My [Shopping] Week in Over-Processed Photos

When I was a kid, my parents used to tell me that money burned a hole in my pocket. Not much has changed. I got some cash for Christmas, and after a pre-holiday shopping fast, I was ready to rumble. For this installment of MWOPP, I thought I’d stick with a theme and show you some of my fabulous finds.

Scored these babies from J. Crew for less than half the original price! The gold heel is just too damn adorable.

Another sale find, this one from Ann Taylor. They’re classy and fun at the same time, and look pretty friggin cute with the new shoes too.

I finally found some flattering faux leather leggings for a reasonable price at Arden B. I’m thinking the leggings with this tunic from Macy’s will make for a nice combo for a casual dinner party I’m going to next weekend.

My winter wish list included a bold pencil skirt, and I’m thinking this bright green number with lace overlay is pretty bold. Mission complete.

And finally, these awesome pumps from Sole Society are somewhere on a UPS truck on their way to me! I’m starting an internship next week, so that’s my excuse for buying heels.

Use Your Imagination…

aztec4Remember that time I announced my love for geometric Aztec/Southwestern prints? I saw this sweater at Urban shortly after and it became my new favorite. Lucky for me, Santa checks my Pinterest boards and he left it under the tree for me. Santa’s awesome like that.

I actually wore this outfit on vacation the day we visited Asheville, NC, and my parents and sister drove over to meet us for the day. We were so busy gallery hopping, eating, and checking out the winners of the national gingerbread competition, that I forgot to take photos before the sun went down! But I loved the outfit so much I recreated it back home in Indy for some pictures. Just pretend the snow’s not there and imagine some hippies in the background.
