Just Me And Proenza...

It's Thursday. YES!!!

 This week has been sooo dreary that I literally can't take it anymore. It has rained everyday since Saturday and I'm sick of it! I really wish it would just snow already. Tonight would be great! Then I would have an extra long weekend!

Anyhow, this weekend will be much like that of last weekend-full of DIY projects and shop updates. Last weekend, I worked on these hand crafted picture frames. This go round I want to work on making some red flare leg pants. Stay tuned to see how that project turns out.

The rest of my time will be spent planning my trip to the Presidential Inauguration on Monday. I'm super excited about that!

I'm also super excited that I had the chance to score this Proenza Schouler sweatshirt on clearance from Target while Neiman Marcus was featuring their holiday line there.

While searching through my wardrobe, I noticed that not only was my sweater collection fairly slim, but that I owned absolutely NO sweatshirts-only hoodies that need to be replaced because they are now years and years old.

Sweatshirt-Target

I had been eyeing this sweatshirt since the line debuted so I was super excited when it finally got marked down to 70% off.

Because I don't do full price honey-no way, no how! Not if I can help it.

Every piece of this outfit was purchased on clearance or at a rock bottom redline price.

Chambray-NY&Co

Even down to the accessories. The watch was 50% off and the ring was $5.99 at NY & Co.

And this BCBG bracelet was also $5.99 at Dillards.

The shorts were all of $2 from Gap during one of their end of season clearance sales...

Patterned Houndstooth tights-Ross

And oh yeah, back to the matter at hand-THE SWEATSHIRT! I got it for $8.98 as opposed to $30. I'm also in love with the fact that it can be dressed down like I've done with this look or it can be dressed up with some cute leather pants and sparkly heels. It's so versatile. I love great buys; they make me giddy.

 Can't you tell that I'm happy!!!???

I'm so glad that I got it when I did because it was perfect for a casual lunch date with my girlfriend.

Now, if only I can continue to find great sweatshirts to add to my collection my life would be complete.

Riding Boots-Dillards | Purse-NY&Co

Did you get the chance to shop at Target during their huge holiday clearance sale?

If so, what did you score?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

Also, look at how some of my girlfriends styled their items from the Neiman Marcus for Target collection:

These Yellow Shoes...

 So....

Last weekend my honey and I had a date night!

We went to see Ms. Erykah Badu!

And this is what I wore...

Do any of you have those types of outfits that instantly make you feel sexy?

Yeah, this was one of them...

I've been hard body thrifting in search of a camo jacket but have had no luck finding one in my size.

So after searching my closet, I ended up finding these camo skinnies that I had never worn.

Red Sheer-Ross

I purchased them from....get this...

WALMART!!!!

On clearance for THREE BUCKS!!!

This was a while back now-during the era when Miley Cyrus' line was a big hit.

Camo Skinnies-Walmart

These yellow shoes make me feel super sexy too...

Target always comes through for me.

I found these lovelies on clearance for $9!

So I purchased them in blue as well. 

Shoes-Target

I paired the 'fit with gold accessories to make the red sheer pop even more. 

The gold also went really well with the yellow shoes, which don't really match with anything else.

But I'm totally infatuated with them for right now. 

I actually can't wait to find more things to pair them with.

Or, I could just keep wearing this 'fit over and over again.

What is your go to outfit?

I can't wait to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

Savin' Maven Monday: Accessory Organization-Part I

Happy Monday my loves!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. I was actually supposed to spend this weekend catching up on blog business but my work week had me highly exhausted so I spent most of my Saturday resting up with my honey. On Sunday, I did a little grocery shopping (I will share my great savings on my FB page) and I attempted to do some 'fall cleaning'. 

I'm really making more of an effort to get my things organized because I literally have stuff EVERYWHERE!! It's really irritating to come home after a long day of work and see stuff strolled all over the place so I figured that I needed to get this in check immediately. Besides, I've never been a messy person. 

Anyhow, last week I worked on organizing my shoes in this post. 

This week I wanted to tackle the first portion of my accessories-bracelets!

Currently, they are all piled up in this basket...

Though they are contained in one area, I find myself getting frustrated each time I have to dig through the basket to find what I want. 

So I got these random do dads to help me display them...

This first one is a paper towel holder that I purchased from Ross for $5.49..

I'm still unsure exactly what to call these next two contraptions, nevertheless, they work!

This one I stole from my Mom-she wasn't using it so why not!? I love finding random jewels at Mom's house!

And this one I purchased from my local thrift store for a buck...

I thought it would be a good idea to couple all of my 'clasp-esque' bracelets onto the paper towel holder so that I could get them off easily...I could just unclasp the bracelet, if you will, versus having to take all of the bracelets off just to get to the one I want.

Here is the finished look...

Aesthetically speaking, I'm not sure if this looks any better now than it initially did but it's much easier to find what I need.

I'm interested to know how you all store your bracelets?

Clearly all of my do dads are full so I will need more options. 

I can't wait to hear from you!

Friday Favorites: Vol #19

TGIF my loves!

Another week down. I'm pretty excited for the weekend as I will be spending time with some of my old classmates from high school. I'm also planning to spend time with my goddaughter and my bestie before they leave town for a week, and of course I'm going to spend some time with the dude.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty interesting for me-here's a recap...

NEW items added to my ebay site...Please email thriftyandshameless@gmail.com if you're interested or you can visit my site here 

NEW Steve Madden's Size 7.5

Vintage LA Gear's Size 6.5

NEW Satin Bow Pumps Size 8

My grocery haul from Harris Teeter's Super Double Coupon event

Total before coupons and discounts ---> $160.11

Total spent out of pocket ---> $32.77

Homemade garden salad-for those days when I want to eat healthy...

Date night with my favorite guy (follow me on instagram --> @sherockwell for more date night updates). I love taking pics of our shoes. Maybe one day he will show his face on the blog.

Now reading Decoded by Jay-Z. I may just be his biggest fan. This book is so interesting as it decodes the lyrics to some of his most intricate songs. I'm debating on whether I should do a '10 Things I Learned About Jay-Z' post. Hmmmm??

Leopard capris-ummm YES!!! I'm totally obsessed with leopard print. I looovvee these because they fit like jogging pants so I can dress them up or down and still be comfy!

Fall pattern mixing inspiration from Target. 

I finally found a nail stamping kit that didn't cost me a ton of money. $6.99 at Ross. DIY manicures here I come!

I have been eyeing this skirt from Target for well over 2 months now. They finally marked it down and I snatched it with the quickness. I have so many ideas for it already!

New mag swag. OK seriously, I have a huge pile of unread magazines that I need to get working on. I'm missing out on all types of inspiration by just letting them sit in my living room. I wish someone would come and help me read them.

That's it dolls-my Friday Favorites.

What were some of your favorite things from this week?

Do share.

Thanks a bunch for reading!
