Queen of Hearts

c/o Persun $20

I already had a heart print shirt that I had worn the week of Valentine's day, but since I didn't like the fit anymore, I picked up this shirt instead.  International shipping usually takes long, but this shirt was worth the wait. I love the burgundy color and print. The collar is a silky fabric and not quite the exact color of the matte heart print, and I wasn't too fond of the tabbed shoulders, but my long hair hid both. I folded the sleeves once and pulled them to 3/4th length. This shirt is a large so I always have to check the measurement and use a metric conversion tool when ordering from international stores. 

Chevroning

Sweater: Target, recent

Jeans: Forever 21, $10.50

Love my new monogram necklace! I've been wanting one for so long because I am all about personalized pieces. It makes the outfit!

Falling for Animal Print

Even though I'm a summer girl,  I'm looking forward to Fall again this year so I can get more use out of my warm wardrobe. I'm hoping to post more outfits with the layered look of sweaters, skirts, tights, leggings and boots. It's not quite cold enough for a full layered outfit right now, but here are a couple of animal print inspired Fall looks.                                                 I am still addicted to animal print! 

Top: Walmart
Leggings: c/o No nonsense

Necklace: Kohls

Bracelet: BaubleBar

Leopard Boots: Fashion Bug

  Shirt: Macy's Skirt: Old Navy, old

Tights: c/o No nonsense

Boots: Fashion Bug

I love the "deep burgundy" opaque tights they sent since it is the color of the season. 

Since it's such a bold color, I wanted to highlight it with a palette of just black and white. The tights were light, but still opaque and so comfortable. 

Need to go get some more colors! 

Check out all the colors in this video from Jill Martin, 

co-author of “I Have Nothing to Wear!”

Love that No nonsense are so affordable and you can grab them just about anywhere while you are doing your other errands around town.

Lucky Lucky!

Sweater: Victoria's Secret, free with rewards card 2011

Leggings: DSW

I was soo excited last year when one of my Victoria's Secret rewards cards turned out to have $100 on it. I love when VS does this promotion when you buy $10 at their store. I usually buy gifts for my daughter's friends and for the teenagers on my Christmas list. It's a win-win for all of us. They get something they'd want and 

I get a little shopping spree of my own. 

This year I was lucky enough again to win another $100 rewards card! So I'm currently strategizing my online purchase to order some clothing. I would much rather use the money on something that everyone can see instead of bras and underwear. 

I can't even believe how lucky I've been recently with this and other giveaways. 

I'm never win anything so I guess my luck is changing! 

Loving TJ Maxx!

Shirt: Calvin Klein via TJMaxx $3

Necklace: Fashion Bug $2

Bracelet: Wet Seal $1

One of my favorite stores ever is TJ Maxx for its lovely bargain prices and cute purses. Where else can you find a cute shirt like this one at this price? 

Another outfit pic, I must have missed. 


Are you a Maxxinista?

Yay! Day 4 of Freckles in April's Winter Challenge. It's fun to plan out my outfits 

and the weather has been cooperating so more posts on my blog!

Today's challenge: mixing patterns was new to me before

 I started blogging, but now it's one of my favorites!

Done right, it's interesting and fun.

Do you have a favorite pic to share of pattern mixing?

21 Day Challenge: Layer Accessories

Dress: Esprit

Scarf: Old Navy $1

Belt: freebie with a dress

For this challenge, I got to wear this scarf for the first time and I never would have thought to pair it with the belt if I hadn't seen Kayla's inspiration post about layering accessories. I love the look and even thought up another idea for re-using the scarf for a future look.  I'm wearing fall colors again, but still happy to be reviving old stuff from my closet.
