The past few weeks have been busy, but super fun!  We’re back to business meetings and preparing for an amazing women’s conference in Farmers Branch, TX.  Within my topic, “Fearless Fashion – Dressing Smart and Looking the Part…for Less”, I’ll be speaking about how to keep your wardrobe fresh with accessories. 🙂

It seems like headbands and barrettes have been a part of fashion forever.  What I love about today’s version are the added feminine detail – rhinestones, feathers, flowers, ribbons.  The extras bring a special touch to the hair accessory, allowing you to incorporate a “theme” to your outfit.

For my husband’s office party, I wore this hot pink piece, along with my sassy pink faux fur, to tie in an early 40’s flair (my FAV fashion/style era).  I recently saw the smaller size barrette/pin, which would be oh so cute on the collar of a simple black jacket.

Where do you find your fabulous hair accessories? 🙂

Don’t you just LOVE finding special treasures when you’re out shopping? 🙂

I bought these cute little gray ditties while I was cruising around Ross one day.  And what do I stumble upon at The Rack today?  Same exact shoe, different buyer.  Gotta love when the Shoe Stars line up just right…

Have you picked up a Fabulous Find lately?  Do share!

Happy New Year from beautiful Dallas, Texas and welcome to MsMona.net, a blog with tips and tricks to discount shopping for the so NAUTE couture. 🙂

Now, let me preface this by saying I am absolutely not against couture shopping – some of my favorite stores carry the most gorgeous name brand pieces.  However, not everyone can afford boutique, or even some department store, pricing.  If it’s in your budget this year, fabulous!  If not, don’t worry – stick with me and you’ll look just as amazing!

Let’s start 2011 off right with a hearty “Congratulations” to our great city.  Check out this link:  Forbes names Dallas #2 in their list of Best U.S. Shopping Cities!

Rock on, Sisters! 🙂
