OOTD


Now that work has started again I get pretty busy especially with all this grad school stuff to so I decided to do an Outfit Of The Day. if I don't have time to post how to's  at least you can get an idea of how to put random stuff together.
Sorry for a bad blurry picture but I was trying to get a good picture of my new necklace. Normally I don't do big chunky necklaces but I decided to try and I am loving it. It's from groopdealz an it was under $10. Also here is another example if how to mix stripes with prints. Top and cardigan from Target and skirt from Old Navy and shoes from Ross of course!
Another mixing prints with stripes and finally some fall colors. Top shoes and jeans from Target. Cardigan from Bella Ella Curvy.

Tip about new shoes: So I thought I would suggest this because it's something I learned the hard way. I used to work at a shoe store which I shall not name since they fired me without cause, didn't give me my "3 written warnings" and the day before the owner told me I was doing a great job. Oh and if I go in there they will call the cops. Dramatic I know. I'm not bitter or anything..... This store  sells cheap shoes and breaking them in always made my feet hurt. I have scars on my heels and some of my toes from breaking in new shoes. Now what I learned is if you are breaking in shoes and you will be walking a lot you need two things. Band aides and another pair of shoes. Don't ruin your feet! Today I wore my new cheap shoes so I kept band aides in my pocket and another pair of shoes in my purse.  This way when my toe started to hurt I put a band aide on it before I had a blister. I didn't have to use my other pair of shoes but they were there just in case! 

Just know your shoes. Cheap shoes hurt more because they aren't nice material but who can afford nice shoes? The only way I do is because of Ross. Nicer shoes usually aren't as bad but if your not sure just take those band aides and an extra pair. 

Take care of your feet and enjoy!

Ross Dress for Less

I know I ALWAYS talk about Ross and how you can get great shoes there but I never show you. Here are some of the great shoes I have gotten there. Hopefully this gets you excited and makes you actually go check it out and find an amazing deal! All of the shoes in the picture cost under $20 and all but one pair are nice name brands that they sale at Norstrom!

So these were my first Ross purchase. Well not first purchase but it was my first pair of shoes for a great deal. These are Steve Maddens and I LOVE them. Normally around $70 or $80 got them for less than $20!




Okay these 3 pairs are all Report usually like $60 ish but I got them for less than $20 each. The pink are my new favorite but I love the brown and the black because I have a hard time with neutrals but these both have cute detailing that makes them different enough for me to like them:)

Okay these are my new favorite shoes that I got just a couple weeks ago for my new school shoes! Aren't they the cutest? Again Report normally $60 ish

I know these are goofy but what can I say. I am a crazy cat lady and they were only $6 of course because no one else would want them but they are Report as well. Normally around $45

Okay so these aren't name brand but they were cheap enough that I felt like they were worth it. These are Classified a brand you can just get at Forever Young but like I said they were cheaper. I can remember how much though.

These are new for school too. Way cute and same thing Report brand normally $60 got them for less than $20

I wear these all the time! Me and my sister got them because they are amazing and so comfortable. I believe that these are Report too. Neon pink adds to any outfit right? Normally $60 got them for less than $20

See. Neon pink does wonders!

I LOVE these because I got the same pair in a different color from Nordstrom for $65 and then found these at Ross for less than $20. Report brand

Same shoe again different pattern

And black Report flats. Hate black shoes but these are sparkly so it works.

Some Coral shoes my momma found there that I am so jealous of. I believe these are Steve Madden
Hope this gets you excited! Makes me want to go shopping!

Enjoy!

My New Favorite Thing

So my husband and other people get annoyed with me because I always say that things are my favorite but here's the thing. . . . If I buy something of course it is my favorite. Why would I buy something that isn't my favorite? I wouldn't! I only buy things I love so yes I have lots of favorites!

So anyways. . . I'm going to tell you about my newest favorite thing! Yesterday I went shopping with my sister to get her husband a birthday present and while we were at the mall I found my new favorite store! I haven't been to the university mall in a long time so I have no idea how long it has been there but it is called
They had the cutest stuff. I loved everything there. It reminded me of a cheap smaller version of Anthropology. It was a neat store and it is where I got my new owls

How cute are these hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil owls? They match my house perfectly
I also got this cute new wallet to upgrade from my giant bulging floral one!

So its a super cute store with fun random stuff like Anthropology and then lots of cute reasonably priced clothes. I don't have any pictures of the clothes but you can check them out for yourself on their website or in the store. So cute and they have their own charity too and when you buy stuff they ask if you want to round up from like $12.85 to $13 and the few cents goes to their charity. What an awesome idea!

Enjoy!

Sunday Sales

So again this week I found that there are not a ton of sales. I am wondering if it is because all the sales for school clothes were the past couple weeks so now there isn't much but there is some good sales at Target again. Their textured tees are only $7 this week and last week they were $10 so pretty good deal there. Also they have shoes for $12 and $14 this week.

I will update more when I learn of other sales!

Enjoy!

Get the most out of your closet

.
Just an example of my organization problem:)


I learned once that people who have high anxiety like to shop because once you buy something it relieves anxiety. So I have anxiety issues so even grocery shopping is fun for me:) The other thing that helps relieve my anxiety is organization. At my house everything has a place and their is a place for everything.I may go a little overboard but it makes me feel better. I guess my organization is seeping into this blog so hopefully you are okay with it.

So this looks pretty scary because it is stuffed full but it is organized. On the right door I have an over the door shoe thing and on the left door I have a hat rack. I also have a rod for the bottom half of my closet for extra space. My closet is also color coordinated except for in the middle there where the arrow is pointing that is my shirt dresses and my new stuff so it has to be in a separate place. Once I have worn it once it goes with the other clothes. Right now I have a few fun new things I am saving for when work starts again. I didn't wear the clothes I got from the Nordstrom sale so that they can be my new "school clothes". Oh and my cardigans are on the bottom rod and shirts on top.That way I can pick a top and then a cardigan to go with it.

This is the rod. It is just from Walmart and it is really strong and it doubles my closet space which I really needed.



This is my hat rack that works perfect for scarfs. I love it because it doesn't take up space and I can see all my scarves.

I wouldn't be able to survive without my jean holder. I actually got this at Ross and I had the same one before until my kitty killed it by climbing up the side. It was only like $5 or something and they still have them after years and years:) Gotta love random Ross finds.

I love the rod because it splits up my clothes too. On one side I have my regular shirts and on the other are my shirt dress things that are longer.

This is were my gloves and tights are because I don't wear them very much so I pull them out when I need them and yes I may have a whole bin full or gloves. . .


Sock drawer
Undershirt drawer
My socks to wear with flats and oxfords

Perfect little spot

And there are my skirts. The only things not on black hangers are my skirts and dresses.
Okay so in this I have my workout clothes in the top three rows then my bras in the next and then belts in the next and some random random stuff at the bottom that I have no place for.
I hang up my cap sleeves that I use only for LAYERING not wearing by themselves. That is why they are away from my other clothes.

I also like to hang my clothes on my shoe thing. I pick a couple of things I haven't worn in a while to remind me to wear them again.

And the best part I can shut the door when I don't want to see anything!


The only thing I have problems with is organizing my sweats. They just drive me nuts because they don't fold well but who hangs up their sweats?


Fixed for now but soon they will be all messed up again.

And there it is. My closet. Love being organized and being able to see all my clothes so that I remember to wear them all:) Oh and everything has to be on black hangers.
So ladies if there is anyone out there that lives in a small house or has a small closet I hope this helps! If you ever need my help you know where to find me.

Enjoy!
