New Things

Oh Friday. How I love you so. 

This week has been crazy, so thank you guys for hanging in there and being patient with me! 

I've got some pretty cool things to show you soon, like the plane-shaped cookie I made last night. It's pretty fantastic, you'll see. 

But for today we'll stick with a good old outfit post. :) 

Top: thrifted, DIY ($0.27)

Cardigan: Merona, thrifted ($3.50)

Pants: Rugged Wearhouse ($17)

Shoes: Target, $6

I got these fantastic polka dot pants last weekend. They were actually a bit of a splurge, at $17. Of course, I use the term "splurge" in a relative perspective, compared to my typical budget, not the typical retail price for jeans. But I think they were worth the price. :)

Did I mention they're reversible? They're reversible. Which is a little bit weird, but also pretty cool. The other side is just plain dark wash navy. I told myself I was technically buying two pairs of pants for $17.

The shoes are also new! Got them on clearance at Target for a little less than $6. I love the color, and they're suede. Classy. 

Findings from the Weekend

I've been MIA for days, sorry about that! End of semester craze is starting to set in. 

Hope you all had a great break, anyone get good deals this weekend? I bought a few things on Friday, but they weren't actually part of the Black Friday sale, I just happened to run across them in the clearance racks. 

Target, $7

Old Navy, $9.99

Target, $24.98

Be back soon with more!

Black Friday!

In the spirit of Black Friday, I figured I'd post the discounts for some of my favorite stores:

• Modcloth is having a 'Tis the Season Sale, with 50% off newly stocked items. They're pretty darn cute. I waste way too much time browsing their website.
• Shabby Apple has a 20% off sitewide sale, just use the code JOYFULSEASON.
• J. Crew has 25% off sitewide and in stores. 
• Extra 25% off all sale items from Anthropologie. Again, so much time about to be wasted on my part. 
• Madewell also has 25% off with a code, TREAT. I sense a pattern here. They're also offering free shipping. 
• Gap has 60% off the entire stock, and 20% off your purchase.
• Nordstrom has a pretty good sale section going on! 
• Target, Macy's, and Old Navy may be worth checking out as well.

 Someone also share this interesting infographic with me, so I thought I'd toss that in as well. :) Have a great Friday, hope you find some great deals if you're hitting the stores today!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all get the chance to relax with family and friends. I'm about to get to work on cooking up the inevitable food coma, so I thought I'd go ahead and do an outfit post before that. :) 

 

Top: Old Navy, thrifted ($3.50)

Pants: TJ Maxx ($9)

Sweater: JC Penney ($6)

Boots: Ross ($17)

Scarf: from Italy ($5)

The scarf is actually a rectangular wrap-styled one, I just tied the ends together to make it like an oversized infinity scarf. I think it works pretty well!

Enjoy your turkey and stay warm!

Painting Adventures, Part 2

Going off of my last post, I also painted this set of drawers for the same project. I'd seen projects like this on Pinterest before and loved the idea, so I was super excited when I had the chance to try it out myself!

So originally they were plain white...

And this is what the end result looked like: 

This took less than an hour and less than $10 in paint. It's also rather fun, if you like painting and whatnot, so be warned--you might feel the urge to run around the house and just paint everything in sight once you get started. :)
