Post Christmas Shopping

Hi everyone and happy hump day! I hope all of you are having a fabulous week so far. The day after Christmas, my mom and I ventured to the mall to make some returns and do a little shopping. It was actually not as crazy as I expected it to be and thanks to some gift cards and holiday cash, I was able to add two fun new things to my wardrobe. Take a look and let’s discuss:

The Haul:

  • Forever 21 cropped rainbow sweater
  • Loft velvet skinny jeans

F21 Sweater: I lucked out this Christmas and ended up getting some gift cards to Forever 21 which is easily one of my favorite stores. I think that this sweater is the cutest and it was only twenty dollars which, in my opinion, was a steal. My mom and I went shopping at just the right time because I snagged the only small that was left among a bunch of larges! GREAT SUCCESS. I am actually wearing my new sweater along with my velvet skinnies from Loft at this very moment and it looks adorable! Pictures will definitely be up some time this week so stay tuned! 🙂

Loft Jeans: First of all, Loft literally has the best skinny jeans that I have ever worn, so I was so happy to score another pair that was marked all the way down to twenty-seven bucks from seventy! Second of all, I have had a love/hate relationship with the velvet trend that has been so popular as of late. I love some of the velveteen pieces that I’ve seen but I hate that none of them speak to me on a personal level! But, black velvet skinnies are definitely something that I can do since you guys all know that black skinnies are all I wear. Not only is the fit of the Loft skinny jeans superb but the velvet adds a fun new texture to every outfit and I am loving them with my Forever 21 rainbow sweater! ❤

After a tiny post Christmas shopping haul, it’s now time to save my money and store away my Forever 21 gift cards until spring to add to my warm weather wardrobe. However, this is going to be SO HARD considering my email inbox is legitimately overflowing with sale notifications from all of my favorite stores! GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!!

So there you have it, my Post Christmas Shopping! Has anyone scored some amazing after holiday deals? Where is the best place to get the best price after the holiday season? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Three trends that I’m OVER

Alright world, we need to talk. There are three trends that need to end ASAP. My fashion sense is very sharp, so these three popular fall trends are absolute deal breakers for me, because they look sloppy as hell.

Trend 1: JOGGERS. Jesus god, why? THESE ARE LITERALLY SWEAT PANTS.

There is NOTHING OKAY about wearing these out in public. Do you want to look like you’re in your pajamas? Come on girls, you’re better than that. I understand that people think that they can “dress these up” with a cute shirt or some heels, but answer me this question. Would you ever wear heels with your sweat pants? No? I didn’t think so. Let’s be sharp ladies, I’m talking a nice trouser, a great jean. Literally anything but this heinous excuse for a “fashion” statement.

Trend 2: CROP SWEATERS. I get it. Crop tops are cute. They’re a fun summer staple, and I’ll tell you what, I rocked the hell out of my crop tops this summer…but that’s neither here nor there. Crop tops don’t belong in a fall wardrobe. WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR STOMACH TO BE COLD?! Goosebumps on your tummy are NOT cute!!!! Fall should be about cozy, chunky sweaters that serve a purpose….TO KEEP YOU WARM! Save the teeny tiny sweaters for Baby Gap.

I genuinely don’t understand this trend. Why waste your money on half a sweater? Spend five dollars more and get a full on cardigan that will last you through fall, winter, hell your entire life!

Trend 3: KIMONOS. This trend is the less of the two evils that I mentioned above, but I’m still over it, just the same. I liked the idea of these tops in the beginning a lot, but then the trend got out of control. Everywhere I turned there was a kimono top in the exact same shape and the exact same unoriginal floral print. I suppose these tops are acceptable. Maybe I’m just bitter because they look like maternity tops on me. BUT that still doesn’t change the fact that some of these kimonos are super sloppy. I’ve seen many that look like the girl wearing them literally draped a curtain over herself. Maybe I should just wrap a bath towel around my arms and start the next big thing.

I dunno guys, these tops just do nothing for me. And I feel like they do nothing for a lot of people.

Are there any trends that you guys are ready to be rid of? What are your thoughts on some of these trends I mentioned above? Comment back and let’s talk! -Sarah
