Hodge-Podge Mix

On a quick break I walked into two of my favorite stores as of late, H&M and F21.  Without any specific items in mind I ended up with a hodge-podge  mix that I'm quite happy to add to my closet.

H&M

• Sleeveless Blouse - how could I say no to this cute blouse for under $5; plus it reminds me of a dainty French tea cup
• Shorts - I probably own two pairs of shorts so I was shocked when I gravitated toward these cuties; it was love at first sight plus they are amazing on (outfit soon)
• Dress - when we went out for lunch on Mother's Day it seemed that all the ladies were wearing their beautiful maxi summer dresses; while this hits right below the knee I liked the color, which is darker than in the pic; I tried it on at home and I really don't like the way it fits; think this might be a return
• Harem Pants - MCHammer comes to mind (haha); I liked these on so much I got them in the gray and black  (outfit soon)
• Bag - couldn't resist picking up this cute bag for my daughter

 FOREVER 21

• Skirt:  mid-length skirt in a gorgeous turquoise that does not quite come through in this picture; also loved the texture
• Skirts:  I liked the shape of these skirts and the polka dots; Libra indecision kicked in so I got both
• Pants:  notice a trend????; cannot wait to wear these!
• Hat:  honestly cannot tell you why I picked up this hat but it just called to me so I took it home
• Ring:  this sweet thing reminds me of Cinderella's slipper; anyone ever see the movie "The Slipper and the Rose"? one of my favorites!
• Earrings:  Alexis Bittar lookalikes for $4? yes please.
• Cuffs:  I recently saw similar cuffs (the gold basket weave) at Nordstrom and liked them so when I saw these similar ones I thought why not?; for this price ($6) I can get two; and then I saw the hammered green ones; got two of those!
• Bag:  I really liked the color and feel of this bag; after I brought it home, while surfing the net, I found a Chanel bag exactly the same as this bag; mine cost around $20!
