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!

New ;)

So last Thursday evening, my mom and I went out and got me a whole new autumn wardrobe! My closets and drawers were so FULL of summer things and I only had about two or three long-sleeved shirts from last autumn. So I'm well stocked! Today was a bit cool, and I went a bit overboard and wrapped myself in a warm turtleneck to start out the week. But it was pretty chilly inside the school, and it did help. So yay!

Gray and black were the base, and I mixed in a little hot pink for a wild, punk-ish look. It worked out quite nicely and looked very hip!

I don't know if I've shown these shoes on here before! I got them when I went to Kentucky to visit my grandparents. I had been wanting them like crazy for several weeks since I saw them at Target, and I mentioned that to them. On the last week I was there, we all went to Target to look for them. Actually we were planning on going to several in case one of the Targets ran out. But I found them at the first one we visited! So I took them to the checkout and was all ready to pay, but just as I was about to give my cash to the lady, my GrandMary swiped her credit card before I could do it!! 'Pulled a fast one on her,' she said later. I was so surprised and a little confused. They spoil me to death!! So I wore these today because they went so well with the rest of the outfit. Gahhh I love them so!!

It's the first day of October and there are so many leaves everywhere! I really like October; it's where everything cools off, but not too much (usually). And Halloween! Haha. 

When my mom and I went shopping I chose a lot of dark brown things. It's a fabulous fall color--especially when you can pair it with something nice (I suggest dark yellow and/or orange). Tomorrow maybe I'll do something brown. But I shouldn't wear all the new things at once (makes you look like you were desperate to get new things because you're poor...hehe). I'll spread everything out somehow.

Happy October!
