New things

Two weeks ago my mom and I took a small trip to Savers just to browse. Of course, I ended up getting a few things! Just 2 tops and a pair of shoes. I wore one of the tops on Monday (I really should have posted...oh well), and I wore the other one and the shoes today. I also should not have worn them both at once! That is a complete no-no for me!! You shouldn't just wear every new thing you buy all at once!! That makes you look poor!

It's not really a 'top'...I just say that to everything worn above the belt, really! Wearing this shade of purple is kind of Easter-y, so you need to pair it with certain shades to make it season-appropriate. I thought of darker colors, which made me instantly think dark dark blue (a very navy color with a bit of a wild one can be VERY stylish). So I took some stripes and it was very good. I thought of a scarf, which I replaced with a necklace, to get a more sophisticated look.

Look at these beauties! They were about $5! I tried them on at the store and could NOT leave without them! With my petite feet it is hard to find nice shoes in my size. So these were really good! It was very rainy today, so it was not a good idea to wear them, especially the first time wearing them. But they were just so cute with the rest of the outfit, and I didn't want to just do plain black flats like I usually do. And now that they're broken in they'll be cozy the next time I do wear them.

Tomorrow, for my 'Building my Future' class, we're taking a field trip to H.B. Fuller to meet with our mentors we've been e-mailing. We have to wear something nice to make a good impression. I try to dress nice every day, so it shouldn't be hard at all. I was thinking of something stylish, but original; comfy, but classy; a bit professional, but not boring. I was planning on something with a scarf...maybe on top of a darker, autumn-y top. I don't wear skirts often, but maybe I'll wear one tomorrow. Hmm. I might post results so stay tuned!
