Friday FIND | Clutch & Crossbody Crazy!

Ever notice a trend in your buying habits?
Where you go from having absolutely nothing of something
and then, you turn around and wonder how you’ve acquired so many?
Do you have a forever buying habit?
Where you always go for that particular color or style of something?
Like multiple pairs of dark wash skinny jeans? Gingham button ups?
My forever buying habit trend is that I automatically gravitate
 toward the white option of a nice tank top or blouse.
Although, in the last year,
hues or blue have easily trumped any other color option
and is quickly becoming the most dominant color in my wardrobe.
In January / February, I found that trend of mine to be peplum.
I went from having zero to seven in what felt like a blink of an eye.
In the last month, I’ve noticed that
I have now switched gears to accessories.
My bright-colored crossbody purse and clutch count
has gone up 80% in that amount of time.
Yes, I got mathematical with this.
J. Crew

If you’ve read my “Lime Pop” entry
you know how I feel about neon:
“If it isn’t neon, it shouldn’t be on!”
It’s such a compliment to an otherwise mediocre outfit,
or the icing on the cake to an already amazing one!
When I was perusing J. Crew’s new sale items,
that are currently (in store and online) an additional 30% off,
I spotted this lime green
(could be considered highlighter yellow in pictures
but clearly lime green in person)
crossbody purse that I just nonchalantly grabbed
and wore it around the store, while I finished shopping.
I couldn’t not buy it.

NOTE: Do not buy this purse online.
Go to your local J. Crew & see if they have a bunch there.
If they don’t, call J. Crew Customer Service
or ask a J. Crew sales associate or manager to locate one for you.
(TIP: They have about seven left at the Town Center location in Jacksonville, Florida)
The reason why is because the sale price is NOT $119.99
like it says on the website.
It is $64.99 with an additional 30% taken off of that price,
(unless they changed it since Wednesday, which would be weird)
AANDDD you can use your 15% student discount with this sale, too.
That comes out to roughly … $39.00.

J. Crew Factory
This clutch is a great accessory piece,
when you just want something cute under your arm
and don’t have a lot to carry with you.
It’s definitely not the roomiest clutch,
but come on, who doesn’t love to add a nice little pop of pink?!
It’s perfect for the Spring and Summer months!
Another great thing about it:
It’s an extra 30% off when you buy in online.

I think the reason why I am promoting this crazy obsession I have
is because I despise carrying a purse on my arm in the summertime.
The temperatures are too hot,
and my energy level goes down as the humidity goes up here in Florida,
so the absolute last thing that I need
is to feel like my arms are getting a work out
while I’m just trying to enjoy myself and socialize comfortably.

And, really … in all seriousness …
(and in my experience)
in the summertime,
you just never know when & where
a spontaneous dance party could take place.
And, when that happens,
I want to let loose, have fun,
and not worry about where I had to put my purse down
because its was weighing down one side of my body,
and thus, prohibiting my stellar dance moves.

So, I gravitate towards easy …
take as little with you as you can
throw it in something that can just hang on you
or won’t be too annoying to carry,
and just go!

And, thankfully, I’ve found that going with easy …
can be fun!

Happy Happy Friday, y’all!!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend!
With LOVE & sequins,
Haley
