So, I've recently made the decision to leave my science career behind me and pursue something completely different--something I've been dreaming of since I started college--FASHION! No, not design. I'll leave that to my sister. I LOVE to shop, and lately, I haven't been able to put my mind on anything but, so I decided to pursue fashion merchandising and buying! This was by-no-means a spontaneous decision. I've spent long hours of being miserable in my lab coat and reading my healthcare books and dreaming of what I will wear tomorrow under my lab coat. Wish me luck!
For those of you who are broke with an addiction to shopping like me, here are a few pretty things I've found at exceptional prices. I still can't afford it, but I hope everyone else can find them useful!

So one color I've always been fond of was turquoise. The color is bright, but still feminine. It goes well with a lot of other colors even though itself is so outstanding. Modish found this really great pair of turqoise drop leaf earrings from Miss Misa. I just love the simplicity of the drop earing and the rustic detail to the leaf makes it look delicate and antique. It's only $24! I'm not usually an earring-wearer, but I can imagine this pair of earrings going with many pieces in my closet.

Next, I've been eye-ing these blue bangles from Target for a very long time. They're only $9, but I am currently unemployed, so $9 for an accessory is a bit steep for me at the moment. They're simple, light-weight, and bold.

Now these peeptoes are from PAYLESS! can't you believe it? Payless is really impressing me lately. They're really trying and its beginning to show. These are faux croc-skin peep-toes for $19.99.
