Sorry for the lack of blogging but as you can see I was busy stimulating the economy. LOL. Thankfully the pay from my previous employer came in on the 4th instead of the 5th like the bank had said it would. I was still able to do my Orlando shopping trip. After I paid all my bills like a good little adult I definitely went hog wild in the shops.

In the top left corner are the items I got from H&M. They had a lovely 4th of July deal that you would receive a scratch off worth up to $100 off if you were one of the first 100 people in the door. Both Brit and I received $10 off a purchase of $20 or more. I bought a dress, a belt, a cardigan and two pairs of flats. The top right is from Forever 21. Let me tell you that I dislike buying from stores where you cannot return for full refund. So the fact that I purchased something from Forever 21 meant that I waited in line for a half hour to try on about 6 different pieces and left with a tunic length tank top, a crop top and a dress. The bottom left are my Urban Outfitter goods. I told myself this trip I would buy one purse and one wallet max. I still haven't found a purse I like but I did find a $10 clearance wallet. Brit got the same in a sherbert orange and we are going to swap when we get bored. The polka-dot shorts are absolutely GORGEOUS (on me & off). I am so in love with them that not only did I spend $30 on them (they were on clearance) that I've already worn them twice. Oh & the make up was $5 and a last minute impulse as was the nail polish. I'm addicted to nail polish. Brit and I estimate between us we have over 300 nail polishes and I cut mine down when I moved too. The bottom right picture is all my bags put together. They are discontinuing my favorite scent at Bath and Body Works and the full size bottles of them were $2.75 a piece from $11. I bought 3 shower gels and 3 lotions. That should hold me over between everything else I own in lotion from BBW. I used to work there. Huge mistake. LOL.

Then on Saturday I got paid from my current employer and my room mate and I decided to go shopping in Spring Hill because they have a Sephora,  Rue 21 and an Old Navy. I am in desperate need of jeans and Gap jeans actually fit and come in a length that I can actually wear and not look ridiculous. So I bought two pairs of my jeans and am utterly shocked that I spent $60 on jeans. But I did get a $20 off coupon when I spend $50 that I can use in a few weeks so I will be going back and buying two more pairs so I can use the coupon and then I should be good in the jeans department since I only had one pair of jeans. They were starting to get a hole from where they rub together in the leg too. They were also too long and needed hemming but I've just been too lazy to do it. Rue 21 was having some really good deals. They had a ton of clearance. I tried to get this jumper but my torso is so long that when I tried to pull it down so it didn't ride in the groin I ended up spilling out in the chest because it was strapless. So I ended up buying two dresses and two tank tops. Everything floral. I didn't end up getting to go to Sephora because we went to the Goodwill and went thrifting. BTW I dislike Goodwill and how over priced they are but I thought maybe I could get some stuff to DIY. I did get a flannel shirt I plan on altering for a DIY tutorial for here so look out for that.

I will be busy putting together outfits to post for the fashion section and then the DIY tutorial this weekend on top of going back to Orlando to go to Universal as a going away present for my really close friend. So I'm going to MIA again for the next week because I also started classes again this week. Short lived reprieve.
