This is from my wedding. It's me and my sweet mom with my best friend Brittney. She came all the way up to Indiana with her little baby and husband right after Christmas to see me get married. Her being there means more to me than words can express. I love these two so much!!!
Ok back to the blog, now that you have a face to my sweet mom, we went shopping today!! I love fashion, it makes my world go round. But-I don't have money for all designer duds. Well, I could but I'm sure a bill wouldn't get paid eventually. So instead of ruining my credit and getting my water or electricity shut off, I choose to find great deals on fashionable items.
I'm trying to set up a budget with my husband and I have been reading a couple blogs I've found on Pinterest about budget tips. I'm all for planning out bills and divvying out a certain amount of money a month on times but when they said to start going to Goodwill and sewing your own clothes!!!! That was IT!!! (I almost started cussing at the computer) I love a great vintage find but I have to dress super put-together at work and look very fashion-forward and I think rockin my cute, floral vintage dress just ain't gonna work there. Save it for the weekend!
So, for work I have to play it safe, fashion-forward, but more put together. So when my mom mentioned she had an additional 30% off of anything at Kohl's and wanted to know if I wanted to go I was like, "heck yeah! I love shopping and saving a little extra dough always helps!" I didn't really say that but I'm sure that went on in my brain.
Here is what I'm loving and really sticking with when it comes to fashionable, but professional clothing...that won't make you cry when you look at the price tag. All these items are from Kohl's.
I am loving the billowy, sheer blouse with a nice cigarette leg pant. LOVING this style!!! So that's kinda what's going on right now.
This is a high-low chiffon top by Candie's original price was $42, I got it for $28
I just got this pair of pants in navy blue. They are similar to the ox blood pants I wrote about from Target. I just love them so much that when I saw some more colors in this style I went for it! Like I said the ones I got were navy blue. These were originally $40, I got them for $28.
The next item I'm going to show, well I can't. I can't find it on the Kohl's website but I have wanted this Max Azria leather jacket for a loooong time but it is a little pricey. Good news is, it's on sale!! bad news is, it's still $300!! I have also searched for similar ones but nothing is close but this cute little jacket from Kohl's is surprisingly close and super cheap! Here's my inspiration:
The one I got from Kohl's was originally $60, I got it for $42. I don't care if it's not Max Azria, or leather. It's cute and I could buy tons more because I have extra money to spare!! I'll post a picture of me in it so y'all can check out the cuteness of this great jacket soon!
Next up were some quality leggings. These were from the Lauren Conrad collection I'm not going to post them because they are simple black leggings. What is different from these is that they have a nicer, thicker material so they don't have that see-through situation going on. They were originally $20 but I got them for $10.
Another piece from the Lauren Conrad collection were these 2 adorable shirts!!!
Both kinda similar but still completely different! Both were originally $44, got them for $27.
Next were these leggings from the juniors department. I am loving little touches of faux leather, so when I saw these I had to get them!
These are by the juniors brand Stooshy and they have faux leather trim on the legs like a tuxedo pant. Love them!! These were originally $36 and I got these babies for $20!
Here's a couple other things I am loving!!!
Once again, another chiffon blouse. This one is my Lauren Conrad as well. It's on sale for $27 too!
I really loved this purse as well. I am loving cross-body bags right now and this one comes in black and gold. I am loving the gold!! It's originally $79 but it's on sale right now for $47! I might have to go back and get the top and they purse!
All this is at Kohl's. my mom has a Kohl's card so she got an additional 30% off all the sale prices too. That's why I love Kohl's. you get tons of fashion-forward pieces for a really reasonable price and they are always on sale on top of that!! I think everything I have ever gotten from there was cheaper than I thought it was!! Kohl's always has good quality clothing too. I hate buying items that fall apart after washing them!! My clothes from here actually hold up really well. I will say I like to see the clothing items in person because sometimes they don't translate online. But go check them out!!
