OOTD: Sunday Sister Thrift Style:Coral

 

I have made it a habit lately to go to Goodwill every Friday and this Friday, this dress was my favorite find! 🙂 It did not have a tag, but it is a blue dress with a layer of coral and black on the bottom(& it was a whopping $5.67, a steal!). I paired it with a coral sweater from my mom’s closet, black leggings, and of course my new Vera Wang Boots. (Even though I post about them a lot, I promise I wear other shoes! I just wear these with my post able outfits!) My little sister is wearing a cheetah dress from Goodwill that was $3.99 paired with a  coat on sale from Target and also black leggings.

I think people (even me) seem to think sometimes that since it is winter that bright colors don’t go with outfits and that layers look bulky, but if you do it right with the right type of outfit, you will stand out in the crowd.

SHOUT OUT to my mom Tina!!!! She took these pictures & she supports my blog more than anyone else! She is where I learned thrifting from, Thank you mom!

Hope everyone had a Happy Sunday! God Bless!

Love always ,Laken

OOTD: Red & Blue Hearts

So this is actually yesterday’s OOTD,but I didn’t have time to post it,and the pictures are terrible because I didn’t have anyone to take them and it was night. I really need to get my blog act together! Haha.
This shirt came from TjMaxx and it was around $15 and the sweater came from Target for $20!! I think it’s so doll. I paired it with my fave Vera Wang boots and black skinnies. In need of cute red earrings for this outfit!

 

Love always,Laken

 

I also got this cupcake tonight for a belated bday present and I had to share! Usually Gigi’s cupcakes aren’t good to me, but this one was delish!

OOTD: thrifted blue lace shirt & cross bracelet

It was very cold this morning when I woke up and I tore my tights so a dress wasn’t an option for church this morning. Yesterday I bought a UBER CUTE blue lace shirt at Goodwill for $4.00!! Wore my dark skinnies,fave Vera Wang boots, and new cross jewelry! Simple but awesome outfit!
Tried my new nail polish ( Rimmel London Steel Grey) which I thought looked like a mix between purple and brown,but still stylish! Hope you like it. Happy Sunday!

Please excuse the photography on these pictures! Looking for better ways to take pictures & better backdrops!

These earrings were at Maurices ($8.00) !!

For lunch today we went to Macaroni Grill! It was soooo good and we had a hilarious waiter. He was extremely loud but very hilarious! I enjoyed the shrimp alfredo, green salad with Mediterranean dressing, and macaroni & cheese balls for appetizer! SOOO GOOD!

SIDE NOTE: Got these 6 books at Goodwill yesterday for $.50 a piece. I’ve read all of them, but they are so good! Yes, even though I dislike the Twilight movies and fandom I did enjoy the books before all of that came out!

OOTD: Thrift Shirt & Vera Wang Boots

I am extremlyyyyy happy about my newest purchase! I got $120 Vera Wang black boots for $35!!! At Kohls!! 🙂 They had really great sales this week.

I am also happy with my Goodwill $4 shirt that reminds me of the cartoon Madeline! I’ve gotten many compliments on it,and people are shocked when i tell them it’s from goodwill! I paired it with,of course my new boots,and a pearl bracelet & earrings.
Stepping up my style & feeling a thrift store trip soon 🙂
Happy shopping!
Love always,laken!

OOTD: Forever 21 Hearts & Pearls

For those of you who don’t know what “OOTD” means,it is “Outfit of the day”. I recently went on my after Christmas shopping trip with a pocket full of cash and gift cards (YAY!) and came home happy! At my friend’s casual New Year’s Eve party I sported a Pink Forever 21 Sweater ($17.50), Seven Skinny jeans from TJMaxx ($30.00), light brown boots from KMart ($20.00),and the CUTEST earrings from Forever 21 ($2.80!!!). I am a sucker for sweaters and anything with pearls!! I had an awesome time at the party and I love my outfit,which didn’t cost too much :). Happy Shopping!
Love always, laken.

And by the way…the Beautiful lady in the picture next to me was the party hostess and one of my closest friends, Sarah 🙂
