The edgy-chic girl

 

 Long time no see eh? 

Well, to tell you the truth it took me some time to let the comfortable feeling sink in, the adjustment to a new neighborhood, a new apartment needs need a few days and I am now happy to say that I am ready for new beginnings!

 Speaking of which, I just bought that lovely little jacket from an outlet; I have developed a little obsession with this type of jacket, that classy tweed texture that reminds me of Chanel, and now I can finally wear one with pride. I decided to wear it here with my leather pants and a simple pair of ankle boots with no heel to create an edgy cool look in a great contrast. Of course you can wear it with high-waisted circle/pencil skirts too.

Have a great Sunday guys!

A Little Bit of Rock & Roll

It is October, and you know what that means: BIRTHDAY MONTH. One of my girlfriends and I have this thing where we pretty much can buy anything we want all month, because, well... BIRTHDAY MONTH. Haha I can promise you that neither of our husbands like this whole "birthday month" idea at all. But anyway, I guess that will come in handy, because I accidentally bid on 2 of the same Tory Burch purses on eBay yesterday, and I am the highest bidder on both and they end today. Soooo...... I guess it's a good thing it's my birthday month, right?? [More details on that whole catastrophe later!] On a completely unrelated note... I'm selling more items on my Instagram shop (@shopvictoriafarnsworth), so please help a sister out! :]

Anyway, I am really loving this pleated dress from Ivy and Blu Maggy Boutique! It is so flirty and feminine, and the color is unlike anything else I have ever had in my closet. Of course I had to counteract all of the feminine goodness with my moto jacket from Aeropostale.

 And I thought this picture that H snapped while walking back to our cars was pretty cool:

Mix It Up

I have a slight problem. It's called "sell all of your clothes and then regret it" syndrome. I go through clothes so quickly. I wear something a few times and then I'm ready for something new, so I sell my clothes and purchase new ones. However, there are times when I regret selling an item, like the Clare Vivier clutch and this sequin top, and I end up repurchasing. I guess it's not the worst thing in the world [though H might feel otherwise] and I sure am glad to have this top again. 

**I sell my clothes on instagram: @shopvictoriafarnsworth

This sequin top is so girly and feminine, I wanted to pair it with something a little edgier to give it a new look. I paired it with a moto jacket, which I am absolutely loving this fall, and this one from Aeropostale is one of my favorites. I love pairing things in my closet in ways I normally wouldn't, because it changes things up, and I am definitely the type of girl that needs that.

Sexy Biker Chick + Style Lately

[H named this post, if you couldn't tell. ;]

Okay, first of all, I apologize for the bad quality of these pictures! We took them at night [we usually take them in the mornings] and so they look kind of fuzzy! On a similar note, I have an amazing new design in the works that I'm so excited about, thanks to the fab Aubrey.

Secondly, I am the Head Stylist over on Style Elixir this morning, so head on over and check it out, plus enter to win a fab giveaway!! I'm really excited about it!

Anyway, have you ever wondered why I never wear jeans on the blog? Well, I hardly wear them not on the blog either. Here's why: I have a big butt, and tiny chicken ankles. If the jeans fit me nicely up top, they are too loose on my calves/ankles. I typically wear leggings, because I hate when jeans are loose on my legs. I have only ever found one pair [THESE from Old Navy] that are tight enough on my legs, so wearing jeans is a serious struggle for me. I found these jeans at Aeropostale, and this is the closest I've been to loving a pair of jeans. They are still a little too loose on the calves for my personal taste, but I love everything else about them! If you don't have skinny calves/ankles, I highly recommend them! :]

Oh, and remember when I said that Aeropostale was stepping up their game? Well I really meant it. I'm not just saying this for the money--I would never promote anything that I didn't personally love. And I LOVE this jacket! SO MUCH. I know that it's still over 100 degrees in Arizona right now, but I don't even care! I am so excited for fall that I had to put on this fab jacket and some booties! [Check out my fashion Pinterest board for some fall inspiration!] I have been craving fall lately--everything about it, but especially Thanksgiving and Christmas! It truly is the greatest time of the year, and I am READY for it all! I'm not the only one who's over summer, right??

I'm also loving this fab necklace from Style Lately! For some reason I feel really edgy whenever I put it on, and it was absolutely perfect paired with Aero jacket! Be sure to check out Style Lately-- they have daily deals [similar to GroopDealz, Very Jane, and Sassy Steals] but they also have an amazing clothing and accessory shop! Some of my favorites are THIS geo top, THESE striped leggings, and THIS pave bow necklace!Don't forget to enter the J. Crew gift card giveaway!!

How amazing is this necklace? I am completely obsessed with anything that says or represents H, because I'm completely obsessed with him! [I also have a ring that says 'H&V' and one that says 'Heath' that I never take off, and I was so excited to add this necklace to my collection!]

Old Men Love Me + 30x30 Challenge

First of all, I want to thank you all for your sweet words and your support after yesterday's post. I was having a really hard time yesterday, but hearing all of your words of encouragement really made everything better. One of my readers, Nicole, [she has the cutest blog ever and I swear her and I are like kindred spirits. She's so real about everything and her blog is one that I can never go a day without reading] told me about the 30x30 Challenge that she saw on Kendi's blog, and I am in love with it. Basically you choose 30 pieces from your closet and mix and match those 30 pieces to make 30 different outfits for 30 days. I will be starting on Monday and I'm actually really excited about it! Because along with my spending freeze, this will help force me to see my closet in a new light. To go shopping in my own closet and realize that I have so many cute pieces. I'm also excited because at the end of the 30 days, I will be able to better distinguish my wants from my needs. Every time we go shopping and I pick something out, H always says, "Don't you have like 3 shirts that look just like that?" Of course I always disagree and purchase it anyway, only to realize upon arriving home that I do, in fact, have 3 [or more] shirts just like that. I think that once I do this 30x30 challenge, I won't be as tempted to impulse buy as much as I have in the past, because I will already know the things I am missing from my wardrobe.My sister-in-law sent me this quote that I absolutely LOVE: "Stop buying the unnecessary. Toss half your stuff, learn contentedness. Reduce half again. List 4 essential things in your life, do these first, stop doing the non essential. Clear distractions, focus on each moment. Let go of attachment to doing/having more. Fall in love with less."
Oh, and I forgot to tell you, yesterday while H and I were taking pictures, this old man in his 60s was walking by, and as he passed us he called out, "Lookin hot!" Haha, it definitely made my day!Anyway, if you are wondering what is going on with my hair in these pictures, well the kids and I played out in the rain yesterday. And I didn't wash my hair afterwards. So this morning it wasn't cooperating, and after trying out 10 different hairstyles, I officially gave up, and this was the result. H thought it looked hot though, so I guess it worked out. ;] And how cute is this top? I love it because it's kind of edgy, and every girl needs that sometimes! Sugar Love Boutique has easily become one of my new favorite shops, and right now they are offering all FF readers 30% off using the code: fashionflirtation.
