Weather-Limbo

I've had this top for a while now and like most of my clothes, it got a little lost in the shuffle. But since the weather is going through that painfully annoying transition phase, the timing seemed just right. I was concerned that I would need a lot of assistance getting into this top but much to my surprise, I managed. That is not to say that I did not get a little wild from time to time and loosen a snap, but I also recovered. Also, let's take a moment to talk about these gorgeous booties!! I've recently developed a Shoedazzle problem, and these shoes are one of my many recent purchases. When I ordered them I knew I would like them but I had no idea that I would LOVE them. They are gorgeous and actually really comfortable, they'll also be a nice transitional piece while we're stuck in weather-limbo. Since they're pretty edgy, I loved pairing them with this super girly top for a nice contrast. Oh and did I mention that I only got them for $9.95? Sorry friends, I checked and the beautiful beauties are no longer on the website.

Weekend Haul

So I actually tried the "no-shopping for a month" challenge again and despite a few slip-ups, I did pretty well. I only caught myself buying something a few times and those few times the items were really special so I found a way to justify it. I am getting better at this challenge each time I try it, I may actually start again soon. It's a good thing I was done with the challenge when I went to Madewell this past weekend because I might have picked up a few things. Madewell is currently having their "Extra 40% off" sale items-sale so my friends and I stopped by to see what they had. Now I've found some steals in here before but this trip was unreal, I got amazing deals. I tried to find links to these products but they're no longer on the website; since the prices were so unbelievably low, my guess is that these items were from a past season and they were trying to get rid of them, which is fine by me. So it definitely won't hurt to go to your local store to see if they have these bad boys in stock. But run, don't walk, these prices are unreal. And here's a little tip, if you're a student or still have your student ID, you can use Madewell's 15% off student discount on top of the amazing sale. The sale is also happening online but you can't use your student discount.
