Warming it Up in Winter

I love how this ensemble came together. I decided to wear this to church and received lots of compliments on my clutch. Being a mother of four and trying to remain stylish on a tight budget is actually a fun challenge for me.

I put this outfit together for less than $40. So let's talk about the deets! The orange sweater was scored at one of my favorite thrift stores Goodwill. It was less than 4 bucks. The white button up and denim skinnies were gifted. I'm so blessed :)

The gold belt came as one of a set of three and cost around 3 bucks. My nude peep toe pumps were what cost the most at 25 dollars, but I got a second pair (black) for half off. I'm a sucker for a bargain...lol. Finally the clutch I received so many compliments on...a whopping $4.99. 

Cowboy Boots and Denim

Golden mustard colors are beautiful for fall.  Yes, I know it is winter and I'm super late in posting this look.  I have worn this dress several times and decided to style it with some cute cowboy boots and a scarf.  The Jessica Simpson bag was a loaner from my sister.  I don't think she's gonna get it back, though...lol.  The belt I added accentuates my waist.  To keep warm on this brisk fall day I opted to add a dark wash denim jacket.  What do you think of this outfit?  Do you love cowboy boots and denim?

Happy New Year!!

 I saw this mustard colored sweater in Lane Bryant and just had to have it!!  I was lucky enough to catch this on sale, and what fashionista doesn't love a good sale?  I'm all for finding a good bargain and getting the most bang for my buck.  Their sweaters were half price during the holiday season.  The bodycon skirt, I scored at Old Navy back in the summer for $12 bucks! I decided to pair the outfit with black tights and patent leather pointy toe shoes that I thrifted for about 4 bucks. How was your New Year's Eve?  Leave me a comment below.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Taste the Rainbow

Hi, everyone! I know, I know, it's still winter. Yeah, but there have been some pretty warm days here in North Carolina.  That's the thing with living in the south.  On this particular day, it was 70 degrees!! Hence, my oiliness on my face. Note to self: find a new primer for my makeup. I heard Milk of Magnesia works wonders for oily skin. Maybe I'll try that.  

My post is titled Taste the Rainbow, because with winter comes short, dreary, cloudy days.  I felt like infusing some color into my wardrobe and what better weather could I ask for in December to pull this look off.  I paired my rainbow colored crop top with a simple white lacy tank and my oh-so-comfortable pink chucks!  How are the winter days where you guys live?

Shopping on a budget

Thrifty Shopper

Hi, everyone! Thanks for checking out my outfit of the day. I wore this look on Easter Sunday 2013. See, I took photographs guys, but I just didn't blog about them... Shame on me. Anywho, I live in the hot and humid south of the USA and I decided to wear these light and flowy fabrics that day so that I could BREATHE. The air can be so thick here in the spring and summer that you could cut through it with a knife. I purchased most of these pieces from my local Walmart. Yeah, I was shocked to see such quality clothing in this type of store. The total price of this outfit was less than I spend on a week of grocery. Can you say winning? Please tell me what you think in the comment section below. Smooches!

My Love Affair With Black & White

Over the course of the past few weeks, I've developed a love for the colors black and white. Peplum blouses have also become a favorite of mine. When I saw this blouse I simply could not pass it by. It features a neckline made of black lace and a bodice of lightweight cotton fabric. I paired this with mint green jeggings and black ballet flats. Thank you for viewing my post!
