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!

Well what can I say about these outfits, I have a very large wardrobe but really I only wear about twenty percent of it. The thing about me is, I usually look for the best bargain possible. I get an item or piece of clothing that I want stuck in my head and then look everywhere for it, till I can find a reasonable price.  My army pants were a T.J. Maxx find, only ten dollars!  The sweater in that outfit only $25.00.  My Sweater in the top outfit, only $25.00 and the Red Hot Chili Pepper tank, was mens from Target that I cut up and made my own.  In the middle outfit, I bought the polka dot shirt for $7.00.  What Im trying to say here is just because looking around for a bargain takes time, its completely worth it. Usually I scope out a store's website before I actually walk in to see if they have exactly what I'm looking for and if its on sale. You don't have to break the bank to have a great wardrobe. Hopefully some photography posts to come this week!

Cheerio for now!
