30 Day Accessory Challenge: Day 20

My coworkers know how much I adore fashion so when I wear something "comment worthy" they make sure to let me know. lol  So today I got alot of interesting ones like.... "It looks very picnic-y"  and "It's kind of like a stylish cowgirl look"  Cracks me up!!  I love to try new things, mix and not really match...all that.  Thankfully as I have grown up, the older I get the more and more I dress for me and what I love and the less I dress for others.  Don't get me wrong...I love a good compliment on my outfit, but my bestie will sometimes tell me she "isn't really feeling my outfit" and it doesn't phase me.  It feels so good to have grown out of that hyper sensetive, super self-concious girl I used to be.   Horray for the good things about getting older. :-)


Here's What I Wore:
Plaid button-down- $5 at Thrift City
Jason Wu for Target Skirt- $3.99 at $8 Fashion Outlet
Wedges- $16 at Marshalls
Belt- $6 at random mall store
Earrings & Bracelets- 6 for $5 at MIZ Accessories
Outfit Total- About $33

30 Day Accessory Challenge: Day 19

This outfit almost never happened!  Why, you ask...  Well, this skirt and tank we're both in my "going to goodwill closet" (yes, closet on my patio with like 9 bags of stuff I need to donate).  The other day I had the urge to shop, but instead of splurge I decided to dig through what I had previously hidden away.  I acctually stumbled upon a ton of hidden gems....this tank and skirt plus, 2 pairs of Talbots trousers, 3 dresses, various tops and a few plain colored tees that will be great for layering.  Free shopping.....what could be better??!!


Here's What I'm Wearing:
Blazer- $9 at Dots
Coral Tank- Gifted from Gma
Pleated skirt- $1 thrifted
Belt- Free w/skirt at Target
Peeptoe Heels- $12 at Cato
Earrings- 50cents at MIZ Accessories
Bracelets- 6 for $5 at MIZ Accessories

30 Day Accessory Challenge: Day 18

Saturday I finally managed a trip to my all time fav thrift store.  I hadn't been in weeks, bc of business trips, travel and being sick.  I was soooo glad to go back!!  Thrift City is a pretty big store with lots of hidden gems.  Plus they always have certain colors tags 1/2 price everyday...and around holidays and special occasions you can get even better savings!   This trip I scored this lovely Lauren Conrad tank along with this coral skirt.  Some items that aren't pictured that I was lucky enough to snag....pastel teal cropped pants and a black ruffle tank.  I ended up spending a little over $10.  Good deals!!! 


Here's What I Wore:
Flowy Blazer- Gifted from the boyfriend
Lauren Conrad Tank- $3.99 at Thrift City
Skirt- $1.50 at Thrift City
Flower earrings & Necklace- Gifted from the boyfriend (Forever 21)
Heels- $9 atPayless

30 Day Accessory Challenge: Day 16 & 17

Day 16: We recently had a huge acquisition at work, which means optional OT....gotta love it.  No really, I don't mind the OT, bc the paycheck after OT is always nice!! :-)  More shopping lol
So anyways....Saturday was a busy day!!  I worked 4hrs, took the pups to get their haircut, went to lunch and watched Total Recal w/the boyfriend and then went to bed early bc I still haven't fully recovered from being sick over a week ago.  The day called for comfy and casual, but still a hint of style.  I think this outfit did just that :-)

So Friday night my boyfriend and I decided to go out to dinner and then the comedy club.  I love get all dressed up for our date nights.  One shoulder dresses have become a staple for me!  I love them, bc I feel more covered than wearing a strapless dress, but I feel like they are still sexy enough for a night out. 

Here's What I Wore:
Dress- $18 at Dots
Belt- Free w/skirt at Target
Earrings- $5 at Charming Charlies
Bracelets- 6 for $5 at MIZ Accessories
Wedges- $16.99 at Payless
Outfit Total- About $41
