Anyways, I love going to Oregon because they have no sales tax! Where I live in Washington, sales tax in 9.5%. It kills me. So, when we are in Oregon my family take full advantage of these "discounted" prices. I got three pairs of pants and two shirts.
I only shopped at two stores: Vanilla Urban Threads and American Eagle. Vanilla is a local store who's stock and price range is a cross between Urban Outfitters and Antropologie. You can't buy anything online, but they update their facebook regularly. If you're ever in Bend, OR, go there. You won't regret it.
The two shirts are I got are great staple pieces. The first is a statement blouse while the other one is a simple t-shirt. I love the statement blouse because it can be worn up or down.
Outfit 1
This is the first pair of pants. They fit really well in the thighs and butt, but of corse, they're too long. For the short term (and for these photos) I just roll them. Rolled jeans can look really cute, just some times it's annoying to have all of your pants rolled. These are also a great addition to my wardrobe because I didn't have any colored pants. These make a statement with out being in your face about it.
Outfit 2
The other two pairs of pants I bought were from American Eagle. I prefer unique stores, but I have to give-in for their jeans. They stock short jeans like no other store. I don't need to roll these jeans which almost never happens to me when it comes to pants! I got skinny jeans in black and gray-purple-y colour (I just checked their website; they are apparently "putty-brown").
Here's the link for these amazing, well fitting pants
