Sunday Style: Neon and Thrifty

Happy Sunday! I'm dying to show you all the outfit that I put together for today's Sunday Style! This last week I have been on vacation and I have enjoyed having time to do some things that I have been wanting to accomplish! One of the things I really wanted to do was take an afternoon to do some thrifting. We have a few stores in the area that I visit every once in a while, but usually it's just one here and there. I took the opportunity to visit three in one day and take my time browsing the racks. 

I found this sundress with this beautiful flower pattern on it and it was love at first sight. I love the neon colors and the green and the flowers so I knew it needed to be mine. The dress is a tie-strap vintage sundress and it was made long before vanity sizing...so with no dressing rooms available to try it on, I decided I would chance it for $3.40. 


I came home and tried it on and of course, it didn't fit. However, it fit on the bottom just fine so I had the nifty idea of putting a shirt over top of it and, viola, the perfect printed skirt! I loved that I had the right shade of green tee in my closet already and, earlier this week, I decided to cut off the sleeves off of an old jean jacket and make myself a denim vest. 

For shoes, I went with the neon pink Mari sandals from last year. I thought they were the perfect shade of pink and looked great with this! I also brought out the neon purse that I bought from the Sears outlet earlier in the summer. Add some bright accessories and the outfit is complete! I used everything in my closet to go with the new skirt that I spent $3.40 on. Who says fashion has to be expensive?  I love all of these colors and the way that everything went together. 

Here are some pictures of the complete look:









Hope you're having a great Sunday! I go back to work tomorrow so of course I am enjoying every last minute of this weekend!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
