Long blazer by posh love, tank by Umgee-both from Moxie
Pants NY & Co

Too much cute?

having the exact opposite problem with my current closet.  I have so much awesome stuff it's hard to pick out one outfit!  Here's some recent ones!

Plaid shirt is by Hem and Thread, tank from an outlet store somewhere, jeans are just black gray whiskered skinnies.  Shirt/jeans from Moxie. If you haven't discovered this gem yet, I highly encourage a visit to the website!

Jacket by Esley, shirt by Sugarlips, pants (that are too large) from Bass outlet.  Shirt and jacket came from one of my other favorite companies, Relish.  Really great high quality stuff, I also highly encourage you to check out this site!  Kinda more boho so if that's not your thing, it might not be for you.

From my recent trip!  Dress by Leota from Moxie.  Necklace from Relish.

One more for fun.  Awesome coat from ModCloth mystery box a couple of years ago?

Saturday OOTD

Didn't do much today...went and tanned to prepare for our upcoming trip.  Was a messy hair, don't care kind of day along with no makeup.

Lumiere tank from Relish, navy tank under from Target.  Shorts from GT.  Necklace also from Relish

SCORE!

Ah shopping and the hunt for the deal.  I went to Scheel's today to return a too small sports bra and decided to poke around some more while I was there.  I had seen some fleece lined leggings on sale the last time I was there and you can't beat $5 a pair.  Yeah they are springy colors but we all need a little cheering up in winter!  While I was back there I saw the dress rack and lo and behold there was a ReneeC dress that had been marked all the way down to 9.99!  In my basket that went!  And it had a belt with it!  So I had looked at the clearance shoes the last time I was there but it was way more crowded that day.  Decided to go have another look and found a section of boots I had totally missed the last time!  Poked through that a bit and found a pair of 1/2 price Frye boots...in size 7.  What are the chances of that?!?  So I bought myself an expensive pair of high quality boots.  They will last forever and are pretty much flat as well.  They will probably become my go to weekend boot.  :). Went grocery shopping (yuck) and got home.  Checked my email and I had a Relish shipping notice!  Pretty sure my day couldn't get any better!

Evereve Trendsend necklace (gold chain with little silver boxy beads), Kika Paprika dress from GT received in a trade, Heart and Hips striped cocoon cardi from my very first Moxie Mystery box

I hate colds.

Haven't posted in forever again.  Largely because I hate how obnoxious it is to post pictures.  I've gotten loads of cute stuff and have two new favorite companies to buy from.  One is Relish.  www.relishclothing.com. This is a mystery box that is a one woman show!  I have been hooked on this box since it started and I'm proud to be one of the original Relish girls.  The stuff from Relish is kind of along the lines of GT but about a billion times better in terms of quality. The surprise items in the totes seemed to be going downhill and I just hadn't been impressed with much of the GT stuff, especially for the money.  My most recent Relish large box had a coat, a big heavy cardigan, a denim shirt, a work blouse, a dress, a sweater vest tunic that is super on trend for fall but I haven't quite figured out yet, a beautiful scarf, and leg warmers.  All for 200ish full price (coupon codes are occasionally out there also). So far, the coat is my current fall coat and I've worn the dress.  I super love my stuff from Relish!

I also super love a company called Moxie Style.  www.moxie.style. This company has some amazing deals and kick ass customer service.  The trading group is the place to be for this company as they always have something going on!  I can't keep up most of the time!  However I have gotten some great pieces here as well for a ridiculously small amount of money.  I mean a fantastic fawn blazer for ten dollars?!? Heck to the yeah!

If anyone has any urges to see some of my cool stuff, let me know!  And I have a cold....

Fix #3-Fit issues all around....

My StitchFix showed up early! It was slated for Monday but showed up yesterday instead.  I did cheat and look at my shipping list and was really looking forward to this fix.  So, without further ado, fix #3.  (Ps-if you're unaware of StitchFix, here's the gist. You fill out a survey with regards to your personal style and pay a $20 styling fee.  They send you a box with 5 items, that $20 goes towards the cost.  Keep all 5 items, get a 25% discount.)

Items #1 and #2-41Hawthorn studded blouse and Kut from the Kloth boyfriend shorts

I've seen the blouse in quite a few reveals and really liked it on other folks. I liked the white color of the blouse and the subtle pattern.  I was also super excited about the shorts. I've been wanting a darker wash boyfriend short and really liked the distressing.  However, I sensed trouble right away when I pulled them out of the box.

So, the top was too tight in the chest area and sleeves hit at a weird spot.  It actually doesn't look that bad but trust me, moving would have been an issue! The shorts had the exact problem I thought they would.  Too big.  Could pull them away from my waist about an inch or so right out of the box.  After a couple hours of wear I think they might have ended up at my ankles.  I also wonder if they're too long? Feedback on that would be appreciated! I did say maybe size down in my comments on the shorts.

Verdict:  Returned (both)

Item #3-Papermoon Lassie Split Lace top

I'm lazy so I just left the shorts on. I couldn't find a picture of this online when I was looking so this one was a surprise.  I love the color and the idea of the top but it was warm and a bit itchy.  I knew I wouldn't use it until fall at the earliest.  For some reason, the slanty lace also bothered me.  

So, now that I'm looking at the pictures today, I actually like this better than I did yesterday.  Maybe I'll request it again once we're closer to fall and cooler temperatures.  It does draw a LOT of attention to my butt, which I'm okay with...stuff to contemplate I guess!

Verdict:  Returned (for now?)

Item #4-Pixley Turk Tank top

I had pinned this on my board pretty much right after StitchFix had posted the picture on Pinterest.  I think it is a great piece that could be dressed up and down just as easily.  I also feel like it is a very classic basic.

Verdict:  Kept!!  Yay!!

Item #5- Mystree Elene Cutout Dress

Um, yeah.  So, I loved the idea of this dress but once again I knew it was trouble out of the box!  WAY too small.  No stretch whatsoever and only a side zipper. I think it would have been wonderful if I could have gotten it over the girls.  I also would probably be stuck in it for forever..  Hanger pictures are all that were possible!  

Oh how I wish this had worked!!

Verdict:  Returned 

So I'm pretty consistent with my 1 for 5 fixes, although I think the styling was closer to what I am looking for with this fix.  I would have kept all 5 if I could have.  It was fit issues that prevented it.  I have to be moving in the right direction that way!

Happy tote day!

June's tote day is already here! Bought my large tote this morning at lunch with no problems at all.  My chosens were the Fun and Fresh tank in black elephant (to pair with my mint skinnies) and the cool contrast dress in black. I also was able to get a pair of boyfriend jeans and added on the cool cutout shirt in white.  YAY!  I'm excited as always for my tote.  I'm heading out on vacation as well so I'll have plenty to distract me from obsessively checking its status.  

Worked this weekend and had one of my strangest requests ever.  Lady (comes in all the time, we don't fill rxs for her and she's a bit...ok a lot odd) came in and came to the drop off window. She proceeds to set a smoke detector down on my counter and asks me to fix it. Um, ok.  I couldn't get the battery door open and wasn't going to mess around with it much because if I broke it, the world would have probably ended.  Propane tank at the high rise apartment building across the street from us caught on fire...they evacuated the place, to the front lawn.  Thought it was a bit of a face palm moment but luckily no one got hurt and the building itself didn't explode.

Off to watch last night's Game of Thrones on the elliptical!
