It Was All Yellow

I feel like I'm getting a little bit more used to the new hair, it's been so long since I've had bangs though that they are going to be a major adjustment. I felt very summery today in my yellow dress, but I'm not sure how I feel about the belt. Belting something always makes me feel awkward, for whatever reason. At least I get to enjoy the sunshine!

Haircut!

I woke up late today had about five seconds to throw an outfit together before I had to head out the door, I think for the amount of time I put in it's pretty acceptable. My haircut, however, I'm not thrilled with. Especially for the amount I paid! This is definitely the last time I take my mom's advice on a hairstylist. I can't wait to go back to school so I can get my hair cut by my trusty stylist there instead!

The Goods

Both of these items (top and skirt) are from the Richard Chai line for Target, they're so adorable and well made! This is definitely by far my favorite Go International collaboration so far, I've actually never even been tempted to buy anything from that line before but I got three items in one sitting yesterday! I also got a great blue blazer, but it's pretty warm so pictures of that might have to wait until more fall weather rolls in!

Today's outfit:

Big Spender

I went back to school shopping today with my mom and dropped over $100 on stuff at Target. I wouldn't have spent nearly as much but the new Richard Chai line is just so cute that I had to snap up 3 amazing pieces. I'll try and make a "just purchased" post tomorrow. A quick look at my outfit of the day before I run off to work. I know it's plain, I just was so tired and blahh today I could barely even think about getting dressed.

Today's Outfit

Just got back from thrifting at Unique Thrift in Falls Church, VA. Someone told me it's the biggest thrift store in Northern Virginia and after being in there, I believe it! That place is HUGE! It's almost a problem how big it is, it would take a couple of days to sort through everything in there and it's very hit or miss. The prices were pretty good though and I bought a really cute mens workshirt that is going to look great belted over tights!

Pictures of my outfit for the day:




Dress: Necessary Objects
Shoes: Coach
Necklace: Forever 21
Sunglasses: Ray Ban


Also, this is my last post until Sunday as I'll be in Philadelphia with my boyfriend. I'll try and post pictures from my trip!

Philly!

Allow me to preface this post by saying that yes, I know that my pictures suck. I'll hopefully start getting nice ones as soon as I convince Jamie that I'm in desperate need of her super nice camera and lovely photography skills. So stay tuned. I know, though, that my lack of style picturs is basically the downfall of this blog so I took some crappy ones just to tide you over until the nice ones start rolling in. I'm going to Philadelphia for three days on Thursday to visit the boyfriend and all my school friends and I can't wait! Of course, like the lame fashion obsessed person that I am I have all my outfits planned already and I thought you'd like to take a look!

Day One: Arriving and dinner with school friends







You'll have to excuse what a hot mess I look in these pictures, I worked that day so I basically put zero effort into looking nice. I like this outfit because its super comfy but still nice enough for dinner and it'll make a nice impression on my boyfriend when I get off the train. I'd love to pair this with my black patent heels, but as Rich is already two inches shorter than I am I'll probably stick to flats.

Day Two: Sightseeing and lounging around





I'm planning on dragging Rich downtown and to museums so I needed something chill and comfortable that I could wear out in the nasty weather and not really worry about. I really feel like the shoes make this outfit, I absolutely adore them!!

Day Three:



This is the day I'm going home, boo. I'll probably be exhausted and I probably won't feel like putting in very much effort so this is nice and easy. I'll probably add the necklace and shoes from Day One.

Just Purchased

So, as I had a pretty bad day yesterday, I spent last night looking at the Urban Outfitters website and investing in a little retail therapy. Which, while it did make me feel a lot better, was not good for me in the money department. I promise to reign in my spending, I really do!

Anyway, this is what I bought:






I never wear skirts, so this was a big step for me. I just see so much potential in them and they're so versatile!


Also, add these to the wishlist:


They are so classy and sexy it just kills me. Too bad I don't have a spare 700 or so dollars.
