That feeling you get when you finally find the style of jeans or shoes you've been searching for and not only do they exist.. but the price tag is red.. RED!! It means only one thing - they are on sale. I love that word. I get this tingly feeling in my chest and this urge to walk fast, really fast to the direction of the sign. My boyfriend says that's how they get us. That might be true... but I've done enough shopping to know whether or not an item is worth the price. I always go for quality over quantity. So you can't "get" me, ha! Oh shopping, you give me such joy. No wonder you are so easy to love.
I used to love Coach and their collection back in college (~3 years ago) especially their wristlets. It wasn't until recently that I started liking them again. This mini bag is perfect for my everyday use. Ever since I moved to San Diego, all I really carry around is a mini wallet, cell phone, lip balm, lotion, and keys.. and that's it. I love how I can just dump these things in the bag and just go. I was never one to hold bags for too long either, so the long shoulder strap is a must for me.
Paige denim... I have fallen in love with you. Before I met Paige, my closet was full of Express jeans. They actually fit really well on me, are comfortable, and affordable (when on sale with coupons of course). But Paige is comfortable at a whole different level. Their fit is just right. It isn't too tight on me and I don't find myself tugging and jerking my jeans up every so often like I would with Express jeans. If you've ever found THE jeans, you know what I mean. You put it on and it just feels so right. Even after the 38th time wearing it. Another brand that gives me this feeling is Rich and Skinny. Both these brands, I encountered at TJ Maxx and Marshalls, two of my favorite places to shop. They were about $79 as opposed to $100-200 retail. Be careful of the style though even if they are the same brand. The jeans in the picture are "Peg Skinny" style.
Once in a while you can find good quality items at a good price at H&M. This time, I was in luck. I found this amazing blazer. It's a stretchy polyester-esque material (I haven't checked the label to see exactly what type of fabric). I like how it is flowy yet fitted... if that makes sense.
We cannot forget about the shoes. I was so excited to purchase these and I think big part of it was because it was only $14.99. Zara, just take my money. I have been looking for ankle strap shoes, in suede specifically, and ones with a low heel. I wished for it and now I have it. Magic. I've always envied girls that can wear 4inch, 5inch heels. High heel shoes always look sexier. But I am weak and cannot handle the pain. Plus I'm kind of tall (5'5") and most of my friends are short so I would tower over them with heels.
Hope you enjoyed my overly detailed OOTD :)
