Excellent week for shopping

Despite being pretty loyal to my shopping ban for like 2-3 months, Anthropologie just had to entice me with a 15% off birthday coupon. Madewell also enticed me, but that was just because I love Madewell!

So on the day before Halloween I went to the Anthro store in Pasadena to see what they had. They definitely have a smaller selection than the Glendale Anthro, but I still came away with three great deals. All were on sale, and all were 15% off on top of that. I got an Ella Moss dress (Shareen), a gorgeous Deletta top, and a Bordeaux top. The picture of the Bordeaux top does not do it justice, and I also got it in charcoal, not teal. It's such a simply sophisticated top for school, work, or going out for dinner. Best Anthro trip ever!

At Madewell, I got two boyfriend V-necks for $15 each (Originally $24 and $29 each!), a great pair of skinny jeans, and stirrup leggings. I bought black tights like an idiot from Urban, and since you can't wear that alone I decided that I needed to find some thick, comfy leggings. The fact that they're stirrup leggings added like a billion+ points to its amazingness factor, so I had to buy them. Also, Madewell's skinny jeans are the ONLY skinny jeans I like. I've tried everything: Hudson, Seven for All Mankind, Rich & Skinny, J Brand, Forever 21, Express, etc. Everyone elses are usually too tight, too low-rise, or just unflattering. Madewell makes even a normal sized girl like me look good (or so I think) in skinny jeans. Oh, and they give college students (with ID) a 15% discount. Woot.
