Sooo... We didn't end up going to the Korean spa today. Chase's dad is here visiting us for a few days and we didn't want to make things awkward for him....or us. But we are going next weekend so I will make sure to give you a detailed report minus the nakeys.
I should be in a hair commercial. As you can see, I've been practicing.
Over the summer, I won a $1,500 JCPenney gift card through a giveaway hosted by College Fashion...which is how I've been getting a lot of JCPenney items for free. Um, YES - I was totally ecstatic when I found out...and then I realized it's JCPenney. Their merchandise is overpriced and of cheap quality as are all department stores' minus the ritzy ones. So we decided to save our gift cards and buy a new couch....which we haven't done yet. Well, we went shopping today and I headed to Penney's to see if they had anything I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear and I found this rhinestone necklace similar to this one. I'd never pay $20 for it but I would and did with imaginary money. The end.
Wearing JCPenney rhinestone necklace (free with gift card), Hanes men's t-shirt ($9 for 8-pack), Aeropostale jeans ($20), and JCPenney heels (free with gift card).
I love how simple this outfit is. And I'm incredibly jealous of your giftcard win. I actually find really cute things at JCPenney's when they have sales...lots of cute skirts and dresses in the misses department, and big gaudy jewelry. I'm not afraid of cheap clothes if they look good! Haha. Usually I just take good care of them and they last me a long time!

Imaginary money totally has different rules, duh!

I love that you wear men's Hanes V-necks too! They are ultra cozy and come in a 5-pack so I know that there are some peeps who wonder if I ever wash my clothes...... so pumped to see you like them too!
ReplyDeletep.s. love the new bling.
Do not, I repeat, do NOT apply for a JCP credit card to get the discount on your couch! Darin and I learned that the hard way when we were newlyweds. I'm sure you are smarter than we were! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is enviable!
Kudos to your photographer--in the 2nd to last picture it looks like you're floating because there's almost no shadow on the floor in front of you.
ReplyDeletelovee ur heels!! pretty :)) this outfit is kinda similar with ur "asian american" post. :D
ReplyDeleteanyway,, u r so lucky to win $1500gift card!! spend it wisely :DD

ReplyDeleteand i love your hair commercial pic--you do have great hair!
Congrats on winning that $1,500 gift card! I hope you find something worth buying. Maybe Black Friday? After Christmas sale?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the over priced part at JCPenny.
Just Better Together
You look so good with the boyfriend jeans! So feminine with the shoes!
ReplyDeleteThe necklace is definitley really pretty. I love how it's such a statement piece.

I really like this outfit. I love the casual tee paired with the rhinestone necklace, adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome giveaway to win!! I love your shoes :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine! I haven't been around here lately, but I just read through your last nine posts and I have to say that your aesthetic is becoming even more sophisticated and beautiful! I just adore that necklace you found at JCP too.
ReplyDeleteWow, $1500 GC nice.
ReplyDeleteLike this simple outfit. Can't go wrong with a white tee and pants my dear.

ReplyDeleteLoving this whole outfit :D

Oooh, hopefully you'll find something awesome to buy with that gift card, Miss Prettyhairs! :D I'm liking those pretty heels. <3
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this outfit and congratulations on winning!
ReplyDeleteI love the classic look. And just so you know, i look at your blog evvvryday, but usually don't have the patience to wait for my computer to allow me to comment, but I think in my head what my comment would be, and then it's the end of it... and they're always super complimentary :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like life is good in CA :)
A basic but very cute look! I'm not a big fan of JCP either; now if it was a Macy's card, that would make all of the difference..
ReplyDeleteI love the mixture of white-tee-slouchy-jeans/necklace-colorful-heels! It looks so casual but stylish, too.
ReplyDeleteI love how the necklace and heels dress up this outfit! Very cute. I think buying a couch from JCP is smart, I can never find any cute clothes there either, although you've seemed to have good luck with the things you've found there.
ReplyDeletesimple and sweet... love this look... it happens to be my sort-of go to look tee great statment necklace, jeans and amazing shoes... can't go wrong!
ReplyDeleteyou are gorgeous girl!

I'm living for your heels, they totally take this outfit to another level. So good! Amazing as usual :)
ReplyDeleteclothes are cute
Lucky girl! I really like this simple yet dressed up outfit. Good call with the necklace, and I love Hanes t-shirts. A must have.
ReplyDeletei love this outfit! so simple and solid. good work, you :) also jealous of the free clothes!
ReplyDeleteKorean day spas were one of my favorite things about LA. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely checking out those Hanes men's t-shirts!
ReplyDeleteYou look great, as always. I have been loving all the JCPenny things you have been wearing, especially those heals.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes - nice job rocking the hair!
The Auspicious Life
Elaine--I like today's shirt better than yesterday's shirt. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope JCP doesn't decide to "sponsor" your blog ... wish I could've won it! I luv JCP ...
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift card to have won...$1500! WOW!
ReplyDeleteThat being said - great choice with the T and the HEELS!! They are just divine!
xoxo,
Carrie
WOW! That is quite the gift card! My husband and I would probably use it to buy a couch too. Or maybe a table. Clearly we are lacking in the furniture department.
ReplyDeleteI envy you and your slouch perfected style!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the casual elegance of this outfit. This is definitely a winner!
ReplyDeleteI love the simplicity of this outfit, so cute!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh OK.... Now I understand the whole JCP thing haha. Awesome!
