Bargain Styling

Retail price is $40 but was priced $32 at the PX(Air Force Base). After the 75% was taken out, I only paid $8. OH MY GAWD! I told my husband this UNIONBAY low-rise khaki jeans with olive green belt was meant for me. The 75% off sale was waiting for me. It was the last jeans and I found it buried among tops which had 25% off tags. It fit me like a glove. I LOVE IT. $8 for jeans, Helllooo??? AND, it’s Unionbay. Definily a Bargain Styling A-lister .

This is written for the second installment of The Bargain Queen’s Fabulous Festival of Fashion, Beauty and Style. The theme is so close to my heart I could burst…LOL. When Individual Chic announced that the new theme she will be hosting is SHOES, I was like, “I am sooooooo IN”.

Here are the shoes from my collection that I wear during the Spring and Summer season. You’ve seen most of them in my What I Wore entries but let’s relive the moments and drool all over again, Shall we?

THE WEDGES

I bought this at Target, on sale for $12, I think. I know it’s less than $15 . I wear this pair, everywhere, all the time. Either with jeans, skirts or dresses.

This is the second pair of wedge that I wear mostly when we go out for dinner or to Church. I’s my “formal” wedge, while the one above is my “casual” wedge. It was a gift from a very dear friend of mine who has a sexy British accent.

I don’t know if it’s a fashion rule or not but it seems when someone is wearing white, you could always expect something black as an accessory. Well not Midwest_Jess. She accentuated her beautiful white dress with nature tones. From the purse, to the Dior scarf she cleverly wrapped around her wrist and the strappy shoes.

I love how she put the collar up as well. I’m going to follow her suit and do a white and brown combo sometime coz I too unconcsiously do the white and black combo all the time.

I wore this gray mini-dress, slim black trouser and heels ensemble to Church on Mother’s Day. It was actually a last minute decision coz I planned days before to wear a white dress but my legs are tattered with bug bites from when my husband and I lounged in our deck Friday night. My husband was spared but for some reason I always end up being bitten, incessantly. We used the same bug spray for crying out loud. He said maybe because I’m too sweet. Perhaps,

I usually wear this color during Fall season but I thought I could get away with it right now by accentuating it with a pink beads necklace and pink beads bangle bracelet. Wearing a mini-dress over a trouser worked perfectly for Church in my opinion. This would also work for a date night out with hubby. For a daytime regular look I suggest wearing the mini-dress over jeans.

Metro7 mini-dress from Wal-Mart, on sale for $3. Black slim trouser which I don’t remember where I bought it..lol, sorry. Black strappy heels from PAYLESS. If I remember it right, I think it was a BOGO purchase 3 years ago.

I’m doing a Men’s Graphic-On-One Side Tee series over at SheKnowsBest.com so I thought I’d do a women series here as well.

I found this Sugar and Rox eagle rose tee from FiveTone for only $4.95. It used to be $29.95. Nice eh? If they have it in medium size I’ll be all over it. So lucky for you small sizes, you can have it to yourself. Hmmph.

I love graphic tees. They’re perfect for regular days just with jeans, shorts or even skirts, like I did with this one.

I have more graphic tees to feature so keep coming back

It seems dear ‘ol Tar-Jay went to the next level and turned OLD NAVY’s shortalls/dungarees into a………….. oh let me hold onto my excitement a little bit longer………………SKIRTALL.

OK, one last opine from me about these blasted things. I mean it’s probably OK for gardening or painting. Albeit it’ll never grace my wardrobe, I can understand other women wearing it for such purposes. For me, I’d rather not see it on grown up women wearing it while out grocery shopping or whatever errands you need to be doing. Or when you’re out of your house. But that’s just me.

Another note, if you cut the bottom part from the back, you could use it as an apron. Hardy Har Har!

Thanks Phisch for the heads up .

I can never pull off a look like this. We can start with the hat and I’m done..lol. My head is too big. She’s doing it though, fabulously. The scarf around her neck definitely adds a playful yet elegant touch. The beige(?) shoes from Target fits perfectly with the length of her Bermuda shorts. So YES, I may never see myself in this outfit but KUDOS to her for looking so great in it.

PAYLESS just released their Summer line. I love what I’m seeing. The colors are amazing. Right now they are 40% off so what are you waiting for?. I’m thinking of getting the yellow polka dot espadrille slide. They navy blue looks gorgeous too but i’m liking the yellow better. So which one are you getting?

Originally $66, now on sale for $29.99 from Rampage. This black and white flower print halter dress is definitely a great find to add to our Bold Print dress series.

Remember that multi-print skirt that I went gaga over which I only paid $4.98 from it’s original price of $58? What about those ‘beater tees that I bought in different colors for only $4.88 each? Here they are, in full force . Wearing bold print fabrics can be a litlte tricky once you think about accessories. With that in mind, I stucked to a solid color. There is black on the skirt so I focused on that by wearing my black long necklace with cross pendant and black dangling earrings. The cross necklace gave it a “hippy” look actually. I loved it.

To continue with the black accents, I wore a black flip flops that I bought from the PX 3 years ago.
