 After fighting with my closet, aka trying everything on and throwing it on the bed and/or floor because nothing looked good, I somehow came up with this outfit and I was finally pleased.  My sister came to stay with me at my apartment for a couple nights this week, so we decided to go take some outfit pictures... on side the road... where we got honked at. haha. It was a lot of fun having her with me for a few days. We did some sisterly bonding while shopping with our Christmas money, and she even got to come to work with me. I hope we get to go take outfit pictures again together soon because these look so much better than me standing in front of my white closet doors...

 

I will be in Disney World with my fiance for the next couple of days so I will be back next year!

Two years ago, I would have never thought I'd ever see her in a dress, wedges, and a bun on top her head! I love it. What do yall think of her outfit?

My mom and I go to leave the other day to go see some wedding reception venues, and she says "Hehe! You look like a purple people eater!" ...Thanks mom. Thanks. I guess if I was wearing blue tights I'd look like an avatar? She told me later on in the day that I really did look cute. Coming from her, that means a lot, because sometimes her and Alyssa (my sister) think my outfits are ridiculous and they hate when I don't match perfectly. Not that I really care. I wear what I think looks good, and I dress up for myself, not to impress anyone else. :)

Who do you dress to impress for? Yourself? 

The $20 Rule

So let me tell you about the $20 rule.  It all started back in high school when my friends and I would go shopping at the mall.  If something was $20.00 or more, we had to think about it reallllly hard to make sure that we really needed it.  Like you have to have a few outfits together in your head before you can buy this article of clothing.  You had to ask yourself multiple times, "is it really worth a whole $20 bill?"  I still do this. $20.00 is a LOT of money to me!  Especially now that I've caught the thrift bug and can't see paying more than $4.99 for something!  I've actually kind of turned my $20 rule into a $10 rule... anything over ten and I'm doing some serious thinking about it!

Chambray Shirt: Forever 21 $20.00

Black T: Old

White Jeans: Goodwill $4.99

Charlotte Russe Flats: Goodwill $2.99

Hat: Maurice's $12.00

Total Outfit Cost: $39.98

So, this chambray shirt applied to my $20 rule, and this is how I justified it to myself... I have two chambray shirts that I've gotten at the Goodwill, and neither of them are exactly what I've been wanting.  One of them (shown here) has silver studds on the collar, so I feel like I can't wear gold jewelry with it.  The other one (shown here) has elastic around the waist, so it has to be wore with a belt.  Neither are that perfect chambray shirt that I can see so many outfits with.. that's why I caved in and finally bought the perfect one!
