feeling lucky

 

jacket - Lucky Brand (I can't believe I found it) | jeans - Zara | shirt - J.Crew (old) | shoes - Dolce Vita | purse - Rebecca Minkoff | sunglasses - Ray Ban

I have not taken outfit pictures in what seems like forever so I was so glad to find these photos in a random folder on my desktop.  So I am lucky to have something to post and I was also lucky to find this jacket because I hunted it down for about a week.  You know when you see someone wearing something amazing and you just need to find it (while praying that it dose not cost a limb... usually everything I want dose).  I saw a coworker wearing this jacket and basically chased her down screaming "where did you get that".  It is such a great piece for laying and the quilted detail just kills it! She told me that she purchased it at Lucky Brand and it was the last one.  I checked the website... could not find it.  Went to the Lucky Brand in my mall... could not find it.  Called the two other Lucky Brand stores within driving distance... obviously they did not have it either (this is why all stores need to have their inventory in sync).  So for a couple of days I sulked about never finding this jacket I even checked eBay... how desperate.  

Finally about 2 weeks later I was shopping (per usual), at Lucky Brand and I found it... the last one in my size (well a size bigger, but who cares)  I was ecstatic! - Not to mention (well I am mentioning) it was on sale and extra 50% off... the wait was worth it.

Well thats the end of my sad shopaholic story but I am happy to say that I found it in almost all sizes here!

repeat offender

 

shirt - Forever 21 | romper - Express Factory | shoes - Halogen (a Nordstrom brand) | handbag - Rebecca Minkoff (mine is in the color seashell) | sunglasses - Rayban | necklace - Gorjana via Rocks Box 

I am being a repeat offender in this romper but who honestly has enough money to blog completly new pieces in each post, and I love this romper so I am going to wear it as many times as I please.  (see last post here) 

A simple black romper is a staple - it can be dressed up or down and can also be worn multiple times in a week without anyone noticing because it is that understated.  I wore this romper before with a olive vest over it and have worn it multiple times (not pictured here on the blog) with a denim jacket, under a light sweater, and topped with a white chiffon vest.  The versatility of this romper is 100% and I should have probably purchased two because by the end of the summer it will probably be faded or worn out from wearing it so much. 

Im not normally into a harsh red plaid print but this shirt was something different and sometimes we all need something different.  I am pretty tall so it will be much longer on someone with a more petite frame  but I loved that tying the front gave it a perfectly undone vibe!  I also love it over jeans and will be great with a long cardigan and leggings when the weather cools down.  My number one rule when buying something is "can I wear this at least two ways",  this shirt made the cut and although it probably will not get much use its fun! 

My apartment search has been equally as miserable as the last post and I am on the verge of giving up and living in my car... I just have to figure out where to fit all my clothes (and my shoes).
