Spring Style - Fashion Haul Part 2

The high-waisted style that emerged early last spring, is definitely style going to be a trend we see a lot of this spring. I personally love all things cut high waisted! Jeans, dress pants, shorts, and skirts - i own and wear in a high-waisted style! They are actually really flattering in the way they accentuate a girl's waistline. High waisted jeans or dress pants can also make a casual outfit more dressy like tucking in a looser fitted Tee or tank!

In the spring or summer, my go-to outfit is a pair of high waisted shorts and cropped top. I found these shorts at Pacsun a couple of weeks ago and ended up buying the style in 3 colors because they fit me so well! It's hard finding a good pair of high-waisted shorts! They are called Bullhead Denim Co Mom Shorts and were $36.95 each before tax. (Links to purchase below pictures)

I am not sure if you can tell in the picture, but they have a single rolled hem and were very flattering on me. On me they did not cut too tightly at the thigh which many shorts with a rolled hem tend to do!

The blue jean denim shorts are no longer on the website, but check stores if interested!

With my high-waisted shorts outfit, I typically throw on a pair of combat boots and cute trouser socks for a pop of color. This spring because I am going to be traveling and running around a bit I wanted to get a few pairs of sneakers. I fell in love with these tiffany blue high-top converse! Because I was shopping at the Converse Outlet, I got a great deal and went with a pair in white as well!


The exact color of the converse pictured above is called "Beach Glass" and they were $49.99 at full price in the outlet. The white pair pictured below was marked down in store to $29.97. However, in the Tanger Outlet Coupon book there was a deal for $15 off your purchase of $75 or more!

My grand total for both pairs came to $67.97!


My last stop at the Tanger Outlets this trip was to Jcrew. I have mentioned before what great deals I always find at these outlets and this was no different! In-store they had a 50% off entire purchase of already marked down prices.

As I had just said, I love wearing trouser socks with my boots or sneakers for a pop color and thought these three pairs were too cute for spring! Two have an all-over anchor print and the third pair has little yellow pineapples! The socks came to $4.25 each! 


Factory Critter Socks - HERE (Online Price $6.50)

Also in my hand I am holding a skinny leather waist belt I picked up to go with my shorts. This was the only on I found and it was only $5.52 ! The color of the belt I really just loved and the metal closure which sadly you cannot see in my picture is gold. I have already worn it a bunch with my high waisted jeans and chambray shirts tucked in! These skinny waist belts are definitely a must for anyone wanting to wear the high-waisted style!

I actually found the link to the belt on their factory website as well! Although its not as cheap online, I would recommend this belt to anyone! I purchased mine in the "English Saddle" color.

Spring Style - Fashion Haul Part 1

As warmer weather approaches, it is time for us to update some of our necessary style pieces! I have been carrying the same purse since fall and really wanted something new for spring. While I still love my latest bag of choice, it was time for a change. Along with my purse, I had been using a Kate Spade Sandra Wellelsley Patent Stripe Flap Wallet in Black/White. It definitely gave off a wintery vibe!

I had been in and out of Kate Spade a few times the past couple months, but could not find anything I really loved! Then the other day I found the cutest floral printed wallet that definitely screamed spring/summer! Best of all, it went perfectly with my current green purse! Rather then buy a whole new bag, I decided to just switch out my old wintery wallet for a more suitable spring option!


This is the Kate Spade Stacy Southport Avenue Floral Wallet. The Original Price for this wallet was $178. The outlet price was 95. After discounts, I paid $48.45 before tax! Great deal!

Although it is rather small for a wallet, it actually holds a lot more then you think! It has a lot of room for credit cards, which for me is great because I always have a ton of gift cards and membership cards! As you can see in the picture below, it has 13 credit card slots. But note that you can double up on cards and the wallet will still close with ease! Below the credit card slots, there are 2 more on each side that can hold cash, receipts, or more cards! There is also a zipper on the back for loose change!


I absolutely love my new wallet! I have gotten so many compliments and questions about when/where I got it. I never pay full price for my bags or wallets. I always shop Kate Spade at the Tanger Outlets! They really have great prices. Typically at the outlet everything is at least 40% off of the original store price. Then, they always have 30, 40, or 50 percent off of their outlet price! This time it was 40%! They often do an additional 20% on top of that, but you'll have to keep checking in because they don't let you know ahead of time! If there isn't an additional 20% you can always use your student ID at checkout. That's right! Kate Spade offers 15% to anyone with a valid student ID!

So make sure you check out Kate Spade at the Outlets if your in need of a new handbag or wallet! And don't forget your student IDs!

Target Home - Clearance Finds !

I recently had some really cute little finds at Target I thought I would share! I have been loving a lot of their home stuff lately. This tray I have had my eye on for a while. Originally the Nate Berkus Wood and Resin Hexagon Tray 16" was $34.99 and not a necessity so I didn’t buy it, but when I was at Target this past weekend I found it in the clearance section marked down to $10.08! I love it and it fits perfectly on my nightstand!
 
 
There were a few left at my local target. You can also find this item online however, online price is $27.99. Buy Here
Not too helpful in this case, but I did learn recently that target will match their online prices if you find an item on their site cheaper online then it is marked in store. All you have to do is bring the item to guest services and show them on your phone or other device!
 
 
The second item I got is this little picture frame (pictured to the farthest right in photo above). I am not sure what it was priced originally, because I can’t seem to find it online but I bought it for only $2.38! It is called Threshold Picture Frame in New Cream. I found it available in 4x6 size online at full price, but as you can tell from my picture mine is very small. Buy Bigger Size Here
 
I know I have not posted in a while, but I have started shopping for Spring and will be posting more later this week! Stay tuned! xoxo kirigirl
