I've got you under my skin

Well, hello everyone! It's been a crazy few days what with the holiday and various birthday parties over the weekend. My friend Pia celebrated her 22nd on Wednesday and led the charge on a bar hop through the heart of New Jersey (not my favorite thing to do - wayy too many bump its and fake tans for my liking), and Thursday was of course filled with family, food and great friends. My siblings and I throw our annual Thanksgiving party and this year's didn't disappoint :) Friday was spent out to dinner with my family for my brother's 26th (!), and then another night out on Saturday in Hoboken for my bestie Dave's 24th. Needless to say I am totally pooped, and my bank account is quite peeved at me!


And that's precisely why I totally can't afford to pick up all the things I've been eyeing on ASOS lately. I was a little underwhelmed for a few weeks there but they totally got me again with some of their new pieces. On my list right now:

 

The V Neck Biker Maxi Dress ($94.82). I can tell that my style has changed in the last few months because this is not something I think I would have even thought about getting in the past. Now though, it's way up there on my wish list. I'd love it for a night out styled like the pic - dark tights, heels, jewelry, I'd probably add a belt too, or this could work in the summer with bare legs and gladiators. The only thing that's stopping me from picking it up. Is the pricetag. With the exception of outerwear and occasion dresses, it's rare for me to drop more than $60 or so on any one piece (maybe jeans too, if they make my ass look great enough lol). ASOS does have good sales though, and I do have 10% off, so this baby is staying on my radar until the price is a little more my range.

The Wrap Front Ruched Sleeve Blouse ($44.82). Now this is much more attainable price-wise. I love this silhouette, it's so classic. This is a top that could definitely do double duty - under a blazer or tucked into a pencil skirt for work, or dressed up with tons of jewelry, leggings, and sexy boots for a night out.

 

The Jersey Puff Sleeve Zip Back Top. This is a top I've been eyeing for a few months, and now that it's only $34.48, it will definitely be in my next order. It's a similar style as the Wrap Front Blouse - very feminine, very girly, lots of pretty detail. I would love wearing this to work, and I'm sure the jersey fabric makes it super comfy. I usually order a US16 (UK20) from ASOS with no problem, but I think I'll size up in this to the 18 (22) so the front pleating lies correctly and doesn't pull.

The Khaki Biker Skinny Jeans ($62.06). I wouldn't call these khaki, they look more dark brown to me, but to each his own. I am loving the biker details on jeans lately - The stitching detail gives these so much more visual interest than if they were just plain old brown skinnies. And of course they're paired here with the Steve Madden Korset booties I've been having heart palpitations over...it's a sign!

Let's be real here, I think most of us could go on all day about things we want to buy, but these are four of my top picks at the moment. ASOS is still offering free shipping world wide, as well as up to 70% off in their clearance section, which is usually pretty good. Speaking of ASOS, don't forget to enter my ASOS Curve Giveaway! Happy shopping!
