Confessions of a Shopaholic

Confession of a shopaholic 15:

Finding something at a ridiculous cheap price that you would never expect has the power to make even the saddest news bearable for a day. 

Finding bargains is my forte. My special bargain in this outfit would be the beautiful Free People black maxi dress that I'm wearing. $7.00 at Marshall's. The most important part of stores in that family ( T.J. Maxx, Marshall's, Etc.) is the clearance racks. You have already marked down rare pieces, with an additional clearance price. I have found my best pieces there. Free People is currently my favorite brand. Their boho materials and fabrics tossed with a very classic look. This dress was anywhere from $60-$100 dollars originally. I love the fact I can wear it all year around too with the right accessories.  Leather jackets make the perfect addition to any outfit. I'm finding it to be colder outside, which makes it a lot harder to get up in the morning to pick out my outfit. Truly though when I do have a killer outfit on, my whole day seems alot better! More posts to come in this beautiful new year, so excited to see what God has in hands for me this year! Happy 2015!

Cheerio!

Dreamin' of Paisley's

 Well I feel as though every other post I'm wearing shorts. I'm telling you, I have such a hard time giving them up. Well over the last two weeks I did three great things. I bought this amazing paisley kimono, I got a sunflower tattoo, and I bought the new Taylor Swift album 1989. My life has been so hectic. Between working pretty much full time to finding time to sleep, its like I can't catch a break. On the plus side this kimono was a whopping $9.98. The way I measure money is impractical, its in the amount of coffee's I could buy with that money. I think "well for ten dollars I could buy almost 4 coffees". It's really a problem, my addiction to coffee, but its definitely worth it. Paisley's are extremely in, so much so that I have a tattoo on my shoulder of a very large paisley. They were infamous starting as early in the twenty's on men's ties and suit jackets. They've grown to be a much more popular pattern.  The paisley I have permanently tattooed on my body resembles a tear that has been made beautiful by all the pain I have endured in my life. The beach was a great place to breath this day.  On a side note the new Taylor Swift album is so heartfelt and edgy and yes I did get a new tattoo. Sunflower's are my favorite flower and my Mom's. Hope you all have a great week.
Cheerio!
