Errands in suburbia

Running my last few errands before the big move.. My sister saw this outfit and said it was "shabby chic" ..... so here you have it. Me and my mom's Prius about to head out for a few things. How surburban of me. Ahh I'm going to miss living at home!

Although I don't have a Valentine this year, I refuse to be a scrooge. It's still a wonderful day to celebrate the people you love! I thought I'd come up with a dream Valentine's Day date outfit, just for fun since I won't be going on one myself. Ahh well! Everything on this board is under $50 (except for the Sergio Rossi shoes.. a girl can dream, right?), so shop away, friends!

Forever New lace peplum top, $39.95

Zara Boyfriend jeans, $59.90 (okay, I lied, but that's cheap for jeans!)

Sergio Rossi heels, $650.00

Mango Heart-Shaped purse, $19.99

Betsey Johnson lovebird rubber stretch bracelet, $25.99

Bright Valentine pink rose stud earrings, $5 from Etsy

Forever 21 black studded belt (similar), $4.80

Weekday Wear

I love trying new things.. So this is my shot at print mixing and also trying to stay warm during this cold snap. It was 0 degrees in DeKalb today.. yikes! The scarf was a gift from Brussels, but the sweater I found in the sale room at Anthropologie last year. I looove Anthropologie but don't love their prices, so I always head straight to the back sale room before I fall in love with something I'll never be able to afford and get depressed.

Anyway... Happy Tuesday!

1 shirt, 3 ways

Normally, it's really hard to get me to pay $40 for a top, but in this case, it was worth it. I bought this top in the summer, so unfortunately shopruche.com no longer carries it. BUT ShopRuche is the best online shopping experience I've had. Check out their tops section, it's full of beautiful and unique pieces that you can build your wardrobe around.

Ruche carries really high quality clothing for a very decent price, so this is one place you definitely won't regret paying a little extra :)
