rediscovered love: h&m

I spent the last several days in Indy for a work outing to the 500. It was pretty awesome. I did a little shopping while I was up there, of course. Sadly, I did not find anything worth buying at Anthropologie. I did, however, find a few great buys at H&M.

I scored this maxi dress for $12.95! It’s a bit on the sheer side, but nothing a pair of nude undies won’t fix.

I also bought this cute maxi skirt for $19.95 & a rust colored racerback tank to go with it. I plan to wear the skirt pulled high up on my waist over the tank & belted with my BDG Stretch Belt in brown.

treesje addict

I just bought my third Treesje off Amazon. I love, love, LOVE their bags. The Italian leather is to die for. I have Tristan in grey, Hudson in cognac & now Bliss in black.

Bliss is on sale for $238 on Amazon & today is the last day for 30% off an $80 handbag purchase. I had a gift card, so my total ended up being $132! It retails for $595, so I’m pretty pleased with myself.

review: modcloth sorbetto in the garden skirt

I ordered this skirt on a whim last Wednesday. They were already sold out of it in size medium, so I went ahead & bought a large. ModCloth offers free returns & I figured it was worth paying the $7 shipping to try it.

 
I’ve never been so happy to fit in a size large! This skirt is perfection. It’s super flattering & it’s lined, so it’s not sheer at all. (I was worried it might be; seems like everything’s sheer nowadays.)

Even pulled up as high as it is in the picture below, it still falls right at the bottom of my knee. I consider that a perfect length for me. For reference, I’m approximately 5’4”.

 
It’s obviously meant to be worn with a top tucked in, so I bought this top from Maurices to create a perfect outfit for the office. I can’t wait till the weather warms up enough to wear it without freezing my ass off.

i’m reminded…

…that I really need to buy this shirt! I’ve only wanted it for about 4 years now.

Friday the 12th T-shirt

The next Friday the 12th is in August, so I have time. Which means I’ll likely forget again, until the next Friday the 13th.

And yes, I’m planning to wear it exclusively on Friday the 12th. Is it worth buying a shirt that I will only wear about twice a year? Yes. The answer is yes.

impulse buying

In case you were wondering, I am still alive. It’s been a crazy busy week. The bf & I have been doing some house shopping. We looked at house #3 this past Friday & fell in LOVE. It’s definitely the one! We’ll probably be making an offer later this week or early next week. Fingers crossed!

I went into my local Maurices today with dress pants on the brain & walked out $100 poorer with no new dress pants. Sigh. It seems like I do this every time I go in there! I usually end up experiencing buyer’s remorse & return most of the items. I’m actually pretty happy about the things I purchased, despite the impulsiveness.

Thin Stripe Tube Dress

I was excited to spot this dress. It’s a dead ringer for AE’s Striped Tube Dress, which I wanted sooo badly… until I tried it on in a store. I didn’t find it to be flattering at all & it was completely sheer. Maurices’s version looks great on & my panties were concealed. Yay!

Scoop Neck Tank

Casual items were buy one, get one 50% off, so I felt pressured to get something half off. I grabbed my favorite layering tank in black. I think it could potentially look good layered under my new tube dress. I looove these tanks! Highly recommended, especially for the price!

Floral Belted Skirt

This skirt is way cuter in person than it looks online, I promise! I’m more of a dress person, so it will be interesting to see if I ever actually pull for this.

Capped Sleeve Ruffle Button Up Top

The material of this feels a bit cheap for my liking, but it looks really good on. I love it tucked into the Floral Belted Skirt. It would also look great tucked into a grey pencil skirt, which is now on my shopping list.

lust list: anthro dresses

I sent the bf an email today requesting a trip to Indy or Nashville so I can hit up Anthropologie. As I explained to him, if I don’t try on these dresses soon I might die. Perhaps that’s a smidge dramatic, but I do need to check these lovelies out in person STAT.

Verdant Slip Dress

Between the color & floral print of this frock, I’m in looove.

Pezza Dress

Green isn’t my first choice in this dress (also comes in navy, sold out online), but I’m intrigued by this color.



Charcoal Terrace Dress

This dress is so pretty! I don’t $158 like it, but if it looks good on I’ll consider it at sale time.




Beaded Foliage Shift

There is absolutely no way I could justify spending $228 on a dress, but this is so gorgeous! I hope it lasts till a $99.95 mark down!



Gathered Hemlock Dress

Now with this one, my first choice is green. I loved the Soft Structured Dress on, but wasn’t sold on the print of the navy. I love the solid green & shorter sleeves on this. I imagine wearing it with a pretty floral scarf & my Rosegold Casey Wedges. I think I just convinced myself to move this dress to the top of my list.
