Waiting in Anticipation.

Okay. So I'm absolutely hopeless! What do I do when I force myself to stay home and get some work done? Shop on Ebay...I promise myself I'll only look for 15 minutes...I mean I don't have the money to spend anyway! An hour later I've put in my bids for a few items. But when my new leopard print top and lace up wedge boots arrived today, I have to admit, I was pretty happy!

:)

Aqua and Pink Outfit

Today I felt beachy in my waterfall aqua blouse - made me think that I really do need a beach vacay!  But anyways, I digress - I paired my beachy blouse with a hot pink cardi and grey skirt.  I think what I was missing was a belt...oops.

Worn with my spanish flats - I have some major blisters on both my heels from a pair of jellys worn this past weekend.  Ug.  Will be finding backless shoes to wear all week.

Outfit details:

Aqua Waterfall blouse - Marshalls - $14!!

Hot pink cardi - J.Crew via Ebay

Skirt - Banana Republic last year on sale

Flats - DSW 5 years ago for my trip to Barcelona

Ebay Boots

I've been obsessed with boots lately... Tis' the season I guess. In the Midwest, we get lots of sleet, ice, wet icky stuff and it's already here. So in the winter, the footwear choice to keep dry and warm is boots. Boots, boots, boots.

I'm all about finding good deals - like my latest boots from Target that I'm LOVING. I like to buy boots at the end of the season from Banana Republic to get them on good sales, but we are just at the beginning of the season... so now I'm checking out Ebay...

Skirts, skirts and more skirts!

My favorite fall outfit is composed of skirts paired with tights! I am not a big jean person, but LOVE skirts....here are some I've recently got and some I really want...

I have, I love:

Cotton essential skirt
Banana Republic (XL left) or Ebay (S listed)
Endless possibilities with this versatile skirt! and the thick elastic waistband is really comfy!

Wool blend pleated skirt in Navy Plaid
Gap
I love this skirt. It sits a bit lower and comfortably on the hips with a wider waistband.
I think this will look cute with fuchsia or purpley tights!

Pleated striped skirt
Gap

This skirts sits a bit on the waist and is a A-Line cut. It's super easy to wear.
I think this would look so cute with an orange top and dark, charcoal grey tights!

I'm lusting after these skirts...

Shirred wool skirt in deep purple
JCrew
This already made my Fall Wish list, so I'll probably crack soon! :)

Full Denim Skirt
Ann Taylor Loft
Love the added subtle ruffle at the bottom - a unique and classy jean skirt.

What is your fall uniform or favorite?

It Arrived...And it's fabulous!

Ok, the long anticipated wait is over! Remember the JCrew bubble necklace I got on Ebay?

I have been super nervous waiting for it because of some of the other girls' issues with this seller and their jewelry they got, but 20 days later, my necklace arrived and it's gorgeous! Looks just like the picture.
I will update this post tonight with some IRL pics! Stay tuned....

Updated! Here are the IRL Pics of the Bubble Necklace:

Now it just needs to be worn...

Ebay Jackpot - J.Crew Bubble Necklace!

Remember this beautiful turquoise bubble necklace from early last spring??


Well, it was originally $150 and sold out fast, that's about all I remember. Since then, there have been some other equally as lovely and expensive colors, including the current one, a soft violet.

A HUGE thanks to Love Your Life and Your Look ~ TODAY and her post on the many bubble necklaces on Ebay - I scored it for way less than half the price. I have loved this necklace since I first saw it, and hope to put it to good use! I'll do an IRL post and quality review once I receive it. For now, check out the others up for bid (some with Free Shipping).
