baby blues

Been wanting to mix dark and light jeans for awhile.

Love this shirt from American Eagle. Less than $10!

Found this hard core watch at the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World.

Just what I've been looking for

All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go.....

Last week of summer and what am I doing? Throwing clothes together. A little pathetic but who knows when I'll have time to do that once...............SCHOOL starts. Bleh.

Can you sense the enthusiasm?

Well I never thought of pairing zipper jeans with heels, but it was a surprisingly good match. At least I have an outfit all planned out for my next party :)











shirt: Marshalls

jeans: american eagle

shoes: white house black market

belt: Target (men's dept.)

I'm also excited to say that my hair is finally long enough to experiment! After blow drying I put in mousse to give it some wave.

Here's what it looks like..................and some other pictures of me goofing off.

Boring day at home.......

I had to turn in my paperwork so I can officially drive to school. YAY!

Nothing fancy, just a layed back outfit I threw together.

The shorts were originally cuffed, but I found I liked them better uncuffed. Not as "super-skank-esque".

This is the shirt I got from Urban Outfitters on my Indiana trip. The back looks like angel wings.

Beula puppy :)

Besides registering for parking, I read some in my summer reading book, Secret Life Of Bees. I already saw the movie, but the book is pretty good, too.

The Classics with a little twist.

tank: Urban Outfitters

cami (underneath): Gap

shorts: American Eagle Outfitters

necklace: Mom's

belt: Target (men's dept.)

shoes: Converse (from Marshalls)

Wore this to lunch at the original pancake house with my best friend. Random, but I thought it would be a good experiment with a vest.

shorts: American Eagle Outfitters

tank: Old Navy

vest: Richard Chai for Target

key necklace: ?

long necklaces: Marshalls (american eagle)

sandals: Target

belt: Target, men's section

One picture is with a small key necklace, and the other is with some longer layers of necklaces. I personally like the longer necklaces better, but that's just me.

That tank top now has tye dye spots all over it, which reminds me that I need to buy a new one.

If you haven't noticed, I'm OBSESSED with these sandals. I got them at Target for maybe like $20, and I wear them with everything. I also have them in white, but the black patent ones are my favorite.

Nite.

Artsy Chic?

dress: american eagle outfitters

leggings: simply vera vera wang, kohl's

sandals: old navy

cami (underneath): rampage, tj maxx

twilight necklace: from my best friend

I wore this outfit on Saturday to a friend's house. We watched American Pyscho and Newsies. Notice a pattern?

Christian Bale. And my friend is in love.

American Psycho was a little much for me at times, since some of the scenes were........not exactly PG-rated. But there was something about it that was brilliant. I guess I got some symbolic meanings out of it. At times it was funny, at others it was disturbing, but it was interesting to watch. Even though dad didn't seem to apporove.

Newsies I could have done without, but we were talking at the same time, so I wasn't paying that much attention. I'm just not that in to musicals.

Back to my artsy chic outfit. I call it that because my friend told me I looked like I was about to go paint something. I thought that was kinda funny.

It is one of my favorite, easy chic outfits, and it is soooooo comfortable. And a little secret? I was wearing a fabulous leopard print cami underneath.

And to finish off? As you can see, the pink hair has been reduced. Since I got a letter from school informing me that pink hair was not "acceptable", I was forced to take measures that made it less "POW!" So I dyed half back to its almost natural state. Because let's face it, they will never match it exactly.

And right at this very moment, my hair is actually half pink, half purple. The pink was starting to fade, and all I wanted to experiment with the purple I had at home. I'm not as satified, so when I get a chance I'll run over to Sally to buy some pink for touch-ups.

I will admit. I am a thrifty shopper. If something can be cheap and chic, why pay more?





That's why I go straight to the sale section whenever I go into overpriced stores like american eagle or hollister or a&f. They always seem to have good deals. And yes, I do shop at mass retailer stores like that.





The only place I don't do that is at Target (pronounced tar-gey, for a fancified effect), because their stuff is already so effin cheap it's totally worth full price.





Some other cheap favs? TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I think I've been to about every one of them within a 50 mile radius of my house. Yes, the stuff may be last season. Yes, they occasionally have nauseating tacky clothes. No, they aren't always classy or fabulous. But they save me money. And that is my shopping mantra.





Here is a peek at one of my cheap and chic outfits. Half of it was on sale, and the other stuff from places that are inexpensive to begin with.

1. Bright Blue Quarter Sleeve Motorcycle(?) Jacket, Pure Rebel > $10.00 at TJ Maxx

2. White Tee, Pssst! > around $7.00 at Nordstrom Rack

4. Reversible Patent Leather Skinny Belt > around $20.00 at White House Black Market

5. Black Patent Eleora Sandal, Merona > around $20.00 at Target

Stylish at a Great Price. Hell-to-the-YESSSSS
