A Simple Outfit

January 24, 2012 By 2 Comments


So this is what I wore on tv last week. I don’t know if it was the right choice but;). There is something about a crisp white shirt that just always makes me feel pulled together. So I paired a white shirt from Lane Bryant with a denim jacket (that is my go to) that I got on clearance about 18 months ago from Fashion Bug. I think it looks pretty cute with my awesome Lee jeans that I got at BlogHer! I actually wore my red heels on camera but ran my errands in my CLaundry black flats. I added a multi-string necklace to give it a touch of edge. Pretty easy to wear.

Smart Shopping

January 19, 2012 By 1 Comment

If you are here today from Central Valley Today welcome!

Let us take a moment to look smart buying strategies.
1)Take life into account by looking at was important for people to do before the holiday. Which means that it is probably a great deal now. Use that to help you find the deals!
2)List making! It isn’t saving money if you buy a bunch of things you don’t actually need!
3)Coupon Sites are great! There are so many though and if that overwhelms you just let me know what you are looking for and I will try to find it. To kick off your coupon hunt here are a couple great ones:
Use Code SMS9999 to Take 20% Off Your Order at Kohls.com! Valid Through 1/21/12. and Take 20% Off Liz Lange Apparel When You Use Code TGTRHWW4 at Target.com. Valid for a Limited Time Only.
4)Shopping Portals are another great tool for shopping online. The actually give you a percentage of your bill back in cash! And this is in addition to any great coupons you use! I love Ebates (which I have belonged to since 2000) and ShopAtHome.com. Just make sure that you place orders using the same email that you sign up with. They don’t have any other personal order info!

Great time to buy:
1)Gift Cards: unwanted holiday gifts, venues like Plastic Jungle (where you can get 1% back using either shopping portal)
2) Holiday Materials
3) Wedding Materials: People usually get married in the spring and summer so now is a great deal on venues and supplies.
4) Carpet: according to CarpetSuperSite the slow season is until tax rebates start so the deals end about Feb. 15th.
5) Linens and Bedding: there will be white sales galore but beyond that color choices will influence deals.
6) Home Theater Equipment (tv’s, speakers, etc): Between Super Bowl promo’, CES and March being the end of the Japanese fiscal year. Now through April you can get great deals.
7) Air Conditioners: Off season and you might get a great deal on the installation too if the person you ask is slow!
8) Calendars: This is the perfect time to get organized! Great deals at stores as well as sites! MomAgenda is 35-50% off right now!

WIWW What do you think?

January 17, 2012 By 6 Comments


So I am often unsure of my outfits, with trying trends and prints but not sure if it is just too much. This is an outfit I wore out to run errands. This shirt (from the Avenue) is one of the things I am never sure about. The hubby thinks it is a little much but I always get compliments. So I am very torn. What do you think?

The pants are also from The Avenue and a simple tank.  I have some great black flats that I found from Ross that are CLaundry brand.

Then onto the jewelry! I picked up this set from Fashion Bug as a $6 Black Friday deal. I hadn’t gotten Christmas jewelry in years and decided that I needed a more mature look;).

This flower headwrap is another fashion quandary. I think it is cute but…. it feels a little large. And is it too juvenile?

Ugh! I wish I felt more confident about these things!

Now I still have to figure out what I am wearing on tv this week. Next week you will see what I chose;).

What I Wore Wednesday!

January 3, 2012 By 2 Comments


So I decided to start participating in What I Wore Wednesday! I figure that it will help keep me out of sweats. I like clothes but sometimes it is hard to justify wearing something cute to hang out around the house.

This week I am starting with an outfit I wore to church on Sunday. The shirt is from the Avenue and I got it for a steal. I think it was $10? The pants are by Caribbean Joe. The shoes are one of my favorite things and are by Strictly Comfort.

I realized that you can’t see my super cute blingy snowman earrings but next time I will take better pics!
