Dress:
Can I just say, I am freaking in love with this dress? In love I tell you. In freaking love. It’s like it was made to fit me. And I feel sassy when I wear it. {As if I’m not already.} So, I was on a Personal Shopping job {my new up and coming business, more on that later}, and I accidentally found this dress for me while I was shopping for her. There I was, in Forever 21, and on the sale rack, for $12 was the new love of my life!!! I think a few girls may have slipped on THE DROOL that followed behind me as I ran to the fitting room. And as I zipped her up, she (the dress) knew she had finally come home. I mean, seriously….it’s cute, it’s black, it’s sassy and sweet, all at the same time. Kinda like me. Except the black part. {At least I’m not on the outside anyway.} 😉
Denim Jacket:
I love pairing denim jackets with dressy outfits when I want to bring down the fancy factor. This jacket I’ve had for years, the tag says J&Co, and I’m assuming I bought it at either Ross or TJ {Maxx}. I can’t even begin to remember how much it was for, but I’m guessing in the teens. I roll like that.
Boots:
So, it was between these boots and my triple strapped mary jane heels, but I felt like the boots just seemed right. The heels brought a bit of um, how shall we say, sexy?…and that wasn’t so much the look I was going for. These babies, which you’ve seen plenty of before (I should mention I’ve had them 5 years!), are Anne Klein from TJ Maxx. I think, if I remember right, they were in the $30 range. I ‘think’ because I have a hard time spending more than $30 on a pair of shoes. Unless, of course, they are my baby Lou Lou’s. {Louboutins}
Purse:
While I may fool you into thinking this purse is MJ {Marc Jacobs}, you would be just that….fooled. Oh no, this piece of yummy goodness is from one of my most favorite purse websites ever, Fashion Junkee. They have the most amazing purses that are identical to the real thing, and for waaaaay less of a price. And, they’re great quality!!! I actually bought this exact purse in gray too, and then my two older sisters bought them too. Love. I get stopped all the time asking, #1 if it’s MJ and #2 where I got it. And they still have more. Go. Just go.
Necklaces:
Actually all just one necklace from F21 {Forever 21}, $11
Ring:
Another find that I am dying over. I’ve slowly been working up my collection of chunky rings, and this one is at the top of my favorites list. I also bought it in leopard because, well, sometimes I feel sweet like a zebra but sometimes I feel fiesty like a leopard. Okay, so maybe that didn’t make sense. But whatever, I love them. Oh, and did I mention I’m a mark rep, and you can actually buy these gems from my site?!? Amazing rings, mark.com, $9!
Bracelet:
Actually a thrifted chain necklace wrapped around a bunch.
So, wow, I guess talking about clothes and shopping sure brought me out of my writing slump! Funny how that works. Maybe I should take my sisters advice and try to stop being so deep and instead shallow it up a bit. Huh.

Eeeek! I wanted that dress so bad and they didn’t have any smalls left! Lucky gal!!
What an awesome dress!
Your Friday ensemble is Ba.Nan. As! I love every piece, especially the cocktail ring. Love the feathers too. I hope you are going to be out and about all weekend in that outfit. Think of all the slobs you’ll inspire, like myself. I am wearing a frumpy outfit right now, and I think I might change before I meet a friend for coffee. I will be walking around downtown and must look fabulous. I have an award for you over at my blog {Mama’s In Time Out}, it was Thursdays post. Have a wonderful weekend and take care.
