Confessions from a Firecrackers Dressing Room

Seeing how often I go shopping I might as well share the awkward and fun experience with you - and why a piece of clothing should go home with me at the end of the night . . . . so may I introduce to you dear readers Confessions from a Dressing Room.

Given all the drama between Tavi Gevinson, the original fashion blogger so jelly of her work,  and Seventeen (not that my work is anyway near theirs), I am going to put it out there  that this new series was inspired by one of my favorite petite bloggers -  Extra Petite.

Also I've been obsessing over this song

BCBG  . . . .
 
    I love that store. Everything is fun, classic and timeless and most importantly modest. Most of the time I walk out with a purchase because everything is so beautiful.

This is a gorgeous hi-lo skirt I drooled over when I saw it online. The perfect neutral tank day dress! BCBG was having a super sale of an extra 20% off all their sale merchandise so I thought I would give it a try! OOOoo I was not expecting this when I tried it on ^


Fit: I like clingy because who likes to get lost in a garment? But seeing the indentation of my belly button? Too much! I picked up an XXS and an XS and they differed very little in circled ares - even the length?!

Price: One of the methods I use when shopping - I pick things up I like, I try them on and if doesn't fit or werk I don't even bother with the price tag. Buuut if something werks with my figure/shape and I LOVE it, a and I can't stop thinking about - yes I get that way with clothes - I check out the price and then debate on getting it lol. 


Basically I don't know how much this dress cost lol. 

Speaking of love, I loooove love this skirt. 

Fit: I think I picked up a small. I could've gone bigger or smaller because its like wearing a bright green (chartreuse) spanx - it hugs and snugs you in :-). I have a weakness for pencil skirts. Whoever invented them was a genius - figuring how to make a woman's waist look small and curves look, well curvier ;-) just amazing! Thank you!

Price: This was originally $148. It was 60% off and was an additional 20% off - making it $77 and some change. A worthwhile splurge in my opinion. Extra bonus - I lugged myself to Ross Park Mall so technically I saved on shipping too lol! 

Other factors: I love the length of this skirt! Being a pencil skirt it sits high my waistline I can tug it down to be more modest (as pictured) or hike it up a little for nights out ;-)

  

I went to Florida (post coming soon) packed this and one other skirt and wore it a million different ways - another post I should do lol. 

Mini Closet Score

 I am sure you remember a little contest I entered a while back. I won two gift cards - one to Free People and one to Anthropologie. After July 1st w/ my birthday coupon (July 23 cause I know you are wondering ;-) and my gift card in hand I hurried to make the current summer sale they were running. I got two pieces. The printed sheer cardigan which is so much prettier in real life and the bright blue cerulean netted dress/top. I think I'll settle on calling it a chic beach cover up. I haven't figured it out yet but as soon as I do I will sharing it with you. I also picked up this really cute polka dot top and my beloved chartreuse BCBG skirt - which can be paired with all three tops pictured!

Welcome to My Closet Score!

I've been soo obsessed with bright colored nails that if for one day they are bare I get really self conscious and try to hide them.  As you can see my newest additions are exactly that - Bold, Bright, Summery COLORS!!

Love me some colors. Maybe its the crazy ginger in me but I have to be splashed with color or else I feel depressed (as if my red hair wasn't enough color)

Do you like my new colors? What colors are you feening this season?

         Can you use feening that way?

Mod Square, Are We There Yet, Arizona, Quick Canary, Turquoise & Caicois, Hydrangea Kiss, Swimsuit...Nailed It

With these three colors  . . . . 

I am officially equipped to do a little something I call 

 Sunset Ombre

I don't know why they chip so fast I literally did them last night at 12 am, but aren' t they pretty

So you remember that Bakery Square Contest right? So yesterday after an orientation at my new gym Urban Active (located in Bakery Square as well) I put that $50 gift card to Free People to good use.

I picket up a comfy pretty lacey coral shirt for $29.95 - available in grey and white but obviously I gravitated to the one color they do have. It has a wide neckline and is versatile in a way that can be worn in summer or winter and of course two statement necklaces $9.95 each a total of $51.25 so baaasicly on budget :-)

Wondering about the Anthorpologie one? Well I recently got a 15% off coupon for my birthday that can only be used in July, so I am waiting till to get maximum usage ;-)

Score!

Feathers might fall off but that would probably be a quick fix

Whoops I totally forgot to show the clothes I was FORCED to buy while I was in Japan .. . . .

I don't know the names of any of the places I purchased these :-(
