take me back...

with spring on the way, i couldn't help but blog about an outfit involving shorts!

i went to forever21 a few weekends ago and bought myself a romper.

i've never had one before, but i found this one for less than 7 dollars in one of their clearance bins.

they were practically giving it to me.

it always shocks me how you can't go into any popular stores now without being bombarded with eighties styles.

i remember my sophomore year of high school, we had eighties day for homecoming week.

i went to the mall and searched every single store.

i couldn't find a single peice of clothing that looked like it was from the eighties.

But today, eighties day would just look like any other day.

this honestly is the only item i own though that fits into the eighties category.

i just can't seem to find my groove with the trend right now.

but so far, i'm liking this.

maybe i'll go back for more... 

romper: forever21

top: downeast basics

shoes: miss bisou (i think i got them at macy's, i can't remember!)

belt and sunglasses: rue21

accessories: jessica simpson, aeropostale, and maurices

when two worlds collide

one of the looks that i think is totally adorable is when you mix two types of outfits into one.

for example, in this outfit i took some nice pants, a fancy vest and heels and mixed it with more of a "hardcore" tee and jewelry with some dark eye makeup.

i call it my classy meets rocker look!

if you keep this in mind, you'd be surprised by how many different outfits you can come up with in that closet of yours...

tee shirt: affliction (bought at http://www.afflictionclothingstore.com/)

vest: express

pants: gap

shoes: bcbg girls (bought at macy's)

accessories: macy's

one of these "bracelets" is actually a wrapped up necklace.

have a wonderful week everyone!!

my very first fashion post...

so i wasn't originally planning on doing this.

but i went shopping yesterday and found these shoes.

aren't they beautiful?

but here's the thing.

they were orginally $100.

yeah, and i got them for $22.

and that is why i shop at marshalls.

they were on an additional clearance, so they weren't originally this cheap.

but still!

i didn't even think twice before putting them in my cart.

then i thought, i have to tell people about this.

i'm always looking at other girls' fashion blogs, and so i thought maybe i would give it a shot.

so here's what you must know.

my mom and i went out this morning to take these pictures, and the weather, well, it was 27 degrees!

so i was freezing.

i wish there was a word for colder than freezing.

because that's what i was.

so we worked fast.

and i mean fast.

so the pictures aren't perfect, but here's what we got...

outift:

top: downeast Basics

shrug: folio (received from a friend. kayla, where'd you buy this??)

skirt: sans soucci (bought at marshalls)

belt: calvin klein (also bought at marshalls)

shoes: Steve Madden (bought at marshalls, it's the place people!)

accessories: maurices and macy's.

   

ok and this next one i just couldn't resist posting.

here's my photographer.
