DENIM LUXE

You may not know this, but after the age of 19 I started hating jeans. Mostly because around 19, I discovered that once you regularly shaved your legs, dresses were amazing to wear. Oh, the freedom! And also because grown-up jeans that fit grown-up me cost grown-up money. And I would rather wear a plethora of $15 dresses than search the far corners of the world for $85 jeans.

But, luckily for kind-of-grown-up me, these were only $19 from Old Navy and they feel awesome, thanks to 1% spandex. I've never been a fan of the Laguna Beach casual feel of light wash denim or denim with *gasp* holes.  I mean, I am from New York, and we're nothing if not fancy. So, naturally, I fancied it up with faux fur, jewels and bright ass orange lipstick. A little casual luxe on a crisp fall day, dahhhhlliing.

What She Bought

This morning as I was throwing together a 5-minute outfit, I realized that there was nothing fresh in my closet. Not fresh as in just washed, but as in recently purchased with tags still attached and the scent of the store still lingering.
Not that I go on large movie-esque shopping sprees, but I remember when my mother would take me seasonal shopping and I'd come home with bags filled of goodies.
Now, I support myself and I've been doing my hardest to save money, and my closet is showing the outcome.

I decided to go through all the little one here, one there purchases I've made to make myself feel better.  Like I haven't abandoned the thrill of the right purchase. I still can shop, but I guess I'm just prioritizing. Rent+Bills > New Wedged Boots
P.S. What if I wore all of these items together. Imagine that? Wouldn't I look like a hobo. Hilarious.  
P.S.S. Everything here is under 10$. Run and tell that homeboy.
