Full Sequin Jacket

Shoes: Target | Pants: Target  | Jacket: Ann Taylor (Only a couple of sizes left online) | Bag: Kate Spade

If there are two things that I love in this world, it's sequins and a good sale.  I'm even more elated if the two are joined in a beautiful matrimony.  I probably shouldn't have been in Ann Taylor but if we're being honest, I should never be anywhere where anything is sold but that's another story.  As soon as I saw this jacket I knew we would be friends, it was just one of those pieces that drew me in instantly.  I was just sure that it was going to be way out of my budget but I was pleasantly surprised to see a $69.99 price tag and take an extra 60% off that.  After I found my size and tried it on, I was officially on a shopping high.  I was so pleased that I decided to ignore J. Crew's siren call from across the shopping center, I guess there's a first time for everything.   

Chambray, Chambray, Chambray

Top: JCP | Skirt: Ann Taylor | Shoes: Zara | Sunglasses: Kate Spade Necklace: Old Navy | Rings: J. Crew, F21 | Bracelets: J.Crew

My mom recently asked me about the number of chambray shirts I own. I unashamedly own quite a few, I think four to be exact but I'm losing count. Chambray shirts are so remarkably versatile, they can literally be paired with anything and they're so comfortable. I love this pullover style, I have it in a lighter wash and I am constantly reaching for this classic button-up. Also, these Zara heels are one of my  favorite pairs of shoes, I got them during last season's Spring/Summer sale for $9.99. Talk about a steal.

P.S. The tripod and I got along today, so enjoy the 30 billion shots.

Sparkle and Shine

My photographer decided I had to do a plié

Top: The Main Attraction Boutique | Bottoms: Gap | Shoes: Ann Taylor 

I decided to basically go big or go home with this look, I mean what else do you expect from me?  I got this sparkly top from a boutique in Downtown Memphis called The Main Attraction, I discovered it about a month ago and Alley Cat and I hit it up on our day-date downtown.  There was no way I was going to be able to resist this shirt, it has sequins, and tasteful sequins at that! I also love the color and the exposed zipper in the back, all the great trends without being a train wreck.  It was a major plus that it was on sale and I also got it for an additional something off, so I only paid like $26 for it.  That is what you call a steal.  The pants are the black pants that I wear way too much, just like that skirt, I just can't help it.  Everyone was rather shocked that I was wearing pants, they are every time I come in sans dress or skirt.  Let's take a moment to gaze at the shoes...I got them from Ann Taylor on one of my many shopping trips with Alley Cat (we do some serious damage together).  Kudos to her for spotting these for me, they were on sale and then there was an extra 40% off when you signed up for the emails! Hello!  I paid a little over $20 for these masterpieces that were originally $158, go ahead comment and tell me how much you hate me. I'll forgive you.  I felt like a unicorn that day, you couldn't miss me if you tried.
