It was such a beautiful day today! I wore a jacket in the morning, but went out several times during the day and didn't need it.
Sweater - H&M
Slacks - New York & Company
Tank - Old Navy
Shoes - What's What
I went to the mall tonight to look for some of the things
Kimberly recommended for me. I actually liked a lot of the items she suggested, and there were some others I wasn't sure about but thought I would check in person. So here's how it turned out:
Forever 21: Kimberly recommended this
3/4 sleeve faux leather jacket, which I actually really liked in the photo. But in person, the leather was really crinkly looking, not smooth. Also, they only had smalls in the store. I would still get a 3/4 sleeve jacket. She also recommended a knit jacket that was sold out, but found a
similar one. I'm not sure if I saw this exact one in the store, or another one (there were lots of similar belted knit jackets), but it seemed pretty bulky in person. I also found the
braided pearl necklace, which was not bad, but significantly shorter than I like to wear my necklaces. My husband was also giving me a hard time about it. So I again passed.
Old Navy: I found the
cowl neck sweater Kimberly suggested. I liked in the picture, but in person it is
huge. I tried on a small, which was still enormous, and it just did not look good. I saw the
patterned scarf, too - again, looked nice in the picture, but the quality just didn't seem good in person.
And finally, I did not see this exact pair of
Steve Madden shoes that Kimberly suggested, but I stopped in at
Payless and found two similar pairs - which were buy one, get one 1/2-off, so I bought both: these
ballet flats in purple, and
these in a blue/green/multicolor fabric.
So I'm excited about the shoes! And will keep my eye out for things that look more like what the other pieces seem like in the photos, rather than in person.
I wasn't too festive for Halloween. In fact, I even forgot to wear my special Halloween pumpkin socks! We spent the morning at an outdoor event (with wind and misting rain), and then went to visit friends and watch movies late into the night. It wasn't terribly cold out, so I just wore my chunky sweater.
