Fab Found...Marshall's


Hearts Top $14.99 from $30 ( I paired this with pants for a more causal look, however did try it with a high waisted black skirt for a more formal/business attire look)
Paige Pants
Necklace made by me
Ultra Pink Dress $19.99 from $40 ( this would be perfect for a birthday, baby shower, wedding attendee, graduation ceremony, reminds me of Kate Middleton) Side note; super staticky and it's 100% polyester :(
Talbot Pumps
From previous shopping trip...seen here
Theory Dress Pants (returned)

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. My first trip to Marshall's proved fruitless. However a week later with the stock replenished we happily left with pieces for myself and other half along with Christmas gifts(yes we shop early! Can't help a bargain!).
This trip yielded J Brand jeggings aplenty. If not for the vast amount I have already I would have picked up 2 more. The sale price was $69.99, when Aritzia sells them for $200 +. Sadly I went back a week later and couldn't find one. Small sizes go fast...
This week's trip I returned the Theory pants and picked up the dress and top modelled above(found in the teen section in the back of the store). While I've never heard of the brands, I figured the price was right and with the right occasion they would be perfect. 
Seems like Marshall's is the only place I find designer brands, but it's like Winners...If you can handle going through the racks you'll find a gem.
One thing I do like about this location is that it's clean, well currently. Winners I find it's like a tornado has passed through...

In Action...

What does one wear to an Asian 1 month baby dinner?
At first I was going to wear a dress, as those events are like Asian weddings with their 7 + course meals and everyone is dressed to the 9's ...
But because of the lousy weather I opted for pants...

Zara Blazer as seen on Duchess of Cambridge (now available in fuchsia)
Theory Blouse (outlet find, similar)
Aritzia trousers (sale find, similar)
Aritzia Coat(not seen, black floor length)

Loving Now...Karen Marie Moning

It's Official...I'm addicted to Karen Marie Moning's The Highlander Series...

Of course I had to continue with the series...

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. Romance, Rated R, and Comedy! My kinda books! Highly recommend!!!
I found myself laughing out loud, crying and addicted to the point I spent the full day reading and only stopping to use the necessities! Trust...it was still hard to put down the books...
If you can steal away and read at least one you will not be disappointed!
