Goodwill haul + Fall styling from my closet!

Hello there! It's been a couple of weeks, adjusting to being a college student and mother of 2 is easier said than done. I was able to get caught up on much needed housework and homework this weekend, so I thought I'd share my Goodwill haul and how I would style them for this upcoming fall season! 

Fall is my favorite time of the year. From pumpkin patches, delicious flavored coffee, football and of course the fashion that fall brings! Scarves, boots, tights, cardigans..I love it all! 

I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend, I spent most of mine inside but I'm so happy I'm finally able to post in my blog again. 

So here's my Goodwill finds and how I would style them, 

I adore this dress. It was only $6.99 but still has the original store tags on it for $59.50. I almost didn't purchase it because the brand was Hollister and I'm not a teenager anymore, I'm a 25 year old mother of 2; BUT...styled properly I think I can pull it off & I don't care about what people think anyways..so it came home with me. 

I love the idea of mixing subtle prints and the relaxed vibe this Merona button up gives the dress. The red scarf adds a nice contrast to the blue tones and the boots are perfect for upcoming fall season. I would wear tights with it of course (most likely the off-white color in the stripes on the dress/shirt), everything except the scarf is from Goodwill! :) 

I love the floral print of this Delia's dress, it was only $6.99 and the more neutral colors make it great for fall! 
I paired this dress with a baby blue target cardigan to pull out some of the colors in the floral print. I think some suede oxfords would be perfect for this, or maybe go Taylor Swift and break out the Keds? Definitely a relaxed & put together look for fall. The cardigan is also a Goodwill find, of course :)

This. Sweater. It gives me life. It's glittery, it's stache-y & most of all I think it's amazing. Especially for $3.49! 
This is definitely my type of style. The red scarf gives the black and white outfit a pop of color and the leather jacket/combat boots combo scream "I'm a badass." I might even pair this with some camo skinny jeans or grey? Hmm. Either would work! Everything except for the scarf is from Goodwill. 

This was only $2.75 and I love the sea foam greenish/blue color & the sheer paneled sleeves. 
Paired with some dark brown riding boots and this feather print scarf that has the same blue hue in it, this would be a great casual look, just add your favorite jeans! 

That's it for now, have a great week! Until next time, stay frugal :)

    Thank you! I have 3 Goodwills close by so I try to rotate to find the good stuff :) The combat boots are from Goodwill(they were only $4.99!) & the riding boots I got on clearance from Target a few years ago :)

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...
