Back to school on a budget!

Hello & Happy Friday!

I'm finally settled in from being out of town & I'm so happy to share a thrift haul. After spending $264 on school supplies alone for my soon to be Kindergartener, the first place I looked for clothes were of course some thrift stores. I found some great brands at even greater prices! 

These were from my favorite Goodwill here in VA. Children's clothing is only $1.99 per item! 

Osh Kosh hoodie
Chaps long sleeve button down
Tony Hawk polo
Chaps polo
Old Navy striped tee
Gap logo tee
Children's Place tee
Children's Place tee

All for a little over $16! 

This was my Once Upon a Child haul. I absolutely love this thrift store! It's clean, organized and always has great brands for a steal! I purchased a pair of Jordan sneakers, 5 jeans, a pair of khakis, 5 polo shirts, a basic tee & 3 pairs of shorts for $86! 

So all in all for a new school wardrobe I spent a little more than $100! My son also got 2 new pairs of sneakers(not pictured). With how fast kids grow, I can't imagine paying full price for clothing. 

Until next time, 

Kristen

Haunted

Everybody has a past. Everybody has skeletons in their closet that they try to hide. Maybe because we're embarrassed of who we used to be, or that those skeletons contain a tremendous amount of regret. What is so frustrating, is that we can't take anything that we've done back. There's the saying "you can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one". I was a huge party girl in highschool. I smoked pot, I drank, I dated alot of wrong guys. I had zero self esteem so I fed off of attention from unhealthy sources. No, I wasn't a slut...but I did definitely dated around and was extremely naïve, which earned me a bad reputation. Today, at 27 years old, I'm a mother of 2..I work an honest job, I pay my bills on time and I am very in love with my boyfriend. I ignore messages in my inbox from anything with a penis, because I respect my relationship. I'm settled. I don't party. I don't so drugs. I rarely miss a day of work and m...

2 huge Goodwill hauls!

Image
I would like to apologize for my brief hiatus from blogging, I have been out of state a lot the past month for family reasons. For the last month I feel like everything has been a blur between running a household, kids, school and family. I've been to Goodwill here and there so I put together a haul to share with you all! I've been having a lot of great finds lately :D So here we go!  Finding 5 pairs of shoes at the same Goodwill that were my taste & size was a pretty lucky feeling, not to mention I scored some major brands. These shoes are all never worn/hardly worn. $4.99 a pair!  These Dressbarn flats are perfect for Fall! I love the deep green color and capped toe detail.  These chestnut brown Mossimo flats with gold studded detail are the cutest! Once again, definitely going to be a Fall essential.  I love Sperry's, however I hate the price of them. I found these hardly worn leopard print ones today and I can't wait to wear them!  I love the vintage/hip...

Falling in love with yourself.

Yes, you read that right. I believe that on the pursuit of self happiness you have to fall in love with yourself. You can't give your heart, soul, mind & body to somebody else if you don't love what is on the inside & what's staring back at you in the mirror. For the longest time, I wanted to be something I wasn't. I'm only 5' feet tall, I have a pear shape(smaller boobs/bigger butt&thigh area), my bottom teeth are crooked, I'm pale, my face is round & overall I consider myself more of an athletic build. I would look at myself in the mirror everyday and wish I had different features. We all see these beauty standards in magazines of women with long, lean legs, long&flowy hair, commercial ready smiles, tiny waists, curves in all the right places  and gorgeous, tan flawless skin. Let me tell you, I wanted to be that so badly. I always thought I might be "more" if I was "prettier". Comparing yourself to someone else is on...
