Imitation - Sincerest Form of Flattery

One of my favorite things about following other style bloggers is that I am constantly inspired to remix things I own in ways that I haven't thought of yet.  A few weeks ago as I was cruising through my blog roll and I stopped on Jessica's blog - Surely Sonsy - where I noticed that she was sporting a fantastic outfit featuring neutrals from top to bottom.  The other thing I noticed is that I own very similar pieces but had never worn them together.

Is this a serious lack of creativity on my part?

 OR

Is this me giving a nod to Jessica's sense of style by nearly copying her look piece for piece?

Either way, I was really happy with how the look came together and will happily continue copying being inspired by my fellow style bloggers!

By the way... my curling iron decided to die half way through styling my hair.  I don't think it was incredibly noticeable but there were a few pieces that didn't get the curl love the others received.

I am now on the search to find a great 1inch curling iron... any suggestions?

Ok, I'll admit it... I shop at Kmart!

This sweater was one of my first purchases after my 30 for 30 challenge was over.  And do you know where I went??? Kmart... you heard me right.  Kmart was one of the only stores in the town where I grew up and I can't remember a time where I actually wanted to buy any piece of clothing there.  During school, no one would ever admit getting clothes there, and if you had to, you'd make up some store name if anyone asked you about your clothes... serious. 


I was inspired to go in and give it a chance again after seeing a few really cute items that Tina from T Minus, T Plus and Kimberly from Fab Finds Under $50  purchased from Kmart over the past couple of months.  The sweater was $3.99 and I picked up a beautifully patterned skirt for $3.99 as well.  For less that $10, I got two pieces that play well with a number of things in my closet. 

Check this out -
$3.99 - Sweater
$7.49 - Skirt
$6.99 - Tank
$5.99 - Belt
$0.00 - Boots (purchased with gift card from Dad)
Outfit total = under $25!!!

Lost... And Found!

I wasn't on top of my game last night when I deleted a bunch of photos.  While I was at work today I started thinking about these "lost" photos.  When I got home I looked in the trash bin and guess what?  They were in there!  I don't know why I didn't think of something that simple last night!

Grrr Baby

I was asked if I had an interview today three different times. 

I'm a little confused... I live in Northern California, not the Jersey Shore.
