Being the fashionista I once was. I feel the need to have a new Greece wardrobe. Here is what I already bought for the trip. Remember it will be fall over there too. The highs will be in the upper 60s and I'm assuming chilly nights.
I can wear this awesome jacket I was swooning over earlier this year and bought on sale from forever 21.
During Missouri's tax free weekend Brian was buying clothes for his upcoming trip to San Diego and bought me this top from Forever 21. I love that it is a little oversized and blousey.
He also bought me this hat at forever 21 for $3.50. Can't beat it. It's really soft and cute. I had a navy one I bought a few springs ago but it went missing over a year ago. I was not happy about that. I'm glad I have another one.
I would really like something like this sweater from Gap. It kinda has that "I'm an airplane sweater" look written all over it. It will keep me cozy and comfy on the plane and then be perfect for an evening stroll on the beach in Santorini with rolled up skinny jeans.
During my stroll I would have to carry these great shoes. They are Steve Madden that I found on Piperlime.com. They are a canvas boat shoe. Perfect for Greece, don't you think?
This little sweater vest is from Anthropologie. I think it is great traveling item as well. It would help in dressing down any of your dresses or outfits for the day while adding a cute detail to the ensemble. I love the neutral undyed look of the fabric.
And lastly, I just REALLY want these boots. They are over the knee Frye boots. Of course they are a little out of my budget but they would be a great addition to my wardrobe. I'd probably wear them everyday of fall. I love you Frye over the knee boots! I found these on Piperlime.com.
I bought this awesome dress at work today. It is a knit, grey and white striped dress with a little braided brown leather belt. It just has a great airy feel. It looks like a dress I'm going to want to wear every other day in the summer. And here is the kicker.... $14.90! I know, right! First chance I get I'm wearing this with leggings and my sperry topsiders. 
I also bought this shirt from our new Love 21 line. Which is a more sophisticated look for forever. I really like their items. It is a soft woven breezy ruffle collar shirt. I thought this shirt would look great with a pencil skirt.
This is called the "Perfect Picnic Dress" it is $13.80. !#*) (That was 1380 in all caps, in case you were wondering). How awesome is this? That bad part is I already own something very similar and it is SO short. Only a girl who is 5'2" should try this on. I could add a band of 4" at the bottom, but would I? 
I've never really been one for wedges in general. Yet I keep finding myself putting these on all my mannequins. I think they are so cute. They are the perfect spring shade of brown. Who would have thought that the wedge I would go for is a huarache sandal. I do love my huarache sandals though!
I'm a visual merchandiser, which is a pretty fun job, but I never talk about it. Heck, I don't even know if I'm allowed to! Oh well, I only say good things about the company so it probably only helps. This week we just finished a new floor set. New floor sets come with new fashion seasons. Maybe you weren't aware but we are in full swing of RESORT. Resort is a fashion season that happens right after Christmas. It is meant for places like St. Louis. When it's cold and dreary in January many people go on a cruise....so this is what you would wear on one. I have section #1. It isn't really prestigious we just rotate, but I'm still pumped about it. Look at all the mannies I get to dress weekly. Aren't you jealous? So at the store I work for, XXI, we have cute little names for all of the sections and the above mannies are dressed in Yacht Club. 
This photo is more of the section, Yacht Club. It is a dressy, Chanel inspired nautical look.
This was just a fun bust form I got to do. They wanted the 'After Hours' section to have a hard edge to it. The section included some military inspired jackets, as well as hardware, grommets and such. So for the bust forms in this section they wanted me to put wide belts with studs and hardware across the chest like so to look like "bullet holsters." Brian says that no one calls them 'bullet holsters' bet the correct phrase would be ammo holsters. Either way I think it looks pretty BA. It was pretty hard to stretch the belt across the form and make sure it didn't slip out of place. But I think it was worth it.
