Speaking of clothes...I made the worst idea on Sunday and ventured to the Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh...on a Saturday...the last weekend before school starts back. It was dreadful. I thought I may find something on sale at H&M or Forever 21. There were lines for the fitting rooms. Nope. Not even gonna deal with that mess. But I totally am going back once I get paid so I can get a few wonderful pieces I found!
Um, I'm in love with the stripe trend. I know horizontal stripes aren't the most flattering, but I can't resist!
I wanted to try this on to gauge how it would really look. I think it would be fab for layering, adding a belt, and a long chunky necklace.
I don't remember seeing this in the store, but I am sort of obsessed with it. I need to see it in person to gauge work/school appropriateness. How awesome is the zipper front??
Love this shirt. Although I just found out that we are not going to be able to wear jeans at all (even on casual Fridayss...wtf??)...so for an oversized shirt that I would typically pair with skinny jeans, I'm stumped. I think I could get away with black skinny jeans. I'm really going to have to re-think my wardrobe. Lots of skirts, tights, pants, belts, a blazer, and jewelry to dress up/distinguish myself from those middle schoolers!
Such a pretty shirt! But with which bottoms?? Typically I pair empire waisted with skinny jeans. My hourglass shape can't handle wide leg pants and emphasized hips. Certainly I can find straight leg pants?
No words except...I need this shirt asap.
Whoa! Gotta have this! You know a blazer is on my have to have list this year.
Also digging the gorge trench!
They have some of the cutest bags...but I love this one!
I'll update on what actual purchases I make this time next week!

1. I'm obsessed with horizontal stripes. As long as the piece is structured, I say wear it.
2. SUPER SKINNY PANTS AT OLD NAVY. I got a black pair for $19 the other day-- they're not denim and they're perfection. Seriously. I've been hunting for the perfect skinny not-jeans for months and these are exactly what I was looking for. I think they come in grey, too, which is also a nice option if you can't wear jeans.
3. That trench coat is seriously the most beautiful.
Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch!
Ok, hi, I really want that first red and stripped top. MUST. GO. SHOPPING.
I LOVE the striped dress...and the one below it!! Yikes!! So pretty - both of those. And ps - I have that shirt you're not allowed to wear with jeans even on Fridays and all I want to say is: why not?? I don't understand. Dark denim is super dressy. Some ancient person has to be running the HR/dress code department.
I'm seriously confused. Oy
