Polka Dots and Stripes Oh My

On one of my thrifting escapades I found this 100% silk top and striped skirt…..I love them paired together…rockin the mixed prints look. 

But that’s not the best part….let me reveal the total check out price for both items……

$3.00

Yep, that’s right, I said it $3.00……I paid $1.50 for the top and $1.50 for the skirt……WooHoo!!!

Can I get a high five up top???  But wait…… there is more….. I found the same skirt in another color…yes ma’am….that was a great thrifting day. It’s the thrill of the hunt when it comes to thrifting…you never know what you’re going to find.  I felt like a million bucks….

My Club Monaco lucent necklace was a gift from a friend…..loving it!

Treat Yourself

My philosophy is you work hard and it is a must to “Treat Yourself”….buy that special item that makes you happy! Go ahead, get that dress or those new pair of killer heels…you know you deserve it….”Treat Yourself”

Here are the few things I treated myself to on my California vacation.      

A great hand bag is a MUST purchase on all my trips. It’s so much better than a souvenir shot glass that you’ll never use. I love that feeling, when someone asks “Where did you get that bag?”

I couldn’t leave this Michael Kors Denim Grayson bag. The camouflage version of this bag was my first choice but I could never find it in stock but I fell in love with this one!!

Michael Kors wallet- I never match my wallet to my purse that’s too boring for me. I like my wallet to be a pop of color and this orange is on point!

A bloggers must have clutch by American Apparel.

 TOMS silver glitter classic. I love the idea for every pair you purchase; TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One

My new favorite nail polish Deborah Lippmann "Happy Birthday"

Enjoy your weekend and remember to “Treat Yourself”!!

Five Dollar Finds

It’s that time again….Five Dollar Finds.

I found these pants at my local thrift store for $5 bucks and couldn’t leave them. I’ve been looking for a fruit skirt for months with no luck but these pants are a great substitute.

 

When I saw these fruit capri pants two of my favorite bloggers came to mind, Sacramento from Mis Papelicos and Kiah from The “Rez” to the “City” and I thought, “What would they do with these pants?” These ladies are masters of mixing prints, are extremely stylish, and have become my fashion inspirations.

I thought it would be fun to add my striped shirt with the fruit capri pants….A great look for an awesome price!

M.I.A.

I’m baaack.......and I missed you guys. I would love to blame my hiatus on something of major importance but the truth is I needed a break from the Internet. Yes, I said the Internet!!!! I was spending way too many hours online that it was becoming slightly addictive. For a brief moment, I could’ve been featured on MTV’s True Life- I’m addicted to the Internet….the only problem I’m way too old to be on MTV any longer.…LOL.... So I cut the cord and turned off my laptop for three weeks………My plan was to get some projects done and be productive but most of my time was spent lounging….go figure!!! But I can say I got some much needed sleep and that was great. Anywho I’m so happy to be back and catch up with you guys. So let’s get back to our regular scheduled programming….
