One day just wasn't enough so I met up with Christine and Lydia again on Saturday because Coco's of Madison was closing and everything was $5 (they still have another location though!) I walked out with a cute beachy skirt, 2 blue sweaters (one cardigan, one pullover) and an alligator belt: $22...SCORE. After that we went to Guilford to check out another store and then had lunch and took our outfit photos. Then we were going to go to TJ Maxx but Lydia went to a different one than Christine and I so our day was cut short, ha ha. At TJ Maxx I picked up a DKNY wallet because I've been on the hunt for a new one for quite some time. I had a gift card so I only paid $11 out of pocket! Here is a similar one, mine is pink and it is a trifold with a snap closure.
Since I knew we were going to be shopping all day I decided to go for a more low-key look. I thought it was a bit weird to pair it with my Chanel, but at least I wasn't wearing a Juicy velour tracksuit with it like another woman we saw. I had a blazer on ealrier in the day but it got hot (YAY!) Sorry for the photo-overload! You know me...I can never decide!

Last Friday Christine, Lydia and I went out for pizza at Modern Apizza in New Haven. Of course we had to take outfit photos before eating, a fashion blogger must. We found a great spot on the green for photos, but unfortunately there was a frightening woman who kept talking to us while we were taking photos so I was a bit awkward. After we ate (I had half a garlic bread and half a small pizza and the other ladies shared a pizza...ha ha) we decided to do a bit of shopping. We stopped at Urban Outfitters where I picked up a cute midi ring and "M" earrings. I also wanted to buy this shirt (or the tank top version,) but it was still too expensive even on clearance, so I'll wait. Lydia got the same ring in gold and Christine got the same earrings (but C's of course,) yay for twins! To end the night we got some delicious ice cream and then headed home. Another great evening!

It's leather jacket season again, woohoo! So excited to be bringing out my Theyskens' Theory jacket again, it was one of my favorite purchases/steals of last year (only $170 instead of over $1000!) I wore this outfit to go to the mall with my friends. These floral jeans are a lot more versatile than I thought they would be. I think it's because they are just different shades of blue rather than adding other colors into the mix, I can just use them as a neutral.

This outfit brings me back to my childhood. Back in the 90s EVERYONE had a crazy colored/patterned windbreaker. I think I was drawn to this jacket at Target because it reminded me of being young again. I decided to style this outfit for "now." I paired it with skinny jeans, pointy pumps and some matching accessories. I'm not usually one to be so matchy-matchy (or maybe I am) but I really like how all the colors go together in this look. The weather was AMAZING this day, nice and warm, all I can say is: FINALLY!
I wore this to go out to lunch with my roommate last Friday. I didn't need all of the junk I usually have in my purse, so I used my new JavoEdge City Pouch (I still carried my purse with my camera and left it in the car.) It is specifically made so it fits an iPhone along with other necessities. There is space for 8 cards, cash, your keys, phone and maybe a lipstick. This makes it perfect for going out with your girlfriends. It also comes with a strap so you can just throw it over your shoulder and not worry about losing it. They make these for iPhones, iPads, Kindles, Androids and much more, make sure to check it out!

Breaking news: I didn't wear a coat 3 days this week! That's right...it's getting warmer! I was able to sneak by without a coat from Tues-Thurs by wearing an extra sweater for my walk and then talking it off at the office (Wednesday I didn't even need that.) Hopefully it stays nice for my long weekend, I have today off and I'm taking Monday off to get some rest. It's also Easter this Sunday, so I'll be with my Mom's side of the family. But I see them almost every Sunday anyway so that's not really a big deal.
On Wednesday I went to a Madewell Shop into Spring event with some friends from work. Unfortunately I didn't buy anything. But I had good reason - I bought a new Macbook Pro on Tuesday! Woo! I got a refurbished 17in (because they don't make it anymore and I love the bigger screen) because my current Mac is getting old and slow (I also need more space, it only has 150GB of space, my new one will have 750.) I've been putting it off for far too long and I figured now was the time because who knows when they will run out of refurbished 17 inch models. I can't wait for it to arrive, I love shiny new objects. ;)
UPDATE: Many of us in the Potter world (and general movie/tv/theatre lovers) learned this morning that Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter) has passed away. He was an amazing actor and will be missed. RIP Richard Griffiths.

I went a bit print/texture happy in this outfit. Snakeskin x 2 plus leopard print = Megan is crazy. Normally when I wear these jeans I sport flats, but I decided I wanted to look super tall at work and threw on my Miu Mius. I know platforms are going on their way out, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop wearing these babies! I searched too long and hard to find them, so I'm going to enjoy them.

I've gotten a lot of new pieces in my closet lately (shame on me) so I thought I'd do a little roundup since you haven't seen all of them yet. I seem to go through phases where I'm really good and don't buy anything, but then all at once I go crazy. At least none of this was super expensive (except a bathing suit that I had to return, so that doesn't count.) Here we go:
New Fair Trade bracelets from Ten Thousand Villages. I loved them so much I bought more online.
Here are various purchases from Coco's of Madison's $10 sale (as well as a denim skirt from Christine)
You've seen these a couple times already but I thought I'd share them again. My Dolce & Gabbana heels: LOVE! Bought at Uptown Consignment for a steal.
My brand new watch by Skagen (via RueLaLa), for those times when I don't want to wear my oversized Michael Kors watch. It's a nice change but I find it harder to see what time it is. I've been spoiled by the big watch face. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find this exact model available online anywhere so I can't tell you where to get it!
And my two most recent pieces, both from Target. A fun windbreaker, and reversible jeans!
