Retail Therapy!!!

Today I went to the Galleria mall for a little retail therapy, just a little. I haven't been to the mall in many moons because I do most of my shopping online.

While there I stopped in my favorite stores probably the only stores I buy from, Urban Outfitters and Zara. Zara had some really nice pieces and shoes there, but a lot of the items were over priced. Nonetheless, I bought into those inflated prices.

Below are the pieces that I tried on but only walked away with 3 out of 6 of those items. Oh while I was at it I captured a pic of my look for the day. I left with the mint green mid rise shorts, the highlighter yellow sheer top and yes I am pairing those two pieces together! I think the color combo is genius. Lastly, I snatched up those pastel, peach, side zipper, hoochy mama shorts! They are made of denim but coated with something to where they look and sort of feel like leather...I love them. They are exactly like those pants shown here.

My outfit details: thrifted shirt which I love and probably has been featured on my blog two other times already, but who cares...the orange/coral pants are a H&M special. All bracelets shown here are created by me.

Primary Colors!

Today's look...kind of an androgynous/preppy style going on here. I didn't have anything major going on today so I kept it simple and low key. I played around with primary colors to amp up my fit. I guess today I'll keep the verbiage short and sweet since I have a tendency to ramble a bit so enjoy!

H&M Part 2...

Yet another H&M shopping spree! Just a little... Today was my second trip to H&M this week and I didn't see any of these items shown here two days ago. So I don't feel too bad about making a second trip.

I liked most of the items I tried on especially the denim top which could be worn off the shoulders, on both shoulders or asymmetrical. Such a versatile top it goes with everything as you can see and very prevalent this Spring.

The items I went home with are: the denim top of course, it would be silly not to. The electric blue tapered chinos, they are very soft to touch, comfy, chic that will transition from casual cute to dressy chic easily. If going for casual cute, I would pair these pants with my leopard oxfords, with a white v-neck and my Kelly green belt with plenty gold accessories. To transition it to dressy chic I would throw on one of my many blazers and swap the oxfords for a nice pair of pumps preferably cognac color with a matching belt. Sorry I digress but that is my thought process when making purchases.

Lastly, I took the paisley dress home too. It's really not my style but it's cute, girly and flirty and I don't think I own anything like it. What else sold me was the fact that it has hidden pockets on the sides. So it was a winner! I liked those mint green pants but they were just too tight and I just bought a coral pair shown in the H&M post. So I did without them.

Enjoy!
Wink wink!

Urban Trench!

It was quite chilly on Friday so I had to pull out the good ole trench. This isn't your traditional London Fog trench, it's more of a lightweight trench which was just perfect for the 50 degree weather we were having.

Any hoo I took these pics in my FAV store Urban Outfitters! I couldn't leave there without making a purchase, so I left with a really cool bag that I've rocked twice already! Pics coming soon!

FAVE 5!

I was feeling breezy yesterday so I decided to put on my newly thrift and FAVE $3.50 maxi skirt. It was a casual look that I wore to church except I had on a denim blazer instead. It got too hot here in Houston so I had to switch it up with my go to and FAVE h&m denim vest. I wear it with everything because it's a great layering piece and I love to layer, it adds a little extra to your fit! :-) Threw on my FAVE white v-neck for more simplicity, my FAVE necklace, right along with my FAVE Ray-Ban shades.
