Where Did I Get That?

Hey there!! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day??  I had a lovely day, received some beautiful cards from my kids, a dainty surprise from my sister, went on a great run with my neighbor, and then Hubs came home late with flowers and a beautiful card...Sweet and simple!!

Thank you all for playing along with "Where Did I Get That?"  So, the answers to your burning questions...drum roll..please.

1. Clutch-Last year-Goodwill-Gap
2. T'shirt-Walmart-Norma Kamali  I just loved the necklace detail on the shirt..fun and quirky
3. Jeans-Goodwill-AE Boyfriend
4. Belt-My college days!!!-Gap
5. Watch/Bracelets-Target
6. Shoes-11 years old!!!-Nordstrom Rack
7. Blazer??  So, I have been searching high and low for a blazer like this.  I found a few at Kohl's by LC Lauren Conrad, but did not want to pay $70!! Yes, they were asking that much for a lightweight blazer??  I thought I would wait and see if TJ Maxx or Marshall's had one.  Well, I found this one that is perfect.  It is machine washable, no-wrinkle, with a little sheen to it and subtle details........at Goodwill for $3.99!!

  I know, so worth the wait! Sorry LC.  I will be restyling this quite often. 

 Stay tuned!  

Happy Weekend to you all. 

 What do you have planned? 

 We have a long weekend ahead and an overdue date night. 

YAY!

 Today is such a cra-zy day!! I have to be at all 3 of the kid's schools for Awards ceremonies, parties, etc!! So, with that being said, I am linking up with The Pleated Poppy for a little recap/rehash of what I wore here.

 What do you have on tap for today?  It is the end of the school year around these parts and we are in full celebration mode!


 Enjoy your day!

The Long of It

 Necklace-Thrifted, Gold bangles and watch-Target, Wooden bangle-Bitten by SJP, shoes that you can not see Old Navy Women's Capri Sandal(note in store they are $10.94, not $14.94)

An Old Navy outfit from top to bottom!! How did I pull that one off?  I am not sure, but it works and I will revisit this look again and again.  It is easy, stylish and fun all at the same time.  I got so many compliments on the entire look.  Everyone thought that the skirt was a dress!  The necklace is a conversation starter in and of itself!!  So much fun was had pulling this look together and wearing it. 

 This was my pre-race day outfit! Stay tuned for my race post coming soon!! I am still trying to upload my photos and rest my sore legs!! YIKES!! They hurt so good!!

Oh, I am linking up withThe Pleated Poppy-what i wore wednesday

I Am Not A Rule Follower

It's funny how people like to sum you up as something, or place labels on you without really knowing who you are at your core.  The other day I was leaving my son's school and I parked in the "long term" area and one of the moms announced that I was a "rule follower".  So, if parking where the principal instructed is being a rule follower, then yes, I guess I am.   Where is the mom this morning, would she call me that after seeing this post?   I am a stickler for rules and I function quite well, thank you very much, but when it comes to fashion the story changes all together.  I get a little naughty and don't always adhere to any "set" rules!! Wearing white after Labor Day?  Sign me up if it is still a bazillion degrees outside and  feels like summer/spring.  I hope that you find what works for you regardless of the season.  Have fun and enjoy, after all, it is just fashion, not politics.

This is the Remix

Maybe I should rethink doing my very own version of a 30 for 30, where I remix 30 pieces of clothing different ways?  I could start, you know, fresh for the fall.  Nah, why would I do that?  I am just enjoying the moments here and figuring it all out.  SO, in the meantime, here is a little photo of a dress I wore back in May for my first style profile, Me, My Style and I.  This dress gets very little time in the rotation, but garners a TON of compliments when I bust it out.  Here I added a little cardi, a beaded necklace I picked up the same day I scored the CFH jeans, a grosgrain d-link belt(prep factor), and patent wedges.  So fun, I might have to bust this out on my next date night.  It was mentioned by the little 5 year old man child that we need to get a sitter and go on a date SOON!! Apparently, we don't get out enough if the little one is URGING us to go out.  Stay tuned..

Simple

I think I am in a RUT??  Do you ever feel this way?  I need to organize my things, purge, regroup.  The kids started back to school and I am sort of floundering in some areas and flourishing in others.  It is the strangest thing to not be organized when I thought I was all prepared?  Oh well, I digress, here is the outfit for today.  I decided to PRESS ON!!  I will be at the drawing board, literally getting my act together.

Tank-Target, Skirt- Kohls, Belt-Francescas, Bag-Target, Flats-Old Navy

Happy Wednesday!!
 

Me, My Style and I (My mother gets the credit for the title)

 Well, let's call today's post, Me, My BUY and I!! I did not have an adult present to photograph me this morning, as my hubs is away for work. So, there was a cute outfit, but I do not have am image of it.  Don't fret girls, it's all good!!
  I ran out to my local Goodwill to score a few items to make a Flapper style dress for our oldest daughter's graduation week at school!! Well, well, guess what I stumbled upon???? A clutch for me!! I know, you are wondering why do I not have a clutch?? I guess I just have a deep affinity for my huge, suitcase-like, bottomless adventure of a handbag.  I adore clutches, but the bigger the bag, the better for me!! It is sort of like the wolf in the Little Red Riding Hood story. 
  I scored the perfect one for me, just the right size, smoke and odor free to boot!! How much do you ask?  Of course, I was never a name dropper or a price tag snob, but I paid a whopping $2.99 for this beauty!! I can not wait to employ this slick clutch with the perfect date night outfit.  Stay tuned for details......Keep stylin'
