operation: color me stylish - day 8

Day 8.

I really wish I could have been able to post these pictures on their current dates! I had been having the worst week (started last Thursday)... it seemed like bad luck was following me everywhere. First, my car got towed, then I burned my fingers on my hair straightener, I left my work keys at home and started breaking out in stress pimples [growls under breath...]!

Anyways, we aren't here to talk about all the bad, are we? Nope! We're here to look at clothes...
....keep scrolling!

The mixture of browns and blues turned out nice. For some brightness, I threw on these cool golden orange earrings and a bracelet I tacked on to my order from Urban Original, back during my birthday. I purchased this skirt from American Eagle Outfitters... one of like three items I've gotten from that store. I like their preppy vibe, but IMHO they want a little too much for some of their more basic pieces. The eyelet detail on this skirt made it a must have though... ;)

Jacket: Marshalls. You can check out my other post on it here.
Shirt: Walmart $5
Skirt: American Eagle Outfitters $12
Boots: Payless $30. Another gift from the boyfriend! Ahhh... he knows I melt for stylish shoes!
Bracelet: Urban Original $4
Earrings: H&M $3
Glasses: Prescription. For those that do wear glasses, mine are Converse [side note: I didn't know they even did glasses, but they have some really cute, youthful styles.]!

I hope everyone else had a better transition into this week more than I did! ;)

operation: color me stylish - day 7

I got a new camera yesterday!!! Woo hoo!!!

Can you guys tell that I am super psyched?? As I promised, I'm playing catch up with my photos. Actually, there will be a couple of posts following this one...

Check me out in day seven's outfit.

So... whaddaya think? I liked it. I felt really girly, but comfortable at the same time. I just adore the shirt because it's got these really forgiving sleeves, especially considering my upper arms are one of my "not-so-favorite" areas. The sparkly headband is my favorite, plus I'm a sucker for anything with bows! You prabably can't tell, but my skirt has got tiers and my peep-toe wedges have bows too. So cute, no?

Top: BCF $7
Skirt: Marshalls $10
Scarf: Walmart??
Headband: H&M $2.80
Peep-toe Wedges: Payless (from FOREVER ago). Can't remember the price! However, just about any pair you find there will be affordable...
Earrings: Kohls $5

Hope you like it! ♥

i say yes to Sprummer

What is Sprummer, you ask? Sprummer is that little pocket of time between Spring and Summer where the weather has decided it can do whatever it wants from 80˚ scorching, sunny days to blustery winds and mini-monsoons (is mini-monsoon an oxymoron?)! So then why say ‘yay’??! For the cute style opportunities of course! Take a look at these…

Aren’t those some of the cutest shoes? One of the coolest things is that they were each less than $10! The black pair is from Payless. One word: BOGO. Because of BOGO I got them for $9.99, when they were originally about $30. Saved myself twenty dollars! As for my faves (cream pair), these were just too cute to resist! I got them from the Gap and they were marked down to $14.99. I know, I know. That’s not ten dollars, right? Well, it was after I applied my discount coupon I received via email! If I recall right, I was able to purchase those sandals, another pair in black (for my mommy), a cute plaid skirt and some boxers to sleep in. Less than $25 spent, which would have been the Payless shoes alone, full price… If you ask me, that is true fabulosity! Now, what will I pair these with? ;)
