Shecky's Outfit

So this is what I wore to the Shecky's Girls Night Out event. I was kinda frustrated because it took me sooooooo long to come up with something. I went with this at the last minute. I bought this dress from the thrift store down the street. Someone asked me the name & it's called Village Economy Thrift Store & it's in Woodbridge, VA. :-) The dress was a whopping.....$5.90

This is the only good shot I got of the dress head on....I was so tired. As you can clearly see.

Sequined belt. This was my first time wearing it.

Great back this dress had! I'll say it again. I LOVE an interesting, different back. :D

So here's the breakdown:

Dress- thrifted, $5.90

Belt- Forever 21, $6.80

Purse- (Not pictured) from Wet Seal, $10

Earrings- which you can barely see, Forever 21, $3.80 for a 3 pack of earrings

Shoes- Nine West, FREE (one of my co-workers gave me these & I love them!)

My $26.50 outfit. :-)

Shecky's Girls Night Out!

I'm sitting here with the worst headache known to mankind. :-( No interesting outfits to post. Just wanted to let you guys know I'm going to the Shecky's Girls Night Out event tommorrow in D.C.! I can't wait because women say it's so much fun. :-) Red carpet, cocktails at the door, goodie bag packed with freebies, & discount shopping. Oh yeah! I'm excited. :D Visit them at http://www.sheckys.com/ for more info. They have events in a lot of major cities.

Now what to wear? Hmmmm......I'll think about it later when my head stops pounding.

I Finally Bought A Romper :-)

Remember this post where I talked about Forever 21's clothing under $10. Well, I stopped by F21 this weekend just looking for a romper on sale. I went to one of the managers first & asked her if they had any rompers. She said "no, they've all sold out." So I proceeded to leave....That's when I saw a striped coral & gray romper placed ramdomly in the wrong section.
Hmmmm. Thought they didn't have anymore? Grrrrrr...You would at least think that the manager would know what she's talking about right??? Anyway, I tracked down a whole section of rompers. I finally settled on the one i initially posted which was this one.....

I got it in blue though...it was on sale for $8. I really liked this one too... :-) I liked the laid-back look of it.

I'm hearing that Walmart has some rompers too...Hmmmm. So I'll be checking them out too. Now I want at least 2 or 3 more. lol

(Btw, I'm in the process of changing the look of the blog. Excuse the mess!)

Pretty In Pink

So this weekend was very relaxing. I watched Pretty in Pink about 2-3 times. The movie had nothing do with my outfit though! :-) I just love Molly Ringwald movies. Sweet Sixteen is my fave. :D On Sunday, the hubby and I took a stroll in the park, got some delicious food from Ruby Tuesday, and watched Next Day Air. Well, actually it's just a trail, but I liked our walk. The actual trail is a bit creepy though...reminds me of walking through a forest The movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be....It had a lot of funny parts. The ending didn't go with the movie though. Can't stand a bad ending. It ruins the movie... : \

Everything that I'm wearing is old. My sister gave me that scarf a long time ago. I have worn it as a shirt too. Those are gold accents on the skirt by the way. The newest thing I have on are my gold flip flops. I got them last year from Kmart I believe...I don't remember how much they were. They're very comfortable though. Hope you guys had a great weekend. Later....

Too Rich for My Blood: Fashion in Magazines

I love reading magazines. (My heart belongs to books though) My faves are Essence and Cosmopolitan. Most times, I CAN NOT afford the clothes they feature in there though...lol. Just once I would love to open a magazine with $20 outfits ya know? Not outfits that average $200 & above...I feel like they're a little unrealistic when it comes to the majority of the clothes featured.

Here are just a few things that are way out of my budget.....all photos are from Cosmopolitan.

These heels are gorgeous! But not for $195.... : \

Even though the outfits are expensive, they do provide great inspiration. :-)

Wow, $10 Bathing Suits?!

Check out these Forever 21 bathing suits! They are $10 for the whole swim suit. Yep! This is the cheapest I've ever seen bathing suits. These are great if you just need a quick suit & it doesn't have to be fancy. Check them out here. I need some more bathing suits....I only have 3 I think. These bathing suits are making me want to go to the beach! lol...Seriously. Maybe a road trip to VA Beach is in the near future? ;-)
