Daily Opportunity To Have a Good Time

 

I have loved lucky magazine ever since it came out (thanks to Amanda!). It's the one magazine I have faithfully subscribed to.  The method of how I read it has become a ritual. First, I leaf through the whole thing to get an idea of what is in store. Then the next day (or if I have a whole nowhere-to-be-but-on-my-couch-night) I dive in deeper & read every page, not always in order but EVERY PAGE.  The final page of the July issue had this quote in it that just spoke to me so I had to share it.  I love getting dressed in the morning - I think it's so much fun, sure I have fat days and days when I hate everything in my closet. Some days are a hit & others are a miss but for the most part I probably have too much fun getting dressed each day.  

I loved this outfit that I wore a couple weeks ago.  It was a hit. I just felt good in it & it made me want to jump around (again). This little white shift has been in my closet for years. It's a little cotton organic piece that just works on every day (similar here). This blazer & these sandals have become staples in my spring wardrobe.  The necklace I get tons of questions & compliments on was under $15 at Target! And this lip color just makes me smile.

Cheers to your daily opportunity to have a good time (oh & summer fridays at my office!). Happy weekend y'all!

Target: A Thrifty Gal's Anthropologie

Spring is here and my urgency to shop is too.  Inspired by this springs bright colors and patterns for spring I just can't resist shopping!! (Yes, I know I probably should go to meetings - but that's a whole different story.)

Ask anyone I know what my favorite store is - they'll tell you Anthropologie without hesitation. It's known and I let it be known (thank you for whoever has gifted me an anthro gift card in the past - it makes me giddy just thinking about them and I still have the clothes I bought with them in my closet.)

Anthro is no doubt spendy.  A girl's gotta eat and as much as fashion feeds my soul it doesn't do the same for my belly (or Chris's at that).  So I give you Target, the poor gal's Anthro.  Growing up I was blessed with a mother who was trained in apparel design - so not only did all of my clothes fit they were sometimes custom made just for me!  Taking the "I can make that" mentality instilled by my mother and grandmother when referring to an expensive article of clothing,  I accepted the personal (mental) challenge to recreate some looks I found at Anthropologie.*


After a trip to Target this weekend I managed to feed my soul with this spring's trends and save about $335 all the while! See how I saved $335.04 after the jump!
