Halloween Costume #2 Regina George

While I would never want to be a mean girl I loved this costume! Again, it was last minute and I didn't know what to be. I thought this would be easy, funny and definitely recognizable. All I did was take an old white beater and cut two holes (you can see wear) and wore a bright bra. Because I didn't have a black mini, I took a black tank dress and rolled it into a skirt. I paired it with black heels, straightened my hair and strutted out the door. Again, this costume was totally free and people loved it!

Halloween Costume #1 I love Lucy

As I said, I like to find halloween costumes within my own closet (or my friends!). I was running late on figuring out my costume this year (and by late I mean we were leaving in an hour and I had no idea what to be) and my friend suggested Lucille Ball. She wears a lot of polka dots, navy blue and bright lips. So to complete this costume I got a red skirt, made an apron out of an old white mini skirt and tucked in this navy and white polka dot top. I threw my hair up in some curls and added a bandana. Also, I made a little heart name tag and wrote "Lucy" in the "I love Lucy" font. Fun, easy, free and got lots of compliments! 

Cozy sweater

So it's getting pretty chilly up here in Wisco so I needed a warm sweater today. I loved this bright pink one I got from Gap (on sale only $10). It is probably the softest clothing item I own. I paired it with a dark purple beater and a fun scarf. I went with a lighter silk scarf because the sweater is more bulky in the front. Also, because my hair was up I paired it with simple silver earrings. 

My cheapest shirt!

Not the most detailed outfit but I wanted to share that I got this gorgeous teal shirt from a thrift store for...wait for it...$1.80!! Yes, under TWO DOLLARS! Never underestimate a thrift store, I like shopping in the women's because there are some great blouses. Always remember to be open minded. You probably won't find "trendy" pieces but you can find some nice clothing from past years. I also got a comfy flannel, another beautiful blouse, and a sweater for under 10 bucks!

One Warm Day

Up here in Wisconsin we got a day in the 70s this october and i took advantage of it! I paired a hi-lo from forever 21 with a plain tank and cardigan and minimal jewelry for a casual look. I wore it with tan boots. Perfect for the warmish windy weather!

Fun and favorite outfit!

I LOVE this outfit! I got this dress from Dry Goods (under $20)! It came with a brown belt but I wanted to play up the colors so I added a teal one. Then, I thought the top needed a little something so I added a bold teal necklace. I paired it with some crazy colorful shoes (from a previous post). I actually didn't end up wearing them out because my feet were not prepared! Haha

Sundresses in the Fall?!

This was a fun and comfy outfit that I threw together in mourning of summer and sundresses! I'm wearing a flowery sundress and belt to give it shape but I also threw on a plain jean button up so it was warm enough to wear. I was able to go bare-legged but as it gets colder I'll start putting on some tights and boots.
