Depleting My Wallet

On my recent shopping trips both in-store and online, I can definitely see that the Spring season is in the air. Also, I've seen more options of cute colorful tops, summery dresses, open-toed shoes and bold accessories. Then there are two trends that I've noticed, which are ruffles and stripes. The ruffles are romantic and the stripes are very nautical. Although, my recent purchases do not reflect these trends, I have found items with these details on my prior trips.

These are my recent finds...

~Tops~

Forever 21 - Floral Sets Woven Top: I love the embroidery along the neckline and hem (+). The material of the top is rayon, so it's easy to wrinkle (-).

Forever 21 - Sweethearts Knit Tee: This top reminds me of the time I went to China/HK, and the graphic is so adorable (+). However, it does run small (-). F21 - Black Cabled 3/4 Cardigan: I'm always drawn to any cardigan or top that has 3/4 sleeves, and this cardigan goes perfectly with a dress or tunic (+). Also, I already had a similar cardigan like this from F21 in Navy (++). Because this cardigan is cabled it can be easy to snag, it happen to my navy one on the sleeve (-). I'm hoping my mom will be able to repair it.

~Dresses~

F21 - Garden Spaghetti Strap Dress: I love the lace along the neckline and the button details (+). This dress is very short, so I'll probably end up wearing it with jeans underneath (-). F21 - Black Afternoon Woven Dress: I can dress this up or down, so it'll be very versatile (+).

~Shoes ~

Nordstrom - BP. Daniella Pump: I needed a black pump that would go with my dresses and jeans, these were it (+).
Nordstrom - Enzo Angiolini Merryann Pump: Just look at them. What's not to love about these pumps? They are gorgeous! (++)
Nordstrom - Jessica Simpson Black Crepe Wedge Sandal: I've worn these a ton of time already, and they are super comfortable (+).

~Accessories~

Banana Republic - T Moro Leather Round-Buckle Belt: I'm trying to accessorize my outfits more, and I thought this belt could add some flair to them (+).

bye for now...
