Fashionista Statement: Monday, May 21

Getting close to the end of the school year now (no professional clothes during the summer for me--it's all mini skirts and very short shorts. I'm such a grown-up), so I wanted to wear this dress from Penney's ($20ish) one more time before the end of the year. This time I tried it with a curly curly ponytail which I achieve by adding a little mousse and then wrapping all my hair in one direction. It dries that way on its own with a little help from the Midwestern humidity. The joy of curly hair. (Try not to notice that it's falling out a little on the left. This was at the end of the day.)

Tank top from Maurices ($26)

Cream leggings (from Wal-Mart or Target or some place like that for $6)

Borrowed necklace from my mom--love that thing! I think I still have it nearly two months later!

Fashionista Statement: Wednesday, May 18

Trapeze dress from K-Mart ($20) that I got for the first day of school almost two years ago.
Kimono sweater ($20) from Target. Love it!
Silver strand necklace $15 from Penney's. Don't usually spend that much on jewelry since I have SO much of it, but I had coupons.
Flip-flops ($12) from Payless

(I remember I was talking on the phone to my bestie during this pic. And again, ignore the mess. Clearly I had not straightened up yet.)

Turquoise, green, and brown dress from Maurices on sale for $20-ish (can't remember exactly). Dress has racerback straps in netting. Dress is very low cut, so I wore with a brown cami here.

Brown shrug from Maurices $20

Gold necklace with my initial was a gift from my bff in high school

Long leaf necklace was 50 cents from Claire's

Turqoise watch from Claire's. Five dollars for the watch and four other bands.

Gladiator sandals from Penney's $12 (on sale)



(I had just gotten these shoes and really wanted to make sure they were obvious. Love them, but unfortunately they cut into my feet. When I wear them to work, I often have to unzip the back of them by midday to make it. Still worth it though!) :)












Different sweater in this pic. Brown glittery sweater that my mom got me. No idea where it came from or how much it was, but my mom is a super shopper, so I'm sure it was a bargain! Opted for a different cami here. I think I prefer this one even though it doesn't QUITE match.

Also, ignore the pile of clothes in the chair. I'm usually so tidy.

Fashionista Statement: Monday, May 17

Black t-shirt from K-Mart (approx. $9)

Orange cardi from the Gap ($17)

Paisley skirt--a gift from my mom (I think it was on clearance for around $6)

Eiffel Tower necklace (long): whatever ten pounds equates to (about $15? Ordered online so I'm not sure what the exchange rate was at the time.)

You can see the shoes in the background--black with tan toes and heels and a buckle on the toe. Brand name Minelli from Paris. Whatever 36 Euro equates to ($50 maybe? Can't remember what the exchange rate was when I got them).
