Going back to Tribal Featuring GS-Love

Happy Friday! Cheers to the freaking holiday weekend!

I kicked off my Memorial day weekend by going to see the one and only Vivian Green! She was in town last night and took us on an emotional rollercoaster mini concert style! Her voice is amazing!

Vivian's style strikes me as earthy, flowy and tribal. GS-love never disappoints as this blue jean print, tribal, capri style romper is is all that in one!

The material is kinda strectchy, but I could tell that from the website. Everyone may not know fabric, so my suggestion is to size up. I'm wearing a 3x here.

The most rewarding $12 ever spent

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

I went home to spend some time with my Mom one day and it happened to be on a Wednesday. Senior Citizen Day at Roses (the discount store). So guess who had to take her... ME! But, for real I love Roses so I asked her not to leave me! LOL

I  usually find some cute and reasonably priced graphic tees or pencil skirts in the clothing section.  But on this day I found the best $12 investment EVER!

This solidifies my you try it on rule. You can't be turned off by size. As this is a xl. But the fabric is soooo forgiving. I just want to wear it over and over.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The Bigger the Better... CLUTCH

Happy MONDAY...

I'm working at Joann Fabric and crafts part-time so I get 1st dibs on the remnants or leftover fabric. So, I'm digging through the bins and what did I find?!?! A Gem! More Leopard Print Faux Fur!

Faux fur or fur will forever be a trend during the winter season and instead of making the typical vest or jacket, I decided I wanted a clutch bag...Like a Bigger than life, leopard print, faux fur, Clutch bag!

It ended up being about a 30 min project. Using Velcro instead of a zipper, would've cut that time in half!

Jordache Jean Jacket/Dress/Belt : Thrifted
Shoes: Citi-Trends 

I thrifted this dress last year and #Thriftflipped it to resemble a bodycon. I've really been crushing on velvet lately, partially because It's so forgiving! 

Wishing You a Great Week!

No Limit (s) : A week of THIS Army Fatigue Trench Coat...

I had a dream... yes, a dream about this coat. Woke up, googled it, and I saw nothing. The way my Creativity is set up these days, if I can't buy it, (which I couldn't) I'll make it! So I went to the thrift store, bought three jackets, and put them all together.

The next question I had was, what would I wear this coat with? Answer: Hell, Army Fatigue IS the new black. So let's just say Everything! LOL I plan to dress this up, dress it down, I'm wearing this mug to the gym, and the laundry mat! HAHAHAHA

Since the University of Alabama won the National Championship last night. I had to add the houndstooth. Today we're mixing prints.

Creative Mechanism

I went thrifting with one of my good Judy's last week and I saw what looked to be a mechanic's jumpsuit (Car, air, etc) and I decided to try it on. I was on a $10.00 or less budget and the suit was 9.99 so I was going to leave it. Lucky for me, my friend saw my vision, took pity on me, and bought it for me! (Did I mention I have great, wonderful, loving, supportive friends)

                                        

I made the legs shorter, to give it the capri or culottes feel

added a belt along with other accessories! I consider my Hips and accessory! LOL

You have to be creative! So be sure to think outside the box!

Have a great week!

Thrifty Thursday: 2.5.15

 

Man I'm on Cloud nine... Two posts in one week! HAHA! So I visited with my older sister this weekend and she took the time point out that I haven't been consistent with my Thrifty Thursday posts. So this one is for you 'Laine! 

 

I went to a new thrift spot yesterday. Went in on a whim and I LIVED!! Had to cut back on my thrifting lately due to #BUDGETCUTS LMBO and plus since thrifting is the newest craze, the prices are going up! *rolls eyes* I saw this Jacket and said hmmmm... It's textured, it's reversible, it's colored, it's oversized, it's PERFECT! 

 

 

 

Went with the black side and rolled the blue side up...

Dress was thrifted by way of ING/ Boots came from Simply Fashions

CALL GYRL...BOOTS OOTD: RE-VISITED

Good Sunday Afternoon Folks! It was such a beautiful non-wintry day yesterday, you know the type of day that makes you wanna get REALLY Cute for no reason...and that's what I did! I actually wore this for a night out during Thanksgiving break but Didn't get the right photos to post. I got this Tribal print dress from Fashion to Figure a few months back. I paired the dress with tights and this Red blazer (staple closet piece) and the fit was a hit... I felt like an extra on the movie "Pretty Woman" with the boots on... =)

             To be honest this post is really all about the thigh high boots! Got these from Torrid! 

           Boots are comfortable but better for the REALLY cold days, I was hot as H3LL!! lol

                              Anything other than RED LIPS would be unacceptable! lol

                                               BEHIND THE SCENES... Close up

So...I'm adding these boots to the "I feel SEXY" section in my closet... Can't wait to wear these babies again. Have a great Sunday!! Cheers to a productive work week!

What are some staple pieces in your closet?

Keep Dreamin,

E. Louise
