My Island Look

So these were taken on Friday. I bring to you the $6.90 dress I snagged at the thrift store! My hubby could not believe this was just $6.90. Ha! This is what I wore to the theater on Friday. One of our friends (she was the date for one our groomsmen) said I looked very "islandy". I felt like I should've been on a beach somewhere. Wishful thinking. :-)

I was getting compliments on this dress all day!

This is my favorite nail polish for the moment...


I love that feather necklace! Can you guess where I got all of my accessories from?

My regular raggedy Walmart flip flogs. : 0 I knew I would be walking a lot so I did not attempt to put on any heels. I saw a lady and the heels of her feet were RED. I felt so bad for her.... : \

That freakin purse was so heavy. I aim to clean it out this week.


By this time, I'd taken off my earrings. I was SO tired.

So here's the breakdown-

Earrings, bracelets, necklace- Forever 21, around $5-8 for each accessory

Purse- BAGHAUS! Love that store.....I waited until this went on sale. Got it for about $30

Flip flops- Walmart, $3

Dress-Thrift store, $6.90! (I know I've already said it...)

And while I was in D.C. for the day, I found out one of the vintage shops I liked was closed. Like out of business closed. :-(

Well...when I shopped there I was usually the only one in there.....oh well.

Have a great Monday!

Starting April Off With Spring Colors

Yesterday, I went to the thrift store down the street from me...I try to control myself when I go in there, but it's so hard! I ended up buying a dress for $6.90 & it's so cute! It's another one that I want, but I'm going to wait a while on it (and just pray it's still there when I go back). And guess what? A teenager walked up to me in the thrift store and said "ooh you look so pretty today." Made my day. :-)

This outfit is actually a dress with a shirt over it. I'm blogging from Cosi's right now so I'll try to remember everything.....

Blue Button-Up Dress- bought from Dillard's 9 yrs ago...I can't remember how much it was very cheap because the store was an outlet.

Orange Shirt- Voice, can't remember how much it was & I forgot the name of the store. I would know it if I saw it again though.

(Fake)Pearls- Can't remember where I purchased these either...

Bracelets- from Forever 21 for about $6, and the bigger one is from a random beauty supply store for a $1

Belt- Same one from this post.
Shoes-purchased from Guccini Fashion & Shoes.

Email me if you want to know the names of anything. I don't have everything in front of me right now due to me not being at home....

Got a double date tonight with the hubs to go see Why Did I Get Married Too? Can't wait! :-)

My Sunglasses "Collection"

Here's my sunglasses collection... Nope I don't own a million shades. Just 2 pair. I'm thinking about getting some Ray Ban esque aviator shades to add to the collection. I remember when I was about 14yrs old, I started babysitting my little cousin in the summer time. She was a newborn & my aunt paid me $25 a week to watch her everyday. Of course, I thought I was rich! Ha! The innocence of a 14yr old. :-) The first thing(s) I remember buying were 3 pairs of sunglasses & a hat. I ended up breaking/losing the shades & ever since then I refuse to invest a lot into them....I like to keep a few of them for a long time. (i.e. years)

I only bought these because I broke my black $6 Walmart shades after 3 yrs. I really didn't want to have to replace them.... but I scored these at Ross for about $8. I believe I bought them last spring....

The brown ones are Liz Claiborne bought at Filene's Basement for $10 in the spring of '07. Very sturdy shades and I love them. I plan on keeping both pair until they fall apart. ;-)

And these are the ones I'm thinking about getting...

And I really like these too...

Just because they match my car. (lol)

(These 3 shades are all $5.80 at Forever 21)
How many shades do you own? I'm sure ya'll's collection puts mine to shame.

$1.50 Forever 21 Headbands

The hubs bought these for me...so technically I didn't spend any money. ;-) They are cute & they were only $1.50 each. Total spent=$3.15 (with tax) Didn't see them online, but go to F21. They may still have them....

I can't wait to rock these.....

Pajama Shirt Outfit

I was so frustrated while picking out clothes today. I couldn't find anything to wear. So I went into my usual "don't care" mode. I'm pleased with the results though.

Nine West Shoes I bought from Ross...

My wedding bracelet. :-) You may see this on here a lot.

This shirt is actually apart of a sleep set that I bought a long time. I hardly ever wear the pajamas now....

I don't what that is on the jeans. It wasn't there in real life. Maybe the flash?

So this was what I decided to wear....

I forgot to take pics of the earrings. They are textured hoops from H & M ($5)

Shirt-Basic Editions Pajama shirt bought at least 9 years ago....don't remember the price

Bracelet-Bijoux Terner bracelet for $10

Pants-To Be With You Jeans, Ross, $9

Belt- Forever 21, $6

Shoes- Nine West, Ross, $20

And there's my $50 outfit in a nutshell. :-)
