Navy Stripes and Pink Blazer

Dress: Old Navy ($10), Blazer: Thrifted ($5) via Value Village and Shoes: ALDO - $20 (old), watch: Fossil

I recently picked up this beautiful summer dress at Old Navy (I meant picked it up online for such a steal)! a few weeks ago! Its navy and white stripes but looks black on screen. Paired it with my pink blazer for a punch of color in the outfit!

Hope y'all had a great weekend! :)

Shopping: Behind the Scenes

A few weeks back, I was in H&M and went window shopping. Little that I know, I would end up trying a few items on. While I was on there, I thought of taking pictures and show you what I tried and what I actually bought. If you are like me, I ususally try alot of things but try to only buy the ones I think are worth the money or I can see myself wearing the item over and over again.

I tried a bright orange cardigan, 2 dark blue capes, a lace top, a blazer and a tunic. Enjoy!

I liked the color but not the fit - didn't get it even though it was $14 only.

Navy blue cape - loved it , is so comfortable.

cropped navy blue lace top -

long tunic - looked better in hangers lol

another cape - quality wasn't amazing on this one.

I tried on 7 things, left the store with 3. I like to take pictures of myself with each item on (totally gonna do it in future too), taking a picture and seeing yourself wearing the product helped me decide what to purchase and what not to. Can't believe , I didnt think of doing this before.

What strategy do you use when going shopping to make sure you don't overbuy?

Yellow Gold It Is.....

We arrived at the mall first thing on saturday (before the mall was even open - we were eager to start) and we had 4 planned visits to different stores. I wore the bright yellow top with some jeans - nice, comfortable shopping outfit.

Looking at rings - and waiting for the stores to open

I have NEVER been in a mall - where shops are closed. It felt weird being so early, but we got LOTS accomplished shopping all DAY.

3 top contenders today - one thing is decided I am going with yellow gold, we were thinking of getting a ring (not too fancy) for now and then upgrade later! But then I kinda feel like engagement ring is his gift to me, I shouldn't be thinking about upgrading his gifts.

What did you guys do? Did you buy fancy ring at first and kept the same ring or did you buy first and upgraded later?

Would love for you to help me out! I value your suggestions :)

My go-to shopping outfit

Coral shirt: Thrifted, Jeans: Thrifted, Heels: ALDO, Necklace: Thrifted

(WHOA! - Thrifted outfit or what?! - pure awesomness)

One of those days when you dont feel like coming out of your PJ's but R. asked me to go on a mini-shopping trip, I decided to dress decent. And this is what we have. simple outfit.

On our way to shopping, we decided to stop by local bakery and ordered this cream puff...ceam puffs are my fav. I started feeding the driver and we get cream all over his nose! haha

Outfit Analysis:

What worked: Coral with blue is nice

What didn't: I could have done better - I have so many necklaces and scarves...I could have come up with a decent outfit but my brain has been fried lately.
