Minty Gold - OOTD

I know it's been a while since I've done an outfit. I may have another lag coming up as our house is soon to be a construction zone for a new kitchen. Then again I don't have many excuses since the weather has been surprisingly pleasant here in the OH.

Majority of my clothes were from my trip to Chicago a couple weeks ago.

Jacket - Top Shop

Mint Rhinestone tank - Top Shop

Boyfriend Cropped Jeans- Express

Gold and Silver Heels - Top Shop

Owl Earrings - Thread

Necklace - Dongdaemon Korea

Watch - Baby G

 

I was ecstatic to find these shoes and even better they were on sale for $70, the last pair and in my size. It was like the fashion gods knew we were meant to be together. I'd been lusting for something patent silver or gold since fall and these are hitting all the right marks.

To go along with my current obsession of mint and gold I got my first gel manicure in my proclaimed colors for the season. I went to Elli Nail spa per my friend Amie's suggestion and was very happy with the service and the finished product. My nails have still been flaking since the harsh acrylics I had for  my wedding and normal polish just wasn't cutting it anymore with how tough I am on my fingers. The gel is thicker and stronger so I'm less likely to snag an edge or have chipping.

Hope you all have a great weekend! I have some good stuff lined up to show you next week!
Cheers!

Tobi - Clothes Review

I ordered from Tobi for the first time last week and was very happy when my package came in the mail.  I am currently obsessed with Mint and Copper for my spring colors, and they had mint all over the place.  One of the things I like the best that they do is everything new goes on sale for a week before they put it at their normal prices.  It's not expensive or doesn't seem that way since it's on sale.  

 It came the same way most clothes does, in a plastic mailer bag pretty plain

 Each piece was individually wrapped probably the stayed this from from the manufacturer to the warehouse and right to me.  It makes me nostalgic of working in the stock room of a retail store how we unpacked all the clothing from their little baggies and then later shove them back in if there was a shipping order to fill.

 I got this comfy mint hoodie/sweatshirt that has 3/4 sleeves

Nothing much to say on this except the fabric is thin enough to show if you were wearing a black bra and everything was cover stitched or serge sewn together.  The draw strings are a really nice cotton when I expected them to be an icky nylon so that was a good surprise.

Long mint pleated skirt 

The fabric on this was better then I had expected for the outer shell.  The inner lining was super cheap and serge finished instead of a rolled hem or top stitch. Also you can tell it wasn't just factory but MASS produced because one of the side seams was really wonky where the pleats didn't match up and the seam is sewn diagonally through some of the pleats so it has that weird twist.  I'm hoping that will settle out after hanging it for a while and the first time I wash it.  There were also some loose threads that just made it look messy around the waistband which I had to promptly snip.

Polka Dot sleeveless Blouse

I was very surprised that this fabric was also much nicer then expected.  It has had proper facing in the button holes and collar of the blouse.  I expected the armholes to a nightmare of finishing but it was clean and so was the bottom of the fabric.  The fit was just what I wanted also.

All in all I'm very happy with my purchases and I will definitely continue to browse and shop their online store with confidence in what I will be getting.  Their price points aren't bad and the shipping was pretty standard in time. You just have to keep in mind if it looks slightly weird or makes the model look fat it will look completely weird or fattening on you also.
