operation: color me stylish - day 6

It's day six! Still doing pretty good (...minus those few days without photos. tee hee.)! I've been enjoying some of the outfits I have chosen. My makeup however, is still lacking a bit. My skin has been going a little haywire, so I have been trying to lay off the stuff. Nothing but mascara and lip balm...


Okay. Enough rambling, looky here:

These pictures are completely cheesy.

I was taking them myself, so that's why the angles are a little weird and all the extra in the background (sorry about that!). Still, not bad for an amateur.

Top: Target $4
Jeans: Old Navy $8. One of my favorite pairs. Dark denim is the best!
Blazer: BCF. I can't remember the price, but they always have good deals there...
Scarf: Target $3
Shoes: Target $9. I haven't worn these out yet. I'm still waiting for Spring. [sigh]
Earrings: Your everyday basic silver hoops. I got them in one of those three packs.
Ring: Kohls $3. A pretty silver and turquoise combo.
[side note: I liked how my hair turned out. I was just going with something, and for short hair, I like that it looks like I have a cute bun on the top of my head.]

It was a great day, today. Nothing in particular happened, I think I just woke up on the right side of the bed for once. Had to rise a little early, though, so I'm off to bed for some of that good ol' beauty sleep! Goodnight, loves.

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday. ;)

"...so i'm a dressaholic."

I have to admit that dresses are my thing. There is one for any mood, in almost any shade of the rainbow, for any occasion, that will conceal flaws and flaunt perfections. What's not to love??? Finding a great deal on one tends to make my week! Marshalls and TJ Maxx usually have a whole bunch to choose from. As far as my 'go-to' outfit of choice, it will almost always be a dress! Nothing makes me feel more sexy, girly and stylish. I'm in a love affair with a few of them now. Take a look...

...sexy.

...girly.

...& stylish.

...enough said. ♥

(btw, anyone notice the ruffly, recurring theme?)

the cheap stuff.

Since my blog is about staying stylish for half the price (or on a good day, even less than that!), I figured I would share the stuff I found at Target the other day. There they were, just calling my name... I promise I can smell a deal from a mile away! Anyways, here's a couple of pics of the stuff I got...

Cute right?! And all the red stickers mean they were all on sale! The three pack of earrings in the first shot (top right) was only $1.74 and all the stuff in the second picture was $1.00 each! My favorite is the cute rose necklace on the right. I also picked up some $.99 polish. Sometimes, they get a bad rep, but with a good base and top coat, they can last about as long as OPI...

On the left is Wet N Wild WildShine Nail Laquer in Blazed. I'm wearing this now on my toesies and it's a nice combo between girly and feisty. The one on the right is N.Y.C. Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Big Apple Red. Walgreen's was out of Red Red by Wet N Wild (which has received CosmoGirl's Kiss of Approval), so I opted for the N.Y.C. brand, which has yet to let me down. I haven't tried it yet, but I usually change up my polish after a week. With this 'summer-esqe' weather, you'll want to pull out the sandals and it's a no-no for icky feet!! Plus, you can be a little wilder with color choice cause you can always cover up with closed-toe shoes. Just wanted to share some fun finds... I wonder what's waiting for you at your local 1-stop shop??! ♥
