I have just finished my first semester at the university and OMG was it stressful. The presentations, reports, exams, it's enough to make your head spin...and it did make my head spin. But tomorrow is the last day for a while so I thought I'd get caught up.
So what have I been up to? Well my self-imposed August shopping ban went swimmingly however I did go overboard afterward (making up for lost time?). Since then I've been more budget conscious. I've been trying to find things that will work for dinners out as well as work functions. And I've been branching out.
Here's what I've come up with:
American Eagle jeans are awesome. I can't stress this enough. I am particularly fond of the Skinny, Slim Boot, and Artist jeans. I own a couple of each because they are unbelievably inexpensive!
J Crew puts things on sale very fast these days. I've learned to wait a couple of weeks to pick up a new item because chances are it will be 25% off with promotion or marked down. Here's a roundup of my recent purchases:

Plus many others way below original price. Frankly, I'd be mad if I bought a few of my recent purchases at full price. The Traversa cardigan is super cute but after one wear has pilled all over! And my Whisper Ruffle sweater already has a hole on the sleeve (not on the seam of course). I purchased that one at $39.99 and it's now down to $20 in-store. Hmph.
I also purchased a few tees in the factory section and found the quality to be quite comparable to regular J Crew. At $13 instead of $25, I'm happy!
