Hat's off an #ootd

Hat & Boots, Forever 21; Sweater, H&M; Pants, Loft

Before I got majorly sick this was a cute little outfit I wore to uni. Really happy with my hat purchase from Forever 21. I also saw a cute navy one at Aldo and I'm not going to lie, I was very tempted.

The release of the CPL has changed the holiday season for me. I'm not huge on all the fall Starbucks drinks, but all the winter drinks I love! If you haven't tried this drink...well do it. Keeping it casual with a sparkly top and a pleather jacket.

So while shopping for a few specific things on the weekend I hadn't realized that it's been a long time since I've been to a mall. This is due to the $damage$ I did in New York in May (read about it here). And while shopping, I graced a couple very sweet compliments. The lady at Aldo liked my top, A LOT, the lady at Sephora told me she loved my eyeliner and the woman working the the dugstore told me she liked my bold lip color...Uhm thank you kinda people who still exist in this world <33
It really is about the little things in life.

Anyhow, this is what I wore. How are you all doing?

Where are you going an #ootd

Wilfred Wool Hat, H&M Maxi Dress, XXI boots

I did a little shopping on the weekend because my amazing 2.5 year old Forever 21 booties had completely fallen apart. They were a suede-ish material and were basically the only shoes I used to wear. After coming to the realization that they were completely battered I went to Forever 21 and found these babies. (Post coming soon) Faux leather and heavenly.

This dress is lovely and long and there are 2 slits *oww owwww* ;) its so comfy and effortless and the hat is literally just decoration. I couldn't wear it the whole day because it was so HOT and my head was dying. But it added the extra shade of cool.

What do you think about maxis? Yay or nay?

ASOS Shirt Dress, XXI booties 

I found this ASOS shirt dress at Beacon's Closet in New York (an amazing designer-esque, discount thrift store). I bought it for a couple different reasons, uno being that I loved the color and deux being I've never owned anything from ASOS. But I must say, without high heeled shoes this outfit looks very incomplete. The size is in a small but it kinda fits strange. I was impulsive when I bought it that's for sure. As I was saying, with some booties this dress/thing looks great. It was somewhere between 18 and 21 dollars and I just didn't want to pass it up.

I'm actually tossing these shoes out at the end of summer because they are SO scuffed. Really, I could write a tragedy on how much these shoes were my night and day. I basically out wore them in 2 years, and i'm not much of a shoe lady, but I think 2 years for a pair of XXI shoes is pretty damn good. XXI booties are always comfy and the perfect height. I've owned a couple pairs before this one and they have all lasted a great amount of time. These boots were all that I wore, I need to expand my horizons this year. Maybe even invest!

Any brands you recommend for good boots like these that are going to last a while?
