Bohemian Vibes: Look 1

Hey y'all!  I'm back with another dose of fashion inspiration.  I wanted to do something a little different this week and showcase 2-3 looks that were created with Bohemian inspired vibes in mind.  I shared with you guys last week that as summer approaches and humidity ensues, I tend to favor more relaxed wardrobe items.

Maxi Love

I wore this outfit on last weekend and let me tell you, baaaby... I was in heaven.  When the temperatures begin to rise here in the south skirts, shorts, and maxi length dresses are a must have.  This skirt is one I retrieved from my items that have been packed away for the winter months.  It was like shopping all over again...lol.  Don't you just love when you find something you haven't worn in a while?

On Sunday I Wear Skirts | Easter 2015

Happy New Week to you all!  I hope you had an awesome weekend filled with love and good times with family and/or friends.  My family and I attended church on Easter Sunday.  We thoroughly enjoyed our program celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I'm forever grateful that He died for my sins, but most of all he rose for my salvation! 

 

On Sundays I Wear Skirts | Lime Pencil Skirt

Hey y'all!!  I know, such a southern thing to say, but I promise you I'm educated and even hold a degree in nursing.  It's just the way we say hello down here...lol.  Anywho,  I was inspired by a package of Starburst for this post.  If you haven't gotten a chance to see how I've styled skirts for this series yet, you can see previous posts here and here.

 

On Sundays I Wear Skirts | Tangerine and Leopard

If you've followed my blog for a while now, you'll know that my favorite print is leopard.  It pairs well with practically EVERYTHING to me.  The perfect blend of all neutrals is aesthically pleasing to the eye and you can basically add a plethora of colors to make it work.  I particularly love pairing leopard prints with a bright bold color such as this tangerine pencil skirt I scored for the low at Gabe's.  Can you believe it was only five bucks?  *Gasp*... There was no way I was leaving it hanging all by its lonesome on the rack.  And it's one of my favorite labels to wear, Lane Bryant.  Now, this skirt retails at around 50-60 bucks, and you know the thrifty part of me will NOT pay retail for anything...lol.  This skirt is old and no longer available, at least I couldn't find it on the web site or in store.  Hence, the reason I will be shopping my closet more because there is no way this should still have tags on it...*insert blank stare*.  Anywho...

On Sundays I Wear Skirts | Black and White Skirt

During the week it's not practical for me to wear a skirt to work.  I am a school nurse and although I'm not required to wear scrubs, I don't want to expose my wardrobe to possible vomit and nasal drippings.  Ugh...lol.  It's a little discouraging at times because I feel my inner "girly-girl" is hindered from showing her true colors.  I try to make up for that by painting my face and swiping on a pretty lip color.

How to Style a Beret

Today's post is all about the beret!  I was having a bad hair day this particular day and so I opted to "fix" it by adding this beret to my outfit.  Of course, it is in my favorite color PINK!!  I wanted the focus to be on the wool hat so I kept the base of my outfit all neutral.  Black and white will always reign as classic and chic in my book.  

I scored this classic button up in black from Gabe's.  It's a Lane Bryant blouse that retailed for around $55.  *Gasps* Of course, my price was only $5.  Gabe's is known for selling items at unbelievably huge discounts.  I am in heaven everytime I walk in this store!!  Some items are slightly irregular, but in my opinion, they're hardly noticeable.  Maybe a seam not sewn as tight or the cut of the size may be slightly off.  

My skirt is suuuuper old.  Old Navy had a sale and I purchased it for around $12, I think.  I also purchased these booties from Gabe's that retail for around $90.  My price...$20. Yeees!!  Total cost of my outfit $37! If that ain't winning, I don't know what is...lol.  I'm all for looking chic and well put together for pennies on the dollar.  I prefer to spend my coins on things that are more meaningful to me such as a vacation...that I'm currently in need of...on an island somewhere with cocktail in hand and a good book...*le sigh*.  Wishful thinking.,,,anywho, hope you enjoyed this post.  If it has inspired you in any way, please feel free to leave a comment, +1, share on Facebook or Twitter.  As always until next time...

Peace and love,

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!

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!
