So I've been trying to find work clothes, holiday clothes and just general cute clothes and while I've tried on A LOT I'm not sure I've actually found a lot.
That's not even all of it! I mostly hit up my mainstays: TK Maxx and HM but I did look around in the Oasis and Warehouse sales, too. I'm in love with the swallow themed dresses and tank tops at HM-- I love old school swallow tattoos so they are totally up my street. The tank is a bit see-through though so I'll need to layer it over a white tank.
I like the idea of the tie dye maxi dress for my holiday but umm doesn't it look like there is a target right at my cootch? The stripey short dress I am going to use as a pool cover-up and while I love the pink and blue Cynthia Rowley dress it just was that little bit too tight on my butt to work in real life.
I had high hopes for a turquoise Jessica Simpson dress but for someone with big boobs she sure as hell didn't design something flattering on a bigger bust. You can see it hanging up in the lower right; it looked so amazing on the hanger but just did not actually work on me.
I guess it just goes to show that some things will look amazing on the hanger and shite on and others look not so hot on the hanger but great on you. How do you go about picked out things to try on when you go shopping? Any tips or tricks for finding hidden gems?
Just to be fair here is something I actually wore to my meeting on Monday. I had a fairly important presentation to give so I went with something I felt comfortable and confidant in:
My good friends and team Cybher crew Siรขn and Claire helped me prep for my meeting so I wore our bracelet so they'd be there with me, too!
Also just for good measure here is Blondie Boy showing off his new Cincinnati Reds hat his Papa John got him! I'm pretty sure he is the cutest Cincinnati fan in Scotland :)

you look so smarty pants! love the print shoes with the dress, it shows a bit of your fab personality! And yeh i tend to stick with the same shops, same cuts of dresses. All the above look great on you, i like your hair up in the two pic's too! :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I love the brown dress & tights!
ReplyDeleteWow, sound like you are busy, France...lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI do love windowshopping and usually end up trying on as well, who can blame us right!
Thanks for hosting the link up :)
I like to go shopping with my hubby, b/c the things he'll want me to try on are always interesting and different from what I would normally go for. And sometimes, he'll be surprised by something I'll pick out! We have fun shopping together :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed, the tie-dyed TARGET look is one that might make a trigger finger itchy. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like goog fun trying things on,they all look great :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfits, I particularly love the bottom right pink and navy combo. Your outfit for the meeting was just right and the shoes added the perfect touch and Blondie Boy, well he is just super cute as always. x
ReplyDeleteI've been going shopping so much too! And I've been mainly looking at dresses and skirts. Do you shop at Nordstrom Rack? They're my fave next to Marshall's and TJ Maxx. And I agree about the tie-dyed target maxi - bad idea!

thanks for hosting
ReplyDeleteYou know what! I actually love the blue stripes on you in the first pic!
ReplyDeleteSo many great links already today!!!
ReplyDeleteI love those leopard heels! I need to suck it up and buy some cute shoes some day. All these browns and blacks are so blah. I'm finally getting some color in my tops and dresses - now it's time to hit up the shoes!
ReplyDeleteLove the pics of your little guy! Good luck with the shopping. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the Cynthia Rowley dress you tried on! I'm loving colorblocking!
ReplyDeleteWell, hello there. *waving* I haven't been here in a little while and thought I would hop on over to join the party. Everybody looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks you haven't been able to find any cute outfits. It's hit or miss with me and clothes but I'm bad and don't try on things at the store, I usually take them home and try them
ReplyDeleteon and bring back what doesn't work (they joys of shopping with 3 kids). And Blondie Boy is such a cutie.
I love that pink & blue color blocked number you're wearing on the bottom left! And besides the crotch target, I actually really dig the tie dyed maxi.
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday!!!!
