If you didn't know already, Chase and I went to Sacramento for the weekend for his sister's wedding. We played photographers and took their wedding pictures...actually, Chase took their pictures and I bossed my SIL and her new husband around. I loved it.

The end result
Notice anything new and different? I'M WEARING ALL NEW CLOTHES!!!! This has never happened on Clothed Much before either. I just went shopping-crazy over the weekend. Chase didn't know who I was. Neither did I. It was fun for a little.
- thrifted Express white blazer, $3 -- Got it for 50% off! It fits sooo perfect!!!! I threw it in the washer to get the thrift store smell out and it came out all squished and crinkly :(. I read the inside tag and it said DRY CLEAN ONLY. Then I cried :''''(. Then Chase ironed it out and it looks as good as new!! I love irons!! and Chase!!
- JCPenney gold beaded necklace, FREE -- Yes, I still have a little bit of moneys left on my gift card. My niece said it looked like a Nerds candy rope. So I bought it.
- MNG by Mango sunnies were also bought with the gift card. I already had these from before. You can buy them here.
- green tunic thing from Target, $16 -- It was for my leggings. (See this post.) You can buy it here.
- Target black leggings, $20 -- It was for my tunic. (See this post.) You can buy them here.
- Fitzwell black flats, $75 -- My H&M flats were getting stinky and uncomfortable. They were only subs until I found some durable, comfy, wide ones. So far Chase doesn't think they're worth $75. Whatever, guy. You can buy these here.

i really like these outfit shots! and you look like such a bad-a in those sunnies! work it, girl!
My boyfriend also does not appreciate shoes that are over $50. To him, any shoe that displaces $50 is "a ripoff". Psh.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your outfits. You are beautiful and so is your husband. :) x
Hey, we all need to splurge on a few pieces every once in a while...specially good shoes (like classic black flats)! My theory is, "if you don't spoil yourself every once in a while, who will?" :D
The outfit looks great! Glad you guys had fun at the wedding! :D

aw love your new outfit! so chic!!
Haha your story about ruining your blazer was adorable. I used to ruin my clothes sometimes too by throwing silk into the laundry/ dryer. Sometimes I still mess up! But thankfully my clothes are forgiving..
love the new outfit!
Elaine! You look GREAT in your new clothes. But then, you always look great, even in the old ones. Totally a fan of the new blazer and Chase for saving the day. Yaaaay for husbands!
fun weekend, great ring shot. and i LOVE that outfit. great finds!!
You achieved every model and actor's dream--you got to direct!!!
Good choices on the new clothes. Somehow you look like a celebrity in the thrifted blazer. pretty amazing.
You definitely look amazing here! That thrifted blazer is my favorite! Your whole outfit fits you to a tee!

I absolutely ADORE this outfit. It is beautiful. Just perfection. You look lovely Elaine!

ELAINE! I mean it when I say EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZING. That photo of the rings is so good! And your outfit! Holy sophisticated.
someone said to me that you should spend your money on good beds and good shoes, so the flats are fine :)

Now, the real question is, is that tunic REALLY green, or is it grey...
Great great outfit. One of my very favs!

I'm sure you guys were amazing photographers! The picture of the hands looks amazing.
And the black and white look is amazing! I love the white blazer.
Gorgeous jacket - wish Chase could do my ironing. You look amazing in this outfit. I'm sure the wedding photos are going to be great. Chase does such a good job on your pix.
I'm kind of amazed at your thrifting skills. I've been searching for the perfect blazer forever, and nothing seems to pop up. This one is super cute!
love the new clothes! But I never felt you were wearing the same things over and over as you combine them in such amazing ways! You're my inspiration for finding new ways to wear my clothes. I can't wait to see your new outfits with these pretty new clothes included!
You look so gorgeous, darling!
Lovely post!

