stephanie the great: stephanie shops.

Today, after work, my mere took me to get "pants". She made the mistake, however, of taking me into a store with TONS of floral.

Needless to say, i stocked up on a lot of basic, outfit forming pieces. Here is most of what I got today (the rest we're buying tomorrow, so we get a 10% discount):

romantic, light beige scarf; lace and crochet.

second one's blurry but, this scarf is actually really warm plus one side is honey colored and the other is olive

I lalalove this scarf, even though its my mom's college professor's birthday.

Also, it has a lovely rose print.

i got these flats,

(which have this cool emblem on them) in silver

and teal.

This belt can go loosely over a plain tee paired with a flowy skirt for a casual look, or with white, rolled-up skinnies, a loose gray tank, and a blazer with a sharp, defined cut.

I've been working alot more recently and i badly needed a wallet, so this came at a wonderful time.

Also, I acquired a desk and glass container not too long ago with this precise design (which i love).

My mere wanted this belt so I humoured her. It's not really my style, but it hides shirt-tucked-in-to-skirt-bumps perfectly. Props, mom!

Classic Vintage late '80s chained shoulder clutch

with a whole bunch of

Anyways, I like it :)

I know you can barely see it; once i find an outfit to where it with (its a hair clip, by the way) ill take a picture of it in daylight.

I'm not quite sure what this is called, though I'm certain it has a name. Whatever, it looks absolutely darling with a bandeau (below) and a white lace skirt (below) with studded leggings (below), and white cowboy boots.

These work great for loose tank tops, strapless dresses, extra low-cut or gaping necklines. There were a whole bunch of different styles and patterns and colours.

It's too dark to really see but the skirt is an eggshell colour with off-white lace, the zipper down the front really does unzip the entire thing, and the strips of black with studs are actually pockets. I love when designers find ways to put in pockets without frumping up the clothing item. I have a sky blue dress with pockets like that, except they actually hold things (like my phone) and still look sleek. The enginuity of fashion designers never ceases to amaze me.
