Put a lil spring in your step with ModCloth

I was asked by Modcloth http://www.modcloth.com/shop/clothing?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=G.SEM.US_BR.X_ModCloth_General&utm_term=odcloth&utm_content=e&kid=054365fd-14da-5228-ebc0-00003d6a8113 to put together a style board using THIS dress (Dinner Party Darling) as a base...ANYONE could simply accessorize a dinner party dress and call it a day....I wanted to show YOU how you can take a FAB dinner dress and work it into your DAILY wardrobe!!! I added fun pops with accessories (to take it down a notch and make it fun for day wear) added a FAB clear pink trimmed umbrella and wedges. A cute lil denim jacket popped over the top would be PERFECT for a chilly spring day!

THRIFTY TUESDAY....GOODWILL DOLLA DAY

Y'all I LIVE for Goodwill Dolla Days!! It's a FAB way to step outta my comfort zone with SOME clothing pieces OR get clothes for one of the many hundred Pinterest projects I've pinned!! Last Thursday was just that day (I think dollar days are once a month). SO, I organized my color and will show over the next few weeks on THRIFTY TUESDAY what I SCORED!!

This is a funny story...while shopping around GW with my cart overflowing a guy asked me "is that all for you?!?!?" I said "no, a lil for me, a lil for others...." heck at a dolla I bought stuff for my dad (he's a 2XLT - not as easy to come across and NEVER a dollar!!).

TOP LEFT: Black sequin/beaded dress (I will NOT be wearing this as a dress BUT think it could be cute with leggings and a denim jacket)

Navy or black (I can't tell) simple sheath dress by J.Taylor New York (ALWAYS good to have a sheath dress on hand for something that might come up....can be dressed up with jewelry or casual with a FAB pair of wedges).

I attempted creating a polyvore board to give you an IDEA of the look I'm after.....

And I'd add THIS fab bag (which I just so happened to pick up on Dolla Day {don't get too excited it wasn't a dollar it was $4.99 BUT I have been LUSTING after this bag since it first came out in 2012} )

BOTTOM LEFT: Black Lace vest (I have a penchant for vests AND lace) it says Virginia Slims Wear on the tag SO I'm willing to be it was a Virginia Slims giveaway?

Vintage Lace Nighty top...I think this could be ADORBS with a black cami underneath, a pair of boyfriend jeans and wedges

WINTER you're killin me....STAYING moisturized and hydrated...Burt's Bees, Carmex and more

PHEW!! With a title that long I'd better have something good to say right?!?!? No worries, there's an embarrassing pic included too!! This winter has my skin and scalp SO DRY...like itchy dry (not dandruff just itchy). I have had this lil sample of Burt's Bees Avocado Butter Hair treatment, so I figured I'd give it a whirl...

I put a plastic bag of my Avocado treated hair and popped my knit Bears hat on (HERE is the embarrassing pic) BUT I can share with you...we're friends right?!?!?

The hair treatment was AMAZE....my scalp felt moisturized and un-itchy!! Below you will find the rest of the products I use to keep my skin hydrated and moisturized.
