A Dress From My Momma :)

Still working through my recent mega haul! Thursday was my first day of a QuickBooks training class at the Intuit campus.  I wanted something I could layer in case the room was cold, comfy enough to sit in all day, but still slightly on the professional side.

A blurry iPhone pic from the bathroom lol

andddd back at home! I saw this dress hanging at Gap and immediately loved it, but I didn't want to even try it on because I  knew I couldn't spend that much money.  My mom insisted I tried it on anyways and when I loved it, she bought it for me :)  Yes, I have the best mom ever.

The cardigan was another see-it-and-love-it moment.  I love cardigans in general, and I was looking for something just like this - long, a little on the lighter side.  Perfect weight for our California fall and winter!

And I finally wore my new flats! LOVE. THEM.  So cute, and pretty comfy. They rubbed at one or two spots, but I think that will get better the more I wear them.  Hi boyfriend's feet!

Hi boyfriend's face! :)

Another Heat Wave Outfit

We had a solid heat wave here in the Bay Area for the last couple of weeks, so I've continued my theme of attempting to wear things that I won't be able to wear once it gets colder.

I also wore another part of my recent haul - a new shirt!

My mom actually bought this shirt a couple of months ago in orange, and I never tried it on.  I was never quite sure why, because I always liked it.  So when I saw it on sale online, I went for it in the gray color.

The best part is definitely the back detailing! It is a different fabric with a line of buttons at the top.  See Gap's pics:

This was nice a cool for a hot day! andddd with my wedges:

Another thing I won't be wearing as it gets colder :)

Works Cited:
Shirt and Shorts - Gap
Necklace - American Eagle
Wedges - Bakers? on sale a couple of years ago :)

I also gave my newest eyeshadow (Mulch by MAC) a test drive.  Loving it so far!

Did anyone else shop the end of summer sales? I'm finding myself seriously tempted by a LOT right now!

A Tale of Two Skirts

Two of the newest additions to my closet are these skirts.  They were my late night, online shopping attempts to create my own versions of looks like these:

Simple OOTD Round-up

I was feeling a little uninspired in my outfit choices lately, so I have been sticking to fairly simple outfits that are comfy, but still put together.  I've also been making a semi-solid effort to incorporate some of my summer clothes that can't be remixed very well for the fall or winter.

So, here is what I wore last week:

Last monday started chilly but warmed up quite a lot pretty quickly, thus the layers :)

Works Cited:
Dress- American Eagle
Scarf- Nordy's Juniors
Sweater- Gap
Sandals- Victoria's Secret

And a FOTD with MAC Cranberry eyeshadow...

Since these were the only pictures that came out ok, no big FOTD post.  It was a nice look though!

Tuesday was hot-hot-hot (see here) so I stuck with a simple dress, a favorite that won't make it past these summery days!

Also giving minimal makeup a shot lately.  Not bad, if I do say so myself.

andddd my shoes.  They rock.  Target FTW!

The wedges have gold specks in them, can't really tell in these pictures.

Dress- J. Crew Outlet
Wedges- Target

Wednesday, I realized I had yet to wear this scarf this summer, and that just seemed like a tragedy.

I thought the blue and coral seemed like a nice way to make my outfit more interesting with minimal effort haha!

Can't beat comfort and versatility with shorts, a tank and a sweater!

Tank and Cami- Target
Shorts and Sweater- Gap
Scarf- Urban Outfitters (I think? From our christmas trip to Georgia one year)

I recently got a butt-load (technical term) of new stuff, so expect to see it featured coming up in my next posts!

Here is a preview:

Flats from Ruche! LOVE!

A pile of my new stuff! Still finding homes for all of it :)
