Happy Sunday!

Tomorrow is Monday already. ALREADY! I hope your weekend went well!  Mine was alright.  Friday I went to Goodwill with my dad-  he was kind enough to get the clothes for me so Michael wouldn't yell at me, I got the PERFECT pencil skirt, another one, a couple pants, a couple shirts, a belt and a purse I love (haven't bought a purse in a year!).  Saturday, I had a nice date with Michael, we went to the Leesburg outlets in Virginia.  The way we went was a very scenic route, and the weather was perfect!  I didn't buy one thing.  Michael even said "So what?  You only by used clothes now?? You're not even looking at anything!" I thought it was kinda funny.  Anyway, wanted to share Friday and Saturdays outfits:

{Everything from Forever21: dress ($14), jacket (clearance $16?), sunglasses ($4)}

{belt: thrifted ($2)}

Saturdays outfit:

{jacket: rugged warehouse ($4), white tee- Forever 21 ($4), trousers: thrifted (5), belt: thrifted ($2), shoes: Nine West ($70)}

 {purse: thrifted ($5), bracelets: thrifted ($2), necklace: gift}

This outfit is really one of my favorites.  The only downside to these vintage high wasted trousers is that they don't do a lot for my butt.  Either way, I loved this outfit!  When we went to the outlets, I switched the shoes to the sandals seen here.  The outfit looked just as cute.

So, that's all folks! I hope you had a great weekend and are looking forward to a good week!

Rainy Day

It has rained non-stop for 24 hours.  I think they said 4-10''.  I don't know the totals as of now, but either way, whatevs.  I love rain.  But the rain is the reason why I wore heels today.  There were so many puddles by my house that flats or sandals wouldn't do me any good, so I threw together a very simple outfit and headed out.

{sephora lipstick: rouge cream line- "decollete 15" ($12)}

p.s. I didn't know where/how else to take any more creative pictures in my house, so the next one is a bit silly.

   {white tank: rue 21 ($4), round earrings: forever21 ($4), New York and Company cardigan: from Gabrielle Brothers ($2), Seven jeans: thrfited ($26), heels: TJ Maxx ($20)}

Check out one of my greatest vintage finds so far, this beautiful bracelet- the pic doesn't do it justice:

{green and yellow bracelet: Salvation Army ($3), elephant necklace: gift}

What is this last cheesy sepia one with the heart you ask?  Why, it's me and Michael's anniversary today! Haha, I am kinda a loser, I know.  Anyway, sometimes the simplest outfits can be the cutest.  None of what I am wearing is trendy, and this outfit could be worn for a casual work day, to the mall, or out for a date.  Perfect.

How could I dress this outfit up a bit?

I'm not going to tell you you can do it by shoes this time, like I normally do.  You could dress this up with a blazer.  Also, instead of a long necklace, a shorter, fuller necklace will not only dress it up, but add a romantic touch. They're usually called 'bib' necklaces (see pics below), and are really easy to find this fall season.  

{each necklace I quickly found on Forever21.com, $6, $12, $14}

Until next time....

And don't forget! Today is the last night of the giveaway! Tomorrow morning I will post the lucky winner!

Show and Tell

I had a all-of-a-sudden horrible migraine at work today.  It was one of the worsts I've ever had, it was almost embarrassing how painful it was and how non-functional I was for like 30 minutes (I work at a pain doctor and luckily, they helped me out with some meds).  I had a cute outfit I wanted to share, but since I look like hell, I'll do a show and tell with a few things I have recently bought (because I'm psychotic and buy things when I don't have much money).


First, 3 vintage aprons I found on ebay for $10.  I have been wanting an apron for a while, and though they aren't the full size kind I wanted, I still thought they were totally cute.  Maybe I will just resell them sometime.

The last one is my least favorite, although it is reversible, the pocket is on the inside the way I am wearing it in the pic.  Also, yes, I am wearing shorts underneath.  Now that I think about it, what's the point of skirt aprons?

Close up.  The middle is my favorite, and the last is cute for the holidays.  I guess the first is cool for Thanksgiving.

Next, is the nail polish I have had my eyes on for a long time, since I saw it on Sweet Glow Beauty on the left.  It's called "Read My Palm" from Sephora (by OPI).  But then I saw the gold on in the store and loovveedd it too!  It's called "Rumba Romance."  The picture does NOT do either of them justice!  The gold is more of a sparkly goldish-bronze.

And the green is a gorgeous green, not too minty, not too green...I don't really know how to describe it, but it's pretty similar to the greenish turquoise stone on my ring.  I think it's a color that would look great on all skin tones.

Enjoy! Don't forget about the giveaway!  Tomorrow's the last day and you have nothing to lose.

Thirsty Thrifts

I went to a Goodwill yesterday, I always slacked on visiting it, but it was a gold mine!  I got so much cool stuff, including a vintage dress! Woohoo!  I never find that stuff at Salvation Army, where I go normally.  But, I did find this beauuitffuulll bracelet for $2 there.  I will have to show you guys the rest of my amazing finds soon, but for now, here's inspiration outfit with the shirt and jewelry all being thrifting finds!

{Banana Republic shirt: thrift ($4), black jeggings: Forever 21 ($15), Bakers shoes: ($40)}

{leopard belt: forever21 ($5), necklace: thrifted ($2)}

{bracelets: thrifted $2)

Sorry these pictures are a bit over exposed.  Also, I hate the star tattoo.  But anyway, pretty easy look to pull off.  I really liked the added leopard belt.  This outfit can be a casual everyday outfit and it's even great for work!  

How could I make this outfit a bit more casual?

You could easily do so by loosing the heels and wearing oxfords instead, both black or brown would work.

If you haven't entered the giveaway yet, you should definitely do so!  Its simple, and you could win a free gift, so why not? Hollaa

Happy Sunday!

Man oh man.  There is just not enough time in the day.  I have a million things to do these days and on top of it, am seriously sleepy way too early.  I need to start exercising for some energy!  Anyway, I have a bunch of laundry and cleaning to get to before the football game, so I am going to leave with you my new discovery/want/must have/hopefully getting today obessesion: hot pink lipstick.

Yowzers! After seeing so many pics, I realized it wouldn't be so hard to pull off.  The trick is, to be wearing something clean and simple.  Black or white would be perfect with a sleek bun.  But check out that girls burnt orange outfit?  I addooorree it!!!

Well my dears, I will try to make time to run to a sephora so I can try to find the perfect hot pink, I will let you know if I am happy with my find!! Hope you have a Happy Sunday and a great week!

p.s. fall is hereeee woohoo!
