GLOOMY DAY & TJ MAXX FINDS!

I felt the change, it's always the end of August and early September that I feel like Fall is creeping it's way in. It's in your coffee, your clothing stores and all over pinterest...we must face the inevitable, FALL IS COMING! The weather today was quite fitting, gloomy and a tad cooler, like a day at the beach in Spring. During my typical Coffee run I made a stop at TJ Maxx and was quite pleased with their BASIC BITCH selection :0 

See for yourself!

This DKNY wrap top was cozy and I loved the berry/wine color! It was a bit pricey for what it was so I passed it along its way. And don't mind my stupid look on my face, should have cropped it out LOL

This sexy top by Lily White is perfect to throw on under a sweater or Leather Jacket and under 9 bucks SCORE!

This jacket was amazing and under 20 bucks! The brand is called BCNU 

I really wanted a marled grey Sweater, this one by Poof was cute, but it kept rolling open and was itchy on the skin pass! 

This top from Kim & Cami was actually pretty cute and I wanted it, but passed it up...maybe next time. 

Hope this got you inspired to go shopping..hehe :) What do you think? Are you in on the nuetral/basics trend for fall? 

Fashion Faultiness

Let me explain...for the past few months I have been going through a bit of a style rut. My sister says I look like a chola and 90's...really? I don't think so.Just because I like red lipstick and leopard print...haha anyway.  I think my schedule is making me not care how I look because I go to class in the morning and and work till 12:30 at night. I just get up and stare at the closet and wonder what the hell am I going to wear today? It's always the same thing: striped shirt, jeans flats. Or, workout pants, walking shoes and a tank. And then at night it's all black for work. The one day that I actually care about what I wear is when I go to work at Road Less Traveled because it's an inspiring environment and I can express myself.

So, I have come up with a plan to get motivated to show off my wardrobe: 

Don't wear workout clothes unless you're working out!

Dress up for date night or girls night out.

Make a point to take more photos of outfits I like and either post them on blog or in a notebook.

Donate clothes I no longer wear (less to go through when getting dressed.)

Coordinate my outfits with my presentations for school.

Organize my closet by type of clothing, not color. 

So since I have become more aware of my fashion faultiness I made a point to get extra dressed up for my latest presentation for Interior Design Studio. Yes I wore all black and I usually don't like to do that, but I did get complimented on my outfit and my presentation ;) That's always a great thing to hear and will keep me motivated to dress up a bit more or be more creative in my clothing choices.
