What I Want to Wear: Red Wide Leg Slacks

Hey Rose Heads!  I don't know if you shop at New York and Company.  BUT...I do!  Once or twice a year they have a buy one, get one free pants and jeans event.  Today is actually the last day for the event this go 'round.

I wanted to show you my slacks I bought from the sale.  I'm saving the "free" pair for a later post.

I would not normally wear red slacks but, hey, I'm 30 and in the happiest place I've ever been in in my life!  I'm not shying away from ANY color or style I want to try!

These are a size 14 and they fit like a glove.  They have a little stretch to them but, not too much.  Oh!  And since I'm in the "Noassatall" club, they make my booty look GREAT!!!  Boom! Pow! Splack-cow!

Fit Facts:

Red Wide Leg Slacks - NY & Co. (sold out..bummer)

Tan and White Stripes Top - Banana Republic (thrifted)

Friday Random: Casual Fridays and I made some FUNKY shoes...

Hey there Rose Heads?  Any good weekend plans?  I'm going with my girlfriend to get measured for my bridesmaid's dress for her wedding!  I'm doing her Save the Dates, Wedding Invites and Programs!  EX-CI-TING!  I wanted to show you the shoes I made (well drew on) and my thrifted top that I wore to work today!  Check it!

I drew some designs on these pumps because they were scuffed and need a rebirth.  What do you think?  If you want to send me yours, I can hook them up for a nominal fee of course.  E-mail me at: sodipo13@gmail.com if you're interested!

I love the looking down pose.  It's kinda like my trademark just sayin'.  I know I'm wrinkled but, this was on my lunch break.  If I had been thinking I'd have taken these this AM.

Boyfriend jeans are essential!  My friend gifted me these lived in pair and they're so comfy!  Love them!  They're from New York & Co.

I got this top from the Thrift Store.  It's Banana Republic.  So comfy and light for summer.

Well that's it y'all!  Enjoy your weekend!

Thrifty Thangs...

What's up Rose Heads?  Did you have a peaceful, powerful and productive weekend (don't judge my alliteration!)?  I did!  I went on a thrifting spree!  I had a $50.00 budget and I knew I had to buy two night stands with it (they'll be featured in a later post).  My budget for the night stands was $20.00 so, really I had a good $30.00 to spend on ME, house wares and stuff for the Washington men.  Sooo...let's check out my "journey".

First, I went to Value Village on Highway 5 in Douglasville, GA.  Douglasville is a suburb to the West of Atlanta.  It's my forever home (we closed on our house this past May).  So, naturally, I wanted to see what I could see because the store is so close to home.

The sky was so blue on Saturday!  It was like I was being willed to go and shop!

I found a few nice things here.  Check 'em out:

First are my uber Jackie O./Michelle O. brooch earrings...

I wore these today and they pinch the hell out of my ears!  I'm going to have to buy the little pads that go on clip-ons.  But, they're still funky fab!

Next is my cranberry, eel skin clutch...

This bag actually has straps but, I tucked them to make it more of a clutch.  I love it!

I found this blazer in a size14 in PRISTINE condition!  The pic-stitching is lovely too.  It's a charcoal brown color.  Just right for the impending Fall season...

It has a tailored fit and the fabric is light weight and it's fully lined.

Next up is this lovely oval mirror.  The frame around it has a textured snake skin pattern... 

 I plan on painting this and putting it in my foyer.  For $4.94...it was a steal!

I want to make a picture frame collage in my sitting area.  These frames were $0.40 each...

Excuse my toes in the photo! LOL!  I am going to start editing the photos I put out here you guys...just not today!

Well, that's all I bought from Value Village.  I spent $16.40 in all!  Can you believe that? What a great haul!

Next I ventured to two more thrift stores that weren't really hittin' on anything.  I mean, they were cool but, eh...too expensive.

BUT...then, I went to the Good Will on Fairburn Road in Douglasville.  THAT'S where I bought the night stands (which I will show in a later post) and this killer vintage skirt and Banana Republic blouse!

WHAT!  Do you see this?  It is so super cute and so super vintage.  It's fully lined and it has a comfortable elastic waist.  I don't just love this...I LURVE it!

Okay and this is the last piece I found...

This is Banana Republic...so cute and Summery...pure awesomeness right?  I know!  That's what I said!

Well, that's all for now.  Thank you for stopping by!  I appreciate you!

Keep your head to the sky,
Rochelle
