Cleanin' Out My Closet. Style Inspiration!

Hey ladies! I hope 2014 has started off well for all of you! I trust you are all keeping up with your new year's resolutions ;) One of mine this year is to go through my clothes and decide what I like and don't like. I know this will help me "manage" the clutter that is my closet. The only problem? I am addicted to shopping. I love finding new styles and making new outfits. Thankfully, I have learned a few thing over the years about getting the most for my money. I love thrifting and have done a few thrift hauls on our YouTube channel. Even though, I find thrifting budget friendly and fun I do love the feeling of getting brand new clothes that are currently on trend. The way I accomplish this... online shopping!! I don't always have to purchase items, but looking at different sites helps me determine the kind of clothing I would like to add to my wardrobe. There are a bunch of sites out there including Daily Look, Hautlook, Romwe, and more. Then I thought hmm, why can't there be a website that has cute affordable clothes that I can actually purchase?! Now I love Rue21.com and other clothing stores that sell their products online but I just recently found one that I can only access online and not in store. I stumbled upon Persunmall.com on none other than the website Stumpleupon. I was drawn in by their adorable clothing and spent almost an hour on the website browsing. This lead me to having 10 items in my cart. I emailed Jessica the links and she found some stuff she loved as well. As I said, I am trying to downsize and can't afford to buy ALL of the things in my cart. This is where you come in! I need your help! I need your opinions on the clothes! I have chose some items that Jessica and I both love and would love for you to comment what your two favorites are! This may also inspire you to incoorperate styles like these into your wardobe.

I'm a huge sucker for anything with a cat on it. Totally Miley, I know but at least these ones aren't floating in outer-space. If you watched our January Q&A on YouTube then you might know that Jessica has six cats. So naturally we both like the cat sweaters! These two we both like because, why wouldn't we? Which cat sweater do you like better? Collared Kitten or Bow-tie Kitten. Yes, I named them.

This adorable red sweater with zipper detailing would fit perfectly into my wardrobe. I can see myself wearing this with leggings and some cute black booties. This is my number one pick of the clothes in my cart! It also comes in beige and back. I like those too. Ahhh! Inner turmoil.

Jessica and I both love this gray oversized sweater with the detailed back. I am obsessed with this color pattern and have several tops with this pattern. I know, I know. I probably don't need another but come on, look how cute it is!!! I love slouchy sweaters especially during the Winter here in Michigan. The second top reminds me of one that I saw at American Eagle a few months back. I saw it on a mannequin and instantly said "Yep, I'm buying it!" before looking at the tag and saying "It's not that cute!" I could not afford $65 for one top, no way. This one is only $21.99! A top contender, this baby is staying in my cart. Which one do you like better?

BEEEEEEEEE DOOOOO! You guys know I am IN LOVE with my minions. They have the cutest phone cases on their website. I am so mad that I have the 5C because they don't make cases for them anywhere really :( I wish I could get one of these but it wouldn't fit my phone! I thought I would share them with you because they are so adorable! If you guys know of anywhere I can get cute iPhone 5C cases, let me know please! <3

Minion Cases!

Two more sweater options! These ones are a little more out of my comfort zone. They are patterns I find interesting and would love to have in my closet. I have a tunic that has striped sleeves like the one on the left, but it doesn't fit me correctly. That is why when I saw this one I thought it might be something I should pick up! The red star sweater was one Jessica and I both liked. I love big sweaters of course but this one is unlike any other sweater I own. It is such a basic design but it is so cute! I can see myself wearing a colored flannel under this to make it a little more modern. Which is your favorite?

The Striped Sleeve Green Sweater or The Red Star Sweater

The last few things I know I don't necessarily need, but I really like them! The dress I found so adorable because I have nothing like it. These boxy dresses kind of hide your shape but for some reason I find them so interesting. I love the zippered "pocket" and the color blocked sleeves. Maybe the dress I wear to IMATS in April? Hmm, I don't know! That is why I need your help! They have so many cute dresses under $20 and I can't help but want them all! :( The jewelry and other accessories on Pursunmall.com are so affortable I couldn't help but pick some out. The necklace is $6 and the scarf is $19.99.

Shopping Haul! (Makeup and More)

Last Thursday me and Jessica went shopping! So we have a haul for you guys today including all the things we bought. We went to just two stores, Kmart and Sephora. We got makeup, accessories, and more!

