Hi all! Happy Friday! I've been wanting to start Fashioned Fridays for YEARS now and am finally getting around to it. Let's just say moving, getting married, baby, moving (again), taking care of baby have all taken priority... :)
I've always been a fan of Forever 21 because they cater to so many schools of style and the different styles are integrated into the store so while you may not like the Boho or Rocker look, they sit next to items that you do like and could potentially pair well together (suggestive selling FTW!). My style varies between casual to sporty to feminine to on-trend. Lately, I've been drawn to the feminine blouses that have come out for the Spring! You can pair these pieces with just about anything... pencil skirts for a work look, jeans (skinny, boyfriend, cropped...), slacks... the list goes on...
Here are some of my favorites...I've purchased the first and the last blouses on the list... LOVING the color of the first one. I'm not normally into lace, but I was drawn to the last blouse on this list. It screams Spring! What have you purchased lately?
Here are some of my favorites from Old Navy too... Baby Girl Edition! I know most of the East Coast is BURIED in snow but out here in CA, we're having some pretty fabulous weather! That totally inspired me to gather some items for my little one from Old Navy. She's almost 8 months old and up until now, I've been dressing her in onesies and leggings but since she's almost ready to crawl and walk and get mobile, I feel like its time to add some real clothes.... Now the fun and shopping really begin!

I recently stumbled upon an Iphone app that has changed the way I shop. Ever heard of Poshmark? You can sell your items (take up to 4 pictures, add fancy filters and a brief description) in one sitting! As a buyer, you can barter the price, trade or pay the price given. Most of the items are priced decently but I've been able to barter all the purchases I've made for lower prices! The app is user friendly and convenient in that posting isn't a chore (unless you really hate taking pictures... but who doesn't like Instagramming and Iphoneing these days!) and paying through the app is crystal clear. As a seller, the app takes 20% from your purchase and they send you a package to ship your items to the seller.
I can find awesome deals on mainstream brands like J. Crew, Banana Republic and Gap. People also sell high end items like Christian Louboutin, Gucci and Prada... I must warn you...once you try it, you might become hooked.

Happy shopping!
