I Bought Stuff!

I mentioned a while back that I dragged Mr. RH to the outlet mall. What I failed to mention is that I found the most awesome stuff at the outlets that day.

Good shopping skills or new good luck charm? Take your pick.

Either way, I'm going to apologize for these photos in advance and just say... hey, shopping is good!! And if you agree with that statement, let's hang out sometime, ok?

First up, J. Crew Outlet. I couldn't pass up this skirt because it has A) the perfect color B) an elastic waistband and C) pockets.

I typically wear my skirts low on my hips because I like them as long as possible but hiked it up in the 2nd pic because I thought the placement on my waist might make me look thinner. Thoughts?

I bought this dress at J. Crew not because I needed it or anything but because Mr. RH loved it and it was on clearance. I don't even normally wear strapless dresses!

But it's jersey and gray - two of my favorite things... so it can't be all bad, right??

Next up, there was a Brand New (to me!) Ann Taylor LOFT outlet.... which Mr. RH insisted I check out even though there was nothing in there for him. (I'm smitten!)

This gray dress is probably a size too big but... comfy as hell. And I've gotten compliments on it in the 4 hours I wore it out of the house. Win?
I also had to snap up this headband. It was just so quirky... totally unnecessary, but needed.
Next up, Banana Republic Outlet. There was So. Much. Going. On. in this store that it was kind of difficult to shop. Pure chaos for some reason.

But I snapped up this dress and am SO glad I did.... who doesn't need a Little Pink Dress (LPD).
I also grabbed these shorts on a whim (only $15!) but I'm feeling a bit lost on how to wear them.
White looks okay with them but... should I be wearing a color? Yellow? Black? Gray? PINK? I hate shorts typically so I feel totally out of my comfort zone.

Last but not least, I chatted to Mr. RH about how my friends all bought TOMS shoes and while I think they are funky and very hip.. they were so ugly on me. Except then I tried on the wedges and it was love at first heel.

He insisted on swinging by my favorite Nordstrom in Indianapolis (the one that is CLOSING. Sob, sob sob). And I did, and he insisted I purchase:
I have worn them a ton with only minor rubbing on my toes on the first day... I'm basically in love. I would have grouped TOMS in with my major distaste for Uggs and Crocs... but honestly. They're hot. I get stopped and asked about them every single time I wear them.

It's love. I will be buying at least 1 more pair. Don't judge, fashionistas! I am weak and lovestruck! (And I'm not talking about shoes.)

Last but not least, I picked this skirt up at Target on a whim last weekend and I'm obsessed.

Can you say... most comfortable thing ever?

I can. That skirt.

So... am I the only one on a spending binge lately?? I keep telling Mr. RH that he is going to break my bank account.

But I think the honest thing is... he makes me feel so amazing about myself, I can't help but love everything I find.

Or maybe I'm just wearing rose-colored glasses.

Either way, I'll take it.
