Menswear Inspired

I've come to realize I really adore women who can feel comfortable and sexy in menswear inspired clothing. Someday I will post some examples for all of you to see what I mean. Now, I'm not saying this outfit is particularly very masculine, but I do adore my relatively wide Express pants. I feel really comfortable in this outfit, which is always pretty important to me. Plus, I'm diggin' my skinny belt over the top. I feel like it really polishes off the look.

Outfit Details:
Pants: Express Editor Pants
Top: Forever 21
Belt: Trade from my sister
Heels: Target
Pearl Earrings: Forever 21

Five Urban Outfitters Finds Under $20!!!

Last Friday Kerri said she was going to Urban Outfitters after work and I decided to tag along. I didn't expect to find anything because usually everything is too expensive for my budget, so when I found five items for under $20 each, I definitely left the store happy. Here's what I bought: the tights above for $14, the dress above $19.99 and the first two dresses below for $19.99 each as well!! The third dress below was a lucky find from a thrift store I went to with Kerri a week ago. I bought it for $12.99 which made me happy! It is weird because I checked the Urban Outfitters website today and the prices for these items are more expensive online, so I definitely suggest going into the store to buy items.

Outfit Details for outfit I am pictured wearing above:

Dress: Urban Outfitters $19.99

Tights: Urban Outfitters $14

Shoes: Famous Footwear $20

Necklace: Castro in Tel Aviv

Leather Jacket: Target $70

XOXO,

Lets Go Dancing!

My friend Alyssa and I got ready together last night to go out dancing, and my Mom insisted on taking our pictures. I felt very Marilyn Monroe in this classy halter with polka dots and for $20 the price was right! Alyssa picked up her fabulous dress and boots at a little store called En Vogue about an hour before the photos were taken. I love last minute shopping adventures!

Oh Happy Day

Yesterday was stormy again and I realize I'm really not a rain person. My wardrobe is very much suited for sunny warm weather. So I wore this bright yellow cardigan and flowery top to make things better. I just want to throw it out there that you should never underestimate the power of wearing bright colors. In my experience I always feel a little more cheery when I wear them. Hope everyone has a fun filled weekend! :)

Top: Forever 21
Cardigan: Old Navy
Jeans: Forever 21
Boots: Target $9!
Jacket: Hurley

ps. Don't you think Natalya's last post was amazing. I read it this morning and it made me think about all these happy things in my life right now. I just want to publicly say thanks to Natalya! :)

Happiness is.....

...feeling comfortable in my own skin.
...sticking to my principles even when the going gets tough and the odds are against me.
...watching my neice toddle around in youtube videos sent from my brother and his family in Israel.
...wearing a crazy outfit and risking getting weird looks... and feeling like a million bucks anyway!

...telling a friend/loved one how much greatness I see in them, when they can't see it for themselves.


What makes you happy?

On a Hot Pink Cloud

It was so windy and rainy yesterday, which explains my funny expressions here. When we were looking for a photo session opportunity Kerri and I ran outside to take pictures at a moment when the rain let up, but the wind was still at it so we look rather wind-blown. Anyways, this colorblock dress I found was such a steal at $7 and although I bought it last summer, I decided to turn it into a winter look by adding tights, boots and a blazer because a great thing about the trends this winter are the bright colors being worn. Who says you have to look drab in the winter? I certainly don't!

Outfit Details:

Dress: Styles for Less $7
Tights: Target $7
Boots: Gift from Mom three winters ago - Nordstrom
Blazer: Gift from Mom two winters ago - H&M
Necklace: Walmart $5
Earrings: Old, cant remember?

XOXO,

Plaid Love

Today I wore my favorite new plaid shirt (well it is new to me). I picked it up at Buffalo Exchange and I really like the colors. I paired it with my favorite boots, cozy sweater and messy rainy day braid and was ready to tough out this storm. You can't really tell from the photos, but it has been pouring buckets here!

Top: Buffalo Exchange $8
Jeans: Buffalo Exchange $16
Necklace: Melrose Trading Post $6
Sweater: Element (gift)
Boots: Simply Vera ($50, gift)

Random thought: all of this rain is really making me want to go snowboarding. Anyone agree with me?! Hopefully I can make the trip up to the mountains sometime soon. :)
