Late Sunday Sales

Sorry rough week with getting back into work and school. Anyways there isn't much this week but Target has some new cute T-shirts. They are called Raglan Tees and they look like baseball tees. Really cute and only $10.
There is a bad picture but they are cute right?

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!

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!

Sunday Sales

Here is some stuff I know about for this week!


Old Navy is doing 30% off everything in the store. If you are shopping online the coupon code is EVERYONE. Also they got some new stuff in recently so check it out. I think I am going to order a new pencil skirt:) They are my favorite because they are stretchy, thick (no cottage cheese or dents!), and long but not to long that they look funny. They also come in petite and tall if you need it. This sale ends July 23 so order or go in soon!

Bella Ella has a coupon in the newspaper if you get the Sunday paper. There is a little magazine type thing called Savvy Shopper Deals and in it Bella Ella has three coupons in there that can also be used at Bell Ella Curvy. I always save those and usually end out using one each month (that is about how often the magazine is in the Sunday paper) because they have 25% off shirts, 50% scarfs, and 40% off color skinnies and other things like that and they expire about a month after the magazine comes out.

Target has all their women's dresses on sale. They also have cardigans for $15. This is a great deal because its the nicer brand in the women's section! Usually their sales last through out the week but they run out of stuff so the sooner you shop the better. Also if you have kids there are tons of good deals on kids clothes because of back to school shopping.

Good luck and if you know if any other sales out there let me know!

Enjoy!


I had to add because I learned of another sale at Old Navy. It is the same as before 30% off but this one goes until July 29th so check it out. I just got my new pencil skirt in the mail yesterday and it is so cute. I will post picture soon!

Also I checked out Target's sale online and they have great deals on maxi dresses with all the price cuts! 

Don't forget it is also the Nordstrom sale! My favorite place ever if I wasn't so poor! Remember though that Nordstrom is a good place to get your staple items because they have an amazing return policy! Just don't abuse it because that makes me so mad. Be honest:)

Sunday Sales

I decided to post about sales I know of for the week each Sunday (hopefully) because I go through the newspaper and I get e-mails from different places about what's on sale. Here's what I know about for this week!


The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here! Right now you can only shop if you have a Nordstrom card but the sale starts July 19th! I have a card so I used some birthday money and got some cute stuff. 

Old Navy has some cute skirts that are marked down right now and you can also use the code ONSAVE20. This will expire July 17th.

Target has their awesome t-shirts are on sale this week. Plane ones are $6. Usually their sales go throughout the week.

Don't forget Ross is always great for good deals on shoes!

Stripes N' Stuff

If you haven't noticed stripes are kind of in right now. I always say that I feel like everything in my closet is stripes but it isn't true. Half my closet is stripes and the other half is stuff to go with stripes. Stripes are okay by themselves but combined with something else is even better. Easton even wears stripes with other patterns! Here is some examples:





Shirt for Old Navy, pants from Target

Cardigan from Bella Ella Curvy, shirt from Bohne, and skirt from Old Navy

Snapped this pic when my sister wasn't looking  (she will probably be mad) because I had to show you the polka dot jeans with the striped shirt. Jeans and Shirt from H&M
If you are nervous about doing it or are unsure what to put together I would be happy to help.

Enjoy!