When we got to Kmart Jessica was on a hunt for makeup. So she ended up getting quite a bit and all for under $25 total! These first three things are just makeup basics that every girl needs. The Maybelline Mega Plush mascara in very black is one that Jessica and I both love. She needed to repurchase this because she was out. The NYC Dual Pencil sharpener, is just that- a pencil sharpener. She uses this to sharpen eyeliners and shadow crayons. The item on the right is Maybelline's Define a Line Eyeliner. This is a liner than rolls up and does not need a sharpener. This one is in the color ebony black and we both use this eyeliner to define our waterlines.The Maybelline products were buy one get one 40% off!

One reason we went to this Kmart in particular was because they sell Jordana products. These can be hard to find unless you order offline. In order to avoid the shipping prices we decided to make just a slightly longer drive to this Kmart instead of going to the local one that doesn't sell these products. The Jordana line was buy one get one 50% off on all of their makeup and nail polish. So Jessica didn't waste any time picking out four blushes. The four colors she picked up were Blushing Rose, Redwood, Rose Silk, and Tawny Beige. These are so so pretty! I also bought Redwood. Unfortunately, when we went to purchase our items the cashier was very unfriendly and refused to give us the sale price of buy one get one 50% off. So we went to the service desk and got it taken care of :) Never pay more than you have to. If the sign says there is a sale just ask the cashier to double check. Most of the time you are right and they were just unaware of the sale.

Jessica also bought these two lip liners by Jordana as well. These are in the shades Cabernet and Sedona Red.

These were also buy one get one 50% off.

I have been really wanting a lipstick that looks right with my skin tone. I am very picky about my lipstick colors because I am not the BIGGEST fan of lipstick. However, lately I have been looking for NYX Whipped Caviar because Jessica used it on my lips and it looked amazing! I haven't bought it yet but in the meantime I found a slightly similar color by Rimmel London. This is the Kate Moss line. I love these lipsticks and this one "08" is my new favorite! I wore this on my lips while I was in Canada (blog coming soon about the trip) and it lasted all night and it is the perfect color for me! I also bought a Jordana lip gloss. It is called Lip Out Loud in E-123 110 and it smells so good. It is sticky and a soft color that goes well over lipstick.

I also ventured off and looked in the shoes and jewelry section. I found these adorable black wedge shoes. These were $19.99 and worth every penny. I wore these out to the bar in Canada and my feet did not hurt at all. These are the most comfortable shoes and I love the way they look with jeans and tights! Then I also bought two necklaces from the Dream Out Loud collection by Selena Gomez. These were $12.99 each and were buy one get one 50% off. I have been wanting a gold chain necklace like this one for a very long time. This one is so heavy and chunky, I just love it. I got the dark silver one for my best friend for her birthday. While I was looking up the links for the shoes for you guys I realized they have them in burgundy! I am buying those ASAP!!!

To the far right you will see a Covergirl eyeliner called Ink It! in the shade black ink. I purchased this liner at Kmart and have actually had a chance to use it. I like it, it isn't THE best liner out there but it was only about $5. The liner on the left is from Sephora and was only $1.99. This one is in patent black I have not tried it yet but I personally love Sephora's line of makeup products so hopefully I love this one. If not, oh well. The price was definitely right.

These were my free birthday gifts from Sephora. My birthday was in March but I never got my free gift and the cashier was so nice and helpful. She gave both Jessica and I our free birthday gifts. We got the Real Birthday Turn-Ons set. This is a sample of Benefit cosmetics Watt's Up! highlighter and their They're Real! mascara. Even though these may be samples they still have a lot of product. Samples are great for determining if you like a product before you spend the big bucks on the full size. We were so happy to get these and I can't wait to start using them! Watt's Up! (Full Size) They're Real! (Full Size)

Now, this is our most exciting purchase! We both bought this Sephora Palette. This one is called the Makeup Made Simple Palette. This is essentially three palettes in one. I love Sephora's eye shadow palettes and you know I am constantly talking up their Primal Instincts Palette. This palette has most of the colors from that palette and more! The coolest thing about it is it comes with a little carrying case that you can put one of the palettes in for light travel since the whole palette itself if pretty big! Now, guess how much this was. You are never going to believe us. Hell, the cashier didn't even believe us. She said "I'll have to check the price on that, it seems too good to be true." We found this palette in the sale section that they hide in the corner of the store. This is a $170 Value sold for $34. We got it on sale for $7.99! $7.99! We couldn't believe it. The cashier even said "Your total comes for $10.36, that is not something I get to say a lot."

We were so excited and can't wait to do some tutorials and makeup looks with this palette!

Jessica also got another free gift for reaching 100 points on her Sephora store card. She got the Tarte Lights, Camera, Flashes Mascara in the sample size. She has mentioned before that she is a big fan of Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes. So obviously, she was really happy about her free gift!
