Today's Goodwill finds

I decided to stop by Goodwill on impulse today, and found 2 amazing deals! I got this 100% silk J Crew shirt for only $3.99. It needs to be ironed but it's adorable! I also found this Banana Republic dress with the tags still attached. I got a $70 dress for $7.99! It fits me so well and is very lightweight. Would be perfect with a thin scarf and wedges :)

Hello again!

I can't believe I haven't posted in so long! I was just on spring break and kept myself insanely busy and I've been slacking, but I want to get back to posting now that the weather is getting nice and there's much more to do for me to post about! I'll give y'all an update on what I've been up to!

So  I recently painted my walls brown, and to add a pop of color, my mom and I painted my bed frame a bright berry pink. I love how it turned out. Matches the painting above the bed perfectly! So girly :)

I helped out at pony camp at the barn I work at, and I got to ride a lot! Jumping courses with Secret was so much fun and helped me prepare for my show this upcoming Saturday. I'm so nervous but it's going to be an amazing experience!


My barn got a bunny! It stays in a cage in the tack room and I snuggle with it every time I go ride. So soft and cute :)

Happy (late) Easter! This is my little cousin, Ella, and me at our grandparents' house. She's eating a homemade Snickers bar and let me tell you... They were INCREDIBLE. Gotta love family cooking!


I liked this picture because she was cantering and all 4 feet are off the ground. She's such a cutie :)


Oh how I love being on the back of a horse...



Look for more fashion posts SOON! Xoxo

Today's Sale Rack Find 3/23

I've been awful about posting this week, but things have not been going my way. I lost my debit card yesterday and I've had to order a new one, which is such a pain because I won't get out for about 5-9 days. I've also been such the past few days. Grr! But hopefully I'll have a little more free time to post over the next few days :)

Today I went to lunch with my mom and one of her friends. After we ate we shopped around for a bit and I spotted this amazing denim jacket in Anthropologie in the sale room. I'm in love. This is seriously so perfect for spring! And I finally own a denim jacket! My mom was nice enough to get it for me, and I will definitely get good use of it :)

Look at that beading detail on the collar! Very unique! Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores but it's so darn expensive that I only own a few things from there, must of which were purchased on consignment.

Outfit of the Day 3/19

Most of my outfits are very "frugal friendly," which is sort of what I'm trying to aim this blog around, but today's outfit is definitely an exception. I rarely splurge, but a few weeks ago when I saw this shirt I had to have it. And of course, I had to have the coordinating pants and cardigan...

Shirt: Esley purchased from Monkee's - $48
Mint cardigan: H&M - $18
Orange pants: SOLD Design Lab purchased from Monkee's of Richmond - $81 (originally $108)
Suede boots: Envy purchased from Tunic Consignment Boutique - $30 (consignment)
Socks: J Crew - $15
Earrings: Thrift shop purchase - $1
Ring: Gift from my grandmother

Total spent: $193

My week in a Nutshell: Horses and Hairstyles

This week was quite uneventful - I was on spring break from my community college so I did lots of sleeping in and hanging around the house. However, yesterday my barn went to a horse show! Although I didn't ride, I did go and support my "teammates." It was so fun seeing all the little girls ride :) the weather was perfect!

Every Sunday I'll be posting odds and ends from my week just to show what I've been up to other than my regular posts :)

Happy St. Patty's Day! XOXO



Going Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today I'm showing y'all some of my favorite wardrobe staples in green. All of the items pictured are not only adorable and practical, but very affordable! I actually own the pleated dress and wore it for Easter last year. It looks and feels like an expensive dress but is only $27. What are y'all up to this green holiday?
