All You Can Eat

I think everyone needs a hot date shirt that they can feel comfortable in, cute, and feel like it flatters- particularly when you're going out to eat a burger the size of your head. Yes, I did it. Did I mention these shirts are better when you considered paying full price at Anthro and then found it at a consignment store, where you traded in shorts to get it free?

At Last

I found this vintage shirt way back in Feb. when I took my trip to LA. For some reason I never pulled it out to wear until today- what was I thinking?

Senorita

Something about red and black takes me back to that magical night during my study abroad in Mexico where a Mariachi band came and played for my entire class. We danced under the moonlight, and I remember thinking how it was the most romantic setting in the entire world. Red and black with a flower behind the ear will always bring that kind of nostalgia out!

Dress: Target, $20, Shoes: Last Chance, $20, Watch: Wal-Mart, $10, Flower: Taken from a sweater actually!

Great Gatsby

I wish I could have thrown on a 1920's hat- maybe in my next job hats won't be banned.

J Crew

I drool over the JCrew catalog every time it comes, but my budget conscious self always swashes hopes of purchases. I can't tell you of my excite when the summer clearance event happened, I now own 4 JCrew shirts. I will say, these polos are so amazing, I may consider full price in the future!

Add Some Luck

It was one of those blah Fridays at work when I took this picture- I just wanted to put on all my lucky finds to brighten up one of those days you just know is going to be rough!
Shirt: H&M (lucky since I'd been looking for one like this for years), $16, Jeans: Tommy, $10 (lucky price for awesome jeans), Tank: Gap, $6 (color and price oh boy), Earrings: Custom, Shoes: Last Chance, $20 (I'll check which designer made these babies, but they are the highest quality, most comfortable heels I now own)

Little Girly

I am told often that I don't look my age, and thus I try to dress to look a little older to be taken seriously at work and with my professors. Today I scratched that entirely, I felt like a young girl, looked like a young girl, and decided to bask in the mid 20's!
