stripes

I went shopping last week and found this shirt for $2.89 at Kohl's. Then with my 30% off discount, it ended up being less than $2!! I still can't get over how awesome that price is. Plus it is striped, and it contains my favorite color (yellow), along with my two favorite colors to pair it with (blue and grey). I think it's safe to say this shirt was meant for me, just sitting on the rack waiting for me to come along and pick it up.

I recently created twitter, pinterest, and instagram accounts for the blog. It was getting too tricky trying to use my personal accounts for these social media sites, so I just decided to keep it separate. You can find the links in the sidebar under my intro, in the shiny new little buttons I made for them! Hope to see you there!

Vacation Disneybounds

I recently took a trip to Disney World for the week, so of course I had to Disneybound each day. But my Disneybounding on a trip like that is different than here at home. First of all, it was in the 80's every day there, and second of all, I was walking 12-14 miles each day. Plus it all had to fit in my suitcase. So my plan was simple and cool. Because I'm a visual planner, I had to lay it all out on polyvore first.

I planned 8 and only needed 7, so I ended up not wearing the Flounder one, but I do plan to duplicate that in my life soon. Most of these pieces were bought either at Goodwill, eBay, or Kmart. Hence, very little money was spent and my wallet was happy. Here are the pictures of me wearing them! (Sorry the full length mirror was by the toilet!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the Minnie and Snow White outfits look familiar, it's because I just adapted them to more casual, warmer weather outfits from the ones that I previously wore. So simple! :)

Black & Pink- May 21st Outfit

Black and pink is a color combination I haven't worn in awhile but one that I like. It makes a statement. And I used to avoid black on black for a long time, until I realized how chic it can look. I think the key to making black on black work is to first wear skinny pants second, have some kind of statement accessory that pops. I found this scarf on Kohl's website for only $2, and the proceeds went to breast cancer research. Win-win! Sadly, it's not available anymore. I snatched up this adorable peacock ring at Kohl's in person last week for only $4.80. I think it's so cute and colorful! And I've worn these black tribal herringbone print pants from Loft before, but this time I took a picture so you can see up close how they look. I love them, because they make the pants interesting, but in a more subtle way so that you can still wear them a lot. Plus they are a thin and soft type of corduroy, making them extremely comfortable- always a plus!

ebay

I’ve been using ebay more and more lately, and I’m really happy with all of the purchases I’ve made from there so far. I find it especially useful if you’re looking for something specific, because chances are good that you’ll find it. For instance, I was looking for a red cardigan and found one for just a few dollars that was perfect and less than the price I’d find in any store. If you go in just to look, it can be overwhelming. I avoid the auctions and just do the “buy it nows”. Some tips that I have would be to read the descriptions thoroughly, check the seller’s rating, and check the shipping costs. Ebay can be a great way to find what you need for a fantastic price!