Woohoo for shopping sprees!!! You did an amazing job with the moola :D
I LOVE the outfit with the white blazer

I have that same top from Target... I haven't thought of wearing it with leggings though - I love this outfit!
You look very sharp! Love it ... Yay! for new stuff!

Head to toe, this outfit is superb! I think I'll continue the leggings trend with you and make leggings+blazers a part of my spring/summer uniform (right there with silk pants+cami).
wow, i pic of the hubs?! too good to be true, haha!love that outfit as well, elaine!
Your outfits are gorgeous, I especially like the white blazer look.. I've been looking for the perfect one for so long and have yet to find it
Congratulations on your shopping excursions! And hooray for your new SIL!
I really enjoy the blazer look. It's comfy and the perfect amount of effortless California businessy. And that green tunic is wonderful :)

Great new purchases! Love the blazer ... you'd be so welcome to be bossy and take my wedding pictures!

You must be good at being bossy because the picture turned out great, as I'm sure did all the others.
This whole outfit is so well put together but I love the necklace I think it really polishes off the look.

Well don't you just look super fly in your new clothes, lady?! Seriously though, love the outfit. :D
pretty :)http://urbanprettygirl.blogspot.com/
You look great! Loving the new clothes-I'm glad Chase was able to resuscitate your blazer. I like the wedding pics too, I love a white dress with a black sash, gorgeous!
Very nice classy look.
great save Chase - the iron never works for me on blasers and stiff fabrics...i may need an upgrade, I definately need a blaser upgrade after seeing yours!
e, great job! great new duds too:) btw, a nerds candy rope would be yum.
I really like the jacket you're wearing!

That rope necklace is great! Doesn't it feel good to wear all new clothes?

You look like the epitome of chic! i love it!!!
Yes! It felt so weird. I'm not used to it!!
Congrats to the bride and groom! Wow, you look a bit different and chic with your new buys. :)
the fitzwell flats will be SO worth it -- i have a few pairs of fitzwell shoe's i've snagged from the discount site 6pm.com and i LOVE them. so comfy and they wear really, really well. (p.s. put these in your flats and wash them ON GENTLE when they start getting stinky. they will make shoes you wear sans socks last even longer).
Lovely story + photos!
Dang girl you get a taste of being a boss, and then you go on shopping spree. Nothing wrong with that. I really like the tunic top, and the white blazer is supa fresh. Congrats to your sister and her new hubby!!
Love the olive blouse! I bought it too but had to return once I tried it on at home and found it wasn't made for short munckins : (
Love your outfit! Weddings are so fun. Being bossy is too! :)
you are SO cute, and yayyyy for new clothes!! also, looks like you were a good boss for a day :)
Comfortable shoes are priceless, in my opinion. :)
That top picture? Perfection. I love how in love you are with each other.
really nice style!!
If you want follow me on blogger I will do the same!http://freakyfriday-sabrina.blogspot.com
I love the hand holding photo! It's a great shot :D
And I'm loving the Express blazer on you - the fit and color look great on you!
um, i absolutely LOVE this outfit...hands down my favorite! i just bought a couple blazers from my local thrift store and am so freaking excited about it, but yeah, dont love the thrift store stank on the clothes!
I loooove your new outfit! So chic! I can't believe the blazer was only $3! It fits you perfectly! Your comment blew my mind a little bit - saying that it looks like Atlantic Pacific! I am hoping that's a good thing and not a "your'e copying her" kind of comment! I definitely didn't intend to copy, but she is one of my style icons, for sure! So a huge thank you if you meant it in a good way! ;)
Ahhhh, you were on Temple Hill???!?? Dude, I'm from Folsom and when I'm not away at school I go to church there, at the Mormon Center building! I love this. Sacramento temple is beeeeeautiful.
A new outfit! So fun. It's been a while since I had one of those, but I remember how it feels... :)
Aw, so cute! Looks fun, too. Also, it has been FOR EV ER since I had a brand new outfit. Methinks this weekend will be for shopping!
