Camouflage Girl

Just having fun with this outfit! I cut several inches off of the bottom of these boyfriend jeans (these are literal guys jeans) to wear them more as capri jeans. Which is pretty weird I know...boyfriend capri jeans? Really? But I just went with it.

The waist isn't the best fit so suspenders are actually needed. I went with the weirdness and just added to it with a camo shirt and checkered Vans sneaks!

Outfit details:

Camo tee: Amazon

Jeans: Thrifted Men's Levi's

Vans: Amazon

Earrings: H&M

Suspenders: Thrifted

"Looks for Less" Blogger Fashion Challenge {Asheville Outlets}

Just a short while ago I wrote about the grand opening of the Asheville Outlets and what a literal breath of fresh air an outdoor mall was going to be. Fast forward a few months and here I am wearing an entire outfit purchased from Asheville Outlets for under $100 (including tax)!

I was contacted to participate in the Looks for Less Blogger Fashion Challenge and I jumped at the opportunity. If anyone can pull together a bargain deal of an outfit, I knew I could. I have lived most of my life near a sales rack! As soon as they handed me $100, away I went... challenge accepted!

This outfit is perfect for a fun night out! Whether it's drinks and dancing with the girls, dinner and a movie with a date, or just a chocolate overload at the French Broad Chocolate Lounge with your favorite person in the world, this outfit will be perfect.

What I really wanted to achieve in this challenge was to try to shop from as many stores as I could to show you guys that the good deals are literally everywhere at Asheville Outlets! I chose an outfit that was really me, because when I feel like I'm the best version of me, then my confidence soars. Now for the good part! Let me give you the run down of this outfit:

Gray Cardigan: Forever 21, $15

Sparkly Tank Top: Express, Original price $34.95, Sale price $21

Boyfriend Jeans: Gap, Original price $64.99, Sale price $33

Gray Wedge Sandals: Maurice's, Original price $39, Sale Price $20

Earrings: Forever 21 $4

After all was said and done (and after taxes), I spent right around $99. Without the great sale prices I would've paid roughly $160. That's $61 I saved! 

I love the comfy material of the tank (Express) and the cardigan (Forever 21). The jeans (Gap) are trendy and cool but still classic enough to wear for years to come.

I'm in love with these sparkly wedge sandals (Maurice's)! Since I'm a shorty at 5'4", I'm always looking for a comfortable heel. A good heel gives me a bit of a confidence boost because it elongates my frame. However, wearing a wedge generally gives me more stability on my feet than a classic heel does. I can always wear a wedge for longer periods.

I'm a sucker for an unique earring (Forever 21), and these are super cute. 

So there you have it! 

An entire outfit for under $100! 

Now I need YOUR HELP!

Starting on Monday, Asheville Outlets will feature one look each day from one of the eight bloggers that are in this challenge. I would love it if you would vote for me! I will let you know when I am on their page and when I could use that vote.

You can get a head start by liking Asheville Outlets Facebook Page now. 

THANKS EVERYONE!!!! I will owe you all foot massages or a million dollars :)

Here We Go Again Girl

Sweater: Thrifted, Jeans: Thrifted men's Levi's, Top: Eddie Bauer, Wedges: Steve Madden, Sunglasses: Dollar Store

Here we go again with these dastardly boyfriend jeans. I can't say I hate them here in this outfit. So...the secret for me and my pear shape means I need heels when wearing boyfriend jeans. Alright, allllright. Got it.

Fancy Feet Girl

Entire outfit: Thrifted, Shoes: gift from my mother-in-law

My in laws are doing a little shuffling around at their house to accommodate Gran-gran moving in with them. My mother-in-law worked at the local community theater in costumes and due to the moving around has had to get rid of/sell/donate/let me have some of her wonderful costumes and accessories. Yay! Dress up time! These awesome shoes were part of the classic 1920's gangster style that always comes back around every Halloween. I couldn't believe they fit me and I was super excited to style them up.

That being said, I still do not like these boyfriend jeans. They are just not flattering on me! I wore them here and didn't feel confident in them then. Still don't. The only thing left is to try them with heels. If that doesn't work, they are going back to the thrift store. As much as I want them to work it just kills me that they make me look much wider than my other jeans.

It may be because they actually are men's jeans. Maybe I need to try the Gap's pair that are for women but in the boyfriend style. But the $69 price tag isn't going to work for me!

Enjoying the Birthday Gift Girl

Top: Thrifted (not shown), Jeans: Levis/Thrifted, Shoes: L.L. Bean

Oh how excited I was that my hubby had these Maine Hunting Boots from L.L. Bean ready for me to hug on my birthday morning. I really really enjoy them. It's nice to have a waterproof shoe that isn't a boot! There are times I want to pull on boots and then there are times when I just want a slip on that is ready for the outdoors.

These shoes are made to wear with big, thick socks for the winter but I just pulled them on with no socks today. I paired them with boyfriend jeans and an easy striped shirt. Let's admit it, these boyfriend jeans aren't the most attractive article of clothing for my body shape but they are another birthday purchase that I scored at the thrift shop. Thank goodness I didn't waste $70 on them like the ones I thought I wanted. I just don't think they look good enough on me to spend that much. But $3? Ok. I'll try it!
