A whole lotta neutral...

I love being home. Not only is there an abundance of great places to shop, but the weather has been fabulous. (The seeing family & friends goes without saying.) For a few days it was in the 80s...in December. I was super excited since it was the perfect weather to wear this new tank I'd picked up from Goody's on clearance. It also went perfectly with the new necklace a friend sent me that I'd been wanting to wear. :) I feel like khaki + animal print is always a winning combination. I seriously don't think you can go wrong with it! 

  

Hi-Lo

     

Dress- Goody's/ Shoes- Target/ Jewelry-gifted

I ventured into a Goody's the other day for the first time in about a decade. There hasn't been one where I've lived in years. It was much smaller then I remembered, but had a great sale section. This dress was only $8.99! I'm not a huge hi-lo fan, but it was just so cute I couldn't pass it up. It was perfect for a day of family photos & coffee dates. :) 

Casual

Jeans-thrift/ Shirt- Thrift/ Sunnies, Shoes & Sweater- Target/Paracord bracelet- gift

      I love classic red lipstick. It's fun, unexpected & dresses up a look. I picked up this red from Walgreens on a whim & am thrilled I did! And who doesn't love a close up?! ;) I was hanging out at my mom's store, so I needed to look somewhat put together. I think gold & red always look fabulous together & love the gold details on the white (thrifted) shirt. I'm pretty sure if an outfit doesn't have some form of animal print, I'm not done getting ready. It's my obsession these days. :) 

New hair

Dress-thrifted Michael Kors/ Necklace & Earrings- Old Navy/ Tights- Target/Bag- gifted Kate Spade 

After what seems like forever, I finally got a good haircut! I had to say goodbye to a little over 4 inches of hair, but it was so worth it. Unless a quality hairstylist is going you a steep discount, I feel like a great cut isn't a place to skimp. Of course it helps if you also communicate well with your stylist. The man who cut my hair has always given me the best haircuts & he not only did my wedding hair in 2009, but my aunt's wedding style in the 90s. He's so fabulous. The dress is thrifted Michael Kors. :) 

New Kate Spade! :D

Bag-Kate Spade (gift)/Shoes, Blouse, Sunnies-Target/Leggings-Walmart

This whole outfit was planned around the fabulous crossbody Kate Spade I got as a Christmas gift. I'm kind of, sort of, totally in love with it. Excuse the crazy hair, but I'm finally getting a haircut tomorrow! It's been years, literally, since I had a good cut. All my blog photos will be in different areas since I'm in the best place ever...home in GA! Looking forward to what thrift, consignment & sale goodies I can find while home. :)

I've had this Lilly dress since this summer and have only worn it once. Sad, right? It's been sitting in my closet waiting for some winter inspiration to hit. It finally did! The addition of tights + denim jacket made it much more appropriate for the 40 degree weather we've been having lately. I remember saying in a post a few months back how I just wanted it to be cold... I was wrong. It can be warm again! I pretty much based my whole outfit around these plum tights and am so giddy because I didn't ruin them by tearing them on something. Major accomplishment for my super klutzy self.

Lilly Love on a Budget

I think I may have said this before, but if not...I love Lilly Pulitzer. I just don't have a full price Lilly budget. This adorable pink Lilly top is from thredUP, the London Fog trench via the Salvation Army. Who doesn't love finding quality clothes for a steal? The top was free, thanks to trade in credits & I'm fairly certain the coat was only around $7. The most exciting part was that this whole outfit, sunglasses & bag included, totals out for not quite $100. Now I just need a fabulous brunch to wear this to... :)

Selfie Central

I love this jacket. It's comfy, but just as warm as my favorite hoodie and looks a lot better. It's Banana Republic via a thrift store. :) The jeans I'm crazy about too! What a surprise, they're from Target. I could live at that place. If I ever go missing, my hubby knows where to find me. Anyway, I finally found the cut that works for me-short & curvy. It was a major happy dance moment...and, of course, the animal print flats go with everything.

And this whole outfit is brought to you by Target...

I'll admit it. I have a Target addiction. It's inevitable though. Seriously, I live so close to one, how could I not?! It's an addiction I don't plan on overcoming anytime soon either. The sweater was an impulse buy, but it was a Black Friday impulse, so 40% off made it totally acceptable. ;) The sunnies are the only piece of this outfit that weren't on sale/clearance/purchased with a percentage off, thanks to Cartwheel. (Seriously. best app ever.) Sadly, I didn't actually hit up any place amazing for Black Friday. The kiddos needed some new clothes, so they were the first priority. The Children's Place has such adorable clothing & they always have coupons & sales going on. But I did pick up this sweater, a necklace, and 2 tops from (shocking) Target & from thredUP  (great online consignment shop) a Banana Republic dress, J.Crew top & Lilly Pulitzer dress. The best part about the thredUP purchases were I used credit from clothes I'd sent in, so I only paid $6 for everything!
