Plen+y Haul and a Surprise Model

If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you'd know that I picked up some great pieces from the Plen+y warehouse sale I posted about on Thursday. I thought we'd take these new additions out for a spin today since it was such a bright sunny day! Only a couple shots of me today, but the real model today is Ricky.

I've accumulated an outfit for him throughout the past couple months so I got him to model for me. He's wearing the Standard Issue jacket and Scotch&Soda shirt I got for him at the Plen+y sale, J Brands from a J Brand sample sale from bigtime clothing, and DC Life shoes from my last DJ Premium haul. I know he secretly enjoyed modelling despite his reluctance, hah!

I guess this will be a Gentleman's post! :)

New Blouse New Boots Oh Yeah

Got some new goods! Another blouse from my last DJ Premium haul, as well as new boots from my latest Bluefly haul.

This outfit I wore last week to work, and it was the BB Dakota Damia blouse is the comfiest thing ever! It has Dolman sleeves, which I find keeps me much warmer than regular sleeves for some reason. The blouse also made out of the softest cotton and flows off my shoulders quite well. I especially like that the sleeves are full length; a lot of dolman sleeve clothes have 3/4 or 1/2 length sleeves but full length is much preferred. There's also big pockets on the front that are more for form than function, lol. Ricky thinks the top makes me look boxy, but I think it looks just right :)

Equestrian-esque

I hadn't taken the dav rain boots I got from my DJP haul out for a spin yet, so I was so overjoyed when I found out it was going to rain today! That's probably the only time you'll ever hear me say that!! Rain is such depressing weather... coupled with the grey clouds, dark gloomy atmosphere and for me.... getting whacked in the face by unskilled, umbrella-wielding commuters. But nonetheless, I was excited to try out my new boots!

I love these rain boots for 4 reasons:
1) They're fleece-lined! Keeps your feet nice and warm so you don't have to buy boots socks for rain boots like Hunters
2) They have removable insoles- Because I have flat feet, I need to put my custom orthotic insoles in most flat shoes, so this is a +++1 for me
3) They aren't your traditional rain boot! The equestrian look and horse-bit detailing add an extra oomph to your boot and makes your rain boot look sleek and slim... not like a traditional clunky rain boot at all!
4) They were only $34 after the 60% off from DJP! Can't beat a deal like that :)

Red, White and... Blue?

Red, white and blue go so well together. It's too bad that it always reminds me of national flags though... But oh well! My coworker said I looked really British today- probably because of the Union Jack. Funny because I thought I looked very fourth of July, haha.

I got this new equestrian-esque riding belt on PLNDR. It was only 5 bucks! The only thing is that it's a little bit too big :( I already put it on the closest belt holes on both sides, but it's still too big. I don't know if I can alter it to make it any smaller. I had to wear a cardi on top and belt on top of it. One because it was too cold without the cardi, and two, to make the belt fit better.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday Haul

You knew this post was coming. How can it not be when one of the biggest shopping days of year just past?
Oooh man. So many deals too be had this year, specifically DJ Premium, Ann Taylor / Loft, Endless, and Aldo.

Before I get into the haul, I found these funny shoes during my online shopping frenzy. Don't they totally remind you of Rudolph the Red Nosed raindeer? Just throw on some antlers and you're good to go! LOL~

Anyways, let's take a look at the damage:
