Outfit of the day. The $3 black skinnies.

Old Navy had an amazing sale this past weekend, and I scored these pants. No you didn't misread the title. These pants were $3, actually $2.87 if you want to get specific. I don't own any black pants, and I have wanted a pair of skinny ones for a long long time. Nice black pants are very hard to find at my thrift store, and I haven't had luck finding any.

Jacket- Hollister. Top- Gadzooks. Pants- Old Navy. Shoes- Go Maxx. Bracelet- Thrifted. Necklace- Steve and Barry's. Earrings- Thrifted.

Want to hear the most ridiculous thing ever? I had a hard time styling these pants. It felt like I had nothing to wear with them. Yet, I could wear everything with them. Don't make fun of me. I'm a lost cause.

I really love the piano, and guitar screen print on the tank. I've had it for 6 or 7 years now. I bought it in a store called Gadzooks. It was a sister store of Forever 21. I think they all are out of business now. When I was in high school I thought it was the coolest store in the world. Then it just up, and closed on me.

With all my heart,
<3 Vanessa

  2. Um. Love. And I'm going to start going shopping with YOU. I need those pants, TOO! I have a really hard time styling things that go with too much, as well. I like when things go with a hand full of other things, not a whole closet full of other things! It gets to be confusing that way!

  5. You are the queen of thrifts/sales, and I definitely think you did the skinnies justice with that rock t-shirt + bracelet, and that little denim jacket.

  9. Time to ditch that jacket... or dye it a darker wash. Looks too dated.

  11. I am so jealous! I also went to Old Navy this weekend looking for some new jeans (especially black skinnies) and none of them fit me! :( I did still get a white pair and a couple sweaters, which were all great, but it definitely disappointed me. Ha! Anyway, love the blog! :)

  18. I went looking for jeans too, and there were only a few pairs. That sale was killer.

  19. AH, Gadzooks! I loved that store, I always bought my bathing suits from them and was a lost puppy when they closed! Love those cute flats :)

  20. Wow! Wish I got to check out that sale- ammmmazzinnng buy!! Love your blog!

  21. If you liked them, then you will like Forever 21. Forever 21 produced their clothing, and Gadzooks was one of their smaller stores.

  22. Thank you! I think it may still be going on, it's worth popping into your Old Navy, or calling them to find out.

  23. $3 dollar pants?! I mean NOT EVEN $3 dollar pants! Gawsh you're good. Funny, I also got my first pair of black skinnies this year and have not really worn them. I don't know what it is either, lol.

  25. I totally love this outfit!! :)
    'specially the jacket and the flats. So neat!!
    Yeah, but I know what you mean. Sometimes the easiest clothes are to style the hardest! Same here.
    But: you did a great job. :)

    XO.
