My monthly sojourn to Marshall’s ended with me spending only $5 (plus tax).  I’m pretty proud of myself!  Actually, I did even better than you think since I went to TJMaxx first & didn’t buy a thing there (even though I was tempted!)  Gosh, I feel so smug.  (I am learning how to be super [...]

For spring, I am loving:

Cargos with strappy heels

Waist defining jackets

Pink jackets – whether served up with ripped jeans or calm khakis.

Despite being put on salary at work & being terrified at having a “fixed” income (I won’t be able to look forward to those higher hour “good” paychecks!) I was still freaking shopping this past weekend!
I know, it’s a damn addiction.  I know for a fact once I’m in the habit of spending more it [...]

Workout pants – check! ($6 & $18)

Tops to dress them up – check & check! ($9 & $9)

But I also found…

Super cute Converse dress [...]

I ended up having lunch with friends on a Sunday last weekend.  It just so happened that it was at my favorite shopping plaza.  How convenient! 
I really needed some new bras – I have various sizes which either give me 4-boob effect or torment my body in ways God never intended.  So Lane Bryant got [...]

Here’s the one thing that jumped out at me from the latest In Style:

Thanks to this purchase, I had very similar pieces so decided to do my own more casual version of the look.  Here it is:

Enzo Angiolini sandals, Style&Co pants (free from swap party), Alternative tee ($10), necklaces from Kohl’s & Target (less than $10 [...]
