This shirt, you guys, is the shirt that I need in every style and every color. It's the perfect tee. No joke. I not only bought it in striped gray & white, but I also bought three of the black crew neck t-shirt version to take with me to Basic Training. I've never worn a more comfortable or versatile t-shirt. Oh, and the shirts run a bit small (they have a "compression" fit), and I'm wearing a medium if you need a reference to size/fit. Plus, Gap is having a 20% off sale right now, so don't miss that.

The fleur de lis necklace I'm wearing is art turned into jewelry by the amazing StarrJoy on Etsy. Starr is an artist who recently began transforming her paintings & art into jewelry—and some amazing jewelry with incredible, feminine designs—I might add. I was torn between this rose print, this leopard print and the fleur de lis, but the fleur de lis reminded me of my sister so that was the winning ticket.

Last but not least, Vera Bradley is having some major sales right now, and the purse I'm wearing, the Little Flap Hipster in Canterberry Cobalt, is on sale for half off! I think they're discontinuing the style, so if you want a small crossbody that holds a wallet (I use this one), phone, keys, gum, chapstick, pens, checkbook, etc.—this is the one to get!! Plus, they have 23 different colors to choose from, so there's a pattern for everyone. Oh, and I'm not making any money or affiliate change for telling you about my favorite VB bags, so take it from me... they're the best!

Well that's enough from me today. I could go on and on about my shirt, necklace and purse... so the least you should do to help me celebrate my half birthday (Why not, right? Happy Half B-day to me—still in my golden year of being 27 on the 27th!) is go check them out & score some good deals!

PURPLE! Seriously that shirt looks fantastic on you! And it looks fantastic against that bright wall! And the necklace! Guess you're not the only one who could go on and on!


Happy half birthday pretty lady!

Aunie said...

I have a few shirts like that from Old Navy. They are so comfy and fit perfectly! I also just bought those shoes you're wearing :)

Aunie said...

Thanks lady! I definitely didn't even realize it until I was writing my closing, so I figured, "Eh, may as well throw that in there!" :)

Aunie said...

Thanks Laura!! And would you believe it, it's actually gray and white. I'm not sure if the turquoise of the wood stacks made it look more lavender, but it's definitely gray. Although, now that you mention it--it does go quite well with that matching purple & silver necklace! :)

Aunie said...

Yep! I was just at Old Navy the other day picking up a pair of flip flops (can't beat $3) and noticed that their shirts were really similar to Gap's. I just love those two stores... they make awesome & super affordable clothing.

You bought the Vans?! WOOHOO! Same color, too?? I LOVE mine. I wear them all the time. Those & my converse. They're staples!

Aunie said...

cute, casual look! I have been eyeing VANS...I'm not sure a 32 yr old mom can get away with wearing them, though. I mean, I don't wear mom jeans...I don't think...but I just remember them from Junior High! I need some comfy shoes, though. Dilemma, Dilemma.

Aunie said...

I am not usually a Vera Bradley kind of girl, but i LOVE LOVE this bag! Thinking of you love!

Aunie said...

I love Gap tees, they're so comfy!

Aunie said...

I love the entire outfit.

Aunie said...

Haha, I think that if you are comfortable in them, then it doesn't matter WHAT age you are! Rock 'em! :)

Aunie said...

Thanks Colleen!!! I know... sometimes the patterns & styles are too out there for me, but this one doesn't look as "quilted" as the others :)

Aunie said...

Ooh thank you!! You and I speak the same language.

Aunie said...

Me too... I'm convinced that I could shuck the rest of my closet and just fill it with these from now on. Oh, and my Nikibiki's too, of course :)

Aunie said...

Yes! I love that the gray goes with everything. I have a coral pair. I'm determined to get Vans in every color:)

Aunie said...

Oh coral... those ones are AWESOME. I would love a pair of coral ones. And leopard. But hey, that's a whole different story.

Aunie said...

As always, super cute, and I love love love that pendant!

Aunie said...

Nice and simple! Cute. :)
