Catch Up

I tend to fall of the face of the Earth and let weeks pass by without me even realizing it. But I’m sure anyone who reads this regularly has noticed that by now. So it’s cool. Right? Anywho, here’s what has been going on:

• I attended New Orleans Fashion Week for Slow Southern Style and took oodles of photos. Check them out, along with my recap HERE!

• I interviewed Kaelah of Little Chief Honeybee for the Southern Fashion Bloggers.

And that’s about it. Not much. Oh well.

 

Fashion Challenge: $100 Outfit

The Southern Fashion Bloggers have a presented a challenge; put together an entire outfit that costs $100 or less. I am most definitely a frugal shopper and love finding a good deal so I was kind of excited when I saw their post. Now I may have technically cheated, as I didn’t go to my closet for my outfit. But I’ve just been feeling so uninspired with my own wardrobe lately and have been looking to revamp it. So I looked no further than my job, I went to Funky Monkey and threw a look together. I don’t really feel like I’m cheating, as this place has seriously become my closet. Too many times have I shown up at work and gotten dressed. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to get myself a brand new outfit.

Top: $26

Skirt: $30

Shoes: $24

Bracelets: $10 each

It worked out too perfectly, totaling at exactly $100. I went for a silky soft bird print shirt, a trendy hi-low skirt and neutral shoes to balance out the rest of the outfit. I topped it off with two vintage gold bangles, because you can’t not have jewelry.

I’m also happy to say that I will be getting rid of my Summer Ombre’d hair on Friday. Yay!

Summertime Chic

Welcome to my first group post for Southern Fashion Bloggers, a group of fabulous gals who share a love of fashion and live in the same geographical location!

My favorite Summer shoes are my trusty black wedges. I was coveting Dolce Vita’s version, but had to be frugal and pick up what Target had to offer. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I own; I’ve worn them for hours at work, made my way up and down Frenchman St, and have even gone grocery shopping in them. I am not kidding about the comfort.

I also love the chic, modern design that adds an edge to even the prettiest dresses.

Now head over and check out the other posts from this month’s group post!
