Latest Purchase- Quilted Crossbody

So this post may or may not be another one where I told you what I bought over the last weekend. If you're asking how I am always buying things and am somehow not broke, I'll let you in on a secret: I'm mostly broke, and I'm a discount fiend. In fact I think I will make my next post "where, when and how to shop for cheap stuff but look awesome." Perf.


I'm focusing on one particular item that I bought over the weekend and am SO glad I did. Quick background story- I go to Boston to hang out with my best friend and run this 5k. I find out my girlfriend that I went to school with who is super fabulous and works for Kiss 108 (radio station) is going to be working a Booze Cruise that Saturday night. So Friday night we go to Marshalls to find a white tank to run in and I find this AMAZING Calvin Klein cross body. It's $60 which I realize is a great deal but I decided to put it on hold. Saturday comes and we run and get back and get cleaned up and we're getting short on time when I realize I NEED this bag. So in a torrential downpour we rush to Marshalls, get the bag and I am grateful and fabulous the rest of the night!


Here is the bag, and the outfit I wore it with. And also my darling best friend.

 

Here are some similar ones with varying price ranges-

Nautical Tuesday

I got a new pair of boat shoes over the weekend and I felt like doing the nautical look. (If you follow me on Twitter and/or Instagram you probably have seen them and if you don’t follow me on twitter and/or instagram totally do it! @easypeasyglam) Sorry the pictures are dark, my guy was having some photography issues.

 

I got my shoes at Marshalls (on sale!). I got my blazer at H&M and my shirt at Forever 21, both about a year ago. I’m not sure where I got my linen pants but there are some on here on Alloy that are very similar (and on sale). Below is my polyvore version to which I added anchor earrings and a sand dollar necklace. I actually have a sand dollar necklace that I planned on wearing today but I was running late. Surprise surprise. That also explains why my hair is a mess. *NOTE: if you can tell my hair is tinted green, ignore it. Some crazy woman dumped green powder on me at the color run and I’m having issues with washing it out. 

I also had mint nails from the weekend that I showed off! Thanks to my lovely bestie and host for letting me use it, I'm on a mission to find a bottle of my own and when you do I'll be sure to let you know!

"OOTD"

Today is another outfit post. The issue is- my boyfriend takes awkward pictures so that they look disproportionate and I've tried to get him to fix his picture taking but it's a work in progress. ANYWAY ignoring the awkward proportions of my pictures, here is my outfit for the day (aka OOTD- just learned what that meant) I've worn both these items before but we woke up late and I am kinda obsessed with this shirt. It's from T.J. Maxx but you can find a similar one here (on sale) or here, love this leopard collared one.

The pencil skirt is from H&M and you can find similar ones here (on sale) and here. One thing my guy did right in his photography is catch my arm candy- I also featured both of these in previous posts but you can find them here and here and similar styles here, here, here and here. My sunglasses are from yesterday's post, bought at Urban Outfitters

My heels are from Marshall's (for $12 about a year ago) but here and here (on sale) you can find similar ones and here is a white version, and here is a wedge version I really like. 






Also- when I was looking for similar bracelets to my Michael Kors one, I found this bracelet... and ordered it.

Workday Stripes

Sorry that I have had and will continue to have sporadic posts until next week. I have been at my guy’s beach house and will be going to my best friend’s lake house in upstate New York for an extended weekend. While I was down at the beach I did some serious shopping though and I wanted to share my finds with you. Instead of just listing what I bought, I decided to put outfits together with the things I bought to show how I like to wear them!

Today I wore the striped ½ sleeve shirt that I bought over the weeknd from T.J. Maxx paired with my grey pencil skirt from H&M that I got last year. I decided on my red suede heels from Bakers and simple pearl stud earrings. I thought about wearing a necklace but I was in a rush anyway so I skipped it.

Here are some similar items:

Top- option 1, option 2

Skirt- option 1, option 2

Heels- ones I'm wearing, option 1, option 2

And here is a similar look put together on polyvore:
