Few words this wednesday!

Sweatshirt: XXI

Jeans: nordstrom rack

Shoes: Walmart

Watch: charming charlies

Ive mentioned before how BUSY wednesdays are for me. And  I am sure they are for you too!

So I will keep this short and sweet. The idea is for you to use the time that I would normally spend blabbering about my day to tell me what is wonderful about you:

PURDY PLEASE!

When Marie Claire asks...

Sweater: Old Navy

Tank: Gap outlet

Scarf: Old Navy

Jeans: XXI

Boots: thrifted

So one of my favorite parts of Marie Claire was their beauty roadshow seen below.

Basically they go to a city and interview all sorts of women about what they love about themselves. I always found it so inspiring, because they always chose confident women that loved something about themselves that was unique. You see, this really hit home for me because my natural hair makes me stand out. and for the longest time I begged it and tried to force it to be straight, to no avail. I usually ended up with some sort of awkwardness in between. I eventually had to let go of what  I wanted my hair to be and just embrace what it was. And not only did I find that it looked way better, but it fit ME even though it was different from all the other girls. Now it is my favorite accessory. Now I get asked in the streets about it. Now I dont spend 45 minutes under the heat of a blowdryer in the mornings. Now I have other girls tell me to NEVER straighten it. and I'm cool with that. I feel I truely found the beauty in not being a replica.

So If Marie Claire were to catch me on a shopping trip I would answer confidently my wavy hair, and give them a hair flip that would give JB a run for his money.

SO heres where yall come in....

For a feature I will put up very soon I want EVERY single one of you HOT HOT ladies to tell me what you LOVE about yourself.

 Now is not the time to be shy or modest FLAUNT IT.

PLEASE! HERES HOW!

• If you have a blogger account I can get get a picture from there or you can link to a post.
•  If you dont, that isnt an excuse. EMAIL ME : cheapgirlchicworld@yahoo.com and tell me what is wonderful about you.
• If you want to, feel free to invite all of your blogger friends!

And im really hoping yall are into this because I dont even think my hair confidence will help me get over that blow...

three things.

Top: Old navy

jeans: nordstrom rack

Shoes: Steve madden

1) These jeans were made for me. Not only because they are the FIRST pair of boyfriend cuts that I have put on and not felt ill shaped. But also because they were originally $189 and they made their way to me for $11!

2) My rear is pretty sore from those workouts I talked about.

3) My favorite Sunday afternoon activity is napping.

Raise your hand if you are glad to be off tomorrow!

Sunny Saturday

Tank: thrifted

Jeans: citizens

Belt: old navy

Shoes: toms

Sunglasses: XXI

 It has been a good day. These shots were taken in historic downtown where there are so many adorable shoot sites all a little too far for everyday use. Never the less I took advantage of it today!

Another highlight was I found the downloadable workouts on Womens Health and printed a bunch out to bring to the gym with me. It is super exciting to me because (a) I dont always know what to do when I am at the gym. I mean I know how to work the equipment but it is great to have a plan for me and know this is what I have to get done. It cuts down on  all the wandering and awkward staring at people who look like they know what they are doing. and (b) because I get bored. I cant go into a gym and do the exact same thing every day. and thats not even effective. so the moral of the story these are awesome.

And PS that candy was divided among three people. NO WAY would I sweat through a workout to eat all that sugar hours later. Okay I would. but not today!

PPS. Remember this shirt? from the tricks of the thrift post I did? Add shopping out of season as another tip.

TGIF!

Cardigan: target

tank: Gap

Pants: LOFT clearance

Heels: Kohls

Hello Lovelies.

I have had my fair share of RUDE people today. and thank goodness it isnt a Monday, or a Tuesday or well a is a FRIDAY!, Because otherwise it would put me in a downer. But it is a friday, it is a perfect 85 degrees and I am wearing ruffles. Anyone have any better reasons why I should let the rudeness pass right by me?

HAVE A HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!
