marvel...

so i am definitely not into comics or super heroes or any of that kind of stuff.

but i've grown up with a big brother who is.

so when i saw this top at rue21, i knew i needed it.

(...cause he is in the army and i miss him...)

it was super cheap and i thought it would be perfect to just lounge around in.

but when i got home i decided to fancy it up with my best black pants, boots, and blazer.

and i think it is actually one of my very favorite outfits.

when shopping- take risks, buy unexpected things.

they may just turn out to be some of your most beloved items. 

top: rue21

jacket: frenchi via t.j. maxx

pants: merrilee's swimwear boutique (laguna beach)

boots: michael kors via dillards

chambray and leather...

2 staples for every girl's closet.

dear fall, i will miss you.

 in less than two weeks, i will be living in southern california.

although i am so excited to live just a few miles from the beach where it is sunny and warm year-round, i will miss the changes that come with each season.

especially fall.

in fact, i just found out that i will be spending thanksgiving this year with my california relatives at the beach.

thanksgiving at the beach...?

as wonderful as it sounds, it just doesn't seem right.

and oh man, what am i going to do when christmas time comes around and i can't wake up each morning hoping the streets are covered in snow??

well...

i guess i'll just have to go to the beach and get over it!  

i think i will survive :)

here's to fall...

 top: h.i.p. via t.j. maxx

leggings: mossimo via target

elle woods inspired...

if i were going to harvard law school, i would totally rock the pink blazers, pink heels, pink pencil skirts, etc.

and that is exactly what i like to imagine while wearing this outfit...

however, i do not go to law school and i do not have a job where i get to attend business meetings and important business lunches...

so, church will have to do!

but it's ok to dream about it...

blazer: h&m

skirt:h&m

belt: varga

shoes: enzo angiolini via nordstrom rack

clutch: francesca's

watch: michael kors via dillards

bracelets: aerospostale and jessica simpson via t.j. maxx (gold bangle)

why every fashionista should thrift shop.

 i love shoes.

love, love, love them! 

when i am low on money, i can't even go near the shoe section in certain stores because it's just too painful.

while at savers a few weeks ago, i was basically given a pair of beautiful heels.

they were so new that the original price tag from dillards was still on the bottom of the shoe.

the original price tag read $90- i got them for $10! 

boom baby.

and this is why every fashionista should hit up their local thrift shops every once in a while...

 jean jacket: aeropostale

striped tank: romy

skirt: romy

belt: unknown via designer shoe warehouse

shoes: enzo angiolini (thrifted, of course!)

necklace: rue 21

watch: michael kors via dillards
