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 ;)

-x-

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)

Turn a XL into a XS in Seconds!

One of my favorite tricks in the book is buying every size. 

To me, sizes don't define me. 

I can wear everything from a XS-XL. 

The trick is how you wear it!

This dress is from Rue 21 and is a XL.

But you wouldn't guess that on first glance right?

Check this out:

You can make two cute darts in the back using safety pins!

This is how I borrow my friends clothing, my moms or when I just MUST have a dress even though it doesn't fit. 

Safety Pin darts are easy and quick!

All you have to do is inside out your shirt or dress. Pinch two sections near the waist line and pin!

Inside it back out and there you have it! Try it on and edit it accordingly!

((If you have more time and own the dress *the one I am wearing I am borrowing* you can sew the darts in so they are forever!))

Hope this encourages you to look past your size range in the stores this summer :)

Thrifty Finds

So usually I only go to Goodwill when they are having a 50% off sale.

 (yes I am THAT cheap) 

BUT the other day was a exception.. due to the fact that well I was bored and felt like getting clothes.

 Judge all you want :D

So I go this haul for $53 (I also bought a movie and a brotank...) 

So if you do Kayla's Shopping Math

$53 / 13 Items = $4 per item! 

If I had bought all this on a sale day... My total would have been around $23 and $1.79 per item.
