Colorblock

Guess what, guys...I'm doing an individual outfit post!!! Is this a sign of the apocalypse?! ;) I wore this yesterday, I got quite a lot of compliments at work, don't you enjoy when that happens?

I am SO in love with these Free People jeans, they are PERFECTION and fit like a glove! They are an amazing dark wash with no fading or rips and they have a great flare! The best part is they were only $30 instead of $100, oh how I love Marshalls! The only problem is, since I'm so short, I can only wear them with my super high heels, like these Burberry's from The Outnet. This Express top is also amazing, I'm so glad I had a coupon which subsequently made me go into the store.  I ended up with this and the purple top I wore a couple weeks ago.  This has two of my favorite colors in it: maroon & purple! (though in these photos the maroon looks more red)

I felt so awkward taking these photos so if you can tell, sorry! Our neighbors kept going in and out of the house and I felt like they were watching me...AHH! If my roommate was taking my pictures we could have just had fun and laughed while doing it, but since I was using a tripod it would be a bit weird for me to laugh with a tripod ;)

Click to enlarge the photos!


Top: Express $35, Jeans: Free People via Marshalls $30, Wedges: Burberry Prorsum via The Outnet $80, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I'm hoping to do a post like this at least once a week, or maybe even twice depending on how I feel.

    Those bell bottoms were so made for you! They look so comfy and the length is perfect for you, I always have trouble with that though!

    Seriously that top was $35?? I am kicking myself! Just saw it at the mall tonight while window shopping and was sooo tempted to go in for it but didn't. Just call me a loser... it looks great on you!

    I love Express, and Marshalls! I go to Express all the time and literally want to roll around in all of their knits (especially now that Fall is here). I adore your top. And sweetie, you are not short! Your legs look like they go on for miles.
