holy dresses!!!

So, I just got the cutest dress/dresses from my parents last nite and was so excited about this weird piece of fabric that i just had to share. Now, I have no idea what the cost of this fabric/dress was, and i didn't ask. I do have a brochure on it and it has a website and phone # for ordering your own, but i have yet to visit it.  Iris impressions is the name of either the dress or company, I'm not sure on that either. But, i do know that whatever it costs, it is a super awesome deal! This crazy thing has two layers two different fabric colors, and two straps. Holding it up, it looks like a gymongous apron that ties around the waste.  It is designed to make over 15 different wrap dresses using nothing but the fabric and straps. I LOOOOVE IT! Even better, all wrap dresses are vintage, recycled material. nothing about the dress is new!  I will post pics below and although, like i said, i have no idea the cost, anything that is 15 different outfits in one has to be a dress for less kinda deal! If you re interested i will also post the web address below. But remember, I am more fascinated with this idea than anything and am sharing because i think this is cool as crap, not because it is my normal $30 or less outfit.

Learning to blog is a pain!

All this learning about blogging is giving me a headache. I cant seem to figure it all out. Especially trying to find a cute background and getting it to actually work! OMG! How hard can it be?!? You would think that a 27 year old could figure this out easily. I am constantly trying to make my blog look cute. Bland things bother me. I love color and bold patterns. My blog was super boring soooo, I tried to fix it. Now, it is just pain ugly. I have gotten a few different backgrounds and instead of them replacing eachother, they are just topping eachother. So now I have like 4 backgrounds and you can see them all! HA! What in the world? So please, bear with me while I learn this stuff!!!!

This will be all for now. If you guys have any requests, or celebrites you would like you dress like for less, please let me know!

You are what you wear.

Obviously a statement to complicated to grasp. Most people wake up every day, get dressed, and go out not realizing what their choice of attire says about themselves. As a self-proclaimed fashionista, I take pride in my choice of attire and refuse to dress in anything that isn't given at least 10 minutes of consideration. It is unbelievable what I encounter from day to day, concerning everyday fashion. The fashion sense of others baffles me. Dressing nicely should be a priority. I may be coming across as rude or inconsiderate but how can someone who pairs pink knit pants two sizes to small with an extra large tinkerbell tee shirt be taken seriously in public???? Come on people. Really?? And yes, I understand that times are hard. People don't have jobs, and with no job comes no money, and with no money comes no new clothes. BUT, on any given day I can walk into Walmart, Burkes Outlet, or Roses even, any find a great looking outfit for less than 20 dollars. Now, dont get me wrong here, I love the name brands. I live for trendy clothes and seasonal styles, but I don't spend big bucks achieving the trendy looks. I simply look for the bargains and take a little time researching what the trends are and how I can get them for less.

For example: last Friday I went to walmart and for $20 I bought a super cute cropped accent jacket, dark bootleg jeans, a white long and lean tank top and a black long and lean tank top. Putting the outfit together I wore the black tank under the white and put the accent jacket over the tanks. Paired with the dark jeans, I looked great, and had an outfit for 20 bucks that Kim Kardashian would wear and spend $300 on!!!! Its that simple people!!! Just take a little time to, 1. Go shopping and look for bargains and, 2. take the time at home to pair items of clothing together so that when you wake up in the morning you already have an idea of what to wear! If you haven't the time, hire someone. It is a small fee to pay to look good, feel good, and get respect. "It shouldnt matter what I wear," says most. Well, IT does MATTER! If you need a job and walk into an interview or even to apply for a job in knit pants, and a tee shirt, I wouldnt hire you!!! I would want to hire someone that seems to put effort into dressing. Not taking the time to dress well, or properly looks like you dont care. Who wants an employee who doesnt even take the time to get ready in the morning?? NOT ME!! So really, care a little and see the difference. You will get more respect, I promise it!

Thats all for now!

Remember....You are what you wear!!!!!!
