These are just a couple items I've picked up over the last couple weeks. The pj shorts above are from Goodwill, but are Target brand and still had the tags on them! They were $2 and I don't know about you, but I LOVE light cute shorts to wear to be in the summer. I'm not a huge fan of slips or nightgowns because I tend to get tangled up in them. These are perfect.

And the capri sweats below are Soffee, are super comfortable and were only $1.50 on Salvation Army's 1/2 day. Perfect for working out and bumming around the house. They've become my go-to the instant I come home from work. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I'm home, I am most definitely in sweats and a t-shirt. I walk in the house and immediately change.
And there is a wonderful giveaway going on at Dreamy Whites!!! Head over there to check it out. That is if you like absolutely beautiful duvet sets in soft gorgeous colors.:)

Happy Friday!!!:)

Do you remember this jacket? Well I finally got it altered. And even though the $7 deal was no longer a deal because altering a blazer is no cheap thing, it was definitely worth it and I'm sure still less expensive than buying it new.
I'm feeling like I'm gonna be using this a lot. I can throw this puppy on with practically anything.
Another chilly day... I'm having to remind myself that it is still March, so I should expect it to be 80 everyday. I'm just dying to wear dresses with no sweaters and flip flops instead of boots!

So Eric's car got broken into lastnight. That has nothing to do with my outfit today, its just been bugging me. Thankfully they left my car alone which had cash in the glove compartment and Ipod adapter. I'm just glad Eric was home. This would totally have freaked me out if he was gone. They did take his flying gear which costs over $1000. Thankfully its Air Force issued and we are hoping they will replace it no problem, but I'm sure it will take a ton of paperwork before we get reimbursed.

Moving on to treasures that haven't gotten stolen. (wow, quite the transition eh?) This one is a L in womens, but don't put it past me to wear mens shirts. I do. I have. But this one is from Gap and is from the ladies section. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be able to wear this with a bunch of stuff.
It got cold again. So we are still rockin' the boots.

I would have showed you this sooner, but we spent all weekend painting our kitchen cabinets. I'm pretty stoked about them. They're gonna look FAB-ulous.

I found this on Sunday at the Goodwill. A new one had opened up right down the street where we go to church and so I begged the hubby if we could go. We actually got some friends of ours to come with and had a wonderful time roaming around looking for treasures. I found this for $3 and really really love it. It isn't a brand name that I recognize, but I don't mind. I love that its gray and white stripes and of course, loose and has 3/4 length sleeves.
This reminds me of Amber.:) She is actually sporting an off the shoulder look in her latest post and she totally rocks it. I think this shirt is meant for that, but I don't think I can pull it off.
So this will have to do.:) But its 70 degrees out today!!! Yippee! I think Spring is FINALLY on the way.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm pretty excited/proud of this one. When I was at Salvation Army this past Wednesday, I decided to peruse the skirt section. I have bought long skirts before at a thrift store and turned them into strapless dresses. And thats what I had in mind for this skirt that was as homely as it could be. The elastic was pretty tight and so I knew it would work as a dress. But then I got an idea! I loved the trend that came out last summer of the short floral flowy skirts that girls tucked t-shirts into and put on a belt or just had an elastic waist - they were super cute but I just never bought one. Probably because I knew they were a trend therefore didn't want to spend the money on one unless it was super cheap - which meant my place of shopping was F21 but theirs were all too short for me. A girls gotta cover up! So anyway, thats what I decided to do. Crop that sucker!

Pretty hideous eh? Ahh, the potential in things that no one else sees. All for a mere $2.
Hahahaha, I look like a homeschooled mom. And I can say that cause I was homeschooled.:) Betcha ya didn't know that about me, now did you?
And off came about 10 inches, with room to hem. I was too anxious to show you that I didn't iron it out once I sewed it. So here she is!!

Yay for cute summer skirts! I could have worn this yesterday cause it was so warm out, but now its SNOWING today on the first day of Spring! Craziness. Happy weekend though!!!

I got this little number for ONE STINKIN' DOLLAR!!!!! Yeah thats right.:) I'm not sure if its meant as a pool cover-up or just as a cute cotton black dress, but I'm thinking I can use it for either. Its super comfortable, and the elastic around the top is really tight, so I have no worries of it falling. I love the little gathering around the empire waist - gives it a girly touch.

Ps - sorry about my smudgy mirror! I just windexed it too! Goes to show you my windex skills - NOT THAT GREAT.

Annnnd this is what I'm wearing today. Please don't judge. I know its a big ugly baggy sweater but its SO comfortable and its cooooold outside (said in my best whining voice ever) I am a sucker for baggy sweaters that just engulf me. And if they're ugly? All the better.
This one happens to be from L.L.Bean - so who knows how much the original owner paid for this shindig. I bought it for $2.50. And in my opinion, was a very well spent $2.50. I don't think I could have spent more though.
I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday - almost the weekend!!!!
