Weekend Gingham

Compared to my silk pants post last week, this weekend outfit is pretty simple and easy.  I wanted to wear my new boots and with the gingham shirt I felt a little equestrian.  Nothing wrong with that though!

Trench: H&M (similar here or here), Shirt: J.Crew, Jeans: Massimo Dutti (similar here), Boots: Audrey Brooke, Bag: Vintage Dooney & Bourke, Necklace: Anthropologie, Watch: Fossil

My Shopping Mission

First of all I hope you all had a fab Easter weekend (and if you don't celebrate, just a fab weekend!).  If you read my post on Friday or follow me on Twitter, you'll notice I talked about a little shopping mission.  I haven't had much extra money for shopping lately but I decided I really wanted to add some spring clothes to my wardrobe and I also wanted some new clothes for my trip.
So, on Friday I set out on a mission:  $150 budget/6 Items/10 Stores

Things I was looking for:
White jeans/pants
Yellow jeans
Summer blazer
New Dress (lace, striped, or just springy in general)
Pink pants
Sandals

Stores on my list:

New York & Co.
Gap
TJ Maxx
Target
Kohl's
JC Penny
Marshall's
Ann Taylor Factory Store
Forever 21
Gap Factory Store
I didn't make it to Target, Kohl's, JC Penny or Marshall's but I did go by Old Navy.

Here's what I ended up with!

New York & Co.

Old Navy

Forever 21

Ann Taylor Factory Store

Gap Factory Store

So I was definitely missing the summer blazer, white jeans, yellow jeans and sandals but I couldn't resist the gingham skirt, the shoes are kind of like sandals, and the yellow sweater kind of replaces the lack of yellow jeans.  I went over my budget by $15 so total I spent $165 but I got some pretty good stuff!  Can't wait to show you all how I'll be styling it.

Channelling Blair

I actually wore this outfit last week and was going to do a post that incorporated brights on a sunny day but it seemed so inappropriate (considering our weather changed from 65 to 32 degrees overnight - AwfulIKnow).
So, here's my "channelling Blair of Atlantic-Pacific" outfit.  I obsess over her penchant for layering and especially layering button up shirts.  And there is honestly nothing better than gingham.  I'm thinking I should have worn the gingham over the top though - what do you think?

Shirts: J.Crew, Skirt: Forever 21, Tights: Kohl's, Shoes: Jessica Simpson, Necklace: DIY'd here

Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: J.Crew and Gifted

Side note: I think photographing on the front porch is out of the question for now on.  Really bad lighting!
