Things I Can Wear and So Can You

March 19, 2010 by

I have always gravitated towards flowy and loose tops. Before I lost the weight that I did pre-wedding, no one thought I needed to lose anything by looking at me. And when I would say I was dieting, they would tell me some tale of me being out of my mind- that I looked fine already.  I was good at disguising is what it was. Well, now that I’m pregnant, my pants are getting tight and my previously not round belly is starting to have a little done-lapped over my pants situation.  So enter my love of flowy tops. Here we go ladies, these are your best friend.. let me tell you. Prego or not.

  1. Walmart, Organic Chambray Key Hole Top
  2. Forever21, Silk Flounce Top
  3. Kohls, Twisted Chiffon Tunic
  4. Chadwicks, Diamond Inset Goddess Tank
  5. Victorias Secret, Tiered Silk Georgette Shell
  6. Forever21, Eyelet Trim Woven Top
  7. Chadwicks, The Tiered Tee
  8. Victorias Secret, Tiered Linen Halter Sweater

Things I Love Under $10.00

March 15, 2010 by

I think the title speaks volumes here, but there are some great deals and steals that should scooped up FAST. I mean, ruffles, springy color, and fun accessories… all under a 10 spot. Wow, now that’s what I call a bargain.

  1. Forever21, Ruffle Knit Top – I was gifted this at my birthday time and I LOVE it. Perfect under a bright cardi while its still chilly and perfect alone in the warmer weather.
  2. Old Navy, Jersey Tote– Perfect for carrying books, carrying groceries or carrying as a purse. Soft as a baby’s bottom and dirt cheap!
  3. Walmart, Olivia T Thong Sandals– Who doesn’t need a $10.00 girl pop of pink in the form of a sandal for a neutral spring outfit?!?
  4. Walmart, Island Thong Sandals– These shoes were made for walkin! I wear a pair of these faux crocs every year when we Tipsy girls spend all damned day long walking miles upon miles antique shopping in April. No blisters, no nothing… like walking on air.
  5. Forever21, Raw Turquoise Pendant– This necklace falls right in like with the jewelry trends for fall combining the “hottest color” and the mineral look for a very minimal price.
  6. Walmart, Norma Kamali Women’s Draped Jersey Tank – Beautiful draping that could work for officewear or a night on the town.. and UM $8!
  7. Forever21, Metal and Turquoise Wood Bracelet– This is a $6 statement all over your wrist. Style, style, style.
  8. Walmart, Sophia Patent Thong Sandals – Instead of your usually pop of red shoe… how about try sunshine yellow and for $10.00 it’s worth the risk!
