Black Leather & A Black Tunic

A few weeks ago Daniel & I were going out to eat for a friend's birthday & I just knew I had to wear my leather pants before I lost my chance (it was a particularly chilly,rainy night)! I had just gotten this black tunic at a new place in Longview I had never gone to called Intuition. I LOVE this tunic - it's super comfortable, hits at just the right spot & fits perfectly! My leather leggings I bought a few months ago from Body Shop & then I put my black heels from Ross with it. My necklace & earrings are actually from my mom!

New Purchases & New Wishes...

I told you a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to share some of the purchases I have made from off of my fall wish list I shared with you a few weeks ago.  I'm also going to share a few things that I am currently wanting! 

First of all, the elbow patch sweater...I LOVE this sweater!  It is so soft and has a great quality feel to it, and best of all, it has the elbow patches I was looking for!!!  I purchased it at JC Penney, and with their fabulous rewards, I was able to snag this beauty for under $15!

 

 

Next, I have been on the prowl for some leather...I'm pretty much in love with everything leather right now.  I purchased this leather jacket at Target and surprisingly, the sleeves fit great, which is always a challenge for me (sleeves are always way too long).

 

 

I have also been looking for some leather leggings, and I found some at Forever 21 (thanks to my sister Katie for sending me there!).  The leggings only cost me $12, so I was pretty excited about that!  I couldn't find the ones I bought online, so I will have to share a picture once I wear them.

 

One new thing that I want is a tartan scarf...I love the look of these scarves, and can't wait to find one...

 

 

 

I also want a pair of these shoes from Payless!  They are currently priced at $35.00, though, so I'm going to have to wait until they come down on the price a little bit!

 

 

So there you have just a few of my most current items on my wish list.  I'm afraid, though, that spending will be halted for a while...Christmas is coming, not to mention a trip to Disney World, and right after that a mission trip with my family to Guatemala!!!  So we have some big expenses coming up.  But a girl can dream; right?  Hopefully these fun things will be there after all of these expenditures are taken care of.  And if not, I guess I didn't really need them in the first place.  *Do I really believe that? No. But it sounds good.*

 

Happy Friday!

Future Fall Styles

   Let's be honest...it's still pretty warm in East TX! I haven't been just loving most of my "in between" outfits but rather looking forward to many fall/winter outfits to come! I wanted to share some of these with you! I found all of these from Pinterest & you can count on it that I WILL recreate these somehow! I love that these are so different too! Let's get started...



This...I love it! It works so well together. I found this at http://www.becauseshannasaidso.com/2013/10/three-fall-trends-with-style-elixir.html



The floral peeking out is so feminine. I really like the blouse with a sweater over it too! I don't know if I would wear the white pants or not? I saw this at  http://indulgy.com/post/GGpopcSVU1/fun-fashion-for-fall



Isn't this just beautiful? This is very much my style. I love how dainty the dress is with the buttons & tie belt & of course the pink! I like the dress paired with the grey & of course her nails painted!
This came from http://www.hellofashionblog.com/2014/09/how-to-transition-summer-maxi-into-fall.html



I think we've talked about how leather would definitely have to be done right... I think this is done just perfect. It doesn't scream that you are wearing leather pants! The pop of turquoise just adds that extra flair to the whole outfit. This can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3IPLGsLfXI.

Do you ever come across outfits that just speak to you?! I love when that happens! I have many more but they will come at a later time! :)

What I Wore Wednesday...Leather Details

I am loving the leather that is everywhere I look these days.  I absolutely fell in love with this dress when I saw it at Ross!

Outfit Details:  Dress:  Ross; Shoes: Plato's Closet

 

I have loved these shoes since the day I got them at Plato's...and I especially love them with this dress.  The shoes and dress are truly meant to be together.  I'm also loving this handbag I got at Ross...it's a Steve Madden and I paid under $20 for it!  At first I thought the zipper was a little faulty, but as I've used it, it has been fine.  I love it and can't wait to carry it more as the weather gets a little colder!

 

 

 





Don't you just love the look of leather, even in small doses?!

 

Happy Wednesday!
