Here are my outfits for this weekend!

What I'll wear to church on Sunday:

Black and grey embellished shirt from GAP: 7.00 at Plato's Closet

Yellow Belt: 0.49 at Old Navy (Clearance)

Fabulous navy pencil skirt: It is my moms from I think the late 80's

Teel shoes:  5.00 Thrifted

Brass rose earrings: 4.00 at BP in Nordstrom

Saturday wear:

Tan Blazer: 5.00 Thrifted from the little boy's section

Teel shirt: 6.00 Urban outfitters (clearance)

Flower Necklace: Made by Sister #1 after I had Eden. (Tutorial to come, of course)

Bracelet: 1.00 at a random Herbal Store

Set of 7 gold rings: 3.50 from H&M

Black stretchy skinny Levi's (rolled up): 6.00 at Kohls

My so favorite leather Oxfords: 5.00 Thrifted

Okay don't hate me for wearing stripes on stripes ... I was feeling it. Mind you that just when we thought denim on denim would be dead and gone I am seeing it everywhere!

My fashion tips:

• 
  
  Don't match too much. I remember being so bound to matching: earrings to necklace/belt to shoes not to mention color dilemmas. It is quite liberating to not match at all.
• 
  
  Dress to flatter your body type.  Last year I gained 50 lbs with the pregnancy of my daughter Eden...Let me tell you it did not instantly melt away the way I hoped.  I was used to being pretty small and I had to learn how to dress my new figure. The cool thing is before I had my baby I had a cute shape but, like most women, I found flaws to gripe about. NOTHING has made me love my body more than going through pregnancy and the awkward stages afterward. I developed a new found respect and love for my body and the wonderful creation that it is.  I want to show it love no matter where I fall between size 2 and size 10.

  Only buy things you love. It is so much easier to throw outfits together that way! Don't just jump at every deal you see. If it's 3 dollars and you won't really wear it, don't buy it.
