Happy end of March!! I was successful with my now buying clothes/accessories this month! I did add a couple pieces thanks to a collaboration with Azaggi Jewelry. Let's see if I can continue my streak with a no spend April! I'm trying really hard to curb ALL my spending the next few months (except for a trip to Florida I've had planned and a quick New York City visit for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.) More info on why at a later date.

How is it already almost the end of March?! The beginning of the year has flown by so quickly! For this week's throwback I tried to go for a liiiittle bit more of a Springy look even though it was still chilly out. This dress is from the height of my Marc Jacobs obsession. I scored it for $27 on eBay and wore it to DEATH. Now it mostly sits in my closet because it's loosened a bit with age, ha ha.

The Original:

I'm not usually one to wear red but for I asked for this fun Everlane sweater for Christmas this year and decided to go with the red rather than black, white or green (I asked for a different Everlane sweater in green.) I love the wider sleeve and the rib detailing at the end of the sleeves, bottom and  neck. Small details like this make clothes look so expensive, don't you think? It also has a slight cropped fit which makes it totally different from any of my other sweaters. If you're going to go red, might as well go big too, right?

I wore this over the weekend to go shopping and out to lunch with my brother. I behaved and didn't buy anything, woo! It was still a little chilly but I wanted to add a bit of brightness to my outfit so I wore my bright green sweater under a cape for some Spring layering. I also wore these brighter blue skinny jeans instead of my darker washes. Not totally Spring, but we're getting there!

It's still chilly but I wanted to break my rut of wearing jeans everyday so I opted for these slightly flared velvet pants I've had for years. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start wearing dresses and skirts without freezing. Guess we'll see what Mother Nature has in store for us next week!

Colorblock Faux-Fur Vest: Romeo & Juliet Couture, Turtleneck: French Connection (Marshalls), Pants: Glo, Boots: No.704b.  (DSW), Sunglasses: Michael Kors (Marshalls), Bag: Emm Kuo 'Calle Bahia' (Roundabout)

This doesn't look like a first day of Spring outfit. Nevertheless it's what I wore on Tuesday for a couple quick errands and to get my free Rita's Italian Ice! Mmmm. Thanks to eBay you can still recreate this outfit even though it's 6 years old! I found the blazer, top and jeans available from different sellers.

The Original:

I hardly ever wear my blazers anymore so I decided to pull one out this past weekend for no reason at all. This is one of my favorites because of the print mixing, color and the added touches of velvet. Such an amazing piece and I scored it for $188 4 years ago! And, as luck would have it, I found one for $200 on eBay if you like it!
