Look What I Got: January Purchases

Full disclosure here, I went a little nuts with Christmas presents and my Christmas bonus. I managed to snag a few items that I had been after for months! (i.e. black and brown over the knee boots, a Lilly Pulitzer Skipper Popover, and cage heels).  The next few months I am definitely going to institute austerity measures and try to sell as much as possible on Poshmark.  I just have to keep myself away from the Bloomingdale's and TJ Maxx clearance racks.  Those are my cryptonite.

Pink and Polka Dots

 

Melon Ball Dress: Anthropologie (similar, worn) | Necklaces: Forever 21 via Instagram (similar) |

Sunglasses: Kate Spade via Bloomingdale's Outlet (worn, similar) | Shoes: Jessica Simpson via DSW (worn, exact) |

Bracelets: JewelMint (worn, similar); Urban Gem via Rocks Box (worn) 

I felt like this dress called for teeny tiny necklaces.  The teeny tiny necklaces match the teeny tiny polka dots.  And I am going to make this a teeny tiny blog post because I don't think this dress really needs much more of an explanation.

As you can guess from the post title, I am pretty darn proud of some recent clearance finds.  This dress was just sitting on the Marshall's clearance rack waiting for me with it's cute little red sticker alerting me that it was cheaper than my lunch that day at $10.  It's the perfect little summer wrap dress and I love love love the color.  It's St. Patrick's Day in July here.

And if that wasn't enough of a deal for one day, I snagged these black sandals for just $4 at DSW.  After an extra 70% off the clearance price PLUS a $10 DSW reward, the register read $4.  

Since my jewelry came out of my Rocks Box (which costs $20 per month), I guess you can say my entire outfit cost $34.
