A Waterfall Cardigan In Lilac, Dark Navy, and Melon

A favorite style cardigan of mine worn with another new pair of pants.  I love the cardigan as a third completer piece to cover up some of the bits you don't want to bring attention to.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. :)

Colorful Silk Artist's Smock

 This is not actually an artist's smock, but it reminds me of one.  I liked the longer tunic look with these new skinny jeans.  I thought the dark cornflower blue color of the pants was pretty.  I have new green ones this top will work with also.

 For the last couple of years I've used Nivea Sun Kissed self tanning lotion during the spring/summer and have found it's my favorite of all I've tried.  I was using fair to medium strength which gave me just a little bit of color and that was fine.  But this week I purchased the medium to dark strength and I tried it out for the first time the night before these photos.  I think it got me a little darker and I will have to see how it will do with more applications.  I do like to have a little color during the summer months, but no longer feel like I need to bake in the sun or tanning bed to achieve the darkest tan possible.

A Target Cardigan

This cardigan was thrifted back in November, but it's the first time I've worn it.  It was brand new with tags still on.  It's a brand from Target, which I've discovered I'm very fond of and have randomly thrifted a few of their patterned ones.
I like the soft shades of yellow and nude tones in this one.

Paris in the Springtime

Wearing my new top and jeans for a quick run to Target.
When I went to the Christopher Blue website it looks like these jeans are quite pricey...selling anywhere from $65 to $150 ish.  And these I thrifted were brand new with tags (minus the price) still on them.  I had never even heard of this brand and had no idea I got such a bargain.  I just knew I liked them.

New Striped Sandals

These striped wedge sandals are as comfy as house slippers.  They're a little wild in color and stripes, but this was just one of those things I instantly was attracted to... and once I put them on and realized how amazing they felt I knew I had to have them.  Plus, they were only $1.29...so what did I have to lose?

Here are two ways I've worn them in the last week.

New Spring Cardigan And Shoes

This is a first time wear for the cardigan and shoes....and maybe the necklace too.  The cardigan has a crocheted effect on the front edge and sleeve.  I think it will look cute with jeans too.

Hope you all have a nice holiday weekend!   :)

New Snakeskin Print Blouse

I just loved this gray and cream snakeskin print blouse when I found it.  I have hardly ever worn thin dressy blouses before, but in the last couple of months I've bought 4 of them.  Other than this one, I also got 2 animal prints ones and a minty green with white polka dot one.
I wore my cream silk jacket over it on my way to work on this slightly cool morning.

Hi Lo Cobalt Dress

 I am not a fan of the high low look for myself, but I ended up bringing this dress home anyway.  I wish it was the longer length in the front too.  It was a little big and I kept pulling up the top part all day.  I had planned on belting it with a yellow skinny belt, but that caused more problems pulling down the top so I left that off.  I thought of sewing the top shoulder straps to make the top part fit better, but then that would shorten the front and I definetely don't want that.
I ended up wearing the blazer buttoned up to make things look a little more fitted.  I liked the colors and pattern of this dress, but after wearing it I'm not sure if I'll keep it.  I just don't seem to be much of a dress person.  Maybe skirts if they're more ankle length and flowy.

Gold and Black

We had an 80 degree day and I was overjoyed!  I wore these black jeans, gold emblem on teal tee, and gold flip flops to meet my daughter for an Olive Garden lunch, some Value Village thrifting, and a short walk on a pier that circles out over the water at a beach.  I wish I'd thought to get some pictures.  Such a pretty day!

 I wore this thin, black cardigan inside the restaurant.

A New Blazer $2.28

A first time wear for this new blazer.  I was very happy to run across this blazer at this low price.  I love the fabric, fit, and color.  It is a staple piece for my wardrobe and will go with just about anything.  I have another item that's similar and same color, but it's more of a "jacket" (last worn here) to be worn as part of the outfit (if desired) rather than a "blazer".   I like them both.  The other day I actually purchased a 2nd blazer in this color with a slightly different material because it was only $1.29, but I'm not quite sure if the fit is right for me.  It's a size larger than I would like.  I may wear it once so I can see it in photographs and if it's not to my liking I'll re-donate it. 

 I'm pretty much living in these beige jeans. haha
