Suave Professionals Review (and OOTD)

Blouse: Gap clearance

Jacket: Thrifted

Jeans:XXI

Boots: Rocket Dog

Bangles: XXI, Target, Canton, Grandma

Check out these babies. And when I say check out I mean go to Walmart and go to the "check out" line with them in your baskets. They are each like 3 whole bucks and are amazing. I have tried a wide variety of products on my hair and these are some of my favorite. Have you grabbed your purse yet? GO! The "sleek" cream has been sold out at most places I have been to, but I found it at Walmart.

 *I am not associated with Suave other than for the miracles it does on my hair in the morning. Nor have I tried anything from their professionals line other than these three products.

That time my eye doctor made me look like Lady GAGA...

Sweater: XXI

Jeans: XXI

Boots: thrifted

Necklaces: Gma and handmade

Today I went to the eye doctor for the first time in a long time. Have never had my eyes dilated before and it has been a pretty weird experience for me. Like the shades I was given? Talk about cheap and chic! Just kidding guys, I mean I would be more than happy to do a giveaway with these bad boys if you want...

We also did some window shopping in a high dollar area, I made it home with a clearance anthro necklace instead of a pair of Jimmy Choos.

But today was a big day for me in another respect. When I was a kid I wanted braces, glasses and crutches. I got the latter two and thought they were overrated, but now I am fulfilling my lifelong dream of being a four eyes!

Turns out I am a tiny bit farsighted so I get to wear +1 reading glasses! All the better to see you with my lovelies! But at the moment, theyre making me a little nauseous. 

A note for you...

blouse: Gap outlet

Skirt: Jcrew Clearance

Necklace: Handmade

shoes: uh DSW?

Bangles: XXI

I apologize for the legs. I promise to apply self tanner before I pull out the next skirt (Which may be one of the three(!) I found yesterday thrifting, Jcrew with tags on, just saying). But seriously, they blend into my white shoes. HOW EMBARASSING!

Oh and see those bushes behind me, there happened to be a hiding bird in there that did not like me shooting too close to him. I would like to say the auto timer caught my reaction, but I got out of there too fast. So instead there were 5 pictures of the bush while I stopped shaking.

PS: some of you have emailed me about this necklace from another post. No, I do not have an etsy store (but thanks for asking, and yes I have been working out, just joking ;) ). I made it from a tutorial online found here but with less flowers and with ribbon instead of chain. Mainly because I am lazy. If you have questions feel free to ask. If you dont want to make your own, email me and we can work something out.

love this day.

DIY rope bracelets

This project will cost you approx: $0.50 and is inspired from:

HERE.

Supplies:

Scissors, Cord (I bought this roll at the dollar store, and its halfway used up), embroidery thread of your color choice.

LETS GET CRAFTING

Cut a bunch of string and tie it in a knot halfway down. Then Shape to your wrist and tie there. Remember you have to make it big enough to slip on and off.

Take thread and tie around cord ( make sure you wrap the split ends of the cord to the main bracelet), then wrap,wrap,wrap. I double up the thread to make this go faster. Tie off at end.

Continue doing this in different sizes/ colors to your hearts delight!

Enjoy your cheap, chic, colorful new bracelets.

Please comment if you have any questions and would love to see a picture of yalls final products!

PS: outfit of the day:

Being Busy In My Pink Pants

Pants: Old Navy

Sweater: Old Navy

Belt: XXI

Scarf:? old.

Shoes: Target

See how relaxed I look in the first picture, that's not really reality right now. It is one of those days when my to do list just seems to get bigger and bigger. So instead of stressing out, I'm just going to take a moment, and stick to something I know I can easily and joyfully accomplish. Lets talk about pants.

These were a total steal from Old Navy. They were on sale, plus I used my friends and family discount, so all in all they were something like 13 bucks. Plus I can eat to my hearts desire in them. and I avoid doing that jumpy thing in the morning to get them on. and they spice up a basic outfit. 13 bucks, for all that!

And I'm off to the next place, got lots to check off still!

Me, being a total copycat.

Blouse: thrifted

Jeggings: XXI

Shoes: Steve Madden

Bangles: Canton, Grandma

Truth is, I really shouldn't even get credit for this outfit. I took it from two different places.

This pic via Chic feed (via my iphone), minus the heels, cause I can already picture the ankle brace, and I'm not that good at accessorizing.

As well as...

Photo cred

the armful of bangles Atlantic-Pacific always rocks. But I felt silly so switched my watch to my other arm. But seriously, if you are ever in need of someone to copy be inspired by, she is the girl.

Well, onto things that show how totally hip and cool I am,

What did yall think of Dancing With The Stars? Kirstie was my favorite.

Looking like my doggie and a WINNER!

Dress: Oldnavy

Necklace: Charlotte Russe

Shoes: Target

The first giveaway of cheapgirlchicworld has officially ended and....(this is where yall drumroll)...

 HAYLEY WON! Hayley, email me with your shipping info (cheapgirlchicworld@yahoo.com ).

In other news, I think you could say that this outfit was inspired by my doggie Charley. Same color scheme. Tan. And he wears a blue collar. And our hair is kinda the same. True story, we have won a dog owner look alike contest. But dont go around telling everyone that. Although he is a very cute doggie, maybe I should take it as a compliment.

OH, And I am thinking about going shampooless! Read about it HERE. Has anyone else done this?



How to break out of your fashion funk.

Blazer: thrifted

Skirt: XXI

Shoes: thrifted

Blouse: LOFT clearance

Belt: Target

Bangles: Canton and grandmas

My method is... dress as close as you can to an Easter egg.

This jacket has been sitting in my closet for I don't know how long. I always liked the idea of it but when time came to pair it up, I was overcome with the thought that none of my peers would ever wear this. They will make fun of my in my goodwill pastel 80s blazer. and I let fear dress me in something else. Well no longer. and that is the profound moment getting dressed brought to me today.

Thank you for listening.

PS LAST DAY FOR THE GIVEAWAY! GO!GO!GO!

Whats making me smile.

Welcome to Snapshot Saturday.

GOOD food.

I am a little worried about just how happy these two meals made me. MMMMM

This little lovely!

Seriously. Try and look at her and not smile. 8 weeks old and rocking a fabric flower. I wish I was that cool.

 The odd amount of circus animals I ran into today.

Cause nothing says "dorm decor" like a living size replica of an elephant. With a $16,000 price none the less.

 PUPPIES!

Cause theyre cute. And cause Charley seemed a little jealous when I got home.(for those who have not yet heard, charley is my dog, the second picture. Dont worry, I have a friend who went monthes thinking I had a little brother named charley.)

AND my blog editing I have been doing!

Check out my new blog roll up top. I was a little baffled by the html and had to do it over a couple of times. If you feel like I missed you, by all means contact me!
