Weekend Wear

My sister came into town last weekend and we had a number of errands to run, so I threw this on.  Weekend dress can be hard for me. I want to be comfortable, but I don't want to look like a slob.  I remember when I was 20, and was totally content to go out on a Saturday morning with my hair in a poneytail, while wearing baggy sweat pants; those days are long gone for me.  Anyway, the outfit: I just got this scarf for a steal and really like it.  I believe it has a skull on it, which is totally NOT me, but I love the color combo and think it's a fun addition to my wardrobe.  How about you? Any great tips to share about weekend dress?

Satin, Lace, and a Giveaway!

I ran across this skirt at a trendy new and used clothing store called The Giving Tree. You walk in and it looks and feels like an expensive boutique, but has thrift store prices on trendy used clothes. I love going there, and am always so happy with my finds. They buy clothes on site, so it's easy to bring in clothes to sell, and pick up new ones in the process. Totally up my alley. And the necklace. I am in love with this. I recently found it and thought it was such a great statement piece. I decided it was worthy of my fist giveaway. Look down below for details.

Oh, I love a good deal

Fashion is something that I've always loved, affordable or not so affordable, if I've loved it I've bought it.  After getting married my husband and I created a budget (gasp) and although my interest in fashion didn't change, my budget did. Since then I'm always trying to get as much bang for my buck as possible. Through this blog I hope to show that you can wear cute, stand-out fashion on a budget.
