Returned :(

Venice Zip-Detail Crossbody Bag - Navy
Here was another one. I wanted a crossbody bag. I pinned a few, my stylist noticed, but something about this one wasn't right. The color? The size? The detail? What ever it was it didn't make me want to keep it.Returned

Walt Skirt - Black
Looking back at these pictures, I actually look better than what I felt at the time. The material of the skirt was great, but with horiztonal stripes across wide hips and not being very forgiving around the "self-conscious" areas, I decided to return it.Returned
Dear John #8915-529
Marson Wide Leg Denim Trouser - Navy
Returned

Jalissa Knit Top - Dark Gray - $48

Out of Comfort Zone: Level Skirt - Day 4
I don't wear skirts to work. It just doesn't happen. Whenever I decide to wear something nice, that's the day I'm crawling all over the floor in the manufacturing shop, but the goal of this is to push myself outside my comfort zone. So I pushed and wore a long black maxi skirt to work. Looking back, I think this outfit was a little much and I probably won't revisit it, but I tried. I was also pretty proud that I pulled the khaki jacket and the belt out of my closet and I've had both for years. This experience really is helping me figure out the best way to work with what I already have.
I don't have to run out and purchase an entire wardrobe, even though I want to. I can make my current pieces more fashionable with a few tweaks.
Nadine West Review - July 2015
*UPDATE*
For those who are unfamiliar with Nadine West, it is another monthly personal stylist subscription. This site seems to be much younger than sites such as Stitch Fix. This service is completely free, there is no styling fee and no shipping fees. They currently only do tops and jewelry and the prices for each piece average between $10 and $20. At least from the ones I have received. You receive 4 items in each shipment and only pay for what you keep.
This is my second shipment. My first shipment was horrible (don't have pictures). Their style matching is much less sophisticated and in depth as Stitch Fix, but it is entirely free unless I keep something so I'm sticking with it for a little while.
Returned!
Keep!
Keep!
This bracelet did not fit my wrist, wasn't comfortable, and wasn't my style. I really only ever wear my pandora bracelet. Not really a fan of others.Returned!

Adulting Our Living Room
We just signed our lease renewal for another 15 months and my husband said he would even be interested in another year after that. So it seemed time to start settling in to our current place. It's only been 10 months!
This was our living room.
Adulting for the win!

First Steps into Acessorizing - Day 3
I an doing research on how to change up my wardrobe and make my clothes more stylish. Apparently belts can help with making your look more pulled together. Today was the first day that I didn't have a "new" outfit to wear so I tried the belting my shirt underneath my cardigan. I think it turned out pretty well. What do you think?
