OUTFIT POST: SHADES OF RED

September 24, 2012




















































































( Jacket: Forever 21  Shirt: Necessary clothing  Pants:  H&M   Boots: Macy's  Bag: Forever 21  
Jewelry:  Necklace-H&M, bracelets- Lucky Brand  Watch- Stop in Venice )

I've noticed lately that I tend to wear a lot of Forever 21 and H&M. I realized its like a challenge, styling on a budget. I love finding good deals and I love trying to make an outfit look like it wasn't bought at these stores. When I found this red jacket at Forever 21, I instantly was obsessed. It was also the last one, without a tag, and only in a small (which isn't my size in jackets). So the fact that it fit me and was in my hands, meant it was a true match. 

Saturday my boyfriend and I scrolled around Forest Hills in Queens. I've always loved that area. It's nice being away from the bustling city for a couple of hours, plus I'm a sucker for cobble stone roads. 

Anyway, I'm almost at 300 followers! which is beyond exciting. I never expected to get this much support and I am grateful for everyone who reads and follows. Plus it's coming close to being a year so thank you all!

    Love the cropped jacket. Red and black is a favorite color combo of mine.

    Styling on a budget is right! And you are so good at it! I can't believe that jacket is F21! I love it, and I really love it over the burgundy top! This outfit is gorgeous!
