The Fashionista Next Door: H&M Maxi Skirt, Part II

So, it seems that my weekend errands look is a maxi skirt/dress of some kind. I find that these flowy skirts are much more comfy than jeans in this HOT ATL weather. Today's skirt is actually a very thin sage green maxi dress from H&M, with a light pink H&M tank layered on top, and belted. I washed my hair, but didn't feel like doing anything with it, so I threw on a hat. Done and done. It was a pretty lazy Sunday after a traumatic Saturday. Okay, I'm being dramatic but I had my very first allergic reaction to something I ate. I woke up in the middle of the night Friday, scratching frantically. My entire body felt like it was on fire, and I rushed to the bathroom only to find hives all over my legs. I took a cold shower and slathered on some antihistamine cream, only to wake up to more outbreaks on my arms. At this point, I'm freaking out because I had never been through this before and I have NO CLUE what could have caused it. So, off to urgent care I went, where I received a cortizone shot in my butt, and a pack of Methylprednisolone tablets to take for the next 6 days. Joy! Needless to say, I'll be gettting an allergy test some time this week. Meanwhile, I am scared to eat!

I think the look has a safari sorta vibe, don't ya think. Maybe it's the hat and the boots?

As per the usual, I had to add a little bit of glam to the look complements of my little vintage gold evening bag, which has been getting a lot of wear since it happened to be one of the bags that dodged the boxes, and made it into my suitcases when I moved.

Since I am not all that excited about my outfit, I will tell you what I am excited about...

Guess what arrived today.... MY CLOTHES!!!! All 7 boxes + 3 boxes of shoes! Yippee!!!!! I've never been so excited about unpacking in my life (I'm sure the excitement will be short lived.. Lol!)
I bought new boots! Yippee!!! Of course, we all know that lace-u boots and faux fur are an absolute must have for fall. Well, for the low, low price of $30 ($36.50 with shipping) I scored what I think will be a fabulous 2 for 1 from Go Jane -- black lace-up booties with black shearling trim. LOVE! If you are signed up to receive Go Jane email offers, you probably received a 20% off coupon this weekend. Well, I had actually been eying a different pair of shearling trimmed booties and I decided I'd cure my allergy woes by treating myself to a new pair of shoes at 20% off (sad, I know!). Of course, one can never just buy something online without skimming the cart a little bit, right. Well, I'm glad I did, because I ran across these booties, which I LOVED much more. Now, they were about $10 more, but much cuter in my opinion...

Now, these also come in Gray, and Tan/Brown but I decided to go with basic black because I don't currently own a pair of black lace-ups, I've already got the tan Sam Edelmans, and gray just didn't seem as versatile for my wardrobe ( I hope I don't kick myself for not getting the tan/brown! I love the two-toned look of them....who knows, maybe if they are still in stock in the next few weeks???)

I can't wait to tuck some jeans/leggings/tights/socks into these puppies. They are just super cute! I've never purchased shoes from Go Jane, so I hope they are comfy. Of course, I'll give you guys a full review as soon as I get them.

Oh, and I have the perfect leather shorts ensemble picked out for a birthday dinner I'm attending this Wednesday!!! I tried it on for Mr. Fabrice, and I think I've successfully changed his mind about leather shorts, ladies! Mmm hmmmm...Lol!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
