I’ve always loved them together, but after seeing hundreds of people proudly wear this color combo for Angel, well, I’m completely obsessed now!  Just look at all of these fun finds! 🙂

Check out resale store Clothes Mentor in Plano and accessories at Charming Charlie in Allen.  Can you believe everything shown here is under $20.00?!  No more excuses…now you CAN find something cute in pink and orange. 🙂

What other combination is your summer favorite?

Oooh, shiny!  I just love patent leather accessories – check out this new beauty!

Arcadia is an Italian patent leather brand you can often find on Ebay, as well as some discount stores around town for around $200.00-$250.00.  It’s not easy to find a large inexpensive tote with feet, let alone an Arcadia, so I was thrilled to spy this gorgeous bag at one of my new favorite stores, Clothes Mentor in Plano.  Did I mention it was only $18.00?!  OMG! 🙂

What makes this shop unique is that they pay for gently used clothes and accessories on-the-spot, instead of waiting as the consignment stores do.  It’s also geared toward women, not teenage girls, which makes their inventory a little more desirable for some of us gals! 🙂

What type of resale/consignment stores do you have in your area?

I love Easter Sunday at church.  Everyone is dressed in their best Spring colors and floral patterns, which seem to brighten everyone’s smiles and highlight this glorious day!  The Husband is a fab example in one of my favorite shades of blue. 🙂

Ms. Mona couldn’t wait to put on this swingin’ $8.00 skirt, a consignment find at ReThreads in Dallas.  Add a classic white blazer from JC Penney’s end-of-season clearance and we’re set for a wonderful Easter celebration!

Wishing you a blessed day!

Spring fashion shows have arrived!  My friend, Kelly, put together a mahvelous Girls Night at her bank in Richardson, featuring some cute clothes and accessories from Get Noticed Boutique.  The appetizers, champagne, and relaxed atmosphere made for a wonderful event.  Fabulous job, Kelly – loved it! 🙂

“I thought you were one of the models!”

I was pleasantly surprised by the comment, then realized it must have been my favorite red patent bag ($36.00) and shoe ($20.99) combo they noticed. :)  I am most attracted to the shade of red that is made with more blue than orange, so to find an exact match in the clearance sections of two different Dillard’s locations?  I’m telling you, it was nothing but divine intervention.  The detail on my “Sgt. Pepper” jacket (1/2 of 1/2, Richardson) was what I first noticed on this $9.00 bargain – purchasing the trim in a fabric store would cost me just as much!  Add a starred leather bracelet, satin pants and a few bits of $1 bling…I’m ready for the bright lights of the corporate catwalk!  Or, maybe I’ll become a really stylish roadie… 🙂

What rock ‘n roll artist or band do you remember as a fixture on the fashion scene?

“BTW, I went by Estate Classics & bought one of the Louis Vuitton purses – thanks for the info!”

My sweet friend, Lisa, has been on the lookout for a fun LV bag to carry every day.  Like so many hard working women out there, it’s difficult for her to carve out a few hours during the week to focus on shopping for the perfect purse.  While I was out looking at consignment stores last week, I stepped into Estate Classics and found several LV’s that I thought Lisa might like – and at an additional 50% off, it couldn’t hurt to send a photo or two, right? :)  I just love it when my Sistas pick up something so fabulous!

Have you found a crazy couture bargain you just couldn’t pass up? 🙂
