Plus I'm about to make a trip to walmart and then grab some dinner....and maybe a movie too! :) I may be able to see some fireworks from my apartment (fingers crossed!) On to the oputfit of the day.....

Organizing ideas

.

.

.

So I did not have time to do a new DIY project tonight, so I wanted to show you two decorating tips that are easy and help keep things organized in your home.

.

Here's the first one....

How do you organize your jewelry? For me....if I don't see it I don't wear it, so I wanted to get all my beaded necklaces out where they were easy to see and use. During an after Christmas sale I purchased a bunch of wreath hangers for about 10cents each and now use those to hang my necklaces and I sort them by color. It works great!! :)

.

The next quick and easy project is a spatula holder....

.

.

.

.

.

I wanted to store the spatulas where they were easy to reach, but I wanted them to look cute as well. I purchsed a clear plain vase from dollar tree and then simply cute a gift bag into a rectangular shape, put it around the vase and taped it on. This is an easy way to changes up the decor....whenever you want to add a splash of color you could change the paper on the vase....and I think it looks like a cute kitchen bouquet. :)

.

So what are some fun DIY organization ideas you have come up with?

Yesterday I went shopping at The $8 Fashion Outlet with a friend from work. I had planned on getting a cute top for the double date I went on later that night, but I ended up seeing the amazing stuff the store recently recieved from QVC and I just couldn't resist.

I got this AHH-mazing dark green bag with purple handles....it's huge and has tons of pockets, which I adore!! Oh and it was only $8. I also got the amazing snake skin wedges. I've been looking for more statement shoes to wear to work and these are perfect and only $18. After we left that store I went to Dot's and picked up a cute black jersey dress and then paired it with these shoes and bag for my date night look....so fun!!! Did you do any shopping this weekend? Find any good deals? ~Kendra~

Date Night Duds

My boyfriend and I met up to see The Karate Kid before I left for a weekend with my family, so I wanted to dress up a little more, but still be comfy for movie watching. hehe I picked up this skirt on the clearance rack at Dot's. I'd been looking for a skirt like this that was decently long. Most skirts with the stretch waist band are super short, which is so not me! This one almost hits my knee, so I decided to snag it right away!! Then I paired it with a shirt I bought for the first career fair I helped plan at my job. It's so nice when I find ways to make my work pieces wearable outside work! :) Clothes that pull double duty are always great....especially when those darn student loans are about to kick in. lol
