BoHo Cuteness!

So as you know, I have fabulous brown boots. Comfy boots - not "clubby" boots... not that there are clubs here in Corning! If you have yet to see these, you need to scroll down or just click on "boots" to the right.  They are perfect and I plan on walking 5000 miles in them.  Anywho, I have been looking for a cute short skirt to wear them with, paired with tights. BINGO... Old Navy had the perfect one, which just happened to be on sale for $7.99. So for that price, I bought one in ink blue AND olive green. Two skirts for $16.00, that's a bargain! Why didn't I buy another color?? The skirt is corduroy too so it's practically perfect for the fall.  If you like this, I would go yesterday and buy it because it's in the sale section and you know how that goes... or just click the link below and shop from your living room!  Enjoy!

Fashion Jackpot!

Something compelled me to go shopping today. After I taught three classes and had a fabulous workout at the gym, my car automatically took me to TJ Maxx rather than home. Now, if you don't live in Corning, you have no idea the lack of stores we have to choose from. TJ Maxx, Gap, Old Navy, Target, that's it. Seriously. You think that I'm forgetting Marshalls, J. Crew, Nordstrom’s, Forever 21, and BCBG? Well, I'm not, that's it folks.   But sometimes, if you're in the mood, you can hit the fashion jackpot at TJ's and that's what happened today...

I found the ever sought after menswear jacket. This jacket will be very versatile. It will be super cute to wear over a wife-beater, great jeans and heels or boots. It can also be worn over a collared shirt. The second option seems a little too "officey" for me, but to each your own. The key with the jacket though, is that it will be better with some slimmer on the bottom half since it's kind of loose.

The best part of this $24.99 jacket?? It's lined!!

The one that I found today is made by Tulle (which has great sales online right now).  I couldn't find the exact one online, but this is really close to it.  Mine has full length sleeves, which can be rolled. 

Not sure if theone below has the option of being full length.

Can't afford both knee and the trendy ankle boots?

Yes you can!

The ankle boot is perfect with cute skirt or  rolled up boy jeans.  Where the knee high can be worn the same way, plus over skinny jeans.  Wouldn't it be nice to have both but for one price, two boots in one?

This boot is also offered in a "slouchy" boot version.

Thanks Victoria Secret!

What I'm Wearing right now...

I am loving vests!  I love to pair them over a simple tee with jeans and heels.  They are simple and super easy to dress up by adding great jewelry, a hat or a scarf.

These are two that I'm loving now:

New Season, New Wardrobe, New You...

...and by new wardrobe, I don't mean go out and buy all new clothes - that wouldn't be Bargainista of me! I mean it's time to start cleaning, folding and packing away summer and bringing out your fall clothes. This is also the perfect time to donate your clothes that you never touched this summer. Any local Salvation Army or church donation would love your gently used clothes. I on the other hand, tend to pass them off to my friends instead...ask my friend Ellen, she just scored from me doing this!

So once your summer clothes are sadly packed away, you can focus on taking inventory on what you have for fall clothes... and think about what basic pieces you may need to purchase. This project may take a few days for you to do, but it will be well worth it if you start the season with an organized closet!

In the mean time, you can be purchasing fall/winter shoes!! These are two pairs of boots that I am LOVING right now!

I just bought these from Title Nine, which is a great website/magazine for women. I fall in love everytime their catalog arrives at my house. It's a bit pricey, but if you're only buying pieces, it is manageable. I instantly feel in love with these boots in the magazine picture and had to have them! They will be super cute with skirts, thick tights, or over skinny jeans.

$160.00

These are next on my list to buy, as in next week's paycheck!!  Since I already have the above boot in brown, I am going to buy these is this red color called "orla".  With the black soles, these tend to go more with "black" outfits, but can be worn with lots of other colors, I just wouldn't pair them with brown.
