About Me

I'm a southern girl through & through,
I dress to impress & to my own style I stay true!
I have charm, wit, & character too,
but ballin' on a budget is hard to do!

Set the Table!

Finally have my dining room complete with my new rug from Urban Outfitters!  After only living here for a year, I was able to accomplish the separation from my living room and give it a finished look. You can get this same rug for as cheap as $45 by clicking here!! Top your spring cleaning off with a fresh look!

It's Finally Spring!!!

I'm ready for some warmer weather and sunshine! I brought out my springy scarf today to add with my black and white basic outfit. It helped to add plenty of color and make my day a bit more colorful!! Any pastel or neon or floral scarf will help to change the look of your most basic outfits! This particular infinity scarf was a gift from a friend who bought it in Germany. I found a cheap, similar floral scarf at H&M for only $10, click here! 

I'm gonna take your Grandma's style!

I'm a fan of just about anything gold, but I was so in love with this gold rope when my mother gave it to me at Christmas. It's my grandmother's, so it's what all you kids would consider "vintage". Due to gold making such a huge comeback in past several years there are similar styled necklaces being produced. In fact, I found this one at Jeweliq for only $25!! My paisley shirt is lightweight and very comfortable,  with 3/4 lengths sleeves it can be worn in warmer weather like SPRING and easily fits under sweater as I'm wearing here. I got this at bluetiquecheapchic.com and they have a ton of similar shirts for spring at great, affordable prices!!

Na Na Na Na BATMAN!!

Sorry, I've been a little behind on my posts. This is from last weekend-- a casual Saturday with my family. Perfect weather to showcase my new sweatshirt from Windsor. Paired it off with my destroyed skinny jeans from American Eagle and my 10 yr old pair of converse! (but hey they never go out of style) You can find this same sweatshirt at Windsor for only $25 by clicking here!!

Elephant Chief

Loving my new relaxed long sleeve shirt from Windsor!! Got in the mail just a couple of days ago, along with some other great items I can't wait to showcase! This shirt feels amazing and lightweight. Easy for layering -- as I did wear it under a long sweater cardigan -- or to wear with shorts when it finally gets warm outside again! At only $20 it's a great buy! Click here to see it on their website!

Animal Print & Hunter Green

I'm just not ready to give up my fall favorites, maybe because it's still cold and expecting lower temperatures next week in this place I call home!

I don't believe that I will ever get tired of animal prints. I've been wearing it for years and years, in and out of style.
I wear animal prints more as a neutral and pieces that will standout or bring my look together. One of my favorite pieces is the scarf I'm wearing in this picture, just picked up on the streets of NYC, and I love it paired with the greens, blacks, and golds!

My sweater is Michael Kors and extremely comfortable. Can be paired with leggings (as I'm wearing here), leather pants, jeans, or a great go-to for a lightweight cardigan. This was a TJ Maxx find, on sale for only $20!! A perfect deal and steal for my closet :)

Lady in Red

Lady in Red-- I wore this outfit for my Valentine's date, and yes I know I'm a bit behind the crowd but any day is a good day to wear red! I think red looks good on just about everyone, unless of course you have a contrasting red hair color...then you may want to pump the brakes! For me, I have a hard time wearing certain shades of yellow because it's like whoa! Pineapple coming thru!

Anywho, the top I'm wearing is from Arden B. and a very flattering fit and style. The loose blouse let's me wear my leather leggings without showing too much, but the lace at the top makes it more sexy and shows off just enough skin! This store is great place to purchase tops and at a very affordable price! They always have great sales in store and online for 50%, usually on already marked down items. I think I paid only $17 for this one! Check them out at www.ardenb.com! They have a maroon, chiffon surplus bodysuit on sale right now for only $22 online that could give you this same look for less!! Also a good place to pick up costume jewlery!

My leather leggings are from Windsor! One of my favorite places to buy my clothes from basics to just great finds! Waiting on a shipment as you read ;) The leggings are only $19.90 and look great on. They don't appear cheap in person like some leggings and are very durable! A must have for your closet!!

Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for reading!!
