Thrifting+ color denims

I promise on my last post that I would do a separate blog post on some of the thrift findings that I've purchase a few months ago but never have the time to blog about it so here it is. I'll just make it short and simple. Sorry about the bad pictures. I should've put the pieces together and do an outfit of it one by one, but my place is a total mess right now because of all the packing and boxes so I do apologize for it. Hopefully it'll just give you a quick idea of what the pieces look like.

I love this top. It's a very light pastel peach color with white little bows that look almost like polka dots.  It was so cute especially wearing it as layering under cardigans and sweaters. $3- Salvation Army

Pastel pink floral button down. So vintage chic. The fabric is a little heavy, but it also flow very beautifully. Perfect for Spring and summer. $1- Good Will

I love-love-love this blazer. So the story here was that this blazer accidentally caught onto my cart while I was digging my way around the isle. The texture caught my attention right away. It fitter so perfectly and I knew that I couldn't pass not buying it so I just got to get it. I love the texture of it, the color, the pockets and the piping. Everything about this blazer--I love it. A very neutral color with two tone of the nude shade. What I also love about it is that it can look masculine but chic. $5- Good Will (A little expensive, but worth it)

This is actually 3 size bigger than my regular shirt/top size. I usually wear size small, but I'm more into loose and flowy top because it make me feel like I can breathe more so most of the time I would buy my tops in size M. The size of this black asymmetrical top with beautiful lace detailing on the shoulder is XL. yeah a little too big, but it actually fitted well. It flows down very nicely and I actually like the way it is loose on me. It's also very sheer and very cute. $3- Salvation Army

I have a confession to make. I never liked knitting clothes. Anything that is knitted I hated it. I don't like wearing it and I just never buy any knitted clothing. Why? Because wearing knitting clothing make me feel insecure about my body. That's just the way how I feel for the longest time ever, but when I came upon this knitted sweater, I knew that I just have to get it. I was hesitating at first because I wasn't too sure about it, but I actually liked it a lot. Yes if you're wondering, this is my first and only knitted piece of clothing that I ever own. What I like about this is that the sleeves are short and this can be worn for all season long. I like the detailing of the knitting pattern. I'm glad I bought it. $2- Salvation Army

White tank top with lace detailing. It's cute, but it's not one of my favorite. I just like it how it's very simple and cute. $3- Salvation Army

My very first two color denim. I know! I was never really a big fan of color denim because I always thought they were a little too over the top, but hey I take back my thought because I actually love them. I picked out these two denim from Target while doing some random shopping there. At first I didn't even know why I pick them up, but after trying them on, I just so totally love them. I like to go for the more darker and cooler color vs the bright colors. Just not very into anything that is bright-bright. :) One good thing about these babies is that they were on sale. yes, it was originally $22.99, but I got it on clearance so it was only $11.48 a pair. What are your thoughts on color denim?

What's in my bag-- a little too much

Hey there. I know I said that I'll try my best to keep my blog updated, but I haven't been doing so lately because I was busy trying to catch up on some of my school work and packing/ cleaning/boxing a few things; getting ready for our moving this summer back home to California. Sorry if I haven't been keeping up with my blog. :)

Last night Benjamin and I end up staying up til 4 am (actually I stay up til 4 am, but Benjamin didn't sleep til just this morning around 8-9 am). Crazy as it sound, we usually stay up very late on the weekends and I'm sure we're not the only one. Yesterday we spend a few hours doing some hygiene and office supplies shopping at Target and Office Max which I end up picking a few items, but I won't go into details on that. Tomorrow I will post up the items and do a separate blog on that instead including some of the thrifting clothing that I purchase a few weeks ago, but just never got the chance to blog about it.

A few hours ago I was cleaning my bag and decided to reorganize all the things that I had inside it. It never came across to me how much items I have inside my shoulder bag. If you don't know, I'm the kind of person who like to collect and over buy things that I don't even need. I tend to buy and hoard myself with unnecessary items (I admit I am a huge hoarder). I tend to over buy things such as lip balm, hand lotion, and any writing notebooks or note stickers/tabs that I find attractive to me. Yes it's a very bad habit of mine and sometime I buy them without realizing that I don't need it. After laying everything out in front of me, it sure hit me hard in the head making me realize that I really need to stop and control this bad habit of mine. Yes it's a lot.

I'm surprise that all of these thing was able to fit inside my mid size shoulder bag.

Too much hand lotion? I think so.

These are not the only lip balm that I own. I found a few more in my other hand bags and a $25 Starbucks gift card from Benjamin love.

This is my biggest and most baddest hoarding problem. Sometimes Benjamin even had to drag me out of the store. For some odd reason, I just love collecting notebooks and notepads. Is it bad? These are just a few that I like to carry it with me in case I was stuck in traffic, at the DMV, or somewhere boring and that I can just take it out and do some doodling on it or write notes to myself. The others are display on the shelves. Yes I also purchase notebooks for home decor too.

A pair of 3D gasses from the movie.

A couple bandages, a few hair-ties, and some of my medication.

 

 

I think it's time to update to a bigger handbag or maybe I just need to downsize some of the items that I had in my bag and take a few things out? It's not really good to over carrying items for it may cause some health damage to your shoulder, but it's ok to over pack your bag sometimes. You know what they say: "It's better to have multiple then not having at all". So I can't really argue on that because it is true. Isn't it in a girl's nature to over buy things though? What do you think?  I just hope I'll be able to stop myself the next time I encounter some of these items that I am attempted to buy every single time. It'll help save me a few bucks :). Have a good day.
