Haul Time!

So I went to the mall with my mom today and we went on a little shopping trip!…We only hit a 3 stores but managed to spend well over $300.…mostly coming out of my pocket…lol. The first store we went to was LB or Lane Bryant….
Here is where I spent the bulk of the money. We did have a coupon for $25 off $75...you know …one of those coupons that gives you a portion off depending on how much you spend. I wont mention what my mom bought but I bought 2 bras (2 have to be mailed to me since my size was not in store), panties (5 for $29 but I got 3 and my mom got 2), and a sequined tank. It baffles me how even with my mother’s two additional items we spent $145 in that store. VERY over priced if you ask me. I did get some real women dollars. They stated that I would be able to get $75 off of a $150 purchase starting after Thanksgiving. I saw some pants that I want but at $60 I left them there. I might just go back and get them. I do like the face that LB had little stocking stuffer items available for purchase…little wallets, watches, nail polishes, and such for a reasonable price.
I usually wear a 42C in bras. Here are the ones I bought today:
Ok so my mom saw they had matching panties to the third bra. I don't usually care but it's my birthday coming up so why not. Since they were 5 for $29 I got three and my mom got 2. I buy 14/16 but I wear a 18/20 in the clothes. My style was a little over the place but here are my three:
I also got a sequined tank in a 14/16:
I also went to Forever 21. I can never go to the mall and not visit F21! I had been eyeing some things from the website and thankfully the store had them! That’s like a first ever. Now if they would only get the plus line! I only spent $20 in there with two necklaces, 3 pairs of socks, and a ring.
I bought this necklaces but in both colors:
I also bought this ring in grey. It has a stretchy band
I also bought 3 pairs of socks but I want more! They just didn't have all the ones I saw from online. Here are the 3 I bought:
We went to Maurices. Now this store is OVERPRICED! At least LB has quality behind the clothes. Maurices is nothing more than an overpriced F21! Because I don’t have too many options when it comes to in store shopping I decided to make a purchase. I needed a shrug to go over the tank. Because my birthday is next week I really didn’t want to take the chance of ordering something and not receiving it in time. The shrug I found was very thin and black and was priced at $32. With the item that my mother wanted we spent $67. I ended up returning my shrug 30 min later. It just wasn’t worth it…Plus I found something BETTER and CHEAPER from Ashley Stewarts.
This is what I bought/returned in less than 1 hour:
From Ashley Stewarts I purchased a belerro type of shrug. It has a lace back and the front is loosely reminiscent of a blazer type of jacket. It only cost $15! Better quality and cheaper price!
Now I could not find a picture of the cardigan that I purchased from Ashley Stewart but it has a lace back. The front puts you in the mind of a blazer but it is not structured. It just has lapels. I hope that's clear. Also it is waist length in the back and hangs longer in the front. I purchased a size 18. It was on clearance for $19.99 with an additional 30% off. yay me.

Torrid Haul(tiny)
I was going to save my Torrid Haul (all of two items) and combine it with my Wet Seal Haul (3 items) but I just couldn't wait!...lol.....I am trying to come up with the perfect T-Day (birthday) outfit which gives me a reason to shop. That and the fact that I have been sick!...But Im doing much better....Maybe it's because I'm getting packages...lol. Anyways here are the two things I bought from Torrid.....
Silver Layered Chain Skeleton Key Necklace
Black Studded Convertible Bucket Bag
Silver Layered Chain Skeleton Key Necklace
I can't quite remember how much the necklace would cost normally but I got it during 50% off clearance. This is really the only time I shop at Torrid. The quality is just not up to par for the price. I'd rather give my money to Lane Bryant...At least I know the quality is there. Anyways I eneded up getting the necklace for $3.05. =] It felt a little heavy when taking it out of the package but quickly dissappears upon wearing. According to the website the shortest chain (with keys) is 18" and the longest key is 2.5" long. It is a really nice necklace and will be a great addition to my jewelry collection.
Black Studded Convertible Bucket Bag
With my discount I paid $5.01 for this bag! Great deal. It is studded on the front like the picture shows. The rest is a leatherette type of material. The inside is black. It has the basic pockets. A zip pocket inside and two slot pockets for a cell phone or keys. On the back of the purse it has a zippered pocket where you can keep items as well. To convert the purse into a backpack you would simply take the strap and fasten it to the bottom of the bag. The is a snap part that you would unsnap and hook around the strap. This sounds much more complicated than it really is. Unfortunately the bag was sold out when I tried to find the picture to show what I mean. Great bag for the price! =]
Updated on 12/04/10: Picture of the back of purse
^
The strap that unsnaps so that you can hook the strap in and wear it as a backpack.
I am happy with my purchase. I am upset that shipping is $8 considering I only ordered two things for so cheap. My items came to less than $10 before the shipping charges....grrrrrrr! On the up side I ordered the items on monday and received them friday. Torrid has always had fast shipping. Forever 21 needs to take a page out of their book!
=]
update 12/04/10
I forgot to mention that Torrid shipped me the purse with the sensor tag on it. I did not notice until I went into a store and made the sensor go off. Talk about embarrassing! I was nowhere near a Torrid store so I had my friend damn near saw the sensor off. Luckily it came off.
Faith 21/Forever 21+ Haul
I wanted to include everything from my Forever 21 Haul....

