Burlesque Inspired Sabath

My outfit for church this week was burlesque inspired. I rocked a high waisted black pencil skirt that I bought from Charlotte Russe a couple years ago; A lime green Satin Blouse that I bought on the sale rack at Kohls a couple years ago; a pair of grey lace fishnets that I love, love, Love and purchased from Ross; A pair of Shiny Patent Leather Heels that I believe I bought at Chalotte Russe but can't quite remember; and a lacey, puffy rose clip for hair that I bought at Claires last year.

For make-up I did a classic eye but used royal blue eyeliner instead of black. My Braclet came from Forever 21 and my ring from the Avenue.

Thats all for now!

You Know It's the One when...

Towards the end of every winter I start to plan and imagine what my look will be for the Spring. I try to look at my current wardrobe and find pieces to add to make it feel brand new.  A couple of months ago, I was drawing a blank until I found these really, really, REALLY cute shoes at Buckle. Once I laid eyes on them, I felt inspired! I could see my entire wardrobe reworked in a whole new way when paired with these shoes. They would be all I needed! Well, almost all I needed. I would definitely need a new pair of capris. But other than that, they were the ones.

Unfortunately, they were out of my price range at the time. So, I did what I almost always do and I looked for similar shoes that were less expensive. For the last couple of weeks, I have cruised the isles of Ross, TJ Max, the internet, and yada, yada, yada and found nothing. Nothing to compare to these perfect shoes. So I started saving for them. Picking up a couple extra private lessons did the trick and now they are mine!

If only it would quit raining!!
