Sushi Date...

So.... this is what I wore to sushi recently... Would you believe that I am cheap even about my dates?? Sure, why wouldn't you? Sushi dates are at 9:00 p.m.  Why?? Because that is happy hour at kobe's and Sushi is CHEAP!!! We eat until we can't see another piece of sushi as long as we live and the bill is usually about $21.00.  Yea, that's how we do it.  

Hope you're having a nice weekend :)

Blazer and Jeans II

Another blazer and jeans... I told you I love this look, right?  Here is part two.  I wore this to dinner and a movie... What would you wear this to??

Blazer is from Lauren Conrad at Kohls off the sales... obviously.  Shoes are Vera Wang and my all time favorite pair.  Bag is Kenneth Cole which was a birthday present from my husband long time ago.  He got it at Costco of all places but it is my favorite.  Jeans are from the Guess outlet and are old.  This is an easy look to duplicate because it's chic and classic.  most of us can find these piece easily. Happy weekend everyone!!!

A little nautical... Just a little...

Jacket: Ann Taylor (thirfted)  - Pants: New York & Co., Bag: Target (old) Jewelry: Forever 21.  Can I just say today was a LONG day... I wish could have been at the beach!(Maybe that's why I went with Nautical?? Coincidence??  The sun FINALLY came out after DAYS of rain.  I am posting this at 12:19 a.m so it's officially Friday!! Yay!! Bring on the weekend!!

Blazer and Jeans I

 My first of many outfits that include blazers and jeans.  It's one of my favorite looks except now that it's summer, add color!! Blazer is from TJ Maxx $15.00.  It is cotton so it works well in the summer.  Shirt is super old and I don't remember where I got it but the idea is the color.  Jeans are form Guess Outlet $12.00, Shoes are Candies from Kohls $13.00 with all my usual tricks.

T-shirt Casual - add some fun!

Keeping it causal with khakis and a T-shirt...but why not add a little fun.  This scarf is SUPER light and so comfy yet it added a whole lot of personality to the look.  Then, add some fun sunglasses and accessories and there you go.  My favorite accessory is the sweaty monkey clinging on to my shoulder while I take pictures as he runs around in the back yard.  He is not for sale and is NOT cheap! I can promise you that!

 :)

Otherwise, my scarf is from Target, on sale  now.  My pants New York & Co. and a grey t-shirt, well, you can find that anywhere! Shoes are from Macy's on sale for something like $8.00 about 6 months ago.  I NEVER go into Macy's, I don't know why but I don't.  However, I had an old gift card to there that I found in my wallet and boy was I glad I went.  These are the most comfy shoes ever.  

DIY Necklace - My Favorite!

I have been soooo sick this week! Like in 

bed, out of commission sick!! So.... I skipped a couple days! Here are the remaining looks this week has to offer:  What I want to show you in this picture more than anything else is my necklace.  Why you ask? Because I MADE IT! I bought a ring like 2 centuries ago and it broke... cheap ring, I know.  Well, I loved it so much that I made a necklace out of it.  I bought thin wire and a lobster claw to hook it with and there you have it!  Its one of my favorites and one of a kind.  You can always do that with old jewelry.  It is so much fun! This dress is from Lauren Conrad at Kohls, shoes are from Body Central (old) and yellow cardigan from Ann Taylor (thrifted).

Another day at the office...

There goes that necklace again... you know, my favorite! Basically, I add this thing to PJ's and I'm in love! I really need to work on my make up a bit, but I snapped this picture on my way home from work.  Nothing fancy.  This skirt is WAY old, the shirt was on sale at Banana Republic for about $8.00 and my shoes are from Shoe Land back when all their shoes were $10.99.  You know, back when dinos ruled the world and life was simple. ;) There you have it... Happy HUMP DAY!!

Soccer mom shorts don't have to be boring!

Add some color!! We are officially enjoying SUMMER!! I love it!! Jazz it up with some cute heels and accessories and you just turned your old mom shorts into chic stylish shorts. :)  Everything I am wearing is pretty old.  Accessories are J Crew from Ebay, which i get sooooo much cheaper.

                                                    Have a GREAT Tuesday!!! Add some color!

My $3.69 old lady shirt...

So.... basically I bought an old lady shirt that most people wouldn't have taken a second look at.  I paired it with some skinnies and tied it all together with fun, chunky accessories.  I don't know if you get this about me but.... I'm kind of different.... I think it you have to see the potential in certain pieces and see the whole picture.  Don't rule it out until you ask yourself, what can I use this with to make it original? I think the easiest way to do that is accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!! You can really surprise yourself!

My shoes are Jessica Simpson from TJ Maxx.  What do you tell yourself when you look at bright PINK shoes at the store?? I say, I think I'll pair them with my funny old lady shirt, that's what you say... lol.  Jewelry is from Forever 21.

Smile... like you're up to no good...

Smile because you're happy, smile because it's BEAUTIFUL today and the sun has FINALLY come out.  SMILE because its our very best accessory to wear!! But most of all, hopefully you can smile... because you are up to no good ;)

It's a Polka Dot kind of day...

So... I wish I could give you more details abou this outfit but I can't! The shirt is an old Ann Taylor shirt and promise I don't remember anything more about it.  Try this and this The skirt is a no-name skirt that I found at a consignment shop. Try this The shoes, yes, I know... pretty awesome. Some options here.  Maybe?

AND FINALLY... My giant green envelope clutch... Ebay $10.00.  That's a wrap! :)

Rain Rain GO AWAY!!

There has been sooooo much rain here in Florida lately.  Seems like I forgot what the sun looks like.  Given the occasion, lets go with a trench and an umbrella :) I bought this at Kohls this spring for $20.  Yes, I used all my Kohls tricks to get it cheap! My shoes are really old but try these  or these plus get free shipping.
