OOTD -- Leopard Leggings && Leather Jacket

Hello my loves ♥ --

I hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's Day!! I'm assuming there are a lot of people waking up extremely hungover today, and thanking God that it's Sunday and not Monday morning. I'm mostly Polish but have a little Irish in me from my mom's side. I just spent the day with family. It was a really chill day and I'm hangover free this beautiful morning. ;) I wanted to show you all my OOTD from Friday (3/14). I bought pretty much all of the clothing that I wore in this OOTD recently, and these pieces were featured in my recent collective hauls.

(If you haven't seen them, here are the links: Part I, Part II, and Part III.)

My hair was crayyy that day because the wind was absolutely out of control.

I purchased the faux leather jacket at Ross. I have a love/hate relationship with Ross...sometimes I walk out with bags full of gorgeous new clothes, and other times I search through rack after rack of pure disappointment. Lol. Luckily I snagged this jacket for only $12.99!! It was such an amazing deal, and it's actually really great quality. My leopard print leggings are from Ross as well (I believe-- I forgot to add them in the haul. Dumbass. haha). I wore a plain nude colored tank top from Charlotte Russe underneath my faux leather jacket. I purchased the tank online. I paired this outfit with my black boots from Wet Seal. I bought the boots on sale for $20.94.

Accessories:

(I turned my bracelets around for photo purposes because they look amazing next to my tattoo. I'm obsessed. Haha.) The bracelets are from Charming Charlie and Forever XXI.

I wore some cute gold studs in my ears and my cartilage (not pictured). I opted for my long, 4 piece Aeropostale necklace for a pop of color. This necklace is my favorite out of all my necklaces because of the turquoise chain. To match the turquoise on my necklace, I wore my turquoise and yellow ring, and well as my peach ring, and my mint green ring. I love stacking bracelets-- it's such a unique look and you can mix and match. The bracelets on the top and bottom were Christmas gifts from Tom's sister, and she bought them at Charming Charlie. The "Hope" bracelet was purchased by me at Forever 21, as well as the gold chain ID bracelet with the heart cutout.

To finish the outfit off, I wore my new Guess bag. It can be used as an arm bag OR a crossbody bag. I wore it crossbody this particular day.

I hope you enjoyed my OOTD. I know I haven't posted one in a while. I'll try to get better about that, I promise!! :) What was your favorite part of my outfit? Did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? If so, what did you do to celebrate? Let me know in the comments below. ♥

Collective Haul Part III

Hi Babessss,

I was going to hold off on this 3rd part of my collective haul because I didn't want to overload you with hauls, but you guys don't seem to mind. ;) I know that personally hauls are my favorite thing to read on blogs and watch on YouTube, because I love to see other people's personal style, and what's available at my favorite stores now. Anyway, let's jump right in, this could be a long post. ;)

Nike Dunk Skinny -- Grey Leopard $120

 I had to start with my absolute favorite purchase. If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, you'll probably remember a street style "wishlist" post I wrote a while back. These shoes were on that post. It took me forever to find them. They're sold out of every store within a hundred mile radius of where I live. They're sold out almost everywhere online. These shoes are exclusive and really hard to get your hands on. I finally found them on a website, from a different country. It took over a week for them to get to me, (because of customs both leaving their country and entering the U.S.) and I was a bit skeptical because I wanted to make sure they were legit. I was so happy and relieved when I received them and saw that they were legit, real Nikes. These are my favorite shoes that I've ever owned, by far. :) Ahhhh!!

LG 32" LED TV

 Here is another big purchase we made recently. We had our nice flat screen TV's in our living room and family room, and had one of the older "box" TV's in our bedroom. When Tom bought his PS4, he quickly realized that you can only hook it up to a newer TV. Our bedroom TV didn't have the right plugs(?). We went to Walmart and got this TV for our bedroom, and I'm really happy with it. We were debating on getting this or the Samsung TV that is the same size, but ultimately decided on this one because we're so happy with our LG phones. The picture is SO crisp and clear, and the sound is amazing. It has a surround sound feature and I love using that while watching movies. :)

Jewelry Tree -- Ross $8.99

Jewelry Holder -- $6.99 @ Family Dollar

 I received a new jewelry box as a gift recently, because my other jewelry box was falling apart. The new one was much smaller than my old one though, and didn't even come close to fitting all of my jewelry. I saw a cute jewelry tree for cheap at Ross, and the other one I saw at Family Dollar. They were really cute && inexpensive so I bought both. The jewelry tree I bought more for necklaces, especially longer necklaces. The jewelry holder/stand I bought more for earrings because it has so many holes. My jewelry box I use for rings and stud earrings, as well as my jewelry for my Monroe piercing. I'm a total organization freak, and this helps organize my jewelry perfectly. I also bought a few different bins/containers from Family Dollar for miscellaneous beauty items (nail polish bin, makeup bin, etc.).

Faux Leather Jacket -- $12.99 @ Ross

Leaf Print Tank -- Wet Seal $13.74 (on sale from $22,90)

Light Wash Jeans -- Ross (forgot price, sorry!!)

Uptown Jeans (Whiteout) -- Wet Seal $15.90 (on sale from $26.50)

Mirrored Triangle Tribal Leggings -- Wet Seal $8.94 (on sale from $14.90)

Foldover Black Yoga Pants -- Wet Seal $7.74 (on sale from $12.90)

Demi Wedge Slouch Boot -- Wet Seal $20.94 (on sale from $34.90)

Fringe Cuff T-Strap Sandal -- Wet Seal $11.94 (on sale from $19.90)

That's everything I bought. Most of the items I purchased were on clearance or on sale. I rarely buy anything for full price, because I can find such great deals when things are on sale/clearance/or I have coupons/coupon codes. I try to be smart with my money && get the biggest bang for my buck as possible. ;) Remember, these things were bought over a time period of a few weeks. I didn't buy everything all at once. These items were purchased with my hard earned money, gift cards I earned through surveys or got as gifts, and as usual, I saved a ton of money because of huge sales.

Here are some photos of me wearing the Aeropostale necklace && leopard leggings from my other haul, && my new faux leather jacket:

I totally missed my face, but at least you can see my outfit. ;)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Get out && do something fun!! I'm planning on doing something new && very exciting today, but I'll let you know what it is in my next blog post. ;) Until then, comment below and let me know what items were your favorite(s) from my haul and what you're doing this weekend!!
