The Basics

  | Blazer – F21 | Dress – HM | Purse – Target  | Belt – Loft | Pumps – BCBG  | | Bracelets – HM | Wearing a basic blazer and dress to work isn’t always so bad.  I honestly get tired of trying to reinvent my clothes on a daily basis.  I have created (in my mind) this exceptional standard when it comes to my appearance and sometimes I’m not here for it.  This outfit is something I pulled out my closet right before work and I think it came together nicely. Of course adding little details to an outfit is what keeps basic from being boring.  For instance instead of just wearing my hair pulled back I did a quick side twist.  I kept my earrings simple so they wouldn’t over power my hair.  My blazer is nothing exceptional but the puff sleeves are a cute detail. …

They are a handful but I wouldn’t trade them for anything. My actually birthday was last Monday 9/22 and since my family was in town the weekend before I didn’t get a chance to celebrate with my blogging girls. I enjoyed a wonderful birthday brunch with them this weekend; it’s always a great time when we get together.  One of the best things about blogging is meeting new people…

Goodwill Haul

I had no clue how awesome thrifting was until I started blogging.  Thanks to several fab thrifty bloggers: Lexy, Kerissa, Leslie and Patrice I was hooked before I even stepped foot into a thrift store.  Thrifting requires time and patience, which over the past few years I was short on for several reasons.  However, when I did make time I found several amazing pieces: The allure of finding fabulous clothing well below retail price always keeps me coming back to the Goodwill.  This weekend I went back to my thrifting roots not looking for anything specific but I hit the jackpot. My number one find at the Goodwill is always blazers.  The majority of my blazer collection has come from the Goodwill, mostly from the designer section.  This black blazer I purchased is no exception.  Tahari blazers can retail well over $100 dollars, I was happy to pay $15.…
