Addressing feedback, that I was 100% happy to receive!!!

I was SO happy to actually GET feedback. It was given to me via PM thru email, and I'll be happy to tell you all the summary of the feedback. The member made a very kind suggestion to me that I choose a different photo as "the girl behind the blog" because I am asking people to read my posts about fashion and post a picture of myself looking very anti fashion. I agree with her 100% and appreciate the fact that she PM'd me and didn't post it here, incase it would have embarrassed me. To that poster...I thank you!!!

I do want to address that exact sweatshirt. It may not be photographed correctly for my blog...that I agree with. It is however a representation of this blog. The sweatshirt in question is a very classy (as classy as a sweatshirt get's) CK sweatshirt that I picked up in new condition at Goodwill for $3.00. Just the type of thing us frugal "fashionista's" live for!!! It's my FAVORITE sweatshirt! I do agree with the fact that another picture would be more appropriate for the purpose, and I will change it soon. In all reality I was just using what I had handy to start my blog, thinking that no one would even read it. They are, and I'm so excited and greatfull!!!

So, to sum up this post, thanks for the feedback, it was kind and not mean spirited. The mssg also included the fact that the reader DID LIKE my blog and will continue to follow it. I welcome all the suggestions that anyone has for me. I promise to post a better picture with a great outfit that will convince everyone that I kinda know what I'm talking about, and the outfit (bag & accessories excluded) will retail for less then $75.00 including shoes. Keep in mind that this is based on what I can pull off for style in the midwest. I don't have access or funds for Rodeo Drive! LOL :o)

My regular weekly post will come tomorrow evening as always. Maybe as I get more readers I'll try and post 2 times a week. I have some great things to address!

Thank's for the support!! You don't know how much it means to me!!!

My Fall MUST HAVE report:

Here are a few things I'm considering to be my "must have's" for fall. The 1st is a great deal and I'll be making my way to Target this week. ALL of their Mossimo ladies denim are on SALE for $15 and $20 bucks. They have some really great styles too. Old Navy used to be my "go to" for jeans, but at this price in Target's Sunday add I can't help but stock up!!!

I'm also going to be ordering quite a few pieces of jewelry from Urbanoutfitters.com. They've got some GREAT leather pieces. I've got my eye's on a couple of studded cuff bracelets and a SUPER CUTE pair of large chain and leather tassel earrings!!! I HIGHLY SUGGEST checking them out. They also have a FABULOUS grommet barrett hat that's available in black and magenta, and I also believe a slate grey. I'll be making sure that's delivered to my door no later then October 1st.

My favorite site for shoes right now is www.urbanog.com. They're a great site for fashion shoes. The type you will maybe only wear for one season, and maybe only for dress and don't want to invest too much $$$ in them. The GREAT thing is that you can have 2-3 pair shipped for the price of one. Their site is also super user friendly in that you can serach by size, color and style. (Example: size 8 pink platforms.)
***ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE CHEAPER CLEARANCE SHOES WILL BE TOWARDS THE BACK!!*** They aren't POOR quality, but they are budget friendly!!!

This week I'm going to be surfing for fashion scarves. I've already found a few at www.urbanoutfitters.com but have alot of confidence that I can find better deals to post for you!!!

Here's my TIP of the week.

When you find that perfect FIT in denim, but it dosen't have the beat down boyfriend look you want, you can do it yourself!!!
I have found that using hubby's Dremel tool with a sanding attatchment does the trick. You can not only decide where YOU want the wear, but using the Dremmel tool gives you great control!!! I also love to either spray my jeans with bleach or just dip my fingers in it and "splatter" it. Doing both will give you a great worn look without paying $100 for a pair of jeans. Just make sure you soak the jeans in cold water to stop the bleach from eating thru the denim further then you want it to. Also wash them by themselves the first time around, after that you're good to go!!!


If I find any other great deals before next Monday I'll make sure and post them!!
Until then, I'll be waiting to hear YOURS!!!

Welcome, here's my 1st post!!!

So, I'm flipping thru Lucky magazine today, and I'm seeing alot of bags, clothes and accessories that I love. I also know that this is a double edge sword...and here's WHY.

I know that the things I like ALOT I either don't have local access to or I can't AFFORD.

I can't pull off half the fashions in my small town because so few would appreciate it, or "get it." (I already get strange looks sometimes with what I wear.)

If I can afford it, and I have access to it, then 9 times out of 10 it dosen't come in my size.

Hmmmmmm.......I wonder to myself, how many women are in my EXACT same shoes???

ALOT!!!

So, I've decided that maybe we can ALL come together to share our hints, tricks and finds to help eachother out. I know I'm not alone and this is where all of YOU come in.

So, I'll leave the thoughts at this, and see what you all have to say about it!!

Are you fashion hungry...with no means to feed the hunger? Do you have to get creative to feed the hunger??

Tell me about yourself, and let's get this blog rolling!!!
