Hey everyone! This is a collective haul from the past month. Where I'm from we don't have Forever 21 or H&M, so I take full advantage whenever I'm near one. You'll definitely see a reoccurring theme to everything I got. Everything is very minimalistic and basic. Some people may think it's boring, but it's just what I've been gravitating to. I love the clean look to everything. I have tried to branch out into more color, but I can't help myself! Anyways, let's get to the haul...
On my first trip to Forever 21 I picked out this striped dress. I've been into stripes more recently. I think they're classic and you really can't go wrong with them. Then I picked up some leggings. As soon as I saw these I thought "AMERICAN APPAREL DISCO PANTS" without the insane price tag. Although they don't have the zipper, button, and pockets, I think they're a great alternative for a steal.
You might have read my post from about a week and a half ago that I was out of town. I was helping one of my best friends settle into her new apartment where she'll be going to dental school! And it was a little mini vacay for me before I went back to school. In the middle of all our errand running and her orientation, we found time to go to the mall (of course).
First thing I picked up from Forever 21 were these black/gray high rise skinny jeans. These are AMAZING! They're so comfortable and they look great on. Then I found a blue pair and I just had to get them. They aren't high rise but they look just as good. For the price, I couldn't pass them up.
Something that I've been on the look out for was a nice, slightly oversized button up. I found a white one, tried it on with the jeans, and I was sold. It was exactly what I was looking for.
A couple of days later I went back to the mall for the H&M opening. This H&M was the biggest one I've been to, and it had such a bigger selection! All other H&M's I've been to were very small, and it was very rare that I left the store with anything. I actually had to come back later that day because the opening was so crazy and hectic that I couldn't concentrate (THE STRUGGLE). When I did go back though, I found some great stuff. I think H&M might be my new favorite store...
I've been trying to find a good denim button up that wasn't insanely priced, and I finally found one! I also got a gray t-shirt dress with cut off sleeves, and it's very comfortable. As soon as I saw it I knew how and where I wanted to wear it. (I'll have a blog post about that soon.) Then I picked up a graphic sweater. I LOVE graphic tees, and I had to get the sweater because it's perfect to wear at school in those cold class rooms!
To end this post I'll leave you with this...
I went to Ikea for the first time on that trip! We had dinner there and I went for the classic Swedish meatballs! SO GOOD!
Have a great week!
