Haul

So... it is probably bad, bad, bad, but the past week or so I have just been shopping like crazy. It's clothing that really gets me. I try not to let it get out of control, but sometimes I just feel like my wardrobe needs something...and well I can't resist! It would be much easier to keep myself out of the stores... if they didn't exist online! It's just too simple. I'll be browsing the Internet, see something I like, and boom I must get it. Well I do have some limitations. I don't really buy anything that's too expensive. You won't see me buying a one hundred dollar pair of jeans or anything like that. I mostly stick to the cheap shops, with a few exceptions. I don't know why I am so hooked on Internet shopping. I've had enough disappointments with purchases that you would think I would steer clear of it, but whatever, I still love my Internet shopping. Especially since there are not many good shops here in Butt town haha.

Anywho... here is what I have indulged in this week:


I got this black cardigan from Wet Seal because I thought it would be a nice addition to any outfit. From this picture I thought it seemed like it would be rather thick, but it turns out it's pretty thin. Oh well, I still adore it, and it's really cozy.

This tube top looks adorable in the picture and I was sure I would absolutely love it. It has a really cute tie back, and I dunno, it just looked good to me. Of course, I was a bit disappointed when I took it out of the package. The material was just really strange and heavier than I expected. It also was a bit too big for me. I might send it back, but I don't know if I'll actually get around to it. shame. I had never shopped at wet seal before, but they had a lot of cute things. I just think I will be more careful of them in the future because the pictures can be misleading.
Honestly, I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this. I know buying print tops online is not the best idea because it can look completely different in person. I think I wanted this because I was looking for something kind of grayish to go with this yellow vest I ordered I thought a tube top would be perfect with it, and this was the only grayish tube top I could find on wet seal (I didn't want to look at another shop because I only wanted to pay one shipping fee). Well I got it a couple days ago in the mail, and really it's not too bad.. I just have to find the right bra to go with it. My boyfriend loved it actually...he said, "Is that a boob top!? I love it!" I won't go into why he loves tube tops... lol
This lovely cardigan is from Forever21. When it comes to clothing, I really like purple for some reason. I have not received it yet, but I am hoping its satisfactory. I'll probably do an update later and include more feedback and perhaps pictures of me wearing the clothes.


I don't know why, but I have been pretty obsessed with long vests and cardigans lately. I just got a long gray vest (picture below).

It's from Stylesforless and it's pretty cute. The long striped vest in the other picture was from Charlotte Russe. It's different and I really like it. The tank is also from Charlotte Russe, and it goes effortlessly with this vest. The tank top is a more vibrant deep pink than shown in the picture (well depending on your monitor...I just looked on my boyfriend's computer and it looks like extremely bright! yikes). I don't usually buy simple tank tops online, because you can find them so easily in stores, but Charlotte Russe was having a sale called, "buy 3 tops get free shipping." I only had two tops in my bag at the time, so I thought about it, and I mean it didn't make sense to pay 6 bucks for shipping when I could find a third shirt for that price. Shipping or shirt? I would rather have an extra shirt and not pay shipping. lol. It was a no brainer.

This is the other top I from Charlotte Russe. The color, again, is much more vibrant in person. The material feels very nice and I do like it a lot. It has an interesting crochet design on the top, and I don't normally get tops like this, so it's something different from the norm.

This really bites. Okay so... I had this Macy's gift card that I used to buy a dress a while back. After that there was still ten dollars left on the card. So I was browsing the clearance section of Macy's online store and I came across this yellow vest. I thought it was kind of cool and the price went from like $50 to $9.99 so I ordered it...what else was I going to find at Macy's for ten bucks anyway? I got this the other day and well I was not too impressed with it. I would like it a lot better if the color was a light yellow like I had hoped. It's a really awkward yellow and I am not too fond of it. I don't really care for the material either...it is sort of old ladyish.The buttons and the top of the back also have this strange rainbow pattern. I don't know if I will be wearing it anytime soon, but it's not worth returning it.
Here are a few of the things I'm still waiting on in the mail. I'll update later on each of them and let you know what I think. Fingers crossed that they meet expectations. I at least hope the black cropped cardigan works out because I've been wanting something like that for a while now for my dresses.

These are some pieces I have had my eye on, but I don't think I will be buying them. I really have to stop buying everything just because I like it! I have to tell myself that I don't need everything.. some things are just for looking at. The purple dress I almost bought, but then I decided against it. I wasn't sure it would look that good on me anyway. The lighter color tube top is adorable tho, and I think I would have bought it if it wasn't sold out already. It has a really pretty floral embroidery if you look at it closer.

The tie back is very feminine and I love the color as well. But sold out in my size...sad face :(
But it's from Stylesforless if you want it and wear a small. They have some cute things!

This...I just like it for some reason. Not sure if I'll end up buying it?
I had been wanting to try this for a while, so I finally snuck over to the makeup department at Walmart and snatched it when my boyfriend wasn't looking. Lol...he was so happy about that.... hahaha. It's a good product, but not as great as I expected. I might actually like my Neutrogena version more, although this is good because it's waterproof. Love the colors though. Speaking of colors... I just ordered some By Lauren Luke makeup kits! I was anticipating the release back in April, but never got around to buying them until just yesterday. I got the My Smokey Classics and My Vintage Glams. I cannot wait to try them out! I will most certainly be updating about that in the near future, well whenever I get them.

I got a wii!!! For FREE! omg it's awesome! Yep. It came with a wiimote, nunchuk, and wii sports. Then my boyfriend and I went to Hastings and picked up some games. He had a 20% off coupon and Hastings was having a buy "two used games get the third for $1 dollar" sale. I ended up getting mariokart w/ the wheel, super paper mario, and wii play that came with another wii mote, and another nunchuk...my boyfriend also got a couple 360 games...all for a lot less then it would normally be!
