in(doc)trinated

It was quite a long journey to become in(doc)trinated...

which ended at the Dr. Martens store in NYC to finally pick out a pair that fits! 

It all started when I found these sparkle boots on the Dr. Martens website 

in the "Big Kids" section,

I thought I measured my foot correctly, but alas I was wrong...

They are so sparkly and beautiful but they are like two sizes too big...

and are no longer on the website,

it is really annoying that you can't return online Dr. Martens orders in store 

😒

 They were also shedding lots of sparkles so... 

I opted for a more classic style with these, 

ordered a "Little Kids" size 3 & they fit but they wouldn't zipper, 

so I decided to finally go to the store

I ended up with a "Little Kids" size 4 and they are perfect!

Not ashamed that I can fit into a kids boot plus it saves some 💵 

As Docs puts it in this email...

"Small Soles Same Rebel Spirit"

What I Wore: glasses- GlassesUSA Hilary Duff, lips- Adesse "Thames Street" via Ipsy, earrings + necklace- Julie Vos, top- thrifted, pants- Black House White Market {thrifted}, boots- Dr. Martens

Throwback to one of my favorite manicures recently, 

this black and white polka dot mani using 

Lights Lacquer "Tuxedo Mask" + "Paper Snow"

This @lightslacquer post 🔛 Instagram is quiteeeee accurate,

I have already painted my nails three times over the last week...

taking it to the maxi

I will admit that I purchased this skirt last year during a thrifting adventure in Denver, CO when we went for Charlie's work conference... and this is the first time I am wearing it...

What I Wore: glasses- Warby Parker Sinclair in Midnight Blue, hot pink blazer- thrifted Rescue Mission in Trenton, pink ruffle top- GAP, black & silver belt- Alloy.com, black & white maxi skirt- ARC Thrift store in Denver, CO, black studded flats- Forever 21.

I also have been trying my hardest not to get these: 

Steve Madden Intyce boots in Cognac for $149.95 

I have stalked these on What Would A Nerd Wear's blog 

and I think I am going to make them mine soon =)

It is making me realize that some people can really live & not eat anything.
No soda, candy, white bread, pasta, meat. & I am only on the 3rd chapter.... let's see how this goes

So I know what you must be thinking, "girl another pair of boots?!"- I admit it... I have a shopping problem. 

But anyhow, this is my latest purchase: 

Courtsey of: SweetToothVintage

They were originally $40 but they are having a huge sale (50% off everything!!- Check it outttt) so they came out to be $24! I am so excited to rock them!!

I had to have them especially since I let a similar pair go from SallyJaneVintage. 

a little late night shopping never hurt anyone... right?

ALSO: I have decided to take on the 30/30 Spring Challenge starting in March. 

30 articles of clothing for 30 days 

& NO SHOPPING. So stay posted =)

(( have to wait until like 3rd week in March to start since I am going to Colorado with the fiance 

& must do some shopping with the change of scenery ))

Have a great weekend <3
