Saturday has never been a day that I would venture out to go shopping. Well, let me rephrase - after working retail for 17 years, I knew better than to go shopping on a Saturday, the day 'everyone else' had off. But I couldn't help myself. I was feeling a bit stir crazy and needed to feel the warm California sunshine against my face. So I hopped in my jeep and headed to Crossroads Trading company off of West San Carlos and this is what I scored:

Heavy like tapestry. The flowers are so tropical and the pleating at the empire waist line slimmingly draws the eye up as the flat gathering on the skirt covers any tummy concerns.
So I was running such a high from the deals, I headed over to their other San Jose location on Blossom Hill.
This 100% silk Juicy Couture top still has the tag attached.

From a denim skirt to white trousers - this will be a 2012 winner!
Ok ok - I know it's soooo "old lady" but... it's
