Shopping Trip Chic - Keeping It Simple


I wore this outfit a few weeks ago when Aren and I went out shopping. I know! I broke my own rule and went shopping with a friend (husband). That's not really the truth though because I went out alone and then Aren and his brother met up with me later so we could go out for dinner.
 I always like to see what kinds of sales/new arrivals are waiting for me after I've been away for a while. I wasn't disappointed! You have already seen most of my new purchases including my new Sam Edelman shoes and a Free People Sweater. This same trip I also bought cargo pants, Naughty Monkey purple shoes, two jackets, a Free People dress (I love this brand!), an Obey tank top, a G-Star Raw blouse, Gentle Fawn vest and a blazer. I also bought a couple of funky bracelets and some summer shorts.
Some stuff was sale and some regular priced - all of it was (is) amazing.
Note: I did not really ride the bike in heels.
I like to keep my clothes simple when I am shopping so that they don't deter me from trying something on.
Do you ever wear something difficult to get in/out of in order to keep yourself from trying on new clothes at the store?

  5. I love your shoes here! And I have a rule about shopping with others, which is: don't do it. It completely messes with me and I always feel rushed.

    It sounds like you made off like a bandit; I can wait to see all of your new wardrobe additions. I hear really good things about G-Star jeans, but they don't carry that brand here.

    I really only love clothes shopping in the summer because you can just throw on a dress and some flats and voila, you're good to go!

    Thank you for your bronzer suggestion; I hear Dr. Hauschka's products are like magic:D xx
