After this post I’m officially caught up on attire (I apologize to all my male followers that don’t really care how I assemble my outfits). Good thing I went shopping today for more clothes!

Peplum My Step

One trend I’m starting to fall in love with is the peplum top. I found one at H&M on clearance for $15 and had to try it out. I’ve only worn mine a couple of times and I really like it. However, I think I need to hem it just a bit as it’s border-line maternity top at its current length. (And no Mom, I’m still not pregnant.)

…In With The New!

If you haven’t noticed, I’m a wee bit obsessed with outlet malls…especially J. Crew Factory. When my KISA’s brother was in town he wanted to spend a considerable amount of time shopping. Well, twist my arm and call my Fred – I gave the man what he wanted! Here are some of my new additions mashed up with my wardrobe.
