We're just over a month into 2014 and I made a couple goals for myself. I don't really make resolutions because I know I won't keep them. But these two goals are something I always strive to do and one is a lot easier than the other.  Marshalls recently challenged me to shop in their stores to help out with these resolutions/goals...no problem!  The first, which I'm featuring today is to never pay full price for fabulous clothes!  I headed to the store knowing there were a few staple items I wanted, but didn't want to pay an arm and a leg. Thankfully Marshalls was there to save the day!

I went in with the objective of finding one great outfit, fortunately (or unfortunately for my wallet) I found two outfits I couldn't leave the store without!  This first outfit features something I have been hunting for since last year: black skinny jeans.  I have wanted to find a pair of J Brand black skinnies and every time I headed to Marshalls they had some - just never in my size (or the ones with the buckles at the ankle, which are cool, but not exactly classic.) I ended up with these "Danica black zip" skinny jeans, not exactly what I wanted, but they fit like a glove!  I then found an adorable fox sweater to pair with them! Did I mention it was all on clearance! Here's the breakdown:

Song of the Day: Foxy Lady (Jimi Hendrix)

J Brand Jeans $220 (regular price) -> $69.99 (Marhsalls price) -> $49.99 (clearance price)
Vertical Design Sweater - $80 (regular price) -> $39.99 (Marhsalls price) -> $29.99 (clearance price)

Jeans: J Brand c/o Marshalls, Sweater: Vertical Design c/o Marshalls, Boots: Chloé (Roundabout Resale), Bag: Chanel, Watch: Skagen (Rue La La), Rings: vintage, Brilliant Imports snake ring & Mom's 


Stay tuned for my next goal in a couple weeks: cooking at home more instead of just heating up Trader Joe's premade chicken or Ellio's pizza.
