Some Jazzy Clothes for Early Spring!

questtodress1 Comment

Hello everybody!

I’m back again, this time to talk about my recent acquisitions in preparation for spring! I’ve been spending a little bit too much money lately on overpriced websites, you can thank peer pressure and unhealthy retail therapy habits for that. However, through my impulsiveness I have come to gain some pieces I really love! I think spring is quite a difficult time because it can be snowing one day, but sunny and warm the next? Or, if you live in a crazy area like myself, this upsetting transformation can take place between the time you enter and leave school! My key trick (that I stole from every mom out there) is layering! It’s great to have pieces you can shed or add during the day, and you can change even MORE frequently than the weather.

  1. Burgundy Sweater
You spilled wine? Pas de problème!

Being the basic and conformist girl that I am, I love Urban Outfitters, which proves sad for myself as it is so, so expensive. I got this sweater in white for Christmas and I’ve loved it ever since I plucked it out of tacky reindeer tissue paper and a recycled Amazon box. The material is a really good quality knit, something I missed after a multitude of stretchy fast fashion sweaters (love them, but good quality sweaters make all the difference! ). Urban Outfitters excels at giving classic pieces a contemporary feel, while also ensuring a sense of timelessness. This sweater is in style; however, I have a feeling it will stay that way for decades!

I love the maroon/reddish color (perfect for fall) and the mock neck of this sweater. The knit details are so adorable and give me slight grandma vibes, which is always a good sign! This sweater was originally $60, but I purchased it on sale for $25!

Urban Sweater: here (on sale!) $60

Size: XS

2. Satin Leopard Midi Skirt

There’s been a huge trend of animal prints lately, so I though I’d jump in and try it out. This skirt combines my two favorite things in the whole world midi-length skirt + satin! I feel so luxurious and fancy wearing this, but it’s so comfortable too. I’m still trying to build up my confidence to wear this to school, but I’m sure it will be a popular piece on the trips I have coming up!

Princess Polly: here $40

Size: 4

3. Chain Purse

Cruella?

I’m not that into purses and bags in general, so I try to stick to really versatile items. This purse is black and gold, so it already matches the colors of all of my accessories. I love the gold chain – the closest I will ever get to having hip street style! Overall I think this bag has a (sort of) vintage look and will be great for many outfits. I got it on sale for $10 from Urban Outfitters, a pretty good deal.

Urban Outfitters: SOLD OUT 😦

Size: One Size

4. White Lace Shirt

Say hello to my hair tie


I really love all the feminine white blouses on Instagram and Pinterest! A really pretty and vintage white shirt can meld any clothing into a sophisticated and interesting outfit. I was really happy when I found this shirt in the Goodwill! The lace detailing, sleeves, and buttons really make it look vintage. Not only is this a versatile top that can go with a variety of bottoms, but it also fits me really well. I believe it was $4.99, I got lucky (;

Goodwill, not sure of size! If you want a top like this there are many similar ones at Princess Polly, Urban Outfitters, Dolls Kill, and Verge Girl.

5. Leopard Coat

Hella bougie

Last but not least, the mother of all coats, my leopard faux fur coat. I’ve been trying to buy more outerwear recently, and when I found this, I knew I had to buy it! This coat stays in line with the animal print trends, while also providing warmth and comfort! It brings out my inner zookeeper to the max. It’s certainly more of a statement piece – I don’t see myself wearing this to school quite yet, but one day hopefully! This will be the perfect piece for the date I go on with an 80-year-old incredibly wealthy white guy, I’ll have to find one as soon as possible.

Local consignment store: 15$ similar

Size: Medium

That’s a wrap! I really hope you enjoyed seeing some of the clothing (and accessories) I’ve recently acquired in preparation for spring. Even though I always find that summer is difficult to shop for, I’m excited to start looking for items meant for warmer weather. You’ll probably see these pieces in future posts, so come back again if you like what you see! Until next time,

Outfit to Manifest My Dreams of Spring

questtodressLeave a comment

Hello fellow icicles,

Right now we’re in the depths of winter, a coagulation of school, snow, winter sports, dark evenings, and overall misery. Maybe I have shown up to school everyday wearing the same three oversized sweatshirts, but this is the internet, so I can pretend to be or do anything I desire! And today, I desire to a fashionable and put-together young female living in a world where it’s April and in the mid-60s. Ah, a girl can dream.

Anyway, on this lovely January day let’s take a quick peak at an outfit I’m anxiously waiting to wear. Here she is:

pls ignore the cat-vomit stain I attempted to edit out

Let’s start from the top, right at my unkempt and frisky hair! Cheers for unhealthy locks.

But in all seriousness, I love the layering trend of pairing spaghetti strap tops or dresses over shirts. It’s a great way to stay warm and hide bra straps, especially during the volatile weather of spring.

This is plain, white t-shirt from Brandy Melville under a burgundy camisole that was $8 from Target. Pretty cheap and easy + comfortable!

As seen in my last post, I’m wearing my cropped PacSun jeans. And yes, that is ANKLE, one of my favorite body parts. Ankles are great, absolutely love them, really recommend using them in your outfits.

We have my classic black Chelsea boots. Please, someone, give me your old shoes or something because I use these in every outfit and I should probably stop? What can I say though, they’re the perfect shoe. Also, why do my feet look so large and weird? Idk.

For accessorizing, I threw on my gold belt with black leather and some gold jewelry. I wore a double-layered gold necklace and gold hoops. As mentioned previously, most of my accessories are just gold or black, so I’m really not thriving too hard in the accessorizing game at the moment. My shoe game is hella weak, but shoes are expensive and I always end up wearing sneakers so ahhhhh

Anyway, thanks for stopping by to take a peak at this pretty basic outfit for warmer times. Hopefully spring is right around the corner! Until next time,
