Nerdy Monday - OOTD

'Ello loves!

This weekend I made a spectacular purchase. I got a pair of...hipster/nerd glasses! 

I realize that these accessories might not be "in" anymore but I'm still in love with them and have rocked them every day since I got them (I've had them since Friday!). 

Hipster/nerd glasses I believe are a "love them or hate them" fashion piece. I've had numerous compliments as well as a generous amount of backlash for wearing them. Some people think that since they aren't prescription, the glasses are a waste of money and make you look silly. Others have asked where I purchased them (Claire's or their off-branch, Icing, carries them and this is where I purchased mine for $12 USD) and say that they complete any outfit.

I have noticed myself wandering into the more "hipster" fashion style so therefore these were an essential purchase. The glasses are a sort of cherry on top, and add a finished look to an outfit. 

I wore mine to class today and since it was a bit chilly outside, I paired them with black knit jeggings from American Eagle, a plaid shirt (which I had from an ex-boyfriend) which was very loose fitting, a pair of short brown uggs, and a scarf from Target. 

Do you have any favorite accessories?! Leave a comment and have a fabulous day! 

Be A Budget Shopper!

Hello loves!

Obviously if you read the title of this handy dandy blog post you'll know I'm going to be talking about budget shopping!

Now budget shopping can be finding great deals, shopping sales racks, going thrifting, or even plundering yard sales.

Budget shopping is VERY important to me since I am a starving college student with a limited income (I have a part time job AND go to school). I've learned from a very young age never to pay full price for an item.

I was recently browsing on Pinterest and came across these adorable jeans from Anthropologie and was all set on buying them until I found out they were $178.00 USD.

WHAT?! Um...no. Simply stated I did not order them. I knew I could find them somewhere else.

So. The other day I was at target picking up some new liquid foundation and I always make time to meander through the clothing section.

I love shopping at Target because you can find every day essentials (i.e. sweaters, plain shirts, layering tanks, t-shirts) and they're all pretty affordable.

Anyways. I was just strolling and I found a pretty much identical pair of polka dot jeans for $23.00 USD. Needless to say, I got them.

Anthropologie Jeans $178 USD

Target Jeans $23 USD

The only real difference between the jeans is that the jeans from Target have white dots on a grey background and the Anthropologie jeans have the dots on a navy/blue background.

I don't really care what background the dots are on. I knew that I HAD to get them so I did.

The luckiest finds are the ones you happen upon so check budget stores often.

Coral & Leopard = LOVE

Hello lovelies!
I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, butttt, I have exciting blog posts coming up in the future!

I cleaned out my closet and spent TWO hours at Forever 21 which consistently fuels my addiction to fashion.

Back to the news, I got these new coral high waisted shorts which I ABSOLUTELY adore.

I paired these shorts with a black and grey leopard top, which I also got from Forever 21. 

Now some of you in the United States are probably asking why I bought these at the beginning of winter. In Florida it never really gets THAT cold and I think the shorts will look adorable with black tights or leggings underneath and black wedges...it'll be cute. I know.

I also got this necklace which is adorable. I never really wear silver but the only other one they had was black so I picked up this one. I still think it's a cute statement necklace which will match a lot of my outfits. 

Do you have anything you're definitely transferring from summer over to fall? Leave a response! 

Have a fabulous day!

Outfit of the Day

Outfit Of The Day (ootd..for future reference) post and some obvious rambling. Let's goo!

It was a wee-bit cold outside this morning, more like low 70's but hey in Florida that's enough for a long(ish) sleeved shirt with appropriate layers. 

     Outfit:
      -  Plaid Top: Target
      - Grey T-shirt: Forever 21
      - Shorts: Hollister
      - Purse: Steve Madden 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this purse. I saw it at DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) and of course HAD to get it.  You can add it to any outfit and it's one of those pieces that blatantly states that YOU ARE stylish.  

As you can see, its very... fringey? I also love the gold accents on the handles. This is, what I call, a double handle bag. There's probably some term for it but whatever. I usually use the two main handles, not the cross body one but the fact it can become a cross body makes it so convenient.
