I’m guilty of the buying-things-sticking-them-into-my-closet-and-taking-forever-to-actually-wear-them syndrom. I mean, I do wear some of the things I buy right away, but usually, I shop and buy like 8 items and then I might wear 1 of those items right away & post it, while the rest sits in my closet and likely goes on sale before I get a chance to wear them. Case in point, the shoes here, I bought for full price (fail) they went on sale recently and are long gone now. Yep, still haven’t worn them. Why? Well, for one thing, I work out of my home office. This means, I wear nothing exciting (ie old stretched out tank tops) around the house most days. Classy, huh? Then there’s the issue with, if we don’t have time to take blog pictures wherever we’re going, I want to “save” the new goodies for when we do have time. It’s a serious issue 😛 So, I’m going to start sharing my shopping hauls with you all 🙂 This way, if there’s anything you like, you can still snatch them up before they’re long gone when I finally post an oufit in them and then you ask me where to get it and then I fail as a blogger 😉

Please excuse the terrible grammar and overwhelming amounts of run on sentences in this post. Though, if you’re a regular reader, this is nothing new!

Oh and yeah, I realized while making this that I bought way too many necklaces and sheer blouses the past two weeks.

Xox,

*#9 & #13 were purchased in-store, the images are random google search results photoshopped to look like what was purchased.

      OH! It might have been an Equipment blouse picture… the original blouse was black 🙂 I googled for images and just used the picture to photoshop into a navy/white polka dot blouse since I couldn’t find a picture of the one I bought. (disclaimer at the bottom of my post) lol.. Xox

    Okay, you and I both suffer from the same disease! 🙂 I buy stuff and then forget to wear it ALL THE TIME. And it’ll be stuff I’ve lusted after for months, and then I get it, and it sits for just as long! Oy. 🙂

    Great post- love that Express colorblock skirt. Has been on my wishlist for a while now.

    I do this a lot. I buy so much stuff at once that I sometimes forget what I bought and thus forget to actually wear it. It’s fun to rediscover those pieces later, though!

    You have very nice taste girly. I LOVE all the items you picked. I know working from home can be a gift and a curse (especially to a Fashionista). Can’t wait to see these items in your future posts.

    I tagged you in my latest blog post. Hopefully you have time to play along. Check out my blog for details.

    […] adore this button-up shirt (mentioned here) that I grabbed at Urban Outfitters last week. I wore it with a dainty little Forever 21 feather […]
