I'm an excitable person. If I'm really thrilled about something, I may bounce & squeal...which is what I did when I found these jeans. Calvin Klein skinny jeans for $3.50! There wasn't anything wrong with them, other then the small rip pictured below. It took me maybe a minute, and they were fixed and perfect. :) 

After I fixed them, I couldn't wait to wear them! What's the point of having fabulous new jeans if they're just going to sit, right? I found this top for $10 on the clearance rack at TJ Maxx. It's actually a bathing suit cover-up, but I thought it was just a perfect top in general. This whole outfit, necklace & earrings included, cost less then $40. My kind of outfit!

Is there such a thing as too much leopard? 'Cuz I totally don't think so. 

Brunch Wear

I love brunch. If I could eat it everyday, life would be fabulous. This was what I threw on for a brunch date with the hubby while my oldest was in school. I didn't want to wear a whole lot of color, so I compromised. Black + animal print + statement scarf. I think it's a combination that always works...and those are my favorite flats, so I wear them with just about everything. The black sweater is another favorite, an oldie (spring 2010) from Express. But Kiki La'Rue has something almost identical right now. Sadly, this outfit didn't even last the day. It just got too warm! Am I the only one who just wishes the weather would stay cool? I'm ready for scarf & boot weather 24/7 y'alll. 

Sweater Vest Part 2

Who doesn't love selfies in their bedroom mirror? They're just the best photos ever. ;) I love how different the sweater (vest? I still don't know what to call it. Sweater vest sounds so...80s) looks with the cream top & nude flats. The ring was a fun little impulse purchase from Beverly's. The jeans & sweater are thrift finds, everything else from chain stores.

Peplum + Skinny Jeans

I'm officially a peplum convert. This lovely top came from TJ Maxx for only $10! Best part, it's a Laundry by Shelli Segal top that normally goes for over $100. I totally did a happy dance when I was checking out the tag. If you haven't checked out TJ Maxx, seriously...go, now. They have some pretty fabulous items there. I'm a huge Lilly Pulitzer fanatic and have found a ton of home, kitchen & phone accessories as well. Now if only I could find Kate Spade clothing in my size...
