modern budget. two.

I headed back to Forever 21 for these two jean gems.  I mean, a girl can never have too many chambray shirts in her closet, right?  I have been wearing this one pretty much every day.  I've sported it as an actual shirt and also unbottoned over a dress.  Speaking of dresses, how adorable is this denim one?  Worn with my fave booties, it's the perfect transitional piece for Spring.  And the prices, well, they are pretty amazing: shirt ($29.80), dress ($29.80), booties ($29.99).

Oh you know, just a few items that I'm currently coveting.  I've had my eye on that vase for awhile now and that suit...well, I definitely think that needs to make an appearance this spring/summer.  Right?  And I may be just slighty obsessed with that little arrow bracelet.  So delicate and simple.  Eeeekkk, time for me to get off the internet.  There are too many amazing items to lust over.

modern budget. one.

First off, I wanted to say a huge thanks for the comments, tweets, and emails regarding my Friday post.  It truly means so very much to me and G to have support from all of you!  Muah!  

And now, I wanted to share a new little series of posts that I will be introducing to the blog, modern budget.  All of my friends are pretty much in shock when I show up to a party and when asked what I'm wearing, a common answer is Forever 21 or H&M or a second hand store find.  I am a bargain shopper at heart.  I grew up thrift shopping with my mom and to this day, I always get a thrill when I find the perfect little dress or top buried amongst racks of clothing.  So, follow me as I head into the dressing room of some of my favorite budget friendly stores, to find outfits that I love and are easy on the wallet.  Here's my first post in this new series, at Forever 21.  It's been chilly here in the city (shhhh, don't tell anyone but I don't really mind the cold).  But for all of my friends who are looking forward to warmer days, I thought I'd try on a Spring look.  A fun skirt ($22.80), delicate top ($27.80), and my fave booties ($29.99).  Easy to throw on as you head out the door, and defintely won't break the bank.

casual dressing.

You know those days where you are running late and have no time to put together an outfit?  You want to look pulled together and comfortable all at once?  Well, on those days, this is just the outfit I would reach for.  A comfy and stylish maxi dress topped with a faux leather jacket.  Easy peasy when you are trying to fly out the door.

target sale.

What what what...the Target and Neiman Marcus collection is 50% off?  Wow!  These three items have been calling my name since day 1, and now I think I just have to have them, right?  Those glasses would be the perfect little addition to a new year's bash!
