Leopard Tuesday

I was feeling the leopard this morning so I went with it. I was resisting fall coming, but now I think I'm starting to embrace it. There is so much more you can do with layering when it's not sweltering outside! I've been trying to really put together a fall must have list. I've been trying to really go through my closet and look for what's missing, and what I need to update some of my older pieces. I want to have a plan next time I go shopping so I don't overspend!

I'm Baaaccckkk!

hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Things have been really crazy lately. I scored this top last weekend at Marshall's for $2! It doesn't translate on film that well, but I love it. I am also loving my ruffle booties. It's a cool day today, so perfect fall transition weather.

Top - Marshalls $2

Pants - Walmart $5

Booties - DSW-$49.95

Love that blue!

Happy wednesday folks! When I bought this skirt I really didn't know what I was going to wear with it. I just knew I loved this shade of blue. It was a happy coincidence that I had an old scarf that was the exact shade! I need to think about what else I could wear with it...maybe to make it more casual. Any thoughts?

Skirt - Kmart clearance $5

Blazer - JCPenney $12

Top - Kohls $8

Rosey Tuesday

Today I wanted to just slip on something easy so this dress definitely qualifies. I love the pinks in this dress, so pretty. It's a bit chilly this morning so the sleeves to the elbows are good too.

Dress - Fashion Bug $15

Shoes - Aldo $10.50

Back to work!

Well it's Monday again! The weekend goes by way too quickly. I did some serious workouts this weekend and now I am paying for it. I think I ache all over!

Now and Later

I am really liking the coming fall trends. The animal print trend is one that is great for now as well as later. I can pair this top with a black turtle neck and add black tights and boots to this outfit and it will be perfect for a chilly fall day. I love clothes that can span the seasons!

Just Peachy

Happy Monday! I'm not digging how this outfit translates on the pictures. Oranges are not the best colors on me and it doesn't look as fitted as I'd like. It's also hard to see the cool studs on my booties. Oh well....I think I need photography lessons!

Jacket - JCPenney - $15

Top - JCPenney - $8

Pants - Kmart - $10

Booties - Newport News $10

Sunny Thursday

It's another HOT one in DE today so I'm going with a sundress and sandals. Having a little cardi is essential...I don't really like my arms so I want to cover them, even if it's with a crochet number.

Sundress - Walmart $15

Cardi - JCPenney $12

Shoes - The Shoe Dept - $12.99

Midweek slump

As I was standing forever in front of my closet last night trying to decide what to wear today I came accross this skirt. It's hard to tell from the pic, but it is a wrap skirt in an eggplant color. Now that I've gotten to work, I realize why I never wore this much....as soon as you sit down it totally opens up revealing too much leg! I'll be self conscious all day now and will probably mess with it and figit all day! Oh well.

Skirt - 12 yrs old??

Shirt - old navy $15

Shoes - Unlisted-$6.50

Start of a new week.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. It goes way too quickly unfortunately. I love this maxi skirt and decided it hasn't gotten enough play this summer. I love the maxi dress/skirt trend. The patterns are so awesome and interesting. Not much additional accessorizing is needed.

I was checking out some Sept. magazines this weekend and making a list of things I want for the fall. Here's a few things on my wish list:

Leopard cardigan

faux fur vest

plaid shirt

studded or strappy ankle boots

snakeskin look pumps

glitzy sequin top

What's on your wish list?

Today's outfit:

Shirt - TJ Maxx $9.99

Skirt - JCPenney - $23

Shoes - Aerosoles - TJMaxx - $24.99

Necklace, ring and earrings - Liz Clairborne - $4.99 each

Old Favorite

This dress is very old...can't even really remember when I bought it. It's a favorite of mine though and something I go to when I can fit into it! Since I've lost almost 70 lbs since last year, it fits again. Actually it's getting too big. I'm wondering if it's worth it to get it tailored. How many of you get things altered? Or do you just buy new? With so many great deals out there, I think it's almost cheaper to buy something new.

Dress - old Lane Bryant

Shoes - Aerosoles - TJ Maxx $24.99

Today's outfit

I am glad it's Wednesday! Thursday is my last work day of the week. Yippee. Today I decided to dress a bit cooler. The purple print top is very sheer. I was happy to get alot of great comments from co-workers yesterday, especially on my shoes. More than one person said they need to take me shopping with them! I can do that!

Purple print top - Macy's clearance $5

Black tank top - Old Navy $4

Black skirt - Dots $12

Shoes - Aerosoles -TJ Maxx $24.99

Classic Business Casual

When the dress code says business casual, this is what I typically think of. It's a no fail "uniform". I've tried to kick it up a notch with the belted shirt and fun espadrilles. Sometimes I think companies should provide "examples" of appropriate attire in the workplace. I see too many tank tops and flip flops in the hallway. It's hard to be taken seriously when it looks like you're on a beach vacation!

Shirt - Kohls $3.40

Pants - Kmart $12

Shoes - Mandee $8.99

Belt - came with another skirt

Be sure to check out Fab Finds Under $50 for her giveaway. $25 to Famous Footwear! She offers 3 ways to enter to win. I think I would put the $25 towards the Connie Black Libery boots. I'm starting to get into fall mode and I need new boots!

MICKEY Monday

Another jeans day at work. The 2nd Monday of every month we can dress casually. I decided to wear my disney gear today thad I picked up in Florida on vacation this year. It's going to be the hottest day in Delaware for the year so far....I may regret wearing jeans if it gets too hot in the office.

