WAYW: Sugar Lips Dress #1

Friends, What Are You Wearing, , , , ,

SUGAR LIPS APPAREL

Size Small

I was so excited when my flowy white dress cam in fro Sugar Lips Apparel!! It was adorable and perfect fit. I had no place to go in it, but just looking at it made me want to go out and take it for a spin.

Then I got word from Vicki from Houston on the Cheap (great blog for Houston freebies/inexpensive fun) that I’d won 2 tickets to the Houston Web Awards. I brought my bestie Jessica with me. Although I was thankful for the opportunity, I didn’t love the award show. I didn’t see even one fashion blogger represented. The crowd was also a little older and most of them already knew each other, so mingling was a little awkward. All that aside, I loved the way this dress turned heads. I got a lot of compliments on my earrings, which I made myself a couple years ago out of a couple bangles (bracelets), some lace, and some earring hooks.

Thrifty Finds #1

Thrifting, , , , ,

This is my first thrift adventure since the pre-Clothes Swap fast. Lol, I haven’t thrifted for a month. Let me tell you, it was rough. But I went to my thrifting spot and I got:

  • 1 checkered blazer
  • 1 dress
  • 1 button-down sleeveless top
  • 1 floral skirt (with a pocket)
  • 1 pair of striped pants
  • 1 pair of vintage pearl drop earrings (not pictured)
My grand total was $16. Not bad.

My favorite things that I bought were the blazer and the dress. I’m definitely taking them to New York with me!
