The missing leather jacket

I went to get my hair done yesterday and wore this. I took photos before I left the house then when I was all done and ready to leave I realized that I didn't take a photo of the COMPLETE outfit. I wore a black leather trench coat (that fell right below my behind) <- I couldn't think of a better way to say it! LOL! And I also had on black leather gloves. Oh well!

Knit sweater: Zara ($15.99 from Black Friday)
Turtleneck shirt: Old navy
Jeans: Forever 21
Boots: Banana Republic (fron last years' Black Friday)
Bag: Steve Madden (via Ross)

Brrr

It's been cold cold cold this week in Austin. Winter has kicked in. I wore this today to do some quick errands. I wasn't outdoors very long so the person underneath this outfit survived the 38 degree weather. :)

Leather jacket: Zara
Scarf: Forever 21
Long sleeve shirt: freebie from Lexus (gift from sis)
Jeans: Calvin Klein (these have studs on the front pockets)

Month of sparkles

December is here! There are lots going on this month. Just 24 more days till Christmas. Next week is my sisters birthday and my 4th wedding anniversary. My daughter is turning two the week before Christmas. Definitely a lot of "sparkles" for me! :)

This was a quick outfit for today to do some errands. I got the shirt from the Black Friday sale at Zara for $15.99. They really didn't have much sale going on. This year I was kind of lazy to do all that black friday shopping so I only stopped by Zara, Anthro, and Forever 21. It was very convenient that they were right next to each other. :)

I thought I'd pair this shirt with these studded oxfords from Wanted. I just love the embellishment on these shoes!

Perfect Day

So I was ready for that perfect day last Sunday... and this is what I wore to dinner with some friends.

I found this leather jacket at Wilson's Leather at the Outlet Mall two black fridays ago. It was on clearance plus it was the last one in my size. I love finds like this. I thought it would be great to pair with these cobalt blue pants and booties.

Jacket: Wilson's Leather
Pants: American Eagle

Delayed reaction

My outfit posts will be out of whack this week... too many activities going on...

I wore this last Saturday. It was nice and chilly (but not too cold) so I decided to use my trench coat and scarf. Everything in this outfit is from Zara with the exception of the loafers which is courtesy of Wanted. I saw this "outfit" on a Zara mannequin a while back (different shoes though) and I was drawn to the red/tan combo. This trench is from the kids section by the way... perks of being petite... and much cheaper price too! :)

Keeping it simple

I chose to dress simple today. Just jeans, a blouse and flats. The weather is climbing back up again so I wore this black blouse from Anthro. Will you believe me if I told you that I got this for $17.97?? I will share my deal find at Anthro in my next post. :)

I am in the process of getting rid of old clothes and those that no longer fit me. Sadly, having a baby just adds a little here and there and some clothes no longer fit right! I want my closet to be simple! Then I realized I only have one black top (and it's sleeveless)! So for a while now, I have been searching for a black blouse. I loved this because: 1) of the price!! 2) it just flows right, and 3) the little crochet design on the sleeves and the bottom makes it more feminine. BUT if this was not on sale (retail value was $98), I wouldn't have bought it! :)

Finally!

We finally have some cool weather today! High of 71 degrees! I got so excited I couldn't decide which "cold weather" outfit to wear! :)

So I chose this light sweater from Forever 21. I wore it on top of a satin blouse from Gap, green skinny jeans from Zara and my Intyce boots from Steve Madden I've been wanting to wear since the start of the "ber" months. HSN was having this Steve Madden special a couple of months ago and these boots were selling fast! It was hard choosing the color, I wanted all of them! In the end, I ended up with this since I already have black and brown boots. Who doesn't love those "4 easy payments of $..." deals?! :)

Blues and animal prints

When I first saw this blouse at Zara I thought it was black... I took it home with me and looked closely and realized that it was actually dark blue. Oh well, I love it anyway! :)

So today is going to be a high of 85F! Woot! In this part of the country, we are happy at ANY chance of cooler weather. But yes, 85 is still WARM! :( I decided to start taking out some of my boots from their boxes. These Nine West booties have been with me since 2008. I remember I bought it with another pair of boots plus the bag I am wearing in this outfit! All in camel color! It was a good sale! My husband was in China on business at the time... so what's a lonely wife (who just started a new job) to do?? Break in the first salary and SHOP! :)

Happy weekend!

Vintage?

A lady asked me if this dress was vintage... no it is not... it is H&M :)

I am busy today packing for our weekend in San Antonio (we leave tonight) so I will post these outfit photos taken last July. I was on lazy mode back then and forgot to post them.

Happy weekend everyone! :)

Dress: H&M | Shoes: Payless | Purse: Zara | Watch: Guess | Necklace: Juicy Couture | Wood bangle: bought in Bohol, Philippines | Blue bead bracelet: gifted

Just a play date

Nothing special going on today... another comfy outfit for my little one's play date plus a few errands. This striped tee from Zara is made from organic cotton and is only $17!

I just realized that I have never really worn this necklace that my brother gave me several years ago when he was in Saudi (he was in the Navy). Or maybe I wore it once or twice but it has been so long. The pendant has my name on it in both english and arabic. My sisters and I each have our own. The symbols on there are actually pretty cool!

Perfect Saturdays

Blue sky... sunshine... 85 degrees... perfect day! I can finally feel the weather (slowly) cooling down. I wore this last saturday during a stroll around World Market to get some good cheap wine with hubby and little one. We love that store! I saw some nice bangles on clearance too but decided I can walk away from it! :)

I feel so feminine in this skirt from Zara. It's pink, has lace and ruffles. So I paired it with a feminine blouse (also worn here) and some sandals. The hubby told me I looked nice. What more can a woman ask for? :)

Be Cool

I never really thought of myself as being cool. I do think that this shirt is cool though plus it's from my favorite store! I ALWAYS tell myself to not go into that store! Especially when there is a big red SALE sign plastered on the window. But no, I go in anyway to just "look". Yeah right. I come out of the store with this shirt for $9.99 and this bag for $29.99! Sigh. Perhaps I should rename this blog "Confessions of a Shopaholic"! I love that book by the way! :)

However, I do want to point out that the bag is awesome! It used to be $79.99 and it is big enough (and not too large) to fit baby stuff when I am out and about with my little girl. The handle is a different color which makes it a little unique. Perfect!
