getting ready for spring...

wardrobe-wise at least.

yesterday i felt like going out shopping with my mom so i convinced her to go to del amo mall and we did a little shopping at forever21. maybe not a little price-wise, but we got quite a few pieces for what we paid. i thought i'd share what we bought with pictures!

i went in wanting to look at the necklaces and maybe pick up one or two statement necklaces. i only have simple, thin chained necklaces with a little charm. so i wanted something bigger. well, as soon as we walk in the store, i see the blazer i saw on the site.

 it actually looks decent and very bold. the fabric has a nice feel and it fits pretty nicely.

also, forever21 has the WORST styling. ever. that first picture makes her look fat and is very unflattering. with how the S fit me, she needs an XS. trust me, it looks better than it does on her. anyways, i got that because it would go great with my striped JCs. i can't wait to pair them together with a black bodycon dress.
i saw these little cuties and felt like spring was here. they also have a slightly more rounder shape than typical wayfarers. that with the bright print makes it really cute.

then i found this plastic black bow ring and plastic yellow heart ring. the bow just looks really playful and the yellow of the ring, again, screams spring. my mom got a red bow and a purple heart. she also liked this fabric flower ring. (of course we're going to switch and share)

since i was trying on the rings with the little paper backing attached, i guess it fit snugger than it would without. so when i got home, the bow still fit okay, but the heart is so much bigger than i thought! i wonder if there's a way to make it fit better...somehow.

i could only find one necklace that was along the lines of what i was looking for and something i actually liked. aaand...up until yesterday it was on the website. i know it's a slightly older style so it might've finally sold out. this one has a similar style. it's painted on gold shaped flowers, not jewels or stones. it's also multi-colored with pastel colors so again, springy.

i also got this simple, yet amazing yellow pullover sweater. coming from a darks/black dominated wardrobe this winter, this is the cutest thing i own right now that i can't wait to wear. the model is wearing an S and i got an L because it looked a little better with some slouch and baggyness (and the sleeves are actually long enough on the L). also, it's not as pastel as it looks online. it's like, the perfect shade of yellow. not pastel and not bright.

i think pairing the sweater with the sunglasses and my light-washed, cutoff denim shorts would be SO CUTE. i can't decide what shoes to wear though. super casual would be some cute flat sandals and then some wedge sandals would give it a little more girly flare.

oh, i almost forgot. this last piece isn't from forever21 but i wanted to add it to my spring-obsessed post. it's a watch from the brand time will tell. i actually got through wholesale through my work. lucky!
 it's such a cute light, baby blue color. again, pair this with everything else i just listed (minus the blazer) and i'd have the most colorful outfit i've worn in months.

okay, that's it of my shopping. bye! ♥
