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!

i can see your bra

it's that time againnnnnnn

welcome back to the second edition of the MINI project....not sure what the MINI is? Here's a little backstory ----The MINI project focuses only on accessories....but I don't mean just jewelry - tights, hats, sunglasses, headbands, bows, scarfs, shoes, belts, gloves are alllll accessories as well.so you get the gist....

The Deal1 Accessory4 Girls4 Different Styles1 Major Blog Dayso this time I upped the game a little bit....i wanted to get something fun & fresh. Since summer is almost here I wanted to get something that was full of bright colors & was perfect for when summer time comes around....so I got these fun, floral black leggings! 

this was my first time trying the floral pants trend so I was excited to try them out & see how much i like them. I chose to get the leggings rather than floral pants. Leggings to me are just more comfortable. And I chose to get the leggings in black rather than a bright color because I felt the black was more practical yet still fun & trendy....plus how beautiful are the colors in these leggings....its like summer colors all packed into one...here's what i did -----

so I really love the coral color in the leggings but since the majority of the colors are coral I decided not to pair them with a coral top. Instead I chose to accent the touches of green leaves you see throughout the pants. 

So I added a sheer lime green top..& chose to be a little risky & not add my typical black tank underneath, just a black lace bra.

The greens may not be exactly the same color but it still blends perfectly with the coral & other colors. 

i added my black open toed wooden platforms to go with the summer feel.....then at the last minute I wanted to do something different than I normally do with my hair so I added a straw hat...& the perfect summer bag to match. Since my theme for this outfit was summer...no summer outfit is complete without some sunglasses & beach waves. 

how would've you styled the leggings? Have you tried the floral pants trend out yet? Do you like them? Why or why not?


wanna see how the other 3 girls did!? And they're all SO different....you will be amazed -- check them out & show them some lala love

you're a dirty girl

Hello there you Dirty Girls, you!

{I'll try to keep this short. 

Because I'm pretty sure no one in the history of blogging has ever said, 

"Nooo, I wanted that Guest Post to be LONGER!!!"}

My name is Michelle.

But since we're friends now, you can call me Mish, if you'd like.

Most days, I look like this:

{Fits in nicely with the Messy Dirty Hair theme, no?}

Why do I look so disheveled, you may be wondering?

Well, for the last 3 months, I've been living out of my suitcase.

No, I'm not homeless...

Actually, technically, yes, I am homeless.

Reason being, my main man and I decided to quit our jobs and sell everything we owned so we could travel the world.

So with these new circumstances, showers don't always happen.

Even though every place we've stayed at has a perfectly acceptable shower.

Except maybe the shower/pooper combo bathroom we had for a week in Malaysia.

Let's just say many excuses were made to not shower in that.

Okay, enough about my hygiene.

I'm very happy to meet you and I hope you can come say hi and keep me company while I'm galavanting around the world!

Thanks for having me, Kelly! :)

xoxo
