Asos, Topshop, Forever21 Purchases

I cannot wait till it is beautiful and warm outside!  As much as I love wearing winter coats and layering, I am looking forward to wearing my new spring clothes.  Here are the new additions:
Asos Petite Dip Hem Maxi Dress. Grey.  Size 1. 
I love love love the way this high-low maxi dress looks on me.  This photo does not do justice.  I'm only 5ft tall.  The front of the dress hits me at the knee.  The back is a little long, but nothing a small heel can't fix. The material is stretchy, and the color looks more gray in person than the photos on the Asos website.  Gorgeous!  
Asos Petite Top Leopard Print Peplum.  Size 1.   Sold Out. 
I love love love this top also.  When I first opened it from the packaging, my initial reaction was that it was going to be too small on me, but it fit perfectly.  It's made of a soft, stretchy material with a full zipper on the back.  I love the peplum style on this shirt.    
Topshop Petite Faux Leather Shorts.  Size 0.
My first purchase from Topshop are these shorts.  I must say, I am impressed.  I can think of so many ways to wear this.  The higher waist is a little snug on me.  I do not fancy short shorts; these are a good length.   
Forever 21 Chiffon High-Low Skirt. Black. Size S. 
Forever 21 Chiffon High-Low Skirt. Nude. Size S.
I saw these skirts on the website first, but while I was deciding which color I should get, they sold out in my size!  I called my local Forever 21, and rushed to try them on.  I automatically assumed that the smallest size was a size small and did not bother to look for an extra small size.  It is a little big, but for less than 15 bucks, I can't complain.  I bought them in black and nude although, I prefer the black more since the wrinkles don't show as much.  I'm still on the hunt for a pleated skirt.  
Forever 21 Lace Shirt.  Size XS. 
Forever 21 Daisy Print Palazzos. Size XS. 
These pants are interesting.  For a petite girl like me, they are probably not the right style I should be wearing.  These pants are sheer, wide legged, and flowy.  I couldn't resist buying them.   I will have to hem them and wear them with wedges.   It will be a sort of an experiment.

Ann Taylor Shoes

This is my first purchase at Ann Taylor.  I've shopped at LOFT before but for some reason I never thought I would find anything at Ann Taylor.   I was wrong.  
Ann Taylor Leopard Print Haircalf Perfect Flats Size 5. 
These flats are gorgeous and well made!  I'm a little worried they might slip off my feet when I walk, but putting in some feet cushions should help if needed.  I can't wait to wear them.  I needed to stop wearing my Tory Burch Reva flats because the elastic was starting to make my heel feel numb and tingly.  I hope it wasn't damaging my nerves.  
Ann Taylor Simona Shearling Wedge Booties Size 5. 
I know, I know... another pair of black wedge booties.  Sorry! I must be addicted to them.  I promise, this is the last of the season.  These wedges look more elegant and expensive compared to the ones from Aerosoles.   If I had purchased these first, I wouldn't have bought my Aerosoles boots.  These shoes run maybe half a size small (compared to the Ann Taylor Leopard Print Calfskin Perfect Flats).  I won't be able to wear these with thick winter socks. The heels are about 3 inches.  I'm not a fan of the zipper in the back since the zipper feels a little stiff, and I worry it might dig in to my heels!  I would have liked it better with the zipper on the inner side of the shoes.  Tip Toes Cushions are needed for added comfort.   

The quality of these shoes are superb, in my opinion.   
I can't wait till new spring/summer styles come out!

Kindle Books: Aftertime, Rebirth, and Horizon by Sophie Littlefield

I am terrified of zombies!  These books gave me nightmares, but I couldn't put them down!  I'm a little sad that I finished reading them.  I want more!  Good thing the new episode of "The Walking Dead" will be on this weekend. 


Argh... I'm scared.

Being scared is like being kind of sick right?
