Fashion Finds

Okay, so as many of you may know that on Tuesday I am going to NYC!! I am so beyond excited I can't stand it!! Since it is obviously colder there than it is here, I have been shopping for things to keep me warm while I'm there, and I would like to share my new fashion finds with you. I have been following the weather in NY, and it has been varying between the 30’s to the 50’s. Last week I went shopping with my sister, and since we both didn't have a lot of money, we went to less expensive stores looking for good deals. I find my inspiration on clothes and trends by photos on Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest so I was looking for clothes similar to some that I've seen other people wearing. We first went to Abercrombie (which definitely is NOT cheap. sigh) and I found the cutest jeans ever. I absolutely fell in love with them, but I didn't have enough money so I couldn't get them. :( We then went over to Urban Outfitters (which once again isn't cheap, but I'm in love with their clothes so I had to go to look at the sale section). I found the cutest tops and jeans, but I didn't know if I would wear them all the time so I decided not to buy them, I may have to go back though. After that we headed to Forever 21 because sometimes they actually have pretty cute things for a good price. We probably spent an hour in there raiding the racks of clothes looking for the decent pieces out of the tons of clothes they have there, and I left with boyfriend jeans, a black sweater, and navy blue knee high socks. I have been looking for the perfect pair of inexpensive boyfriend jeans for the longest time, but every time I found a pair I loved they were $80 or more, but these ones were only $27! I think that they are so cute, and I will definitely will be wearing them with everything I can. The black sweater that I found I also love because it has a different feel to it. It is very soft and comfortable, but it looks like something out of Clueless or Sex and The City, which I absolutely adore. The 80s fashion I think is so cute, I just have no idea where to shop to buy clothes like that, and I don't really think I can pull it off, but whatever. Then the socks are just plain, but I am obsessed with navy blue, and they match one of my scarves perfectly, so I just had to buy them. But, three things obviously isn't enough to get me through my five days in the Big Apple, so I am hoping that this weekend I can go shopping again, and maybe thrifting to get some new clothes! One of my favorite used clothing clothing stores is Buffalo Exchange. It has previously owned, usually designer or top brand, clothes for cheap! The last time I went, I bought a pair of Jeffery Campbells for only $35! The store is kind of a mess, but if you look long and hard enough you will definitely get some cute finds, if there's one near you I definitely recommend you to go! There are also some great thriftshops in the Valley or LA around me, so you should go there too if you're into that sort of thing! Right now, Top Shop also has adorable clothes so if you have the money and time to go shopping, go! There are such great jackets, sweaters, jeans (amazing high-waisted jeans), and really anything you could imagine. Their shoes and accessories are really cute too!

Here's one outfit that I am thinking of taking with me, the sweater is the one I bought at Forever 21, and everything else is either from Urban Outfitters or Nordstroms. :)

 I will update you guys on what I buy and wear this next week in New York, but also throughout the winter. I hope you are enjoying reading this as much as I am enjoying writing these pieces. :)
