Looking gorgeous... on a budget!!

Unless you are a celebrity or have a very rich Daddy, you are going to have to learn to be a fashionista on a budget. Hey, it's more fun that way anyway!!

Today's Fashion Quote About Itching...

I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.

*Check Your Toes 

Is it time for a pedicure? What about the bottom of your feet hard and cracked or soft as the skin of a baby? Regardless of their present condition, spend a little time today pampering them.

Those gorgeous new sandals aren't going to make you look drop dead gorgeous if your feet haven't been taken care of in months! A little pampering is all it takes and it feels sooooo good! ;)

The Latest Fashions... My Trick

One of the quickest ways to put together an outfit is to watch store windows. They will put entire outfits together starting with the perfect shoes and working its way up. All you have to do is take notes. What color schemes are they using?? I always carry a notepad in my handbag for that reason!

Learning to Accessorize

The best place to pick up pointers is by checking out the shop windows. I have often spotted combinations that I would never have considered on my own!

Buttons for your Crocs 

Kids are collecting these cute little buttons as fast as they can find them, so today I thought that I would pick this cute little bumble bee... I have bumble bees on the brain this morning. Did you spot the other lens that features a bumble bee?

*Check the Children's Department 

Having a hard time finding sunglasses to fit? My 20 something year old daughter has found some very slylish pairs much to her surprise.

You Have to Have One of These 

Gave my old one to my daughter and this one I received for my birthday... probably because I gave my old one to my daughter. ;) And it seems that to be a fashionista... you have to have one of these in your pocket and the earphones clearly plugged into your ears. I think that's the rule if what I'm seeing in the mall is any indication.

What's Your Budget 

I went looking for some summer shorts and these caught my eye. I love the color and the fact that they would look pretty amazing with a simple little white t-shirt. But the price is $95.00. Would you pay that much even if your love the style?

Keeping That White T-Shirt White 

If you have been working out in a white t-shirt, you might want to know that it is really important to get that tee into the laundry within the first 48 hours of your workout. If you don't chances are, the perspiration will ruin the t-shirt permanently.

So, invest in a couple so that you always have one clean when you head to the gym!

*Buy in Bulk  

It never fails, I need a pair of stockings and I can't find a pair that doesn't have a run or a snag. Now I buy pantyhose in bulk and then stash them away in a drawer. I always have a fresh pair if I need them. Just one last thing to think about. And with my schedule, I can use all the help I can get!
