Shopping is so much fun!

>> Sunday, January 10, 2010

I spent the last of my Christmas money on a trip to The Limited today! I had a gift card there plus some cash but even then, I still spent $100 over that.  Oops.

I have to wear a suit everyday to work. I've worn the same black pant suit for over 5 years! Do any of you remember the store Casual Corner or Petite Sophisticate? They went out of business years ago and that's where I got my black suit!

Needless to say, it was time for a new one. I noticed this past week that I've burned holes into the elbows of the jacket from normal wear and tear. It lasted me a long time (and still fit, so that's good) but it was definitely time for a new one!

I'm happy to report I got a 3-piece set including a skirt, pants, and jacket! They're even hemming the pants for free for me! How cool is that?  One thing I learned today about The Limited black suit collection is that every year they change the style of pants or jackets but they use the same fabric year over year so your pieces always match. That's one thing I love because each year I can add a piece and the blacks will match!

Here's the first outfit- the skirt with a cute leopard print blouse and a little sweater over it.



And here's the 2nd- the pants with the jacket plus a little sweater vest that I also bought!



You'll have to excuse the pictures once again. Our camera is broken so we've been using our phone.

Until tomorrow,

Nice! I personally have not shopped at the limited in a long time but it's because their clothes are not cut right for my build. they look great on you though. I'm expecting you to add anther tab for "fashion" to your blog any day now.

Cute clothes! I need new work clothes too but haven't gotten around to it. And, I loved Petite Sophisticate, so sad it went under...

Very cute, Kelsa! Clothes shopping can be fun, but it sure adds up fast, doesn't it?!

My sister wore that same ruffled shirt for christmas, but in cream and black! :)

i lovedddd casual corner. reasonably priced, (awesome sales), and stylish work clothes. express is stylish too obviously but doesn't seem to have great quality to me, especially not for the price.

anywho. new digs look cute!
