A Little Black Dress and a Little Pink Blazer...











PS this blazer was the find of a century!! It is by Zara which is pretty popular amongst celebs and other fashionistas but is has always been out of my reach. Their blazers start at $80-200 but I scored this one at $5 and it caught my eye because of this one at J Crew for $258!!! Now how is that for pretty close??



Dress; Issac Mizrahi for Target (Savers $7)
Corduroy Blazer; Zara (Goodwill; $5)
Boots; Kenneth Cole (Dillards; a gift two years ago)
Necklace/ ear rings; made by my Father-in-law
Sunglasses; Forever 21 (available now for $3.80)

  5. I think your blazer is even cuter than the j.crew one, seriously. And my goodness, why do we not have Savers around here? It seems like the world's greatest store!

    1. Aren't grey boots fantastic? They are such a great neutral. I almost feel like they are more neutral than black because they go with brown too!

    1. Thanks Stephanie! Be sure to look at my other styles. They are filled with crazy finds. My hubbs is still in school for a Masters and only works part-time so our budget is small and tight.
