Help me decide!

 

So I picked up this jacket at H&M recently and I can't decide if I should keep it. It's a little too cropped for jeans but it seems perfect for dresses and skirts. I tried to pair it with different outfits to see if I liked it enough to keep it. What do you think?

This gives me a heavy heart. A bat-ribbon, in honor of the victims of the 7/20/12 Aurora, Colorado shooting. How dare one man try to take movies away from us.

My days are becoming more of the same every day. While my internship is unpredictable and crazy, my outfits are becoming repeats. It's especially hard when my career path is very traditional, with suits as the norm. So I try to push the envelope a little farther and see how far I can get before I have to revert back to black and grey.

Thanks to law school and being constantly connected to the computer or Iphone, my eyeglasses prescription has changed at least 4 times in the past 2 years. Basically, every new school year, my eyes have tried to tell me that I read too much, too late, and in the worst lighting. There's not much I can do about that since I will probably continue these habits for years to come. So what do I do? Get new glasses!

So with the many changes my eyes go through, I seem to always be on the market for new glasses. However, that can get pretty costly so I’ve been on the lookout for new affordable eyeglasses frames for a while. GlassesUSA.com offers affordable high quality frames and lenses, as well as designer frames too!

I'm looking for eyeglasses frames that have a vintage feel to them. Something with little interesting details to them. I always gravitate towards plastic or acetate frames and I found these on the site. They are called College Tortoise Shell and they only cost $78 including the lens!

In addition, the site offers a 110% lowest price guarantee and a 100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program.

Just for you guys, GlassesUSA.com is offering 15% off and free shipping on your entire order over $50 with the code FS15 and 10% off any order of prescription glasses with code Blog10.

 

I know buying prescription glasses online can be kind of scary but they have Virtual Mirror feature that uses your webcam so you can try them on at home. It’s actually not bad and you can try it out below. Try out the Virtual Mirror below and don't forget to use your discount codes!

Five Item Challenge

Since today is the start of a new month, and after realizing that the past few months that I've been buying a lot of new clothes, I have decided to do this 5-item challenge for the next 2 months until September.

    "This challenge allows me to buy only 5 items for the next three months including accessories, but not including necessities like underwear and socks... There is no price limit, but I obviously want to do the best I can in the savings department. This will hopefully cut down on my spending for the next three months while putting a lot of thought into my purchases focusing on needs vs. wants and paying close attention to the quality of items."

I got this idea from a fashion deliberation, a new blog that I stumbled upon by a tax attorney who is petite, just like me! It's a great blog for getting inspiration for professional attire for petite women. Let's see how I do with this challenge. I have already started an excel spreadsheet for all the new purchases I've made since May. It makes viewing and remembering all those purchases easier since I tend to forget about new clothes once I've bought them. So this challenge will make me more accountable since I'll be sharing those 5 purchases with you guys.

Edit: I have decided that I'm allowed 6 items that are under $20.  Also 4 accessories under $20 as well. I'm just being honest with myself. So that allows me to do some thrifting after work, since I plan to do some more alterations at home after realizing how costly (and crappy) alterations at a dry cleaners can be.

Most of my recent purchases have been more work-related clothes due to my new summer internship. All of my old work clothes no longer fit because somehow law school has made me loose weight since my last full time job. So that meant new clothes for me!

P.S. Lately my blog has been a hodge podge of things and I'm thinking of trying to re-focus it to be more "useful". Let me know if there are things you want to see.
