clearance sales to know about

I don't know what your plans are for this weekend, but I recommend hitting some of your favorite stores. Now that the holidays are over, everything is going on sale for them to get ready for the Spring Break attire. [Crazy, right?!]

This is my favorite time to shop at Forever21. Everything in clearance is an extra 50% off! here are some of the things I'm ordering or think you should check out:

I've seen so many put those lace tops over dresses and I dig it! Plus- sweaters for under $10?! Count me in!

I've been in need of some black flats and a black tank, so those are basic but also fancy! The floral pants are the same ones I have that I've been wearing a little too much, and the striped bodycon skirt is another staple everyone should have.

Also- Express is doing an extra 40% off their clearance! When you add in the shipping, it's not exactly within my "this is an amazing deal" category, but these tops are a steal if you can find them in store!

Some other places I've seen with solid deals:

• Seems like everything is on sale in the Target stores
• H&M has a TON on sale right now and it's all free shipping this weekend
• Wet Seal is an extra 60% off clearance and a ton of things for $5
• ASOS has an extra 10% off clearance

Let me know if you see any good sales so I can share them! I'm sorry for making you blow your money this weekend but like... it's not blowing it cuz it's worth it!

outfit: skater dress with some bling

Sometimes it's really hard for me to pick outfits for Friday nights. Whatever it is, I have to wear it to work, and then wear it out, to a bar that probably hasn't been picked by the time I leave. It could be fancy, it could be chill.... the options are endless.

Dresses are my go-to for these days. They require the least amount of matching, and are acceptable anywhere. I picked my $6 skater dress and dressed it up with a blingy necklace, and made it workable for the chilly night with some chambray.

-dress from Ross $6

-chambray shirt from Target

-necklace from Rue21 $2

-shoes from Charlotte Russe $5

-makeup is Urban Decay Fishnet and Ransom eyeshadow

You might notice the necklace has a missing piece, but I colored it in with a Sharpie and I don't think it's noticeable unless you're looking that close. Some call me cheap, I call myself practical.

Side note: I love living with a dog again. Dogs make life way more fun and active. That's Abby. She's great.

what i've been wearing- the end of summer

I've been pretty good about getting dressed and looking nice every day, but I've been awful at taking pictures... go figure.

Anyway, here's a look at some things I've been seen in.

This dress is the product of really good advertising. I saw an ad for this ASOS dress being $16 on Facebook, and less than five minutes later it was on its way to me. I really do love the skater style dresses and skirts right now.. the only downside is if it's windy- you're goodies are bound to show.

-earrings from XXI

-shoes from Kohls

[New haircut alert, thanks to Hair Graphics in Virginia Beach! Those dead ends had to go.] 

This necklace is something that's gonna transform my usual not-so-girly fashion, I feel... but I also plan on using it to just spruce up some more plain outfits. I love the contrast of texture it has with my new crochet tank. 

-necklace- Rue21 $2!

-tank- JLo brand at Kohl's clearance $4

-jeans from Kohl's $20

-flats- Charming Charlies $5

My first day at work yesterday was like the first day of school. I was so excited to go back to a place and people I knew, but have all new experiences... and I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear! Thanks to a bunch of you commenting on this awesome new necklace from my Rue21 haul, I built the outfit around it.

-blazer from K-Mart! Seriously. $15

-tee from Express clearance $15ish

-jeans from F21 $10

-flats from Target $8

I'll be sharing a bunch more from my first day[s] at work soon... but if I'm being honest, which I always am- I still feel like I'm living in a dream. I AM living a dream, but it doesn't seem real yet. I'm still trying to soak everything in.
