What am I Wearing?

me

So I have meant for a while to do a Favorite Outfit/What am I Wearing? Post.  It has never happened (at least I don’t think it has!), but it has been one I wanted to do for a while.  This was my outfit a few weeks ago and is an absolute favorite.  Now, I can’t wear the white shoes since Labor Day has passed (do y’all follow that rule?) but I absolutely love this outfit!  Pardon my face as I was looking directly into the sun and so it was hard to keep my eyes open :)  The jeans & blouse are from Express (40% off on Labor Day weekend!) and the jacket is from the Neiman Marcus outlet.  I absolutely love the coral color!

I found this adorable tank top that is from Francesca’s at the mall.  It looks like it has never been worn and is absolutely adorable.  I love this find!

4th of July Outfit- jean cutoffs and star tank

So in addition to painting my nails I wanted to have a cute 4th of July outfit that was comfortable enough to be in all day.  I love what I ended up making.  It was very cheap and looks adorable.  The shorts are made from a pair of jeans I got at Goodwill for $3.50, the tank top was $3.97 at Walmart and then the fabric was .97 cents as I used a fat quarter for it.  I apologize for the horrible pictures, I was trying to take them myself and you can only get so good of picture in the mirror.

Here is the front of my outfit.  I distressed the shorts in the front and cuffed them up.  For the tank I cut some rough stars out that I sewed on in a random pattern using a zig zag stitch.

I covered the pockets with the fabric as well.  Biggest pain to get the rivet out so that I could cover the pockets but worth it :)

Here is a close up of the front of the shorts

and the stars.  As you can see I was rough with my stars and rough with the stitching, I didn’t want it to look like perfect little stars.

I loved how this outfit turned out and am so excited to wear it tomorrow!

Deal Find Fridays

Welcome to Deal Find Fridays!  One of my favorite times of the week to show you what I have been finding thrift storing it.  I love finding good deals, it is like a treasure hunt.  You can find lots of amazing clothes that are in like new condition for so much less than retail.

 

I love my button ups.  I feel like I have stepped up my wardrobe since I have been shopping at the Goodwill, haha.  This is a Lands End button up, very nice!

So I love this sweater, it is a nice lightweight sweater that has puffy-ish sleeves and is just super comfortable!  I had a picture of it on me, not the best one, haha, but here it goes.  :)