http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=beauty%5Fcosmeticbag&product%5Fid=1085652670&Page=1
This bag is a plastic feel on the outside. The inside is a plain light pink color. The bag also comes in a darker pink. Good enough for throwing in your purse.
2. Rhinestone Hoop Earrings ($4.80)
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=acc%5Fearrings&product%5Fid=1083497066&Page=all&pgcount=25&sort=lp
These earrings are a nice size and perfect way to spice up any outfit. I'm glad I decided to purchase these!
3. Rhinestone Encrusted Earrings ($6.80)
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=acc%5Fearrings&product%5Fid=1084521450&Page=all&pgcount=25&sort=lp
I honestly thought these earrings would be much bigger. Goes to show that you have to pay more attention to the description of earrings on the website. The earrings have are definately pretty but not worth the price. I guess that's where the rhinestones come into play. To me they are more line $3.80 or maybe $4.80 but for the price of $6.80 they should be a tad larger!
4. V-Neck Top ($8.80) (purple/navy and black/grey)
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=faith%5Fmain&product%5Fid=2078801595&Page=all&pgcount=20&sort=lp#
I ordered a 2X (which is my usual size in most stores) because I wanted to make sure the shirt was fitted. I love long sleeved shirts that you can put your hands in. What I mean by this is that the sleeves are long on me so they will gather slightly at the wrist. The shirt stretches and will be fitted. If you want a more relaxed fit I say go one size larger as this shirt is suppose to fit fitted. They do carry one other color that I did not purchase.
5. Regular Fab Skinny Jeans ($11.50) (indigo and black)
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=faith%5Fmain&product%5Fid=2077413813&Page=all&pgcount=20&sort=lp
As previously posted I ordered these jeans in a size 20. Forever 21 did not have an updated size chart so I did not know the measurments for their size 20 but the pants do fit. I was shocked that for the price I paid, these are actually jeans and not leggins/jeggins. I am 5'6" and the regulars are a tad long on me so like the models you can either roll them up or have that "scrunched" affect. The jeans do have give in them but fit close to the body like skinny jeans naturally do. They are indeed a great purchase and I am so glad I was able to pick them up!
I made another order with Forever 21 but I have not received it yet....
I ordered:
Basic Knit Leggings ($6.50)
Navy
I ordered a 3X. I do want to order more of the leggings but I first want to see how these fit before I splurge due to the lame return policy Forever21 has.
I also ordered two rings:
Grand Dame Cocktail Ring ($3.80)
Large Faceted Ring ($3.80)

REGULAR FAB SKINNY JEANS
REGULAR FAB SKINNY JEANS
I am in love with these jeans/leggins. I've ordered a pair in each color and I can't wait to receive them. I will def keep you updated of the fit!
This is the Denim Black Color:
This is the Indigo Color:
I really hope they fit. This will be my first clothing order from Forever 21. I have been skeptical to order because of the return policy. Basically you have to pay for return shipping if the items dont fit in order to get your money back. I dont think that's fair since the Faith 21 or the newly renamed Forever 21+ is not available in all stores. I ordered a size 20. Will keep you posted!
