Look of the Day: December 3rd

Today's look was inspired by my hair clip! I got it at Charming Charlie a while back for a steal and I have never worn it! So I saw it last night and thought, what the heck, let's give it a shot! :)

What I am wearing:
Bird T-shirt: Old Navy, $3.99
Sweater thingy: Goodwill $3.99
"Leather" jacket: Target $9.98***
(see the story below for this awesome deal!!)
Scarf: I don't remember where I got this, but if I had to guess it would be like Old Navy or somewhere like that!
Jeans: Lane Bryant...same ones I wore the other day but couldn't remember where they came from either! (looks like I loose my mind when I wear these, I can't remember where anything comes from!! lol)
Shoes: Goodwill, $3.99
Hair Clip: Charming Charlie, $4.95

Here is a closeup of my makeup and the clip!


***ok, so here is the story about the jacket!
I bought this jacket at a Target on black Friday for $19.98, a little over what I usually allow myself to spend on something, but I really loved the fit and had been looking for a motorcycle-esque leather type jacket for a while. (some description, huh? lol)

The next day I was in another Target buying a cook wear set that was on the 2 day black Friday sale and it was the only one in Austin...beside the point!...and I saw the same jacket hanging on the rack. God must have spoken to me, because I checked the tag...$9.98!!!! So I purchased that one and took the other one back!

So just another great reason to shop multiple target locations, because they all price differently, and you never know what you might find! :)

feeling light as a feather...OOTD - Nov. 29, 2009

Off to church this morning and then out to lunch with the family! So I wanted to be comfy....and wear my super cute new boots!

CLICK ME!! here is the link to the boots (I got mine for REALLY cheap...see below in the cost breakdown!! LOL)

Ok, so here is what I am wearing today...
tank with button and ruffle detail: Old Navy, $0.99!!
Brown cardi: Target, cant remember how much it was, I have had it for like 5 years!
Jeans: Lane Bryant (I found these in a drawer this morning, have NO idea how they got there or when I bought them! lol)
Boots: Target, $7.98!!!! STEAL!!!!
Necklace: Dots $6.00
Bag: I actually bought this forever ago, gave it to my sister when I didnt want it, then she didnt want it anymore either and gave it back! LOL I think I got it at Target, but I can't remember! {It's a bad day for prices on the bargainista! hehe}
Headband: I actually made this and I am considering selling them on etsy...what do you think? (detail pic below!)

so this is the reason for the title of today's post...feathers! :) LOVE them with the bling! I had a fun time making this!!

Outfit of the Day: November 22, 2009

I wore this 2 days after Miss.L's birthday to Church! :)
I LOVE this dress and had a blast wearing my new boots!! Check out the story below on them!!! LOL

What I am wearing:
Brown tank: Target, $3.74
Dress: Target, $6.47
Leggings: Walmart, $6.00
Cardi: Goodwill, $4.99
Boots: Torrid, $62.00
Necklace: Hannah D's, like $2.00 or something crazy cheap!
Bracelets: same as necklace!

Ok, so the story on the boots! I bought a pair of jeans a while back from Torrid, desperate for some jeans that would fit my body and stay fitted to my body! I bought a pair for $59.00, took them home and they were SO freaking uncomfortable, I can't even tell you. So I took them back, but I had already removed the tags, so they gave me store credit.
Well, I could never find anything I wanted to wear there, so I bought a pair of ankle boots. Took them home, tried them on in my living room for about 10 minutes and my feet were throbbing! I was starting to think I had REALLY bad luck when it came to buying stuff at Torrid! So I went back and saw they had these awesome boots and I was eyeing a pair of cowboy boots online, so I got these and I LOVE THEM!! They fit well and look awesome! So YAY! :) Success at Torrid, and I only had to pay like $3.00 for them after my store credit! hehe
