WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A .......SALE

 I have come to terms with the realizations that although i love to read Vogue and Nylon Magazine just like every other inspiring fashionista. I have to face the facts that.the only thing i can afford in these magazines are the subscription to the magazine. And although i have your occassional gucci this and fendi that. The fact is i cant even pretend to keep up with the jones. But because i still have a respect and appreciation for the finer things in life i found a talent in finding the loop hole to high fashion.Whether its tackling an old lady to get the last dress on sale at The Nieman Marcus Outlet, or hiding shoes in the infant department in stores until i find the funds to pay for my addiction, Or ripping a button off a blouse just so i can get an extra 15% off (dont judge me). But like i said before its meant for me to be glam-tastic. And the moral of this story is almost a biblical message....and that is where there is a will there is a way. And if God wants you to be awesomely fashionable he will lead your heart and spirit to that sale or to that clearance rack.

I am not sure where i bought any of this stuff from but i can tell you this is a floral cooking apron wrapped around a floral dress. And the merging of these two patterns seemed effortless. And the african inspired necklace is courtesy of my mother (i'm obsessed with her jewelry).This outfit represents absolute freedom for me. 

THE GOOD WILL, WILL DO!

For the past four or five years i have had an on going love affair with the GOODWILL. I love the fact that its a place in which people can clean out there closets and provide a good deed all in one. Its a time when a woman can face the fact that maybe after three kids the little black dress is now the little black disaster. Its the time when a woman can surrendor all her clothes from the 80's and enter 2010 with the rest of us. My point is while throwing out there past they are helping someone else's future. And than its the gift that keeps giving because that LBD that no longer fits you may fit me perfectly and rather paying department store prices i grab it for $6.99!!! And then my money goes to place that will benefit more than just the company. Well at least thats how it goes in my brain. But the real reason i love love looooooove the GW is because its a challenge and the thrill of the hunt. I mean lets face it....80 percent of the stuff in the GW is used, abused and not worth a penny with a hole in it. But once you run across the rare 20 percent its like a little piece of heaven or Trey Songz has landed in your lap. That Trey Songz is so beautiful that i think its a sin just to look at him. But anywho back to the orignial subject....When i enter the GW it forces me to go in open minded becuase if i focus on one thing specifically i will be disappointed. The GW doesnt guarentee to have this seasons styles it just guarentee's low prices. And it is up to me to make whatever I pick up to look amazingly current and fresh. Because no one actually wants to look like they shop in the used goods section.  But after I find my treasure the real fun begins when i leave the GW and hit the mean streets of Houston. When I get to decieve people by looking expensive for less. And im sure any fashionista can agree that i get more compliments when im in a piece from the GW or any thrift store than i do when im walking around in Fendi. Its the catch 22 of fashion and i freaking love it.

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES IF YOU DARE

Something beautiful about Randomness...And my best friend is the master of randomness (hence the pics he took)

                       Randomn is defined as having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective.
Beautiful is defined as having qualities that delight the senses, especially the sense of sight.
