I posted a few pics Saturday night from my recent shopping spree. For those who missed it, I hired a sitter for my three toddlers, drove two hours to shop, got it done in four, and came home. I hadn't been shopping in a year, recently became a SAHM and needed a new wardrobe. Fearing I'd come to dress like many of the moms I see in the grocery store with kids in tow, I had to act fast! I explain all this because these pics are just the tip of the iceberg --- and may start to seem obnoxiously excessive. This, and future posts, include my haul from that trip, along with some online orders from Nordstrom's and Ann Taylor.

The pants in this group are the first thing I picked up in the petite section of ATL on my first stop. I do love animal print but usually wear it in small doses, so this is quite out of my comfort zone. The tags are still on and I need some honest advice as far as K/R.

#1: Denim jacket: American Eagle (bought last year but never worn)
Dark green shirt: ATL new
Black booties: Born (bought last year, just got out of box yesterday)

#2 Black V-neck sweater: old
Blazer: new from Nordies

#3 Red Evan Picone sweater: old

I do have some black riding boots that I meant to pair them with but forgot. Do you think those would work?

Next up is a thin, boxy animal print sweater from ATL.

#4 Gap Always Skinny jeans
Same booties

#5 I added a belt (the only belt I own, BTW). I really want to work on building a belt inventory as learn more about using them in outfits.

#6 Black skinny pants: ATL new - still has tags. K/R? They have a little more structure than leggings and are so comfortable!
Black riding boots: Born, old

#7 Added new black blazer from Nordies.

#8 Denim skirt: AT, old
Brown riding boots: Born, old

#9 Minus the black blazer. Looking at the pic, I'm wondering if maybe a black scarf might break up the print and maybe have a slimming effect?

Sorry for all the pics but really need to know if any of these have potential. Thanks for your help.
