Rediscovering OLDer Things

Sunglasses: Kate Spade (gift)

Necklace: Flea Market

Top: Unknown

Pants: NY&Co (old)

Wristlet: Coach (gift)

I've been going through my closet, and I've realized I have way more articles of clothing than I'm even aware of.  

When I walked out the door for dinner tonight, I felt like I was wearing a brand new outfit. But in reality, I dug these pants out of a garbage bag....that I had marked "goodwill," and was buried deep in our basement from about a year ago... AND, they still had the tag on them??

What the heck?

This is just an example of the ridiculous amount of money I've spent, and tossed aside.  Now that we are moving half way across the country, I am discovering all these hidden treasures deep in my closet (and basement), and instead of re-living them, I have to sell them :*(. 

Let this be a lesson to you!!

Just because you bought it last year, doesn't mean you should retire it in the next!

I am currently selling much of my clothing, and jewelry, on eBay because we are trying to pack lightly for our move to Texas!  If you're interested, here is just the beginning of what I'm getting rid of.

Hope to see more of you soon!

Hot dots

Loving this shirt I found in the Old Navy clearance section!  It has an overall coral hue, and the neon coral/orange polka dots are super fun for summer.  I'm also loving the deeper V neck, pocket, and "U" shaped hem.  All this for 5.99 :)  score!!! 

I'm always very proud of my clearance finds!  This ones going to the beach with me next week ;)

It's true...

I am alive, AND I'm selling my stuff!  Life has been crazy overwhelming and has thrown way too many curve balls at us in the past year... but things are going from exciting bad, to exciting GOOD!  To start off, we are moving from Pennsylvania to TEXAS!!(???)  This came out of no where, but I've decided to be really excited about it.
What I'm not excited about? Packing. And then unpacking. So, I figured what the heck... Why don't I just sell it all?! Then when I get to Texas, I'll restock lol. Fresh start, fresh closet!!
I've only just begun to post things on eBay. I've never done it before, so I'm starting out slow. Does anyone know of a better place to sell your clothes??

I refuse...

To put my white jeans away.

Nope, not gonna happen.

Hello again

Sweater and Chambray:: Old Navy

Jeans:: Paige Denim via TJ Maxx

Boots:: Forever 21 (2010?)

Necklace and watch:: Target

Bag: Thirty-one Gifts via Tabitha

Welll helllllllllo......

Yes, I have been MIA forEVER.  Mostly because I'm broke, so I haven't gone shopping in 2 months.  When I started this blog, I went bonkers.  I felt justified by my every move in the shopping mall, and I lost total control.  I was retail drunk.

Now that my credit cards are sobering up, perhaps its time to fall off the wagon and celebrate FALL.  I love love love layers and big comfy clothes! :)

 This outfit is actually all last year, but are basic pieces that are easy to find at stores like Old Navy, Gap, Target, etc.

The NEW accessory though, is this thirty-one bag.  I got mine through Tabitha who's a current thirty-one consultant.  Check out their catalog, they have a ton of purses, totes, thermal bags, and other stylish accessories.  You can even have them personalized if you wish.  

What I like about this purse, is that you can change its look.  The denim part is called a "skirt", and you can change out the skirt for a different pattern (or material) to suit your needs.  You can go from day to night with just one bag..cool huh?  I think the best part is that you could wash the skirt, or do a quick skirt ONLY change in the event of an emergency.... like when you spill  your red wine margarita taco coffee on it.

Thirty-one seems like a great place to order gifts for the upcoming holidays, AND is having a special right now:: Spend $31, and get 31% ... hmm that seems appropriate :)

Anyone else looking forward to big comfy sweaters and hot chocolate?? Mmmmmmmm... can't wait!
