It was one of the first nice weather days in these parts, which I was super excited about. I wanted to be comfortable for lounging at the movies, so I chose my long maxi and brightened it up with fun colors. You have probably noticed I am wearing my two colors of Amber shrugs from SWAK quite a lot lately. I need to get some more colors ASAP! They are so comfortable and go with pretty much everything. These are two easy go-to pieces that can be changed up with accessories. They allow me to be cool and relaxed while being a little more pulled together.
I absolutely love these sandals too; Torrid sold them last year. Not only do I wish I bought the black ones too, but I wish they sold lots more colors. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. At the bottom of this post, I have included a scrolling shopping gallery of similar items. Let me know if you like this addition to posts.
Black Maxi - Lane Bryant
Amber Shrug - SWAK Designs
Bubble Necklace - Lane Bryant (Etsy has a TON!)
Tassel Sandals - Torrid
Miche Prima Bag - Gifted from my Mother-in-Law
I have had a few requests to use my handbag in more photos. I usually don't have it with me for photos because it is giant and heavy. lol Here is my giant Miche bag my mother-in-law gave me. I am using the metallic Natasha shell with the Prima base bag. Miche bags are cool in that you can change up the outer shell without taking everything out of your purse. However, the base and shells can be quite expensive. I recommend browsing eBay if you are interested in one. It was a major undertaking to go from this to my smaller Coach bag. (However, my shoulders and back thank me!)

For your viewing pleasure, I have put together this gallery of similar items to include black maxis, colorful shrugs, bright bubble necklaces, and tasseled sandals.
mega love for this look!!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so cute and put together. I like the pink sandals with this!
ReplyDeleteI was going to tell you I liked your little shopping scroll and that you included stuff that is cheap, but then I looked at the little fringy sandals and realized that the ones I liked were $767. Hahaha. I am going to check out some of the maxi dresses, though...there are a couple from Target, and I have pretty good luck with their dresses. I also have pretty good luck with their prices. (This week brought the unexpected need to purchase a new monitor for my computer because mine quit working, and the only "spare" we have is this tiny little old one and it gives me eyestrain just thinking about it. Also, I should probably post an entry instead of just writing a novel in your comments, lol.)
LOL Write away! You know I love comments and writing you a novel as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment! I love the pink sandals so much. I love how the tassel moves around when I walk. :-)
Those Dolce and Gabbana sandals were one of my faves too, which is really the only reason I included them. I loved that they were multi-colored and maybe I can make some kind of sandal clip on that looks similar. Otherwise, I had to pay for than $40 for shoes. LOL
I will continue using the scrolly app and see how it goes. They had a pretty good selection and I tried to include things that were available in as many sizes as I could find. Happy Shopping!
PS - That sucks about the monitor! I had one that stopped working and Sean was actually able to replace the light inside of it and it was fine. He even managed to put it back together using all its parts. Don't ask me how! I have no idea! lol
Thank you!! I think I am going to get a turquoise shrug next and see how that looks. :-)
ReplyDeleteDude, the extent of my attempt to fix it involved seeing if the plug from my laptop fit (it didn't) and trying a different power cord (also fail). I don't think mine's a light bulb issue, or I might actually try that...I can fix some computer things. It just would not turn on at all. I was hoping it *was* just the plug, and that maybe one of the cats had just chewed it. It wouldn't be the first time they have eaten technology, although they generally stick to headphones and maybe the phone charger. The good news is, the new monitor DOES use the same plug as the laptop. Hahaha.
