Some Fashion Thirst is Quenched

Today was a very lovely day! I got to spend a whole day with my best friend, Kylie! It has been quite sometime since we have been able to go out together and do our favorite things. Today this included eating dinner at our favorite place, Carrows, and going shopping. Our first stop was Target, where I picked up some necessities (make up, kleenex, qtips, etc.) but was also on a search for colored, patterned or lace tights. I wanted to find some before it got too warm to wear tights and I assumed Target would be a good place. I was disappointed when their selection had been torn through pretty heavily. I did find tow pair, both on sale, which was an incredible plus! That is probably the only reason why I got bright purple tights as well as a kind of woven blue and gray pair. It was about $5 for both pair, and I still am unsure how I'll wear them. Any suggestions on how to wear some pretty stand-out-in-a-crowd tights? I'd love to hear some ideas! We went to Kohls afterward where Kylie found a really cute pair of athletic shoes and I searched for more tights! I had a Kohls gift card for Kohls so I bought a couple pricier but better quality tights. Also, much more wearable, as they are dark purple and navy. I'm really looking forward to using these tights in my outfits! I feel like I am finally catching up to some trends I have loved! We then headed over to Carrows, greeted our favorite waitress, and enjoyed some good catch up conversation over the usual meal: grilled chicken salads with Diet Pepsi to drink. Perfect.  With it only being 7:45 when we finished, we decided to go to Ross. I hadn't been in so long, I forgot how wonderful Ross is! I purchased a blue and white nautical style striped shirt, ankle boots, and black gladiator sandals. I'm quite looking forward to using all these pieces! I had been wanting colored tights, a nautical shirt, and black sandals for a while now, I'm so happy that that thirst has been quenched! All in all it was a lovely and needed day, thanks Kylie!

It was also a fairly cold day here on the Central Coast of California...

Looking forward to another lovely day tomorrow...I wonder what new thing I'll wear, looking forward to it all!
