Shopping and coffee with friends

Scarf: similar, similar

Shoes: actual, similar, similar

I wore this outfit for a casual day at the mall for coffee and pedis with friends. This was my first time wearing my new wedge sneakers. When they first started coming out I wasn't sold. I've never been a huge fan of sneakers with everyday clothes- it seems just a little too relaxed. With yoga pants or sweats sure. (But really...never wear sweats in public unless its to the gym mmmkay?) And definitely not with a cardi sweater. 

I bought the shoes on a whim to try them on with different styles at home. It wasn't until I asked my fiances opinion that I was hooked. He said he actually liked them. ::GASP::

He never says things like that. 

I lie. 

He does tell me what he likes and doesn't like on me and he's honest every time. I know because there's been times when I think something looks smoking  hot and he says...meh. 

& Vice versa

Anyways he says to me I look comfortable and relaxed and meanwhile I feel taller and just a wee bit more confident with the wedge. So I kept them. They were perfect for mall exercises.

Then I bought this pair after seeing DulceCandy on Instagram with them. 

It was a steal from Delias at $50 shipped cause Google told me they were going for $100 everywhere else. It was on sale- last in my size- perfect color- love at first sight status.  I had no where to go but I didn't want to take them off. 

The rest of the outfit is tired but true. Gap tee, Old Navy jeans and Target   cardigan been in my closet forever. The scarf is the most recent purchase last fall when I was on the hunt for a animal print scarf  and obsessed with colored everything. 

Lets be real...I still am.

P.S. I managed my first sock bun! It took me a few tries and maybe a little frustration (thank you layers) but I got it! What should I try next??

Shirt: Not available online check stores. 

Jeans: not available in this color- check stores, similar

Shoes: same, similar, flats, sale

I rocked this fierce shirt for a friends bday event last month. 

Hibachi and karaoke...how fun?!

I'm unfortunately the kind of girl that needs something new for every event even though I have an overflowing closet. Its something I recognize and need to work on yet...its an endearing quality no?

I went to Kohls originally looking for LCs red blazer. I was inspired by a blog post on LaurenConrad.com where one of her writers styled a red blazer four ways. 

(How cute is she?!)

The blazer was not at my local store and unavailable in my size at the time per the kiosk, so I had to rethink my strategy.

I came across this top on the clearance rack and was fascinated by the colors. In general I'd think something like this was a little too busy but the colors are what attracted me. That and the material which is silky in front and jersey in the back, and the relaxed cut is something that I enjoy on days I'm not feeling tip top. 

I had just received the jeans in the mail and thought they'd be perfect. 

Now, what shoes to wear?

I could have gone the safe route and went with classic nude. But I was feeling daring and fierce at that point and thought-- lets scope out the shoe scene. 

BAM!

Clearance pumps for $10 (with card and coupon).

Of course, I wanted these originally. No dice. 

I love the design and the heels not too high that I wouldn't be able to wear them for a night out. 

I've never really looked at Rock and Republic when shopping but this shirt and those neon shoes have made me keep my eyes out for more finds. Have you ever overlooked a brand only to find something later on that has made you change your mind?
