Look What I Got: June Purchases

I actually limited my shopping to a single day in the month of June.  However, that day was one of Bloomingdale's best sales.  Almost everything in the store was on sale, plus I got a $25 gift card for spending $100 in a single purchase.  I've said it before, and I will say it again...the Bloomingdale's Loyalist card is totally worth it!

Look What I Got: Tulle and Owls

Yay!  Finally an outfit post after a 2 week absence!  No one ever told me planning a wedding would be this time consuming.  (If you didn't see yesterday's post, my absence is due to the fact that my wedding is in less than 10 days....and I stupidly refused to hire a wedding planner.)

You know what else is hard?  Trying to figure out how to wear this skirt.  I purchased this tulle beauty during a huge clearance sale at Anthro a few months ago.  However, it sat in my closet because I just could not figure out how to wear it.  I would often take it out, twirl around, and admire the little beaded owls on it.  But then, a stroke of genius...stripes!  Actually, stripes are just my default for when I don't have a better way to wear something.

This weekend I ventured into New York City for a little eating and day drinking.  And, I made a wise choice.  I wore my Toms instead of less sensible and pretty shoes.  I really think I am maturing in my old age.  I returned home after a day out with sore calves, but my feet were blister-free.  I think I made up for lack of fanciness on my feet with a brand new statement necklace and an old favorite Anthro dress.

I have a deep dark secret.  I don't put my seasonal clothes away.  All of my clothes remain in my closet all year round.  The reason for this is mostly because I just like marveling at my entire wardrobe in all it's glory.  So, occasionally I am inspired to take a spring or summer frock out for a spin in the colder months.  The most obvious way (for me, at least) to winterize a dress is to pair it with a cardigan and tights.  However, I sometimes get tired of my "just add cardi" winter slogan.  This time I went really crazy and put a shirt under my dress.  I know...revolutionary.  You can see how I wore this dress previously here.

Sparkles and Fur

It's winter, it's the holiday season....so it's appropriate to go all out and wear sparkles and fur at the same time.

Leggings: Target (similar, worn) | Boots: Macy's (similar, worn)

Necklace: TJ Maxx | Braclets: Bauble Bar (similar here, here & here)

And oh wait...I also wore some faux leather.  I'm just a fashion glutton.  I've also been a food glutton the past few days weeks.  My absence from the blog world is due to my attendance at 4 (wait, 5?) Christmas celebrations.  I have a big family...and we like to celebrate stuff.  So, I've been eating my weight daily in mashed potatoes and cookies.  As of January 2nd, I am going to quit that behavior.  I only have a few more days of absurd gluttony.  I must bask in it.

When I was a kid, my favorite flavors of ice cream were strawberry and mint chocolate chip.  I used to go to the Denville Dairy with my mom and grand parents on summer nights.  I would be so torn between my two favorite flavors.  So, of course, I decided to combine them while out on a family ice cream excursion.  My mom told me I would regret that decision....and I did.  However, I never let her know it.  I choked down that minty fruit mess.  And now I have a dress / necklace combo that makes me relive the worst sundae ever made.
