Comfortable Flats and Plain Jane Denim...

Happy Wednesday my loves.

I hope everyone is off to a great start this afternoon.

It's been quite dreary in my area this week so I wanted to style something quick and simple. I've also been running around like crazy, picking up shipment and doing things for my shop, Miss Rockwells Racks, so I've been all about comfort lately.

I feel like I rarely ever wear 'plain jane' jeans anymore. And when I actually think about it, I really don't wear a lot of regular denim. I'm totally in love with colored jeans and printed pants but today I felt like something different.

In order to still incorporate some color and print into my OOTD I layered this $2 orange crew neck sweater over a printed blue oxford blouse. Did I mention that this sweater was only $2!!! I lucked up on it when I went on a browsing escapade in JC Penny. Mind you I never shop there but after this trip I quickly changed my mind. Their clearance section is so BOMB!!!

These leopard flats were the perfect addition-not only for their comfortability but also for their super funky style and inexpensive price tag. I found them for all of $10 at a secondhand shop. They were also brand new. These babies will definitely be getting lots of wear in the upcoming months.

This thrifted Zara blazer added just the amount of prep and class. This is another one of my go to pieces that I'm looking forward to wearing in the days to come. It's a great layering piece but most of all it's as comfy as can be.

What's your go to piece for style and comfortability?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

My $20 Outfit...

Happy Wednesday my loves.

I hope each of you are having a wonderful day thus far. I'm so glad that we are halfway through the work week because I'm already exhausted. I'm really sick of this back and forth weather in my area in particular. One day it's so hot that I feel like we totally skipped Spring and then the next day it's so freezing cold that I need to break my space heater back out.

Okay...so maybe I exaggerated just a bit.

I can honestly appreciate the crisp days because I get to layer my clothing. Layering is one of my favorite concepts when it comes to styling. Blazers make layering especially fun.

I picked up this great Zara cord blazer while thrifting last year. Back then I wasn't exactly hip to the whole Zara brand but I loved the color and the fit of it. I just couldn't pass it up when I read the $2.99 price tag.

As you may or may not know, I don't wear skirts often. I'm a pants and shorts type of chic. I mean I love pretty skirts-I have a TON of them in my closet but for some reason they're not the first item I grab for when getting dressed.

I do love this little mini skirt though. I loved it so much I purchased it in blue too. It was only 3 bucks at one of Old Navy's end of season sales. I definitely wasn't leaving it on the rack.

I was dying to wear these thrifted boots and I felt like the brown accents in the outfit would compliment them so well. I'm totally in love with these boots. So much so that I purchased them in gray as well.

The flower detail drives me crazy!!!

My favorite part of this 'fit is this neck scarf thingy that I also scored from Old Navy during one of their Black Friday sales last year. I think this was the most expensive piece of my whole outfit, coming in at $8. I love the bright orange color and it's so soft and warm.

I'm actually wishing for more cool days this Spring so I can pair it with some jeans and a tee.

This outfit will go in the file as one of my faves-not only because of the great pops of color that I adore so much but mainly because it cost me all of $22!!! I get so super duper excited when I can style chic outfits for cheap.