TGIF! Happy Friday everyone! We get to wear jeans on Fridays at work. Today is not so hot and humid so I am hoping I won't get too hot in the office. I am hoping to come accross some good ideas for some fun stuff to do this weekend. Not shopping for a month is leaving alot of open time! ha ha.

Nauti Thursday

I was feeling nautical today, maybe because it's raining....

I am happily awaiting my weigh in today at my weight loss group today. Last October I embarked on a weight loss plan and to date I think I have lost 68 lbs(hoping that's what the scale says today!) The past few weeks I have been running/walking with a Running club. I think the running part is going to kick start my stalled weight loss. Plus I feel fantastic after I run. Is there maybe a latent athlete in me?

Dress - Tommy Hilfiger - $15

Short Sleeve hoodie - NY&Co $10

Anchor necklace - ebay $20

shoes - Target clearance last year?

Happy Hump day!

I love the combination of pink and brown...so classic. It has been really hard to dress for work these days. My office is HOT, but the conference rooms and testing rooms are FREEZING. I think sticking to skirts and just being sure to bring a cardigan is key.

Shirt - JCPenney clearance - $6

skirt - Kmart - $10

Necklace - Lane Bryant clearance - $7

Shoes - Aldo - $10.50

Fuchsia Boho

Happy Tuesday everyone! My mom bought this skirt for me last summer and I haven't had anything to wear with it til now. I didn't really like the skirt, but I think it works with this peasant tee. It's a definite jolt of color!

Skirt - Coldwater Creek $4

Belt - came with a pair of pants

Sandals - Jessica London $10

Preppy Monday

Happy Monday to all! I was feeling a bit preppy this morning so decided on a polo shirt and skirt combo. I don't know what's up with the weird expression on my face.....anyway I didn't feel like taking a thousand photos this morning so I just went with it! Have a great week everyone!

Do all rock stars have stylists?

I'm going to say the answer to that question is no....at least in the case of Kelly. Last nights concert was great. My friend Char and I had great seats. Kelly is a true talent. Her voice is wonderful live and the energy was awesome. The 2 opening acts for her were great too. A woman named Krista and Eric Hutchinson. Now back to Miss Kelly and her "outfits". For the first half of the show she was wearing a sleeveless T with a pic of David Bowie. The sides were laced up. She had on a pair of skin tight bell bottoms. It was NOT a good look for her. Sorry, but David Bowie's made up face is not the most attractive for a Tshirt and her jeans were waaayyy too tight, emphasizing her pear shape too much. For the 2nd half of the show she changed her shirt to a chambray print tank and "matching" vest with gold nail head design. The vest kinda looked like a home made bedazzling project. I love Kelly's music, but I do think a make over is in order. She's a pretty girl but doesn't really have a handle on how to dress her body. On a better note she was wearing a great rocker necklace and bracelet and a chunk of bling on her finger....maybe she's just an accessories girl!

Kelly Clarkson Tonight!

I'm getting very excited about going to see Kelly Clarkson in concert tonight. She's still my favorite American Idol winner. It's really great too that I don't have to leave the state to go see her. Delaware doesn't really have many big stars performing as we don't really have any venues for it. She is at the State Fair though so it's very close by and it's alot cheaper than a concert in Philly or NJ:)

I will try to post what I wore to the show tomorrow. Maybe I can even convince my best friend Char to get in on the pic!

I've been meaning to post some of my favorite bargain websites so I mind as well do it today! I love a site called: www.dealnews.com. They show the best deals going on it pretty much every category you can think of. I usually check this site daily, or if I'm shopping for something in particular. I got a great deal on my gps by checking this site every day for a couple of weeks.

Another favorite for designer shoes is one I've mentioned before: www.poshonmain.com. They have great sales and quick shipping. I've been obsessed with Tory Burch shoes and bags lately so I check out this site alot.

I also like www.1saleaday.com this site sometimes even has free stuff(just pay shipping). I've gotten speakers for my ipod and an adapter that turns my cigarette lighter into a regular outlet for "free". They often have great deals on watches too.

Well that's it for now. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Thursday! Today is my last workday of the week. I'm really happy it's almost the weekend. I'm going to see Kelly Clarkson in concert on Saturday and really looking forward to it.

I think my outfit today does a better job of creating a waist. Here's what I'm wearing today:

Blue Blazer - Merona-Target $9.99
Cream slub tee - Kohls - $9
Skirt - Vera Wang-Kohls-$11
Shoes - Merona - Target - $13
Pin - vintage a la grandma

If I was spending money this month....

If I wasn't on a self imposed no shop month, I would definately get these shoes. One of my favorite websites for designer shoes is having a mega sale. Check out: www.poshonmain.com.

These are Tory Burch Meghan pumps. They are in my size too......

Today's Outfit

It has been very very warm in my office this summer. I have been wearing a lot more skirts and dresses than I normally would because it's cooler. I have been in a black and white mood this week. After seeing myself in pics, I can't decide if this dress is the most flattering. It definitely hides that I have a waist! It succeeds in adding pattern though as usually I seem to gravitate towards solids.

Dress: Macy's clearance $18
Shoes: The Shoe Dept sale $6.50
Jewelry: Turquoise set $10 from ebay

Hello!

Hello all!

I have become an avid blog follower and I've finally decided to start my own. I am challenging myself to not spend any money on clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. til the end of August. I will be shopping my own closet and trying to re-work what I already own. I'll be posting pics of what I come up with! I hope everyone will enjoy!
