Lucky Little Lady

The weather has been absolutely fantastic lately!

Cool mornings, Toasty Afternoons and Warm nights :) 

My Favorite!

I think out of every backdrop I have used.. this one is my favorite! 

It is in our downtown and it is just... perfect. 

I love the color of the bricks and the lighting and just everything all together :)

I was feeling a lot better this week so I actually got ready! 

Don't think I forgot about Here and Wow -- My health is my main focus right now... I guess you could say its my Here and Now.. (Get it??)

So in todays outfit I am wearing a A-Line Shirt from Cotton On  for $10

(Love this store! It is so affordable and adorable!!)

-x-

A cute cream and orange purse -- I wish I could say where this is from but I can't!

I have no idea! It was a free purse with a purchase of make-up but I cannot remember what one and there is no label on it!

 (AHEM, terrible marketing strategy -- If you are going to make a amazing bag put your information on it so I can purchase more from you!!)

-x-

My skirt is a somewhat DIY- I got it from a local thrift store for around $5 and cut off around 4ish inches :) 

-x-

My belt is from JCPenny it came with a blouse I bought a few years back. I actually ended up never wearing the shirt but I ALWAYS use the belt.

  Some people mistake it for a weight lifting belt... I keep that in my car though ;)

I like to call my footwear Horse Shoes because the U cut and the buckle just always remind me of horse back riding. 

I got them from Savers for $8 -- They are originally from Lucky!

I guess I just got LUCKY with that find ;)

I also bought the awesome tribal necklace at Savers for $5!! 

It makes me feel like a warlord in the native lands.

Until next time (which will hopefully be sooner than later)

 Further exploration into my 'fashion tip'

The reason I say long dress = high shoes is because {being 5'2} when skirts, dresses, shorts etc. go past your knee you start to look very scrunched and overtaken by the item. 

Don't let your clothes wear you -- show them who is boss and work together :)

-x-x-x-

I absolutely love this outfit it is a go-to when I need to be semi-casual/dressy. 

Ps: can you imagine how long of a skirt this would have been on me! 

When I tried it on at Nordstrom as a dress one of the workers was flabbergasted by the fact that you could wear a skirt as a dress! 

I was taken-aback by the fact that she had never done it before!

Outfit Total: $43

Worn 5+ times

=$8.6 per wear

(it could actually be seen as cheaper considering I wear all the items with various other outfits!)
