Photo 1:

Belt: Lane Bryant, $21.99 (after coupon)

Shoes: Torrid, $39 (before coupon)

Photo 2:

Necklace: Avenue, $6.95 (after coupon)

Belt: F21, came attached to this top!

Booties: Avenue, about $8 (after coupon)

And here is a round-up of the week's outfits:

I had so much fun doing this challenge! It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be, because each day I knew that my outfit could only be made up of certain items. It took away a lot of the standing and staring at my closet, puzzled, wondering what I should wear.

I never thought I would be able to pull this off...I am so proud of myself and all of the other curvalicious ladies who took on this challenge! We rocked it! Now I will definitely be looking forward to future challenges! I've even got one in mind myself! ;)

Hope your weekend has been splendid!

Just FYI ;)

See you soon!

Summer Wardrobe Challenge...Day 4

Day 4! I am kind of wishing for an extra day, I've come up with more ideas!

Today I actually spent most of the day next to the pool with my hair pulled back. When I got home, the bf and I decided to head out to dinner, so I got to wear this outfit. Then, we decided to head to Target (bad Case, bad!) and do some browsing shopping! I was very glad to have worn this top today, because I got majorly sunburnt next to the pool and the light, airy, flowy feeling of this top could not have been more comfortable.

Here are photos of today's outfit. Easy-Breezy.

Capsule Items:

Top: H&M Garden Collection, $14.95

Dark Wash Skinny Jeans: Avenue, $9.95

Accessories:

Sandals: Kohl's, $24.99 (on sale)
Sunnies: Ray-Ban, prescription

Like I said, easy. nothing groundbreaking or exciting...but super comfortable!

Tomorrow is Friday! Which means I get to see my BFF and head out to a bachelorette party!

I promise tomorrow I will not have pool-hair in my photos! :)

Summer Wardrobe Challenge...Day 3 + New 'Do + Want-It Wednesday

Caution: Fully loaded post! Ah! I have to admit that so far, today's outfit is my favorite. This top is SUPER comfy and with the studding on it, I didn't really feel the need to accessorize because the detailing seemed to work on its own. Plus, the back is super sexy. Perfect for when this loose top falls off one shoulder :)

Alright, so the jeans aren't so skinny anymore after I wore them rolled up on Monday...but I am still loving this outfit. Simply because it was super easy and still looks fun.
Capsule Items:

Top: Pure Energy, Target, $9.98

Dark Wash Skinny Jeans: Avenue, $9.95

Accessories:

Shoes: Lane Bryant, $24.95 (before coupon)

I got my hair done! What do you think of my new 'do?? I think I like it, but it is very different so it is going to take some major getting used to! I posted these pictures on facebook and it seems to be getting a good response so far...yay! :)

These shoes and these shoes are on my list of items that I am currently lusting over...and they are both under $25! Me-ow!

Alright, that's enough for one post! Hope you are having a wonderful week!
I'm off to see Get Him To the Greek (after the recommendation of Iza!!)

Summer Wardrobe Challenge...Day 2 + Haircut Tomorrow!

Here we are! Day 2 already!

Hello pretties! I have been trying to post all night and my Internet connection has been super spotty. I have also not been feeling the greatest today, so please excuse the lack of makeup and my overall yucky-ness in the photos below.

I actually styled today's challenge outfit two ways, for different things I was doing throughout the day. I'm not the biggest fan of the outfit but maybe it was just because I was feeling off today.

Here is option number 1:

Capsule Items:

Top: H&M Garden Collection, $14.95

Skirt: Old Navy, $3 (thrifted)

Accessories:

Belt: Old Navy, $13.99

Shoes: Avenue, $20 (after coupon)...I love the vintage feel of these shoes!

Necklace & Earrings: made by a friend

And here is option number 2:

Accessories:

Necklace: made by a friend

Shoes: Torrid, $39 before coupon...I don't remember how much I paid for them.

Which do you like better?

In other news...I have an appointment to get my hair done tomorrow...I am for sure going to get more highlights to make my hair lighter for summer. The only thing I cannot decide on is a cut. I've have been toying with the idea of bangs for MONTHS now.

I was thinking maybe something like this:

Any other ideas? My hair is pretty thick and naturally wavy, so I don't know that it will style very well with this cut...hmm...

I guess we will see what happens tomorrow when I get to the salon!

*Frugal Tip*

I ALWAYS get my hair done at a local Paul Mitchell training school, where all of the stylists are students and are constantly supervised by professional teachers. The prices are super cheap (compared to most other salons) and I feel like I'm getting a very high-quality experience. I would definitely recommend checking out a local cosmetology school to see if they offer guest services. It will save you lots of cash for other, more important things (like shoes ;)) in the long run!

On the Eve of...Summer Capsule Wardrobe Challenge

Beginning tomorrow, I will be joining some other fabulous bloggers in taking The Small Fabric Of My Life's Summer Capsule Wardrobe Challenge. The challenge is to mix and match only 5 clothing items with unlimited shoes & accessories over the course of 5 days. In the past I have seen other bloggers do this challenge and this time I decided I'm up for it.

To give you a little glimpse of what's to come over the next 5 days, here is a quick snapshot of the 5 items I have picked:

White Studded Top, Pure Energy, $9.98
Belted Knit Tunic (without the belt), F21, $19.80
Floral Top, H&M Garden Collection, $14.95
Dark Wash Skinny Jeans, Avenue, $9.99
High-Waisted Black Skirt, Old Navy, $3 (thrifted)

Alright, so these are the 5 that I decided on. I know over the week I'll come up with a million other pieces I would have rather used but I've got to stop somewhere...haha! I know that it probably would have made this challenge a bit easier if I had picked more basics, but along with this challenge I am also trying to challenge myself to wear a few pieces I've never worn before (ahem, notice that 2 of those tops still have the price tags on them), and to go a little bit outside of my typical girly style.

I'm super excited! We'll see how this goes...:)
