so there's a fun little back story to my outfit today....Saturday morning while I was sleeping late...like I do any chance I get, while my mom was out doing her usual Saturday garage sale hunting...this woman runs circles around me, even the neighbor makes comments about it.......


SO...she came across one house with two guys selling stuff. As she was looking through everything she over heard them talking about how one of them had just broken up with his girlfriend...at that moment she realized it was allllll the ex-girlfriends stuff he was selling...& even worse he was basically giving it away....if that were me, i'd be livid & cause a scene....BUT yet i would never leave without my clothes so....


SO today my thrifty outfit cost me $2. Yes, you read that right - 2 freaking dollars...& i didn't even pick it out...thanks mom - 



& this past week we have had such BEAUTIFUL weather......so of course I had to take a walk down the street the beach for this shoot since the whole outfit is made up of surf shop brands ---- 

 

 LOOK! I have boobs!!!...something you never see

TANK: Hurley - SHORTS: Element - SUNGLASSES: Volcom <----- all local Southern California surf brands made right in my home 

  can you believe this tank & shorts were only $2!??!?!?!? And the sunglasses - well those were free in a box of junk...score!

 so it goes to show that if you spend the time & energy you can find good buys at thrift shops, garage sales & consignment stores. 

now remember we are having a contest to see who can come up with the best thrift outfit...but you guys get to decide - so VOTE below using the rafflecopter!

so today is a hair trend that I have wanted to try forever but haven't because of various reasons....one reason being I feel too old for this trend. So today's FF (fearless fashion) for me is....


PINK...in your HAIR

via

so as I was pinning around for pink hair I realized there are a few different varieties of pink hair you can have. You can go all pink, just the tips pink or just a few strands of pink throughout your hair. My favorite is LC's...its very light & very subtle but still adds a fun little twist on hair color. 


I think my main reason for wanting pink streaks is because i am obsessed with the color pink. i can't get enough. No matter what it is my first question is always - 'do they have pink?' ....but then again pink in your hair might just be too much of an overkill, especially for the profession I am in.


I think if I was a rock star I would totally rock pink streaks....actually there are so many things I would rock if I was a rock star....ah if only


however in the picture on the top row all the way to the right I feel like she really took the pink tips look and turned it into a very fashionable look. Its very trendy, but with her current hair style & bangs plus with the coral lip color she's sporting, I really think she pulls it off fashionably. 


buttttt....I don't think I will ever dye pink streaks in my hair...but it's fun to dream.



What do you think of the pink hair trend? Would you ever try pink or another crazy color in your hair? Why or why not? 

so moving on from pink hair to one fashionable lady....i lala LOVE this girls style. Its classic & chic and she always looks so cute....not to mention she's a mommy. She writes a fabulous fashion & lifestyle blog displaying her adorable looks with some mommy fun in between...so there's something for everyone....& lucky for you - you can check out some of her looks below. So without further ado meet 

Well hello there! My name is Meagan and I have a personal style blog called Because of Jackie. I'm a mom, a part time stylist, a reader, a QVC watcher (and ring collector), a wannabe writer and an adorer of all things Target and H&M and every other store out there that sells clothes. And shoes! And accessories! I'm a sucker for all that stuff. Could that be why I am currently doing a 30 day no shopping challenge? Yikes. Don't remind me. 

I'm also a sucker for this whole blogging thing! I know everyone says this, but I seriously adore writing posts every day and taking awkward photo's while my children play...

I've written some posts on Blogging 101that you can find that here and here! 

If you're curious about the girl behind those backyard photo's you see above (and maybe about my weave, have I mentioned my love for weave's?) you can read this and this.

And then! Come join me on Twitter, enjoy my random photo's on Instagram and my cozy socks and leggings pins on Pinterest. 

So come on over and say hello, why don't 'cha. Then you can find out where I'm moving to in June (hint, a cold place!) 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


.....doesn't she have like the best clothes?! everything she has i either have something like it or I want it....its always fun to find other fashionista's who have the same style as you....& can you believe she's a mom!? Talk about drinking from the fountain of youth! Make sure you stop by her blog & say hello...let her know MessyDirtyHair sent you!

& i'll see you guys tomorrow for the PAR-TAY!!!!

tgif lovers.

5.) Beautiful roses & card with a new coffee cup


ok so moving on to FEARLESS FASHION FRIDAY...& boy do we have a surprise for you....so in the words of my fabulous co-host Lindsey ---


The lovely Janna from Perception Is Everything gave us a wonderful idea for Fearless Fashion Fridays! Watch the video below to see her inspiration!
Beware, this video contains language that may be unsuitable for small children and old women.
I mean that in the most loving way

Okay, so what does this have to do with fashion?

