Hey yall. I changed my hair. I'm still getting used to it. It's much bigger in person.

I'm on Spring Break this week and I have had to pause getting my life so hard because I have caught the sick.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Scarves and Sniffles

I've had a killer sore throat for a couple of days so I've been feeling lousy. I wore this to go run errands and was told that I looked "spiffy" while I was out. 

sunglasses: Giorgio Armani
blazer: Giorgio Armani (thrifted)
grey long sleeve tee: Walmart
scarf: Forever 21
jeans: 7 For All Mankind
boots: Nine West
bag: Chloe

This is what I wore Wednesday:

Not too crazy about this outfit, I think it's the shoes but I had to do a flat boot with the way that I was feeling...

turtleneck: Zara
vest (with pockets): Zara
skirt: Zara
(See a trend here?! I used to shop at Zara faithfully and hopefully will be seeing them again real soon when my funds are replenished!) 

The kids were so enamored by these earrings. They asked to touch them, if they are heavy (no) and one girl asked if they were clip-ons (they are.) She said her granny wears clip-ons. (Not sure if that puts me in a good or bad category.) I got them at a resale shop for $3.

These aren't "birthday outfits" but hopefully tomorrow I can redeem myself...

In The Fashionista's Closet: Boho a Go-Go

Went with a friend to the Make Urban Street Bazaar in the Bishop Arts District and was disappointed. These were the same vendors (or types of vendors) that I've seen year after year at the Street Bazaar and at Dallas Craft Mafia events so there was nothing new to me. This is the last year of the bazaar but they are planning an indoor type of marketplace which I hope will be stocked with more diverse items.  

We did go to some new thrift spots and I was able to compare them to my favorite thrifting haunts. I found a couple of places that I want to add to my thrift list.

Scarf (on head) and necklace: Forever 21 Sunglasses: Armani Dress: Gifted from mom Sweater: Marshalls Bag: Thrifted Flip flops: NY and Co (Don't ask, I got these many moons ago when the store was closing.)

If you haven't yet, please watch Joan Rivers on E!'s Fashion Police, she is SO funny! She is the Queen Bee holding court with Kelly Osbourne (who has come a loooooooonnnnnnnggggg way), Giuliana Rancic and stylist George Kotsiopoulos who break down the hits and misses every week of celeb style. I got a chance to see Joan Rivers live a couple of years ago when she came to Dallas and she was truly hilarious! I also got a chance to meet her after the show and she graciously took photos with all of the people backstage. (Thanks Denise!)

She is a little bitty something and she looked great. I was giddy as you can tell by my cheesy macaroni smile!

Outfit Planning Challenge starts tomorrow so I have to get my outfits together for the week. Wish me luck!

In The Fashionista's Closet: Success! + A Dented Car

After my outfit despair of yesterday, I felt totally comfortable and at ease with today's ensemble. This has to be my favorite skirt ever, I have had it for many moons and will cry nonstop if I ever have to let it go. Paired it with a watercolor racerback tank, bold yellow earrings and even though you can't  see it, an orange skinny belt. I also love these earrings and cannot for the life of me remember where I bought them. I wear them to death!

While taking pics I heard a loud crash and went to investigate around the corner where my car was parked. A dead tree limb had decided to break free from it's owner and slam onto the side of my car leaving dents and scratches as its calling card. I decided that God was trying to tell me something for being so vain and taking photos of myself instead of seeing the beauty in the nature around me. But I did get some pretty good photos from my surroundings so that counts for something, right? RIGHT??

 
Outfit Details:

Sunglasses: Giorgio Armani

Yellow earrings: Can't remember

Racerback tank: Buffalo Exchange

Orange belt: Target

Green maxi skirt: Arden B

Brown flats: Payless from 84654975471 years ago *I just can't give them up*

Thanks to Petra for taking my pics today and consolation over the dent fiasco. Here's hoping Mesquite Parks and Rec fixes my car in a hurry....
