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?

    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

    So cute on the bike! I have been wanting a bike like this, but my husband keeps trying to get me on serious road bikes. you know the kind, where you have to drive around with your bum way up in the air. Not fun. Anyway, you look lovely!
