This Week's Shopping Splurge

This week’s shopping splurge consisted of Forever 21, Harmon’s Discount, and a variety of drugstores.

I’m extremely excited to share with you my shopping splurge at Forever 21 for the cheap items of clothing and accessories that I picked up. Nothing can beat basic tanks that can be paired with any outfit for less than $3. Another unbelievably cheap pick up is the two skinny belts that cost me $3.50. What I couldn’t believe was the price of other skinny belts for just $1.50!

The only top that I picked up was a leopard print racer back dressy top that is extremely comfortable and sheer. This versatile top can be worn as a casual top as well as an outfit night out. My Forever 21 splurge mostly consisted of trouser-like pants which include the colors of gray, purple, and olive. My ultimate favorite of all bottoms is the olive loose fitted, high-waisted woven pants with front pleats.

Moving on, a must have for every household is the dryer balls. This is my second set of dryer balls because one popped on me, I decided to get a new set and have a backup ball. These dryer balls are used to soften the fabric without the need of fabric softeners and dryer sheets. It does not have a fragrance, but it does reduce the amount of chemical intakes to your clothing which is recommended for those with sensitive skin.

Saving the best for last, my drugstore makeup splurge consists of only mascaras. I couldn’t decide between the bunch, so I decided to just purchase them all! The mascaras that I picked up this week were Physician’s Formula Organic Wear Jumbo Lash Mascara, Maybelline The Colossal Volum Express Mascara, Maybelline Define a Lash Volume Mascara, and Covergirl Nature Luxe Mousse Mascara that has a sealed cap.

That is all for now, until my next splurge!

Semi-Shopping Splurge

This week mini shopping splurge consists of bottoms. For starters, white pants are a must have in every closet. This pair of fitted leg cuffed at the ankle was purchased at New York and Company. I definitely got a steal on this one, paying $15 for an originally priced $36.95 pair of pants just because I waited a week. I am ready to go back and pick up more, I just chose to buy one pair because I hate trying on clothes in store because I’m a germ-a-phobe.

Following is my little splurge at Forever 21, only because I didn’t have enough time to shop there which isn’t a bad thing because it saved my pocket. With autumn coming, a shade of darker colors is a must have. I picked up this rust color skinny ankle jeans, a great resemblance of falls leaves that I am excited to rock with a simple white tee and white sneakers. It is the perfect casual everyday look in fall.

Feeding off of my last shopping splurge, I picked up more red apparel because I was basically told that I should wear more red by a fortune teller. Superstitious? Very. Even though I am more or less “forced” to buy more red clothes, I was particularly attracted to this skirt for the bright color and simple yet sophisticated style.

Next off, I picked up two pairs of pajama boxers. Everyone knows I love short shorts! I wear them all year around, even in the freezing cold winter with no heat in the apartment. Although I am not a fan of the lace that doesn’t feel so great against my sensitive skin, the soft cotton material it is made out of is worth the mini surgery I will conduct to remove the lace.

Lastly, Victoria Secret undies are almost everyone’s favorite, even though the prices were upped another fifty cents, priced at 5 pairs for $25.50. The bikini undies are one of my favorite to sleep in and they are great for you, made out of cotton which reduces the chances of a yeast infection and such. I recommend always wearing more cotton underwear whenever possible. Although grannie pannies are not everyone’s favorite, it is worth it to switch it up every now and then for the sake of your health. Remember to change your set of undies every six months!

There you have it, my mini splurge of the week!
