What I Wore Wednesday....Sheer Shirts

Happy New Year Friends!!

I hope you all had a wonderful & safe New Year's Eve!

Ours was pretty low key....my parents had offered to keep the kids for us, so we decided to go out to dinner & catch a movie. Dinner was delicious, but we were bummed to find out that the movie theater was closed due to the projection of bad weather. We ended up stopping by Redbox on the way home, rented a couple of movies & spent the rest of the evening on the couch, in our p.j.'s.....not a bad night if you ask me! :)

Did you guys do anything exciting?!

Some of you may know that my birthday was just a couple weeks back. With my birthday & Christmas falling so close together, I usually have a small surplus of cash to spend. Some of that money goes towards things that I need or want for the house (I've bought a few things for our master bedroom that I hope to share with you soon), but because I also love clothes, I usually end up spending a good amount of my birthday/Christmas cash on a new winter wardrobe! So, I thought I would take a minute today to share with you a few new items that I recently added to my closet if that's okay with y'all?!

I found this cute chevron top at Rue 21 a few weeks back.....




It was a steal at just $19.99 and I just love how it fits! I liked it so well, that I also bought another one in a different color combination! :) It's sheer, so I have been wearing it with a white tank underneath and pairing it with my skinny jeans & boots. The boots are also a new addition to my wardrobe. I bought them at Target & I absolutely LOVE them!

Chevron top-Rue 21
White tank-Old Navy
Skinny Jeans-Kohls
Boots-Target
  
I bought another sheer top  while shopping with my mom & grandma a couple weeks ago...



This one is a pink & gray plaid. The combination of the colors & the sheer fabric give this shirt such a cute, feminine feel. It's definitely one of my favorites to wear!

Pink plaid top-Gordmans
White tank-Old Navy
Skinny jeans-Kohls
Boots-Target

Have you bought any new clothes lately?! Have you all been seeing these sheer tops when you've been out shopping?! I feel like they are everywhere!!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm kind of obsessed!! I have a total of 5 in my closet right now.....it's a little crazy! I'm seriously gonna have to walk away the next time I see one that catches my eye!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  9. Cute cute! I have decided to start taking advantage of all the clearance sales and putting away for next Christmas. Scored 3 Rosalina smocked dresses for 11.00 & 12.00 each for my granddaughters ! And a velour jog set for 12.50, with fur trim -very snazzy ! -for my mom-in-law. Now for some sheer shirts!

  11. Loving that chevron top..I bought one too, in a different color, but I have yet to blog it. It's a little cold for me to wear it, so I'm a little jealous that it looks nice and warm where you are :)

  12. I also had some Christmas cash to spend, and got a few new things - wishing I had seen that chevron top when I was spending it! It's great. And you look so pretty in these! :)

  13. Just this morning I spent some of my clothes money on workout clothes. I have an addiction and it's baaaad. I kind of have a reputation at my gym because I have so many workout clothes and towels to match and shoes...........it's really a sin.

  14. I love that top! How does it fit? I want to order it but I have never bought anything from Rue 21 so I don't know how their sizes run.

    1. Hi Colette! I feel like the tops are pretty true to size! I bought a medium which is what I usually wear in my other tops. I would say just order whatever size you would normally go with!
