Ive been thinking about doing some type of fashion segment for a while now. Though Im not really a glossy flipper in search of the next trend, I do love to see whats "in" and try to find pieces for less via thrifting, discount stores or the clearance racks. So here it is. My first installment of "Budget Style".

I saw this look via Pinterest. Immediately I loved it. This is my "Inspired" version. I scoured the stores to find the chiffon skirt. Last Thursday was $1 day at a local thrift shop and I scooped up this pretty thing :)

Ok so now Im turning my new segment over to you lovely followers! I am requesting "Inspiration" outfit photos from you all and I will try to recreate them. Please dont be shy. I really want your help. Just shoot them to me in my email!

Saturdays are usually spent with family. After church we all get together and eat, lie around, laugh and watch terrible videos on youtube :) By the time all the fun is had I have no desire to take shots of what Im wearing. I just wanna go to sleep. Yesterday however, it was so beautiful out and the sunset was so perfect that I thought I would get out and enjoy it.

Enjoy whats left of the weekend :)

Happy Monday All! How was your weekend? Mine started out pretty sucky due to a trim that turned into a full blown haircut :( But other than that I had a blast! I got to see plenty of friends and family that I havent seen in awhile and also got a bit of good old fashioned rest :)

 Rio Loves to play when Im taking pics!

I promise I havent been at a nudist camp for the last two weeks. Clothing has been worn but I dont consider workout gear and pajamas "blog appropriate attire." The boy kid was out on spring break and after that I had a hard time getting back into the swing of blogging. But heres my first attempt :)

Ladies I purchased something from a retail store and for the full price!!! Ok so I only spent $10.80 but I think I did well for a "non real store shopper"! The jeans above are skinnies from Forever 21. I love that place but I can never really look around since the kiddos are usually with me and the store is not quite user friendly. But last friday I had a "mommy needs to get away moment" so I called my buddy Nina and we headed to the mall.

Ive heard many a blogger profess their love for these jeans so I figured I would give them a go. After about 47 hours in the store I finally found a pair :) I LOVE THESE PANTS!!!! I totally recommend them. The only thing I will suggest is that if you, like me, have some warped sense of what size you wear try them on and then buy them one size smaller lol. They are so stretchy that after an hour or so they will probably fall down if youre not wearing a belt :)

Happy Thursday All!!!
