Happy New Year Friends!!
I hope you all had a wonderful & safe New Year’s Eve!
Ours was pretty low key….my parents had offered to keep the kids for us, so we decided to go out to dinner & catch a movie. Dinner was delicious, but we were bummed to find out that the movie theater was closed due to the projection of bad weather. We ended up stopping by Redbox on the way home, rented a couple of movies & spent the rest of the evening on the couch, in our p.j.’s…..not a bad night if you ask me! 🙂
Did you guys do anything exciting?!
Some of you may know that my birthday was just a couple weeks back. With my birthday & Christmas falling so close together, I usually have a small surplus of cash to spend. Some of that money goes towards things that I need or want for the house (I’ve bought a few things for our master bedroom that I hope to share with you soon), but because I also love clothes, I usually end up spending a good amount of my birthday/Christmas cash on a new winter wardrobe! So, I thought I would take a minute today to share with you a few new items that I recently added to my closet if that’s okay with y’all?!
I found this cute chevron top at Rue 21 a few weeks back…..
It was a steal at just $19.99 and I just love how it fits! I liked it so well, that I also bought another one in a different color combination! 🙂 It’s sheer, so I have been wearing it with a white tank underneath and pairing it with my skinny jeans & boots. The boots are also a new addition to my wardrobe. I bought them at Target & I absolutely LOVE them!
This one is a pink & gray plaid. The combination of the colors & the sheer fabric give this shirt such a cute, feminine feel. It’s definitely one of my favorites to wear!
Love that chevron top… I’ve never been in a Rue 21 store. That may need to change!
Love the chevron top! Great find! I just bought some new stuff with Christmas gift cards, and as usual, bought more than I had cards for.
Love the chevron top! I bought a emerald green one from Rue 21. They are so comfy!
Really pretty! Love these looks! I got some goodies on sale at Kohl’s with Christmas money.
That chevron top is amazing! I always forget about Rue 21. Now I must make a trip. Your hair is really cute too. Stopping by from WIWW. Heather
Cute finds! I really love the chevron!
We have a Rue 21 close, I may need to check that one out!! Thanks! Your outfits are cute!
Cute outfits, love the tops! What brand are your skinny jeans from Kohls? I’m still searching for a really great pair. Love the color of these.
The brand is “Elle” and they are called “super skinny jeans” although don’t let that scare you….I am far from being super skinny!! 🙂
Thanks!! I’m heading out to Kohls today, will check them out! -Karen
Cute cute! I have decided to start taking advantage of all the clearance sales and putting away for next Christmas. Scored 3 Rosalina smocked dresses for 11.00 & 12.00 each for my granddaughters ! And a velour jog set for 12.50, with fur trim -very snazzy ! -for my mom-in-law. Now for some sheer shirts!
Really cute!
Thank so much Stacey!!
It sounds like you guys had an enjoyable New Year’s Eve, but it’s a bummer about the movie theater being closed! I love going to the theater. You look cute in both tops!
The movie theater was a total bummer!! Thank you so much for stopping by Rachel!!
Loving that chevron top..I bought one too, in a different color, but I have yet to blog it. It’s a little cold for me to wear it, so I’m a little jealous that it looks nice and warm where you are 🙂

I also had some Christmas cash to spend, and got a few new things – wishing I had seen that chevron top when I was spending it! It’s great. And you look so pretty in these! 🙂
Just this morning I spent some of my clothes money on workout clothes. I have an addiction and it’s baaaad. I kind of have a reputation at my gym because I have so many workout clothes and towels to match and shoes………..it’s really a sin.
Your hair is so cute!
I love that top! How does it fit? I want to order it but I have never bought anything from Rue 21 so I don’t know how their sizes run.
Hi Colette! I feel like the tops are pretty true to size! I bought a medium which is what I usually wear in my other tops. I would say just order whatever size you would normally go with!
I love the Chevron top you are wearing. How recent did you purchase it? I would love to buy this top for an upcoming family photo shoot. Just let me know when you get a chance. Thank you:)
Hi Amanda! The chevron top was purchased back in December. I can no longer find it on the Rue 21 website, so I’m guessing they no longer have it! 🙁
Would you be interested in selling it? I believe you mentioned it was a medium which is the size I’m needing. Just curious and hoping:)) Thank you!
I’m not interested in selling! Sorry! 🙁 I do have a friend with an online boutique who has something similar. Here is the link. http://bbowtique.storenvy.com/products/2060479-lines-of-confusion-black
LOVING that chevron top. The way it fits is so flattering and the price is right for sure! I haven’t been to rue 21 myself, but I may be making a stop there soon! adorable!
Super cute outfits! If you get a sec, I’d love to hear your thoughts on my latest post. xo

Found you through the Pleated Poppy. LOVE that chevron top! We have a Rue21 about 30 minutes from where I live, & I think you’ve just convinced me to make a trip there this weekend! 🙂 -Elaine
I so want that chevron top.
I love that chevron top! So cute and I love how it fits! I will have to check that out! Found you through Pleated Poppy!
Chevron is the way forward I think. I purchased one for the Christmas parties and I love it so much I am wearing it all the time.
