Old Dresses & New Hair

Do you ever leave something in your closet and just not wear it no matter how cute it is? Want to hear somethings crazy?…………..

dress- ModCloth, ballet flats- J.Crew Factory, clip in extensions- BFB Hair 21” in Butterscotch

For some reason I have had this adorable dress sitting in my closet for over a year and haven’t worn it yet. I got it for my birthday in March of 2020, right as COVID was hitting…which in turn meant working from home, not seeing people in public, and wearing legging…lots of leggings. So this dress just sort of hibernated in my closet.

But I figured I might as well break it out now. Why not?! Adding this dress to the rotation of all of my plain, boring, basic, cotton dresses will jazz things up a bit. I mean this print is just too cute…animals playing tennis. Love it!

Also, I wanted to show you guys my new clip in hair extensions I just got recently from BFB Hair. I’m kind of obsessed with them. I’ve been wanting these for so long…and BFB Hair just had their 20% off sale that they have twice a year. So I grabbed these in Butterscotch. Initially I ordered a few sample colors to make sure the color matched, and this shade is so exact I cannot get over how natural it looks.

What do you guys think of the long locks?

Nightgown Around Town

boho nightgown dress- UIMLK available on Amazon, pink booties- ASOS

I’m obsessed with this dress. it’s light weight, has a bold yet fun print, and even has pockets. This particular dress which is available on Amazon only costs $27.99! It also comes in 36 different prints and colors, so there is a style for everyone’s taste. I might have to pick up a few more because they are all so unique.

What do you think of the nightgown dress style? Would you give it a try?

Also, don’t forget to wear your masks! I took these photos early morning on an empty street with nobody around. I may be fully vaccinated, but when I’m in contact with others I make sure to mask up. I love the fabric masks from Old Navy which I’m wearing here. I must have 30 of them!

Five Ways I Save Money When I Shop

If you are already following me on TikTok you would have likely seen this video. However, for the rest of my readers I wanted to share my tips here to give you all a thorough understanding on my favorite ways to save. And I mean, who doesn’t like saving money?

• Be sure you sign up for mailing lists at your favorite retailers. This will keep you up to date with the sales they have going on. Worried that this will just clog your inbox? I use Gmail and all of my mailing lists get sorted into my promotions folder. They are often towards the bottom of websites.

• I typically shop over the weekend or during any given holiday. Sales are always happening. Also, if you Google the phrase “sales by month” you’ll find the best time of year to buy an item.

• Promo codes are soooooo important! You typically will find them at the top of a retailer’s website. Also, Google “promo codes” because sometimes you’ll find some hidden gems that aren’t advertised. If you don’t see any promo codes at all, wait a few days to make your purchase. The money you save will be worth the wait.

• Loyalty and rewards memberships are usually free to sign up for. You will often get free shipping, gift cards, points towards future purchases, or even a free gift on your birthday!

• If you aren’t using the Ibotta app you are seriously missing out. I try to pay through Ibotta whenever I can. You get a percentage back when you do this and the money you save goes towards future gift cards! Be sure to click here if you aren’t signed up yet to join my team.

HAPPY SHOPPING (and happy saving)!

Three Cool Ways To Wear A Faux Fur Leopard Print Coat

I have to admit, I love leopard print (almost as much as I love stripes and polka dots). When I saw this Cupcakes and Cashmere Tinsley Faux Fur Leopard Coat on Bloomingdale’s website I knew I had to have it. Also, I got it wayyyyyyyy on sale…which makes it even better. The good news for you is that you can get it for 15% off (when you use the code SAVEMORE at checkout). In addition to their promo code I made sure to use my loyalty reward card (it’s free to sign up) and I paired my Bloomingdale’s Ibotta discount.

LOOK #1

I’m starting off by keeping it casual, comfy, and quirky. I paired my coat with some matching flats in the same print. Throwing on some cut offs over tights and a bold red lip elevates this simple style.

LOOK #2

I feel that this outfit is still casual but slightly sophisticated. I pair my skinny jeans with a polka dot top and some laced up booties. Add on a velvet puffy headband and it pulls the entire look together.

LOOK #3

This last look totally stands out. Pair a full skirt, a thin turtleneck, bright tights, and bold booties for a style that is sure to get you noticed.

I got it in a medium and would say it’s true to size. I can’t wait for the bitter cold to end so I can wear it soon. It’s been crazy cold in NYC and only a long puffy jacket will do at the moment (this coat isn’t super heavy). Looking forward to wearing this next week!

What do you guys think of this coat? Are you as in love with it as I am?
