The Day in the life of a Shopaholic....1.16.12...

"I know I said I'd quit, but limiting my shopping experiences might be a more Realistic and Attainable goal for me..."

-Me

Here recently I decided to bite the bullet.

Whatever I saw online and my heart desired, I ordered it [within reason, of course].

My birthday is coming in May and I am planning something big [for me anyways] this year.

With that being said, I am looking for potential outfits for my big day.

I can also use some new pieces to wear to work and otherwise.

I also bought some things in-store as well.

Unfortunately, some of the things I recently purchased did not work out for me.

So they had to go back.

Thus I spent today doing so and browsing for some other things that tickled my fancy.

Here's what I wore today.

I kept it super Casual and Comfy with this K.I.S.S. [Keeping It So Simple] Look with a color pallet of navy, white and gold.

I swear these are my FAVORITE "throw on and be done with it" jeans...

They are by Forever 21+ and I believe I've had them since Forever 21+ was Faith 21...

They are their fab skinny jeans that live up to their name, fitting me just fab!

At $13 and some change I've meant to go to my store and get some more... [I always get distracted and find something else I have to have when I'm in Forever 21...]

I picked this fabulous color up at Wal-Greens that I'd been looking for since New Year's.

I normally take some polish to the nail shop from my own collection, but on NYE I decided to use a charming color I saw in the nail shop. The only regret I had about this was not writing the brand name and color down.

I have been on the hunt since then and this is what I came up with.

BTW Walgreens was having an AWESOME sale on nail color! I had to stay focused an only buy what I went in there for...[Btw, the prices are only on SELECT COLORS]

[Hard as Nails Xtreme Color $0.75!]
[Rimmel London $1.09!]

[Sally Hansen Salon Effects Buy One Get One 50% off!!]

Since I was out and about all afternoon, I knew I would not have wanted to paint my own nails and toes. Thus,  I decided to get a polish change.

[The owner of the nails shop also alters my clothes so I took her some of my garments to be altered.]

I was expecting to just snap a few pictures, but my Nail Technician, Mike and I ended up doing a full-on photo shoot of the whole process.
