Sunday Studying

My best friend was out of town and I had plenty of laundry, errands and studying to do! This outfit was super comfortable and perfect for accomplishing all of my normal Sunday goals. 

This long sleeve black top is loose and just the right length to either tuck in something high wasted or let hang naturally. Plus, I was just as comfortable as if I had stayed in my pajamas all day... (which I wish I could have done! Sometimes I hate adulting) 

Adulting: performing adult related tasks that are usually mundane, tedious and not very fun... LOL

Brilliant Question!

The other day I was posed with the question "How do you afford your clothes?" At first I thought to myself that she was trying to insinuate that I don't make enough money to pay for my bills and my clothes (I do, in case you were wondering) but then it occurred to me that her question was brilliant! I kindly explained that I shop smart but I wanted to go in depth on my methods in a blog post because I figured she probably wasn't the only one who had that same question.

If you are an avid follower of this blog then you already realize that I shop at stores like Forever 21, H&M, The Limited, etc. The trick to shopping at these places is to search for the articles of clothing that are made with quality material and that don't look cheap. Yes there are tons to choose from in all of these stores but the key is to stay patient and to check their stock frequently! 

Occasionally I will splurge on an item (like my Louboutins) but usually I buy reasonably priced pieces of clothing that way I can have a large variety to choose from. 

Holiday sales are a great way to find expensive items for really cheap. I purchased a dress from Banana Republic for $15 that was originally $115 during their Labor Day sale. I also bought a pair of knee high boots and a pair of Steve Madden look alike wrap heels each for $20. Deals like that can't be beat.  

Keep asking questions like this as it gives me inspiration to share my shopping tricks!!

They don't call it the city of lights for nothing! I would be breaking all of the Vegas rules if I told you guys everything that happened on our trip but I will spill a few of the dirty details... (just kidding nothing we did was dirty)

We flew Frontier... I am usually a Delta snob but how could we pass up a $200 flight? We couldn't! I love wearing comfortable/warm/fashionable clothing on planes and at the airport and the outfit pictured on the left gave me all of those things. 

As soon as we got to Vegas we changed our clothes and headed to our first night on the town at Tao Nightclub.

The other nights we partied hard at Hakkisan and Omnia! Lots of champagne and dancing (great combination, I highly recommend mixing the two if you're ever in Vegas LOL) and I clearly had a "neutrals" theme when I was packing and didn't realize it until looking back at all of the pictures. We have some scandalous Thunder from Down Under pictures that will never grace anyone elses eyes but our own so I figured I'd at least share the outfit I wore ( the grey dress in the bottom left picture). It was such a fun trip filled with lots of laughs, great hotel rooms, too much champagne and my best friend!

    I am a college student in engineering and I love it, but my real passion is fashion. I am obsessed with all things neutral, all black clothing, expensive hand bags, and shoes with red bottoms.
