Urban Cowgirl

What up people?!?! I think I woke up late this day, as per usual so I threw on some basics! I love this chambray top from Old Navy, got it for $17, what a steal.  The skirt if from Forever 21, I'm a big fan of their basic items, some of their other stuff is too flashy for me.  The best part of the get up is the boots.  I scored them from Bakers.com for only $20, they were originally $120 but I managed to check my email on my lucky day to get such a deal, I couldn't resist real suede for $20, that's illegal.  I must also add that Bakers might have the best/speediest service ever not only did the boots ship for free they also got to me within 2 days of ordering them, I ordered them at like 4 a.m. on a Thursday, got the shipping confirmation email on Friday morning, and got the boots Saturday morning.  You can't beat that kind of service!

The next few shots are just to show you how weird I am

Shorty

I've finally made friends in Memphis, thank goodness, I was so bored and always missing Hendrix.  And although I still miss it dearly, my new work friends and I have been going to do Karaoke on Thursday nights, now it can't beat the nights at ZaZa but I'm not sure anything ever could.  Since I can't wear shorts to work, how lame, I pretty much always wear them on my off days.  I love shorts, maybe because I love my legs thanks to all that dancing and cheering I grew up doing!  I love these shorts, they're rather dressy, I got them from Gap a few years ago for under $20, which is basically free, I love the little bow purse which is also from Gap and under $20  The top is from Target of course and I bought it for under $10, the shoes are from Target as well and I got them for $16.  BOOM! I'm a deal machine and I can't be stopped!  The red lipstick I'm wearing is one of my absolute favorites, it's made by NYX and I wish I could think of the name but I have recently lost it and I'm going through terrible separation anxiety, if I don't find it soon I will be at the nearest Ulta dropping some dough.  Now I'm all sad thinking about the missing lipstick, I have a suspicion that my 2 year old best friend at church stole it, she did have her tiny hands in my purse on Sunday and did get out/put on her favorite lip gloss.  I'm launching a full blown investigation.

Skirting the Issue

Good day beautiful people, it's starting to cool down here in Memphis but I'm still holding onto the remnants of Spring and Summer, my favorite seasons.  So as it cools down I'll be the clown strutting around in bright colors and bare legs, but in my defense I try to make them more "Fall appropriate," that's what I was going for by wearing the denim jacket in this look, I think it worked.  There's nothing fancy about this outfit, just some nice pieces having a good time together.  I had been searching for a denim jacket forever since I realized that they're in again, I ordered one from Zara but it was the wrong size and I had to send it back only to find out they were out of stock :(  I was a sad jacket-less puppy until I found this cutie in the kid's section at Target, it was only $24.99 and since I have a Target debit card I got an additional 5% off, not too shabby.  It's a great fit, it's actually a little roomy, must be all the spinach I eat these days.  The lovely yellow skirt is from ASOS, I got it for only $16 which is practically free for such a nice item; my only complaint about the skirt is that it is not very easy to maneuver in, I have to be very careful not to rip the split since it is a serious pencil skirt!  I threw on a white tank and my cute little almost-flesh colored Franco Sarto sandals and called it a day.  By this look I had gotten a little better at using the tripod, I'm still working on it!

Holy slit Batman

Black Mamba

Hello lovely people! It's been a while since I've posted something, I was camera-less for a while but I finally got a new one thanks to Canon!  I was also photographer-less since my sisters are out of town at school and my mom and I have opposite schedules, but my dad is a photographer and he loaned me one of his tripods.  So, I'm back in business!  Of course I've been catching some amazing steals while I've been away, the shopping never stops for me, it probably should at some point.  Anywho, I decided to kick off the week with  this saucy little snake print skirt (hence the Black Mamba reference).  I scored this gem from Target for only $13, how could I pass up such a deal, it's a classic style with a funky twist.  Since the skirt speaks for itself and I'm all about simplicity, I just paired it with my favorite black shirt that I also scored from Target, I also have this shirt in pink and green, I'm just a little obsessed.  On to the shoes!  When I was a kid/tween I didn't really care for JCPenney, maybe it's because my dad always took us there with his coupons and shopping with your father is always a chore.  It's funny to think that I always wondered why he had to use coupons, of course he used them, he had three girls! But now I am a big lover of coupons and use them all the time.  Back to JCPenney...that's where I got these amazingly chunky heels.  I think I originally stopped in the store because there's a Sephora inside but me being me, I managed to make my way around the entire store.  While in the shoe department I spotted these and had to try them on, at first they kinda looked like every other black sandal that I own but once I put them on it was different.  They are so chunky, yet they don't look bulky, they actually make my legs look longer.  The $24.99 price tag sealed the deal and these babies and I have been in love ever since.  Once I put on one of my favorite shades of lipstick I was good to go!

The pictures aren't superb but it was my first day with the tripod, I think they get better  

I also went to see Band of Horses this night with one of my musical soul mates Ellie Casalman, it was a lovely concert and I was so happy to be reunited with that girl!
