Coral! Coral!

You cannot even begin to fathom my excitement over my new hi low skirt!! The actual hi part was a decent length, the chiffon wasn't cheapy stuff, AAAAND THE COLOR!!
No se pueden ni empezar a imaginar mi emocion sobre mi nueva faldita alta baja!! Todo me encanto: la parte alta no tan alta, el chifon no tan corriente, y el color!! El coloor!!
Lauren Conrad for Kohl's $44 on sale 30% off PLUS my 30% off coupon.

The shadow polka dot top is the icing on the cake of my "sweet" look. I'm usually not the type of person that goes all out with the pretty and sweet and pastels. I will normally toughen it up, darken it up, bold it up. This time i caved.
La blusa de bolitas sombreada fue lo que hizo que quedara el outfit sweety a punto de turron. Normalmente no me pongo toda de pasteles ni claros ni frufri ni nada todo asi. Tipico que le avientas el elemento rudo, oscuro, vaya algun contraste. Pero esta vez cai.
Apt 9 top $28, 50% off, plus 30% off coupon. Kohl's.

Blame it on the Bangles

It was a busy weekend this past one. Despite the fact that I look forward to weekends just to stay home, I had a blast due to several (fashion) reasons.

We'll start with friday night's trip to the mailbox: there it was my little yellow padded envelope with the word "fragile" written in the unmistakeable penmanship. My two sets of bangles from mishshell came in. One set is black and gold (with my fave that has red), and the other the blue and silver (fave is the coin one that makes me sound like a walking tambourine!).

Along came saturday which I had no plans for when the hubby's like "let's hit up a bar". OBVIOUSLY it was the PERFECT excuse to wear my brand spanking new bangles. I opted for the black and gold set and added my Forever21 rose cuff. Pulled on my horse print shirt/jacket from Forever21 over a basic black tank and jeans. Grabbed my BCBGeneration python clutch from Little Black Bag, and pulled my hair up into a sock bun. READY!

Four hours later on Sunday morning, I'm up and getting ready for a bridal shower brunch. Pulled on a new Target xhilaration dress, threw my Forever21 blazer over it, added some dollhouse muted gold and cork heels and took the clutch from the night before. OF COURSE color palette called for the OTHER set of bangles from mishshell as well as my multistrand one, and my RJ Graziano wave cuff from Little Black Bag.
PHEW!

Monday back to work, back to normal schedule since Spring break is over and kiddo goes back to school. Being the first week of spring, I pulled out brights over brights over print. Printed skirt from Target, pink top from Old Navy, blue on blue clutch from Target, strappy orange and pink shoes from Newport News, and yes yes you guessed it the blue and silver set of bangles AGAIN!
BTW I'm wearing the black and gold set as I type. LOL!

Last but certainly NOT LEAST. I was finally able to stop by the post office to pick up my Little Black Bag of this month. In it: Steve Madden leather and fabric Bflorall envelope clutch ($118), and Robert Rose earrings ($10). Paid less than $50 for the whole bag/box and i did wait for the whole 7 days in case something else popped up in the gallery. HOWEVER, everyone wanted these two items! It was a constant 5 offers per hour for them. Sorry girls, no one offered anything worth giving up these babies for.

All right, creo que fue todo. Enjoy your first day of spring and don't let the allergies get to you!

XOXO,

Today I realized my purse cost me more than my entire outfit JAJAJAJA

Periwinkle cork platty wedges by Lauren Conrad for Kohl's: reg. 69.99, on sale for $41.99, with 30% off coupon=around $31. However RIGHT NOW they're even cheaper online 34.99 and LOOK FOR THOSE COUPON CODES (there should be a 20% off right now).

Handmade Top, ebay $8. Similar silk ponchos here. If you're a local, Sara's Boutique has something similar in stock.

So where's the purse?! Ajajajajaja oopsy I used my Melie Bianco coral Alyssa.

Tomorrow's post will be based around my Little Black Bag that I need to go pick up at usps. I cant wait to wear my goodies that are in that box.

Michael Kors Score!

Its been a while since the last post. Despite this not being an actual outfit post, I'm VERY excited about sharing.
This week I found at Marshall's an '07 silver tweed Michael Kors dress. Its very lady like with a 3/4 sleeve, and the length is so tea time darlin, but the collar just SCREAMS Jackie O, and well the silver keeps it from being so ho hum. I was able to find a pic although its in gold. Now the $$. The original price tag is on it $200. I paid $29 for from the clearance rack at Marshall's, BUT they only had sizes 10 and up. So now I shall head over to the tailor to get it a little fitted and hemmed to make it even LESS ho hum.
I shall keep you posted on the TOTAL price.

XOXO

Starting off March

Starting off March with a BANG! But you can with a pop, it's ok.

Random workday I think it was Thursday:
Forever21 (or 21 Por Vida like a friend calls it) purple and coral nightjacket from many posts before. I LOVE this jacket because I can mix n match it with so many things, prints, and colors. I'm having a harder time pulling off the same jacket in black with a pony print.
Coral pants from Gap "Broken In Khakis" from the new denim and color line.

Friday: (I'm on a mission to out color my weekly bank teller since HE's always rocking a bright dress shirt)
Forever21 blue blazer $29.80 (BTW if you sign up for their emails, you will get coupons. YES! Coupons for forever 21 it can get EVEN cheaper!).
Old Navy fuchsia top.

Saturday for my niece's birthday:
Forever 21 bright orange skinny jeans (WOOHOO THEY ACTUALLY FIT MY BOOTY!) $29.80
Floral bustier top Lauren Conrad for Kohl's.
Same nightjacket.
Chartreuse canvas and patent green clutch Target (was finally able to score the blue one thanks to the mom!).

As for the jewelry, I also posted it because it's also a pop of color!
I ordered these from mishshell.etsy.com
She makes he most beautiful and dainty jewelry and EXTREMELY affordable. AND GUESS WHAT? Yup she also has coupons! It took me about a month to decided on what pieces i wanted because I want all of them!
I ended up getting some earrings, a necklace, and a multi-strand bracelet with a hand-stamped letter. For sure I'll be wearing these tomorrow.

I know I've been slacking off and not posting daily, but thank goodness I've been pretty busy.
Facebook page is kind of up and running. I'm still trying to get a hang of the whole timeline and linking it to Twitter and back and forth. Addy is facebook.com/enelclosetdelachina
So drop by and give a thumbs up.

Have a wonderful and colorful week because Spring Break is almost here and well so is Spring! LOL
