Inner Outer

Rain, rain go away!

I mean seriously, how much rain does 

Southeast Michigan need?

It has been raining for at least a portion

of EVERYDAY this week.

This outfit was yet again inspired. 

I have been taking a lot of inspiration from

images around me. This little look is based on

this , this , and this on Pinterest and this image in

People Style Watch for October.

But more on the outfit later...

Retail Ban Update: 

I was tested today on my retail ban

and I almost, GASP, failed.

Yep, my first time out to an actual store

to purchase a gift and I had, without

thing, picked up two things to buy

that were for me.

UGH!

So, I have realized....

I must do this a lot...

Head into a store to pick something up and add one or two other

items, that I really don't need but justify, because I am already there.

This is a pendant that I was going to donate and decided to remix .

I am so glad that I did, because it is a statement piece and fits with

this season's trend for pendants.

I do congratulate myself  for realizing what I was doing and

putting the items back. I could have just as easily walked

out of the store with them. 

Lesson Learned:

Review what is in your hand or cart.

Ask yourself whether you really need the items.

Not want, but need, this is the key to 

saving a bit of cash for later.

Remix: Mix up your wardrobe.

I paired a shirt, I wear a lot in 

cooler weather as a layering shirt, as a vest in this look.

I would never have thought to do this until I had to!

Remix, my friends, remix!

Yep, these are glittery!

How much fun is that?!

A lot for me.
