Mixing Nautical Stripes & Safari

February 27th, 2009 · No Comments

Leopard print & navy stripes – meow!
It’s not the most inventive outfit but I do like the combo of safari elements – leopard print, leather, sandals – paired with the nautical stripes and wide leg pants.  The belts were $5 each at TJMaxx & they have pewter studs all the way round - I just buckled [...]

Fabulous Fashion Show & Luncheon

February 26th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Have I told you how jealous I am that so many of the fashion bloggers out there have gotten to attend & cover the shows this past week?  Well, I am.  I think.  I mean, the fashion – I die (or I pee – if you read the Bubble)!  But the crowds, the mess, the [...]

Three Dollar Dress

February 25th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Here I am in my $3 dress from TJMaxx’s clearance rack.  It had unraveled at the top of the waistband on the right so I sewed it back together.  Plus the off-white trim had gotten a bit mucky.  Washing took care of that.  It’s I.N.C. brand & had the original tags for $99 on it.  So, what’s that?  A [...]

I absolutely ADORE this great idea for making your purse changes go much faster.  I might change my bag every day if I made myself this little handy guy!

TJMaxx – Scarf & Bangles – Got Off Cheap

February 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

I actually spent some time in TJMaxx recently & got out of the store with only spending around $12.  I know, ca-razy, right?  No taking out a second mortgage, no promising my firstborn, no signing away my soul.  In blood.  Just $12 plus tax.  I am still amazed at that visit.  Anyway…
 
This is what I nabbed: [...]

Another Target Score – Ladylike Top

February 20th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Here’s another Target score.  I am so in love lately with these ladylike tops, especially when they have a tie at the neck.  This one was found on the clearance rack (me, clearance? no freakin’ way!).  It was $12, which actually is a little high for me.  But I tried it on, really liked it [...]

Sequin DIY Choker/Necklace

February 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Here is yet another sequin post.  I’ve been stocking up slowly – it sure has snuck up on me. This outfit was actually based on figuring out what to do with a strip of sequins left over from my bracelet experiment.  I just wrapped the darn thing around my neck & tacked it there with a cute [...]

Inspired by Wardrobe Disaster Zone & The Cold

February 18th, 2009 · 2 Comments

Here’s another outfit that came together due to the closet chaos.  Also, I was longing to be cozy & comforted.  It’s definitely not figure flattering in any sort of way.  The sweater is an interesting cardi by BCBG that can be worn right side up & upside down.  This is as the second of the [...]

Layers Inspired by Wardrobe Disaster Area

February 17th, 2009 · 7 Comments

My awesome husband recently extended the tile that is in our master bathroom right on through my closet – yay!  So, during the creation of the new floor the contents of my closet were scattered throughout our house.  In my office, the guest bed, our bedroom, etc…
Usually I am very organized but after this little exercise [...]
