Thrifting Throwback

Happy Thursday Blog Buddies!!!! Today is NOT about an outfit post… I wanted to share a few items that I scored purchased from the Thrift Store late December that I didn’t get a chance to share with you all.

I wasn’t overly thrilled about this thrifting trip as I am new thrifter and I will be the 1^st to admit that I am an AMATEUR by all means when it comes to thrifting!!!! My daughter has a knack for thrifting and has become a PRO at it and I’m wondering where she gets it from because surely she didn’t get it from her MAMA!

Well, I will allow you all to be the judge and let me know how I did on my 1^st time Thrifting without the help of my Thrifting Blog Buddies... the QUEENS of Thrifting  Kerrie of Virtuous Styls and Keren of Two Stylish Kays  

Cobalt Blue Shirt-Blazer $1.94

Plaid Pleated Skirt - $2.48

Blue Dress - $2.00

Plaid Shirt - $1.50

Red Wool Shorts - $1.20 *Seen worn here 

Hot Pink Skirt - $1.39

Yellow Skirt - $1.95

Yours Truly... PRICELESS!!!! LOL!!!!

I spent a TOTAL of $12.46 - So what'cha think???

Note to You: Since this trip I have been back (2) two more times and I seem to get better with time… I still can’t find EXACTLY what I’m looking (A MAJOR SCORE) At any rate, how do you guys think I did on my 1^st Thrifting trip?

SN: Today, is the 1^st day of LENT Season did you give up Thrifting, Shopping, Caffeine, or ANYTHING???   

As for me I’m giving up Caffeine!!!! (this is gonna be a tough cookie)

Peace, Love, & Fashion

Wordless Wednesday... Guilty Pleasure!

Bowtie, Leopard, & Boy Jeans

Happy Monday Blog Buddies!!!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as for MOI – Hubby & I along with another couple (our friends) went to Chateau Élan for a Romantic Getaway Weekend and we had an awesomely great time.

At any rate… I’m in a SUPA DUPA X-CITED mood!!!! I have WON not (1) one but (2) TWO blog giveaways this month… I would like to thank (Whitney) k/a Nic over at: Nic's-Picks & Julie over at: Pop Champagne for hosting such great giveaways!!!! Thank you ladies… I thoroughly enjoy reading both of your blogs and just might be slightly considered a blog “stalker” lol

Soooo… today I am sharing an outfit that I wore the other day… It’s just a lil something I put together at the last minute. Hubby always try and make a FUSS about me ironing and getting my clothes together the night before but I NEVER do because my style change so often that I NEVER know what mood I’m going to be in when I wake up!

 What I Wore:

Boy Jeans: Old Navy  

Leopard Blouse: Macy's {old}

Brown Sweater Vest: NY & CO. {old}

Red Bowtie: Belt Buckle {old}
Leopard Flats: Payless

Earrings: LA Lynn's

Note to You: I pick out what I am going to wear on the day of depending on what type of mood I’m in and when planning ahead for a special date night, GNO, Concert or etc. I typically buy (2) two outfits so I can have a multiple choice and won’t be married to just one outfit. Because at the time of planning I may have felt a skirt was suitable then on the day of the event I may want to switch it up to pants/jeans so I like having CHOICES. Do your mood determine your outfit? Do you prepare your outfit(s) the night before or the day of???

~Until next time…

Bikini Anyone???

Earlier today, I went to the Mall to pick up my contact lenses (No shopping allowed). I told myself… SELF: U R NOT going to do any shopping… U R only here for one thing and one thing only! If you go into a store you can only L@@K!

I mean who can really go into the Mall w/o even l@@king? Right?

So while at the MALL browsing… I come across a RACK of Swimsuits!!!!



Taken with my Android



That little rack of Swimsuits was only a teaser – seeing those swimsuits only made me crave for more! So, once I got to the PC I started searching Swimsuits… here are some of my FAVES!

If you don't do Bikini's... you can opt for a Tankini

 If you are still NOT feeling it... go for a CLASSY but SEXY one piece

Don't forget about your Beach Cover-up... *added touch*

Picture Source: Victoria's Secret.com – but don’t sleep on Macy's they have some really cute styles too… I just didn’t want to overwhelm y’all with pics!!!! 

Oh & before I go… I wanted to share this picture that was sent to me by one of my accessory vendors. I was told this was a HOT ITEM & a BEST SELLER!!!! If you know where they are wearing this at please let me know!

I posted the pic on my Facebook page cause I needed more explanation as to why & where can you wear this too? It look like it hurts… OUCH!!!!

 I have ROCKED a few bikini's in the past but I've kind of shy away from them but this year I think I’mma work on these ABS & get myself a BIKINI!!!!

*STAY TUNED*  

Do you prefer 2 piece or 1 pc Swimsuit and why???!!!

Note to You: Don’t allow other opinions to clout your judgment!!!!

If you want it… FLAUNT IT!!!!

Sneak Peek Pic - I posted on Twitter & Facebook prior to this blog post

But before going to the movies – my oldest daughter wanted to stop by the Local Thrift Store but to our surprise they were CLOSED so as we are going about our MERRY WAY… we happen to pass by a newly built Goodwill in the area so we ventured inside:

I had my EyEs on this GREEN Blazer!!!!
The color was FAB but I think it made me look like an ELF. 0[^_^]0

Ok... so now to the actually OOTD! (Well, not today but on that day) lol
