My Basic Shopping Advice: Tips, Budget, Clearance Rack Finds

I am the first to admit when it comes to shopping, I can miss the mark. But, when it comes to my style, I have become a pro at loving my choices, even when it doesn't make sense. 

I am not a professional stylist, nor do I keep up with the latest trends. But, I do have some great advice and personal inspiration that will kick up any woman's shopping experience.

As I have become older, I've noticed the type of clothing I love to wear every day can be expensive.  I no longer can shop in the teeny-bop section to save money. (No pun intended) :).

To be honest, when prices are incredibly high, it can be frustrating to find a complete outfit without spending the light bill money.

So, I have compiled a few of my shopping, tips, budget, and clearance rack finds. 

Morning Babbles

It's Friday, heck Yeah! Can you feel me dancing in the streets as I write this post? Ok, I am not really dancing..but just roll with my happiness at this moment. 

Now that I have calmed down let's get this day started:) 

Good morning everybody. This post will be a bit small and sweet. But, you know I have a few plans up my sleeves for my family.

So what are you guys planning for this beautiful Memorial Day weekend? 

I have a lot to babble about this morning, so let's get this party started.

A Little Earring Haulage

I am a woman that changes my hairstyle often. It comes with the territory of being a hairstylist, I can never make up my mind on anything, including the way I wear my hair. 

One minute I am rocking my short hair with the highest blonde color, and the next, I want long blonde extensions. The battle with my look is always in full motion, but I love the versatility.

The same goes for the earrings I wear on a daily bases. One second I want to wear colorful and flashy the next I want chic and straightforward. 

Thank goodness I can have it all. Today I put together a few pieces from my summer collection that I wear with my short hair.

A Few Beauty Bits I Picked Up While Shopping In The City

As of right now, I have been wearing the same two dark lip colors, red, and burgundy. So, I decided to go out and try on a few summer pink colors. I know what you may be thinking, why so many? Well, it was not my plan, but I couldn't decide on the texture, feel or exact color I wanted to buy. So...

What brings you joy every day? I am learning to take care of the small things in my life that brings me the most enjoyment possible. I used to think doing big things in my life is what made me happy. Now I know its the small things I do even if you do nothing at all.

 So, here are the joyful list recaps of all the things that ultimately bring me joy.  I've added each one to my inspiration board of things to keep my focus.

A Little Closet Clear Out And Donation Haul

Just as much as I love frolicking around in a thrift store. I love it, even more, when I can clean out my messy closet and donate things to a worthy cause. Last week I spent the better part of my evening trying on and tossing out the clothes and handbags that were not fit to give away. I try not to give to charity clothing items that I have excessively worn, torn, or look like pure rubbish. So, since I have organized everything, I thought it would be great to show a little haulage. Oh my goodness, I believe I have gained a few pounds here and there. But, nonetheless, here goes nothing.
