Day 6: RVA Fashion Week

I wore this outfit to day 5 during RVA Fashion Week. I was so excited when I found this Guess dress at TJ Maxx while I was on my lunch break. The mesh sides gives it a little something extra.It also matched my Jessica Simpson heels that I rarely every wear. To top off this look, I had to choose my Courtney Bib.

RVA Fahsion Week: Day 1

As promised, I've got a new post for your enjoyment! Last week was RVA Fashion Week. I attended the events last year & the previous year, but this year I decided to put my degree in PR to some use & volunteered on the PR team. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun.

This year, Day 1 kicked off in Carytown. A few stores & boutiques participated, hosting a fashion show at their store front. I only snapped a few pics during the shows mainly because I get so wrapped up in the show, I forget that I'm actually a blogger & should be documenting these. The above photos were taken at AlterNatives & the other pics below from GlassBoat & Ten Thousand Villages.

Thankfully, what I did manage to remember are outfit pictures! I decided this year, I wouldn't purchase anything new to wear during fashion week (mostly due to a lack of funds, but I digress). The morning of the Carytown shows, I knew I'd wanted to wear a peplum top, the issue was deciding which bottoms to pair with it. I chose these magenta pants that I typically wear to the office, but wanted a pop of color. I didn't know how far I'd have to walk either, so I chose my cute yet comfy Jessica Simpson wedges. Naturally, I had to wear my Courtney Bib. The outfit worked for this day & I wouldn't change a thing about it.

I also popped into Fab'rik after their show & purchased some goodies you'll see later! I hope you all have fab weekends (I'll be working :-/)

Wednesday Wish List: Jessica Simpson Booties

Hello readers-

A few weeks ago, I saw the most gorgeous pair of taupe booties. They were sitting on the shelf at TJ Maxx. They're Jessica Simpson, which if you've never owned a pair of JS shoes, they're all very comfortable! I've been lusting over a pair of taupe booties for quite some time now & I've yet to buy a pair. Unfortunately, the $60 price tag stopped me from biting the bullet.

Just last week, I went to a different TJ's hoping I'd find these booties. Sure enough this one had them too. Yet again, the $60 price stopped me. $60 is not a lot of money for a pair of shoes I'm sure I'd wear a lot; however, I don't need shoes. When I don't need anything, I try not to spend more than $30-$40 on a single item. I barely have anywhere to put the shoes I currently own, let alone another pair.

I think I'll have to buy these the next time I seen them simply because I canNOT stop thinking about them. I have already planned to pair them with certain items I currently own. Hopefully, I'll be able to find them.. & on sale!

Black, Red & Leopard

This past weekend, I had the privilege to go to Blacksburg to visit my brother. When I found out I was going, I knew I wanted to incorporate my favorites into this outfit- helloo, black, red & leopard. I also knew that's it's always chilly in the burg & threw a chambray shirt into my massive bag. Want to know a secret?! I only wore these wedges for these pics; too much walking is involved in Blacksburg to prance around in these beauties.

It was actually very nice to hangout with my family & just well, do nothing. I mean, we went out to eat & shopping, but when you're as busy as we are, it's nessecary sometimes to just do nothing. I did get a computer, too, so I'll be back to blogging!!!!!!

Well, I hope you all had a great weekend. What did you do?!

New: H&M & Peebles

Before you complain to me about my lack of outfit posts, I'd like to apologize. I've been extremely busy & actually have been doing waaaay more shopping than snapping photos. I want to share with you a few of the purchases I've been making lately.

This first photo is of some things I picked up at H&M today. I got this navy dress to wear to work. While I am free to wear what I choose, the policy is to wear lots of neutrals. Since I've grown tired of boring black, I've strayed towards navy as my go-to shade. I've also been wanting some statement jewelry. While I don't quite have the budget for any Kate Spade pieces, I think these will suffice... For now anyway. I got these for a mere $42, which is a steal. I can always count on H&M to keep a little money in my wallet.

This second photo is from a recent trip to Peebles with my mama. She always buys me something when I'm home (can't complain one bit). I've been wanting a pair of white skinny jeans for some time now & couldn't resist settling for this pair (who wants to spend tons on J Brands?!). They fit great & aren't too tight. They are made by A. Byer. Naturally, I need a blouse to pair with these pants. I saw this cute cobalt blue tank, bit it wasn't in my size, so I went to my new staple color- NAVY. The two pair nicely, but I will probably wear a colorful blouse with these pants; well outside of work that is. The lacy blouse is made by a company called Heart Soul (http://heartsoulusa.com). The rainbow colored dress is Calvin Klein. I got this when I was unaware of the neutral dress code at work. Nonetheless, it's a cute dress. I got it for $80, which is a great price considering I saw it today at Dillard's for $118.

I also bought some summer dresses, Jessica Simpson black wedges & lots of Nike Dri-Fit for the gym, but I'll spare you those pics. Hopefully, the dresses & wedges will appear in my next outfit posts.

What do you think about my recent shopping trips & purchases?! What would you pair with the white pants?!
