Calling all Personal Shoppers!

Image
Ok Im just going to say this....I have the worst Fashion sense.  I have always loved what Teachers wear most of them looks so cute and sophisticated. I want to look like that...but how!!!! I really wish I had a personal shopper or an advisor with clothes. What goes together, and what doesnt. I feel so bad that Im a lady and I'm not that great with clothes. Pining pictures on Pinterest is different than actually being in the stores and I have to actually remember my shoes I have at home, what could go together and what would match. I mean really it's a roller coaster for me and freakishly hard for me.  

Thrifty Findings-Vera Wang

Image
I love going to the thirft store..you never know what you find, I found a really nice wooden chair I mean it looked disgusting on the outside but if you just painted it,it would look really nice. I didnt buy it though, I would not be able to do it on my own. Buuutt I did find some really really awesome dresses, one I might wear for the Marine Corps Ball in November. This is the Vera Wang dress. Its very beautiful,this is such a bad photo of it though. I love this dress but Its about 5 or 6 sizes to big for me though, so I dont know if they can refit it for me. And its navy blue, perfect to match Jaime in his Dress Blues:) The origninal tags were still on this dress the original price was 78.99..I paid 9.98:) I found another dress, but its more of a summer dress. I thought this dress was so cute! I just had to have it but Im thinking of giving it to my sister..it fits a little tightish around the black waist part. This dress was 4.95 I tend to always find something when I go t...

Weekend Recap

Friday  Megan and my parents went out to eat for some shrimp. It was yummy, It was a packed restraunt due to Lent. It was very delicious. Megan and I went back home and stopped at the dollar store just to see what was what. I ended buying her a few little things. She was being a cutie feeding her baby. I was also on etsy looking at baby boy  products,because you know, I have a really bad case of baby fever. & I found this cute onesie=) Saturday Megan and I went shopping to a couple of places. Megan is starting to be a handful for me, and I have ALLOOOTT of patience, but some people at stores dont. So I have to make sure the Megan is happy when I shop at stores. First we shopped at a Bargain store,they have lots of neat things and all of the item are new they just sell them pretty cheap. It's like a warehouse. This is $14.99 at Target, I paid $7.00 at the bargain store=) I bought Megan a 'Dora' blanket because she always talks about 'Dora' so thought s...

Dont Judge me Im only Human!

Lately I have been on etsy.com looking at Bows I can buy. Lets be honesly some of them are on the expensive side. I used to make some of Megans and some of the ones she still wears that I have made are my favorite. But since I have started school it's not easy to sit down  for 2-3 hours at a time to do these bows. So I have to actually search for the ones that  I think are reasonably priced. Cuz lets face it my husband would kill me if he knew I  spent more than $10.00 on just one bow. So today when I spoke with my husband I told him that I bought some bows for Megan and he was like "uh you mean you made them". hahaha! (oh Jaime you make me laugh!) I bought some news bows for the princess because  the ones I have are kind of old already,  so this week I will be  putting some bows in boxes  just in case I have another girl down the road. These are the bows I got for her=) I even got a certain percentage off! SCORE! A couple of days ago I ...

Bargain shopper

Image
I have probably mentioned this before but I am a huge bargain shopper,  I CANNOT buy things that are regular price, of course  if there are thing that I absolutely need then of course  I have to buy the retail price but lets say clothes or little knick nacks(sp?) yeah I have to always go with the stuff on clearance. Today for example I had to get out of my house,because I have been cooped up here because of my surgery but I needed some shopping time. So My sister and I went to Khols to just see what was what, so of course the first thing I do, Is head to the toddler section. Uh hello 50%,60%,70% OFF!! I mean I bought alot of clothes for her, and I never paid for the retail price! I love shopping in the clearance section! & last night...... Mandy from My Life in the Making  posted about a photo book company that she really liked awhile back, I finally decided to  put all my pictures together and I made my first book!! It took 3 hours to process, but when ...

Five question Friday

Image
It's Friday:)! I have alot of Homework this weekend, boo to that! Today Megan and I are going to stay in and watch movies, Jaime has drill this weekend so hopefully I can go shopping without someone in my ear asking how much everything cost lol.  I dont really have anything planned for this weekend except for doing some Homework and maybe getting Megan her first doll house  but other than that it's going to be a boring weekend without the hubs. 1. Do you feel guilty spending money on yourself? I used to feel really quilty spending money on myself b/c I want Megan to have the best clothes but now that Im able to balance Megans clothes and Mine I dont feel so bad getting clothes for Me and not for her b/c Im always buying her clothes. Right now she has alot of clothes that I bought her all summer long for fall, so she is for sure set for all of the fall:) 2. How well do you know your neighbors? I honestly dont know too much about the neighbors, I think some pe...
