax wardrobe system(the big double door wardrobe with narrow side unit), a smaller Ikea wardrobe and a five foot closet not counting the jewelry and shoe spillover into the bedroom fit into just the smaller wardrobe and the closet.  Granted I have four or five pairs of shoes sitting on top of the wardrobe unit but everything else fit. I am utterly amazed.

Anywho hope your week is going well and here's to the soon arriving weekend!!

****In Other News - What I Wore****

Mens Button Down - Denim & Supply, Tshirt- Forever 21, Shorts - Forever 21, Boots - Steve Madden(On Sale Now for $60)

A quick, rather exciting update.....I'M ENGAGED!!!!!

After almost 9 amazing years my boyfriend proposed and of course I said yes.  I'm in complete wedding inspiration mode and my Pinterest account is getting lots of play right now. While for now I will continue to pin anything of interest, I am contemplating creating a new blog but we'll see.  It has really surprised me how excited this step is making me....not that it shouldn't but being that I have never planned a party for anything I am all open arms with this large task. 

And in other news, I went a little button down crazy after making my shredded denim one that I love and picked up some great alternatives.  So easy to wear and they are the  perfect spring jacket alternative from wearing it with a cute dress to using it as a beach cover up.  This one I'm wearing here is now on sale if you're interested and I found my boots also on sale in blue, the color I originally wanted but couldn't get in my size.  Just click on the link in the outfit description to check 'em out.

Hope you had a great weekend!!!

****Fashion Staples - What I Wore****

(shredded button down - DIY, leather leggings - XXI, boots - H&M, necklace - Naughty Baubles, clutch - Cole Haan)

I just can't seem to stop wearing my  DIY distressed denim shirt(If you want to learn how to make one for yourself) and leather leggings. Its made such a huge impression on what I enjoy wearing lately I just bought a few more men's button downs from Denim & Supply.  Apparently I've found my Spring staples and after doing a little spring cleaning I also managed to rediscover a necklace I made almost two years ago. Stay tuned as this twisted chain necklace may just find its way onto my Etsy Shop...

On a sad note, my phone was taken at work and its looking like my weekend will be without instant Pinterest/Tumbler/Gmail/Blogger updates, a whole slew of numbers I can't remember and I'm quite sure a bit of other information still unknown that I may one day need.  Insurance is replacing the phone to the tune of $125 but I still feel doubly violated.....nothing is ever easy when it comes to insurance

Anywho, its Saturday and that's reason enough to celebrate.  Enjoy it!!!

****It's Okay, You Can Tell Me....****

....That I've been shopping a bit more than usual but I blame it on the great sales......  

-Lucky Brand Boots - $30 (down from $139)

-Snakeskin Pumps - $15 (down from $100)

-Distressed Black Denim & Supply Jeans - FREE thanks to a gift card!!!!!!

-Patchwork Denim& Supply Jeans - $30 (down from $198)

-H&M Sheer Bird Print Top - $13

-H&M Orange Mini Skirt - $6

Hope your Christmas was awesome and you got exactly what you wanted.  I know I asked Santa for sleep and I got that plus my all time favorite perfume Flowerbomb.  Other than that I just spent the days off in between my hectic work schedule  with family and tons of food.  I am pretty sure I will be wearing the bird top and orange skirt for New Years Eve.  Every year I get fanatic about what to wear and end up spending the whole day looking for items that only exist in my head and by the time we get ready to head out I am exhausted.  That coupled with a few drinks leads to me looking for a dark corner to power nap in so I'm gonna make it easy.  All I need to finish the look is a pair of navy blue socks and gold stappy heels.  

And yes I will be freezing my ass off upon entry to the club but its the price with Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon off I will have enough time to nurse my cold....lol

 

****Navajo Dreams - What I Want****

So after merchandising the hell out of the Denim & Supply department at work today, my want list just got a bit larger. Although I've had my eye on a handful of pieces...namely the beacon snorkel above that remains illusive in the states but completely available in the UK which is always the case and always upsetting...I figured I'd share and document it for easy reference in the future...lol

These babies will be mine this week as they are on sale now!!!!

Another illusive piece that I'm drooling over...

And this shirt will also be mine this weekend...another sale item that I can't pass up

Its unfortunate but I am happy to say that my "shopping block" so to speak has been lifted and I am once again hungry for newness in my closet. All I can say is I better start listing some new jewelry pieces on Etsy fast...lol
