Outfit of the day 12-14-12

Even though it's well into December, it's still been in the 40s where I am living now. I used to live in upstate NY so this is just crazy to me and a lot of days I'm just running around in a warm sweater. This is the outfit I had on the other day that I happen to love - - -

 

1 - Sweater from Old Navy last found here: Fair Isle-Stripe Cardigan. I've seen this sweater in two patterns with two colors each (so four in total) and I currently own three. That's how much I love it! Right now they are 40% off making them $29 and the last one I bought I also had a $10 coupon. I love it when that happens! I am 5'6, around 115 lbs and normally with sweaters I size up, sometimes way up, because I like them loose and comfy but this one was made with that in mind so I purchased all of them in size small.

2 - Necklace from Forever21. I've had this for about six months which, in Forver21 time, is about two years lol They never keep anything in stock for very long but you could easily walk into any F21 or Charlotte Russe store and find something similar for a good price. This piece probably only cost me about $15, if that.

3 - Jeans From Forever21 last found here: Stretch Skinny Jeans in Grey. I used to wear a lot of designer jeans but honestly, my style changes so often that I just ended up wasting so much money. I have still hung on to some of them but my best go-to jeans  are the ones that cost less than $15. I like jeans that are stretchy and not made of thick denim and these are the kinds I usually find at F21, Charlotte Russe or Papaya. These bad boys were less than $11 and I like that they are a cool grey color because they match absolutely everything.

4 - TOMS purchased from Sports Authority at a local mall but you can find them here: TOMS Indo Women's Vegan Classics for $53 which is what I paid for them also. These are my first pair because honestly I thought they were overrated but once I discovered all the crazy colors and patterns, I am now slightly obsessed. (As you can tell from the store choice, my bf was shopping for sneakers and I happened to see these on a table and was immediately drawn to them lol). It's hard to speak to sizing; the ones I bought are 8.5 but when I tried on the 8.5 in plain canvas, they were way too small and upon holding them up and comparing them, I think they would be more like a 9.5 in the plain canvas ones. Kind of confusing and frustrating since there are designs I want to order but now I have no idea what size I would be!



Here's a closer picture of them - - -
