Ahhhh Fashion my first love.......

If you look inside my happy place you'll see endless rows of clothes, shoes and purses. So even though my child care is costing me well over $1000 a month I refuse to look a mess! HA a challenge. So I started my journey to see how I can get expensive fashions for cheap.

Great Dooney bag 4.50 at Goodwill it wasn't my style so I sold online.
 Can you believe I found 2pair of these at Once Upon a Child? They were to big but I knew they'd fit them eventually. 7.50 each 

To be continued.....

My spring "blues".

If you are fimilar with California life you know all to well that April (by the way that's my beasties name!! Hey girl lol) is a curious time of the year. One day it will be 57 and rainy and  the next 81. So you can't quite put away the cold gear. I have sent my kids to school only to get to work and it start to rain! I know we have all been there, we spend the day thinking I suck, maybe I can get a friend to take them pants lol.

Well most of April will be like this so I figured this may be my last chance to wear those great Ellen Tracey boots that I got marked down like 4times! They went from like $150 to just 45 ! That's nothing for good leather. I would have spent 3times that! (I'm tough on shoes so I have to get good quality. I know I killed my moms wallet when I was little) Well here they are.

I have been looking for brown boots forever, because I have fat calves. Cute huh. I also broke down and went to Old Navy for the first time in years and actually found some skinnys that fit all my "junk in my trunk".

I paired it with a western shirt I thrifted for $2 and a True republic t my hubby gifted me . (I'm sure he paid to much, he has no patience for looking for a deal!) I had to include a picture of my cute umbrella I got free with purchase from Vickie's.
