As Close To The Ocean As I am going To Get..


H&M shirt: $3.99 from Goodwill
Aeropostale skirt: $8.00 from Aeropostale
Belt: $1.99 from Goodwill
Nine West shoes: $3.99 from Goodwill
Jewelry: gift


Total look: $17.97

I found this skirt at Aeropostale in the clearance section. I love this skirt, it reminds me of the ocean...and I must say that is as close to the ocean as I am going to get! What I wouldn't give to be on the beach right now enjoying the sun, music, and fun...sigh..there is always next year..
I wore this skirt when I had my "mommy and daughter day" with Emily. We go out once a week and have our day with just us together. I didn't wear this outfit quite like this. I wore this with a black tank top, and my hair up and I enjoyed the breezy day going through the downtown part of Westerville with my daughter. We were looking for shabby chic furniture for our living room at some of the beautiful shops, and we ended up not finding any furniture that I was looking for..and came home with a 50's pink bathing suit, clothes for work, and a mirror for the house. Emily and I finished off the day by eating at a cute little pub, and doing crosswords together. I always love the happy ending to the day when my daughter says.."mommy I had the funnest day ever!"..

Peace, Love, And Happiness...


American Eagle tank: $6.00 from Dresscode
Premier jeans: $8.00 from Dresscode
Express bag: $45.00 from Dresscode
Sandals: $3.99 from Plato's Closet
Necklace: $1.99 from Goodwill
Bracelet: $1.99 from Goodwill
Gap belt: $1.99 from Goodwill


Total look: $68.96 (now normally I would NEVER spend that much for a purse..but it was my consigner money, and I decided to splurge for the bag.)





I just started my new job this week, so I have been super busy trying to get everything done and adjusting to my new schedule, so my apologies for not being a good "blogger".
Here lately, I have been finding a lot of cute American Eagle things at the Dresscode, that I would not normally buy in the store (cost, and usually a little too plain for me) I loved this crochet peace tank top and I can wear this $6.00 top in a multitude of ways. I see that I will always pair it with these jeans, because I just love these jeans! I don't know what I would do without them! What else am I loving? This new haircolor! I don't know how long it will stay that bright when the sun shines on it but, this time I purchased Garnier Nutrisse Light Intense Auburn for dark hair. Loving it so far..we will see how long it lasts. 
Why label this posting Peace, Love, And Happiness? Well, the obvious for one is the peace shirt, and necklace..the love of the items, and haircolor, and for the peace and happiness of where I am at right now. I am finally getting to that place in my life where I am at peace with where I am, what I don't have, and the happiness to love what I do have. I always want better things, but when they happen they will..untill then I must be a peace, and love what I do have.

Grandma's Curtains?..


Espirit top: $1.00 from Salvation Army
Vintage skirt: $3.99 from Salvation Army
Olsenboye shoes: $12.99 from Plato's Closet


Total look: $16.98


This is a vintage skirt that I found from the Salvation Army a few weeks ago. I liked the cute novelty print on the skirt, but a friend of mine asked if the skirt was made from curtains..lol. I don't know if the skirt was made from grandma's curtains or not, but I still think that it is a cute 50's skirt. I will be putting this item up for sale on Ebay soon if you are interested in owning it! 
I want to learn how to make my own 50's skirts soon! I have never sewn before, and I am always intimidated by it, but there are so many fun skirts I could be making. I am going to be saving to get the parts that I need for my sewing machine so that I can try to teach myself. I have some really cute 50's patterns that I found at an antique shop, now to make them!

How To Dress-up Your T-shirts..


Old Navy tiger shirt: .50 from Salvation Army
Pink shorts: $8.00 from Plato's Closet
Aeropostale shoes: $8.00 from Aeropostale
Jewelry: $10.00 from yard sale


Total look: $26.50





I don't wear t-shirts much..but when I do, I like to dress them up. I do like silly t-shirts, or cartoon shirts, but I like to have fun and be creative when I am dressing them. I really thought that this tiger shirt was cute when I saw it a few weeks ago for half off day, and for .50 how could you refuse? I saw lot's of "bling" in this shirts future when I picked it up!
I found this cute necklace from my mother #2 in with her yard sale items, and I thought that it would be perfect to dress-up many outfits with, and that it was a great statement piece. The tennis shoes? well how could I resist? Bling on your shoes?..Yes, I will take them!
