So.. I'm kind of over Forever 21 and I'm not really seeing anything on Express atm. What are some of your favorite places to shop? Websites please! I'm trying to find a cute new outfit for our picture Sunday! TIA!

Edit: I'm also on the hunt for some warmer winter clothes too!

    I actually just had great luck at Express, but sometimes they're hit or miss for me. They have a zillion sweaters right now that I snatched up. I'm also big on The Limited, they have a huge 40% off everything sale right now.

    I'm a big fan of JCrew and Banana Republic. JCrew has a factory outlet store online also (Clicky)  I feel like I'm too old to shop at "fun" stores anymore (American Eagle, Forever 21 but I still get some faddish things from them).  I'm in such a clothes rut... I like to think I have good style, but I lack the funds to have the wardrobe I want!! I like Anne Taylor Loft for dressier things.  (I put the links in the names)

    What kind of a feel are you going for with your pics?


    Did you ever find your wedding shoes?

    Oh!! I'm almost embarrassed to admit this, but I HATE jeans shopping, but all of mine currently are "too long" which means I have to dress up and wear boots with them. I needed a more casual pair for work that I can wear with sneaks. So after shopping for days, I popped into AE and found a phenomenal pair that I love!! Have them on right now in fact. Ha!

    ETA: Oh but I'm only on F21 for accessories and sometimes one super trendy piece. But not my regular stuff, I'm too oldass.

    Thanks ladies. I'll definitely check them out. I'm really starting to feel to old for AE and Hollister and such now. Forever 21 I can usually find a nice dress or two, and normally a cheap sweater. But.. I had no luck today.

    Still haven't found my wedding shoes yet Sami, thanks for asking.

    As for a look - I don't know. Lol. I just want to feel pretty. We're planning on going to the beach, finding some old oak tree's and huge open field. Nothing fancy, I'm wanting to do a dress for one (which I think I got today.. maybe) and jeans and a nice shirt for another.

    You ladies rock.

    I don't really have specifics. I'm pretty open. If I can do them in color, I'd like to. Something not to closed off, but not strappy. I'd like a medium heel, nothing too tall. About 3' would work. If its white, itd need to be ivory. Or it can be a medium coral pink.

    Oh I completely forgot about Polo. I tend to be on the country side of clothing. I like lacey, florals, solids, comfort, and sweaters. I love cardigans and warm semi fitted sweaters.

    are you getting married outside? (No stilletos)

    I think I know from Pinterest about kind of the style of your wedding (Country Chic-ish, kind of rustic, lots of mason jars, Lace) right?

    I know right? She totes makes me want to get married again.  I already told H that I want a PPD (I have a typical overbearing mom who totally took over my wedding) and he was like "Umm.. can we get a mattress first? after that, sure whatever, but we at least need a mattress" Love that man.

    Sorry - My computer is being super slow. If I really love them, it might be worth it. I don't think I can justify spending over $200 on shoes though. Just me. I can be pretty frugal.

    Aww thanks Sami :) I'm just down to earth. Luckly my mom doesn't really care and is more or less like whatever I want and FMIL isn't involved. So it works. I can do it my way and have fun!
