Never Say Never

While I understand having standards where you choose to shop, I also can appreciate cute and affordable at any store. These two dresses are less than $20 each, cute, and versatile, and available at Walmart online and in stores.

I hit the lottery with the numbers 6.99

So those who know me know that I mean this metaphorically. My mom and I did some shopping this weekend (thanks mom!) and found the following at Lane Bryant on the $6.99 rack.

I found this jacket and skirt in olive green, but could only find the pics online in grey.






I found this jacket. Unfortunately, the only matching skirt on the rack was 2 sizes too small.


Very well-spent $22.

Red Pants Outfit Hunt: Complete!

Lately, I have been blogging and pinning (pinterest) outfits with red pants as the building block. I have been hunting for pieces.

The red knit capri from Lane Bryant were a good idea...for someone else's body type. They also are tight in the leg and huge in the waist. I will tailor them and see if that helps.

I have these One Stop Plus denim jeggings in a dark wash and LOVE them. I am excited about the red ones, but found out AFTER I ordered them that they are on back order until June. (enter huge disappointment here.)
I finally got the pieces that I think will be flattering on me. Until I wear it, what do you think?


Pants: One Stop Shop, Shirt: Lane Bryant, Shoes: Ruff Hewn, Jacket: mine is August Max this one is similar

Here's my favorite so far and my next hunt:

Dollar Jewelry Transformation

I knew I liked the pieces individually and thought I could put them together somehow. What do you think?

All pieces from Glitter (and each piece $1)
