Summer Fashion.
I am having a tough time shopping.
Crazy, I know. Normally I am quite good with shopping.
See, my problem is that I am in a depressed mood with fashion right now. I am transitioning from loving lots of trends, and trying to focus more on developing my personal style. I mean, I'm in my 30s now... It's time to stop liking everything, and start focusing on what works for my body type as well as what I love.
Every season, I set a budget for myself. I am not supposed to spend beyond this budget, and it's supposed to cover everything... From accessories, to clothes, to shoes. Here is what I've found so far:
Tory Burch Pineapple Tunic
Christian Louboutin Metallic Flats
Chloe Black Peep-Toe Flats
Chloe Trapeze Tank Dress (Yes, I still love this.)
Foley + Corinna City Clutch In Black
Marc By Marc Jacobs Dot Dobby Blouse
I still need a few more tops or dresses... And I haven't found anything I like yet. But there's a few more weeks left before I plan on buying anything anyway.

I have my outfit for Monday planned (of course!) and I was planning to wear a black shirt that looks SO much like the Marc by Marc Jacobs blouse!!
It's the Express version with the same ruffled front and some satiny pleats on the sides. I just spent half my federal refund at Express (including two pairs of satin shorts, of all things, for Vegas).
Yeah....I like that shirt a lot. The Louboutins, too. ;-)
I hear yah on Express. When I was your age, I used to spend significant portions of paychecks there too. It is such cool stuff.
I remember when I was a Freshman in university, and I needed something to wear for my sorority's picture day... My mum picked out a red cahmere-wool blend sweater set from there for me to wear.
And when I worked as a bridal planner for the Evil Empire, the uniform was often "a skirt and sweater set". I usually bought my sweater sets from Express too.
Ahh! The memories...
If you're ever in the 'hood, stop in and let me know what you think :)
XOXO
