Fashion Trends I Picked Up

Spring is coming. I am exited. It calls for new, fresh clothes! Spring is my favorite time of year to shop. We have a new color of the year and a light, brighter color palette for the season. All the trends are a step up from the year before. This year so far, I went to Burlington Coat Factory, Old Navy, and Kohl's. Everywhere had chiffon tops, mixed metals + studs, and pastels. I wanted to buy everything! let me show you what I got:

Kohl's $25

A quarter length peach, chiffon {sheer} top with an oxford style collar with gold studs on the tips. This is the epitamy of what I have been seeing from store to store for this season. Pastels, Sheer Fabrics, Studs, + Metallic's. Everything I love so much. I found this top in the juniors section. It was much cheaper than any of the other chiffon tops from Lauren Conrad, Apt 9, Vera, or any of the other designers in that section. And for that matter, it was the cutest! The brand is IZ Byer.

Burlington Coat Factory $17

How adorable are these freakin shoes?! They are by the "Wanted" brand. I needed a new pair of nice flats and since these were $17, I grabbed 'em. Made from a metallic type of fabric, these are a cool toned taupe metallic color with gold studs. I love the little bow. Classy with an edge. These go perfect with the above blouse. Along with these earrings, I have the perfect outfit.

Burlington Coat Factory $7

I cannot go clothes shopping without getting some cute, comfy clothing. 9 times out of 10, I wear comfy clothes. The only time I get dressy is if im going out, if I have something special to do, or for OOTD's. In the summer I love dresses but I just really hate jeans so I feel like every day is either a yoga pants or sweats day. As long as they are cute! These peach sweats were too cute, useful, + too cheap to pass up. They have a white, thicker/wider draw string and go 3 quarters of the way down my leg. They were made to roll up. Like I mentioned, I am a sucker for anything pastel or dusty in color. $7!? How can you beat that?!

Old Navy $5

I actually bought this right after Christmas, right when everything at Old Navy is like %75 off.  I get at least 1 thing from the sale a year. I just thought this was really cute. A pink and teal colored jersey style tee.

Question of the day:

What is your favorite line from Kohl's? 

Lauren Conrad, ELLE, Apt 9, Vera, Rock and Republic are some of the designers I know off hand.

My favorite is Lauren Conrad. She always hits the spot for my trend craving's season after season. Have you seen her new collection?

I love it!

Kohl's & Old Navy Fashion Haul

Old Navy 75% off

ok now are you ready for the awesome deals that only come around once a year at Old Navy? It's my annual trip to Old Navy and I got there earlier this year so there was plenty of options. You really can't pass up a deal like this

The first 2 things I found were these really adorable floral blouses. I love the fit of these shirts, they are really slimming on me and seeing them on a hanger or in a picture just doesn't do any justice- at all. Ok now are you ready for the price......$4.50!!!!

I recently did an OOTD with some of the clothes I bought if you wanna check it out 

I also bought some cardigans for $6 a piece! I almost had a heart attack when I seen these prices, and then I almost had another when I tried everything on and seen how nice it all fit. 1 navy one (which I think really brings out the navy in the floral blouse in the picture above, don't you?) and also a black one.

This next top is just a nice flowy magenta top that fit me so nice. I think that if the floral tops were $4 something then this top at $8 was wayyy overpriced. But when it comes to normal pricing I thought it was a steal. Since I don't have just a picture of the magenta shirt, here it is next to my floral tops:

 Kohl's

I got some Christmas $$ and my bf Phil gave me $30 Kohl's cash, so you know where I was headed....When I got there I noticed everything was on sale- clearance status. Lauren Conrad pieces for $3-$4 a piece, which were all sizes XXS or XXL. damn. I found the Elle rack and realized all of their newer tops were 50% off so I immedialtly grabbed a couple and went to the dressing room. Many OOTD's are coming soon- I wanna show off my new purchases!

Elle Top $38 marked down to 50% off making it $19. Out of the 2 things I purchased, this one was my favorite. I just really loved the fit of it. It is perfect for the winter months because I can easily throw a cardigan over top or I can wear it alone in the summer.

Elle Top $40 marked down 50% off making it $20. I really loved this because I dont have anything like it. I love how it buttons around the neck with the little tie on the side of the neck line. I think it looks better with a sweater over top just because the arm hole swoops down a little lower then I would like it to.

With my Kohl's cash I spent $10 for everything. Yay me! Here's a better picture of the prints of the Elle tops:

I wanted to get some jewelry really bad but I figured I could hold off for a few days because I need to go to Burlington to grab a coat. So while im there I will grab a coat, some shoes, and jewelry. haul coming soon

I know these pictures do not do any justice because none of them are seen on my body so be on the look out for more OOTD's!

Did you guys go shopping the day after Christmas? Where did you go? What did you buy?

OOTD: Pefect Spring Day

Yes, I know it's not spring guys! This was actually done in June when it started getting nice out in Ohio, this was the last day I wore long sleeves: 

Shoes- I got them at Burlington Coat Factory not sure of the brand!
Jeans- Fire Jeans the Lisa Skinny Jean- I think I got em at Penney's
Tank Top & Sweater are from Old Navy
Necklace- Body Central

please forgive the aim of this "photo-shoot" as my mom took them and didn't really "zoom-in" to see my outfit as a whole! so I hope you guys enjoyed it anyways! And I will get better with my OOTD pictures, its just hard because I am not the one taking them! (:
