Remixing's on hold

So I absolutely love to mix and match the stuff I own, but lately instead of remixing I've been in this mode of getting use out of everything in my closet....since starting my new job I have yet to wear any top twice (Besides one black cardi that has been repeated) and I am loving the feeling of "newness" that comes with each outfit.  Which do you prefer....the power/challenge of the remix or the fierceness of wearing something "new"? 

Tuesday I decided to play it a little more nuetral than usual and to go with something comfy, bc I went to the ortho to get my retainer, which I despise lol.  Ahh well, it will work out....at least I'm done with braces!! :) 

So, here's what I wore:

Lime Green Cardi- $1.99 at Denton Thrift

Gray Top- $12 from Target

Black Limited Brand Pants- $3.99 at Goodwill

Heels- $4 at Payless

Earrings-6 for $5 at MIZ Accessories

Bracelet a set is 6 for $5 at MIZ Accessories

Outfit Total: About $23

.
Since I kept yesterday so simple....and even got a comment from a co-worker "Wow, your not quiet as colorful today"...I decided to add a big burst of color in the outfit today.  I've been holding on to this red pencil skirt for just the right outfit. :)  (BTW, I know I look way more tan in the second pic...I have become addicted to spray tanning and was finally able to get in another tan session last night.)

Here;s What I Wore:

Funky Top- $7 at Plato's Closet

Black Tank Top- $3.88 at Walmart

Red Pencil Skirt- $1 at Thrift City

Heels- $12 at Cato

Necklace- $1 at Dots

Bangle- 50cents at CCA Thrift

Outfit Total: $25.38

Cardi Love

So I had been lusting over this ahhmazingly detailed and fantastically cream colored cardi, since it first appeared in the Talbots outlet at only 25% it's $119 sticker price.  Definately wasn't going to pay that much, so I watched closely as it scooted down to 50%, 60%, 70% and finally 95% an even lower sale price, which is when I plucked it out of the store and ran......well, I paid of course, but then I ran just in case they decided making this amazing cardi a total bargain was a dumb decision. lol  Have u ever had an item you stalked until it hit the perfect price point?

Here's what I wore today:

Cream Colored Cardi- $6 at Talbots Outlet

Colorful Tank- $3 at Marshalls

Black Tank- Free hand-me-down from mom

Black Pencil Skirt- $8.88 at the $8 Fashion Outlet

Heels- $9 at Payless

Necklace- $14 at Talbots Outlet

Bangle- 50cents at CCA Thrift

Studs- Came in a set of a huge pack of studs 6packs for $5

Outfit Total: $ 42.21

I know you can't really tell in the pic, but down the from of the cardi there are little metal circles hanging off it and on the front the circles are cream and on the back they're gold.

Hope everyone has a great week!!  ~Kendra~

Black, Brown and Floral All Over

Cato is one of those places where I ussually find really cute stuff for really cheap....I only shop on their clearance racks...and this outfit is no exception.  The top, skirt and shoes are all from different Cato shopping trips and I love the way they all go together.

Black Top-Mom's Hand me down from Cato

Heels-$3.99 at Cato

I don't know if you can tell, but the branches on the skirt are black and brown and my neckalce also has some brown beads.  What do you think about mixing black and brown....some people are against it...I say...it's totally ok.  I mean, if u wear anything leopard print ur pretty much mixing black and brown.  Really, it's no biggie. :)  ~Kendra~
