Fall Clothing Haul

I fell off the blogging train for a while and I'm barely getting back on! I did some shopping the past few weeks for my Fall wardrobe. I ended up buying a little more than what I will be showing below, but I just didn't have time to take the pictures of the items.

Let's start off with Forever 21!

I was in need of a simple large waist belt to go with my high-low dresses I got from Marshall's to help give the dress a bit more shape. The style is so simple. I did however pay a hefty price tag of $8.80 only to find out after I placed my order the next day they put a very similar style for $5.50. I think 8 bucks is plain rip off for a plain belt, but I looked for a few weeks for something similar in stores such as Fashion Q and other little Korean boutiques around the area. All were either too ugly or too expensive haha. I also got a pair of cheap sunglasses for myself because I didn't want to invest a seasonal piece so for $3.99 it was not bad. I stocked up on some plain $2.80 tank tops for wearing layering or lounging at home. As you can tell I got a pair of jeans as well from their $10.80 line. I was skeptical about these pants and in my opinion, they are just OK. The material is not denim that is for sure, but it probably has a small percentage of it. I bought these because they were great for wearing with boots and sweaters. I hate thick jeans in my boots haha. For $10.80 it's not bad, but at this point I'm not sure if I will repurchase them. Although I must add that the inseam is 29in and it's PERFECT for me (I'm about 5/2).

In addition to more simple tops, I got four of the 3/4 sleeve tops that has the rouching on the top for $6.80. I LOVE these tops so much. They are so simple and can be dressed up or down. I wear them to work all the time with some black slacks and call it a day. I was beyond excited to have found this. Out of impulse I bought the mint and black shirt with lace detailing for $10.80. The fit is very loose on me and to be honest it's not worth $10.80 because I know when I wash it I have to be extra careful  or else it will shrink. Lastly from Forever 21, I bought the simple grey dress for $8.80 and love this. It's so perfect for wearing on the weekends and even to work with a cardigan on top and a tiny belt to cinch it. So happy it was super cheap.

I needed new shoes for work and I can't wear those shoes from Love D, Qupid, Charlotte Russe, etc even though they are cute. The fit and quality is really bad for my feet and it's just not practical for me. I made an order with Talbots for the shoes below.

Yes the top two shoes are a bit grandma-ish,  but let's be honest in a professional environment when you are walking around a lot (including up and down stairs) you need to be practical. The shoes are made of genuine leather and all retail for over 150, but I waited for them to go on super sale and managed to get them for 30 each. I love the quality of these shoes so much, but since two of them are patent leather the up keeping is going to be a pain in the arse.

I got also two pairs of black slacks from Express during their Labor Day sale, but I'm sure you all can picture what they look like haha. I did get two more pairs of shoes from a new website, Sole Society, and will be doing a separate post on them soon. I also have a lot more hauls and reviews planned so stay tuned. Thanks!