Well we can all hit up the mall, scour the "it" boutiques, and shop online to find the newest fashion, but then you are a.) wearing the same thing that SusieQ wore last week (having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't) b.) spending enormous amounts of money (Yo- That's $50 dolla's for a tshirt...)  and c.) there isn't that much creativity involved if you are just buying the "in" cookie cutter clothes. How 'bout we all think outside the box, get old skool wit'it and THRIFT an outfit for Fearless Fashion Friday!

Yep, that's right!

Janna  will be co-hosting with Kelly and I to bring you The Thrift Shop Edition of FFF. We don't care whether you use new thrifted finds, old thrifts, or raid the closet of your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy...All that matters is that you come up with an outfit that is rockin' and NOT something you would find in Forever 21. {No disrespect. We love F21}

so I really enjoyed reading everyones comments last week on my crop top post....i still really want to try it & so does Janna so I think we are going to work on a little something special...so this week I have another funky trend that I really want to try....

Knee High Socks

via

I have always loved the school girl look ever since I went to Catholic school when I was younger. I especially loved wearing knee highs with a plaid pleated skirt....so I like how Fashion is incorporating knee highs with more everyday wear. Plus as you can see in the pictures above knee highs can be dressed up as well as dressed down. I really like the knee highs with a dress, its just such a fun alterative to wearing stockings. However, you do need to watch what you put with the knee highs so it doesn't turn into the 'slutty' school girl we all see around Halloween time. Personally if I were to add some knee highs to my wardrobe I would get the basica colors black & grey. I think anything else would just be too much. What do you think of the knee high sock trend? Is it something you would try?   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 


NEXT WEEK: Tuesday February 19th - Holly of Running in Stilettos is hosting a ONE time linkup called "I'm the kinda girl who"...so get your posts ready & link up with her!

so today I have another trend that I love but this one I am way too nervous to try....this trend is 

all images via

so i love this look!  As you can see I marked my favorite one because thats the look I have been wanting to try for awhile - a long skirt & a crop top, almost looks like a bra. However, I am so nervous to try this trend. 

One because I get weird showing any type of skin, especially my stomach

Two because I am only 5'3 I don't know if my short little self could actually pull this off....

Three because I'm not sure if it would give me a slutty type of look...you know what I mean? 

The key though to trying this trend is to make sure to pair the crop top with a high waisted skirt, short or pant. 

Would you try the crop top trend? Do you think it gives the girls a "slutty" type of look? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the crop top....link up below & show us your fearless fashion!

moving on from one fashion to another.....i have one of my favorite fashion bloggers here today & couldn't be more excited about it. I started out just reading her blog & loving all her looks & style. Then we started talking on a more friend level & we realized how much we have in common & have become more than just bloggers, but friends.....& let me tell you this...she is my type of girl - honest, real, & a cat lover like myself....not to mention she has fabulous fashion sense. She recently just got a new blog makeover & its beautiful just her...so without further ado meet

Hi Everyone!  I'm Niki, the lip gloss loving blonde behind the blog, Glossy Blonde.  My blog is based around beauty, style and sweets, which are three of my ultimate favorite things.

I love to share outfit styling ideas around a fun piece or color combination.  One of my recent favorites is the outfit I styled around bright colors that make me yearn for warm spring weather!  Since I love fashion so much, I thought it would be fun to also share my personal style from time to time.  I feel that this gives my readers a little taste of the girl behind the blog, and what I actually wear and look like on a day-to-day basis.

Beauty products are also a major obsession of mine, so I like to share my newest favorites and reviews with my readers!  I subscribe to Birchbox, Glossybox and most recently Ipsy Glam Bag, and I go shopping frequently, so I am never short on new products to try!  Yes, this might be a little excessive, but I blame it on my Dad.  :)

And oh, how I love desserts!  Although I truly believe that living and eating healthfully is SO important, I also believe in "everything in moderation" and I treat myself often!  One of my all-time favorite recipes were my Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Maple Buttercream.  I like to try my hand at fun, unique recipes with a little bit of a twist.

hi, i'm delicious!

And of course, you'll also find a ridiculous amount of pet photos and a little about my life on Glossy Blonde.  Every Friday, in my "Five." post, I share a little about my life at the moment, as well as five of my favorite blog reads of the week.

Like what you see?  Stop on by and say hello!  I'd love to meet you :)

And thank you SO MUCH to the ever-so-fabulous Kelly for having me today!  Kelly has grown to be a great friend and I'm so happy that we got to know each other!!!

I know, she's amazing...& def check out the posts she linked to in this intro...she really puts in so much time & effort into her posts, you can really see how much she truly cares about her blog & her readers....that's why her blog is so amazing.

soooo today THE Glossy Blonde is giving away the chance for you messy readers to win a $15 Gift Card to SEPHORA!!!

Good Luck!
