Lazy with a Capital L

... What else is new? I've been so lazy to take pictures of my outfits and whatnots. I don't even know why. I think I'm just stuck in the back to school slump where I'm in denial about things I need to/should do! Le sigh, it'll catch up to me eventually. 

Outfit post for today:
It was actually pretty chilly out today without a jacket! I got off school at 2:30 and I thought it'd be warmer downtown but nope. I guess fall is finally starting to kick in.

Leggings | Charlotte Russe
Necklace | Forever 21
Watch | Michael Kors

In other news, I took a short trip down to Lynnwood this weekend and picked up a couple things. There wasn't too much to buy though and imo this area of the west coast is just really shopped out! I'm sure shopping is way better when you move down the coast and into California but a trip there isn't happening any time soon :(
Found this Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C Clutch at Nordstrom Rack for $159.97! It's missing a tassel but I can live without it. I'll probably just end up taking it off like I did with my black mini M.A.C.
I'm not sure how much this retails for in Canada, but the US tag says $295.00.

Size comparison between the mini M.A.C. (black) and the M.A.C. (white)

Also picked this up from the Seattle Premium Outlet at the Fossil Store
It was $99.99
Not sure how much this retails for in Canada either but the US retail price was $200

The rest of these purchases are from Canada!
Also got these light grey zippered skinnies from Zara. I was searching for just the right grey color and these worked out perfectly. A friend gave me a pair of harem pants from Zara but since I have a pair already I exchanged them for these.

Another thing I've been itching to buy for the closet is brown pants! I think these are great for the fall especially as an alternative to black skinnies. Can't wait to wear this with baggy sweaters and cardigans during the fall.
These are from Bluenotes and they were cheap so I figured I might as well. They were about $17.75.

Hehe don't ask me why, but I also had to buy this hat. I promise I'll wear it in the winter because it was an impulse purchase for $3.50.

That's all for today! Happy trails everyone. Enjoy the last little bits of what looks like summer until it starts to rain everyday and fall is really here.

What's New in My Closet

AKA some recent purchases.

Unfortunately I don't have photos for the first 2 items. They need to be dry cleaned since strap from my Chanel purse transferred black dye. I hate it when that happens!

T. Babaton Silk Blouse (in pale blue, not black)

Wilfred Bustier Top (in ice age (a pale blue color), not delphinium)
These were purchased from Aritzia during the Snooze You Lose Sale, not the warehouse sale.

Unfortunately (but fortunately for my wallet), I didn't buy much in Vegas. Surprisingly my boyfriend bought way more than I did for once!

Seven for All Mankind Roxanne Skinnies

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Natural Beauty. I should've shopped more at Sephora since it's cheaper than ours in Canada and the tax in Vegas was only 8.1%!

Since I've been back I've only online shopped. No time for the mall!

Chiffon Blouse from Bluenotes

Lace Tank from Bluenotes

Forever 21 is having a buy one get one free Labour Day sale so I also bought some times. $76 after tax for 12 pieces is pretty good! Here's what I ordered:
Neon Polka Dot Print Romper

Sheer Lace Panel Tunic

Chiffon Trimmer Trapeze Tank

Boxy Eyelash Lace Top

Striped Woven Tank

Flowers & Rosettes Tank
Not a fan of the rosettes so I'll see if I can remove them.

Lace Tank Top

High Back Swing Tank

Tie-Dye Trapeze Tank

Lace Back Trapeze Tank

Denim Cutoffs

Knit One Shoulder Bandage Dress

Whew, that was a lot of stuff to post. I think I'm done back to school shopping, then again I always say I'm "done" shopping :)

Trousers

Just bought my first pair of trousers! They were super cheap so I coudn't resist. I bought them from Bluenotes online since they had free shipping and I used a couple codes to get more discounts, bringing the total to $15. Their quality is definitely hit and miss, more miss imo, but for the price that's okay. I didn't want to buy a more expensive pair from Zara so these will do for now.

Pleated Front Roll Up Pant with Skinny Belt

How I'd style this:
I think these pants would look great for a business casual/dressy look. I'd pair them with a fitted black blazer and creme colored top underneath or with a blue button up dress shirt only. To make this outfit look more laidback I would tie my hair in a high, messy bun.
