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!

Crisp Leaves & Basic Fall Things

The crisp leaves, the smell of the fresh air, the noise of the cars moving slower than normal for the people's inside to grasp the foliage. Its the last days before winter brings its cold, bitter chill. Its almost in limbo. The weather has been exceptionally warm. Being a warm blooded Californian I very much enjoy the warm weather. So this Free People dress might just take the trophy for my favorite piece of clothing I own. It literally is the most versatile item. Easy to wear with tights, boots, flats and in the summer sandals. My weeks have consisted of long hours at the boutique, so I have no time to post but I have a few things lined up that I'm excited to share. Happy Wednesday, the weekends almost here!

Cheerio!

Finally Autumns in the Air

                         

Happy Autumn Everyone, what would we do without this beautiful month of October. Well what can I say about this little number. I'm myself. I feel free. I also am not very poetic right now. Autumn makes me feel free. Its like the change in seasons gives me a new boost. I have a hard time putting the shorts away so tights work perfectly. I'll let you into a secret, these combat boots are one of the best purchases I've ever made. Now here's the secret...Target. I buy lots of basics, odds and ends, and quirky things there.  My work schedule has me going crazy, todays my first day off. I hope everyones having a wonderful day, I will be back this week!
Cheerio!

In the Air this Morning

Happy Sunday! Overcast skies and the faint feeling of redemption is the forecast for the day. I had someone tell me my outfit was Pinterest worthy so I felt it fit in my blog very well. Being the girl whose had about fifty jobs J.Crew used to be one of them. That's when I got these fabulous pants. You can't see but they have the most adorable zippers near the waist. Don't worry you'll see them again! I'm not shy about using pieces with different outfits! This shirt is one of my favorites. I am indeed a Free People kind of girl. The bohemian styles and eccentric patterns rock my world. I also love a good deal and this shirt was $7.00 at the consignment store. Prime budget find! Mikaela my best friend is sporting Francesca's per usual. You'll see a lot of her seeing as she's my soul mate and we do everything together and I may steal her wardrobe and she steals mine! What are best friends for?

As for the redemption in the air, I find that as Sunday rolls around people around the country make their way to church. They are all reminded of the grace and forgiveness of their Savior that they may had lost during the week. They feel redeemed. Now clearly it's a state of speech to say I can smell it in the air, and that it's silly. Truly being reminded of Jesus's unending love for my beat soul brings me redemption. I hope you all have a great day! 

Cheerio!
