Which Cost More

In the summer when I was growing up I use to LOVE watching the Price Is Right. My favorite games was the one where you had to guess which one cost more.

When I was getting ready for church today I kind of had my own little version of that game. I recently went on a day trip to a lovely place called Unclaimed Baggage with a friend. I came away with more things for my kids than I did myself but I really racked up at the Goodwill down the street. I know crazy to think we drove 3 hours through mountain roads just to end up at Goodwill but it was worth the trip!! I guess I'm just a hardcore thrifter like that!

One of my favorite items was a snakeskin printed dress & a pink belt that I wore today. I paired them with a pair of Pewter wedges that I got at another store I LOVED to shop in BTGC ( before thriftygrlchallenge) but now only go in for their shoes. They have the best deals on shoes as you are about to find out.

So here's the game Guess Which One Cost more: The Dress, the belt or the Shoes...

Dress- $5.50- Goodwill

Belt- $2.00- Goodwill

Shoes- $13.00-Rugged Warehouse

So if you guessed the shoes you were right!!

Still I'm pretty excited about a whole outfit costing $20!! I Love Thrifting!

Re-Cycle

When I was planning my wedding,  I knew from day one I had to wear Hot Pink Satin Peep Toe heels. I love hot pink and I was really excited to find the perfect shoes to match what I had in mind. So I started searching everywhere and after about 2 weeks of online searching and store searching I found them

and here they are in their debut

I love those shoes! I really wanted to wear them again but didn't know how to pull them off without being too formal or looking like I was going to the club. If you know what I mean?! Then I saw this pic on Pinterest  (the most wonderful website EVER)

And it gave me an idea for an outfit where I could re-cycle these shoes back into my wardrobe!  I have a striped shirt almost just like that I got on clearance after Christmas before "thriftygrlchallenge" or BTGC.

I didn't wear the jacket because it is about 100 degrees here in Georgia right now. However I am looking forward to the Fall when I can add the jacket for yet another chance to  re-cycle these heels!

Little Blue Dress

So I just had a b'day & I got a little spending money. I made it go as far as I could but one item I was the most excited about. A little blue dress from Old navy that only cost $15. It is the softest t-shirt material and can be worn with wedges or flat sandals depending on the occasion. You know I love a versatile piece of clothing.

One such occasion I wore it was in Savannah, Ga on a little trip with my husband. I wore it to dinner with some flat sandals becuase I knew we would be walking on River street & I wanted to be comfy.  My "LBD" (little blue dress)was a perfect outfit for dinner & walking down river street at Sunset.

So this year the color Navy has been EVERYWHERE! You can see it in all the home decorating magazines & fashion magazines. I have caught the bug as well. There's nothing more classic to me than the color Navy & it really seems to be the new black for summer & spring.

I live about 30 miles south of Atlanta. I love going to the city for any number of reasons but on a specific day a couple of weeks ago a friend asked me to go to the Goodwill in Atlanta. I think there are a couple but the one we went to was off of Buford highway. This friend has been there before and never come out empty handed.

I was super excited to say the least. I had my list all planned out of the items I was looking for. To me that is very important so I don't just go crazy & buy stuff I won't wear just becuase it only cost about $6. I have been looking for a navy blazer for a while. Everytime I would go into a thrift store I would always look, so I was on a mission.

Lo & behold I found a navy blazer. Not just any navy blazer but an H &M navy blazer that fit like a glove. It was like Christmas & I had just gotten that one gift I REALLY wanted. I have really have to stop myself from wearing everyday but there are so many ways & looks I can wear it with it's hard. For now I will leave you with just one of many looks I am wearing with my navy blazer. Jeans, striped tank, wedge sandals & a turquoise necklace
