What I Bought - April 2014

I really was trying to not buy anything this month, but then I pulled out my shorts for the warm weather we've had and, surprise (not really) I couldn't wear one pair.  But that's a sad story for another day.  Anyway, I needed some shorts.

1. Gap sweatshirt - $8.38 (on sale)

2. Gap slim cropped striped pants - $24.49 (on sale)

3. H&M maxi dress - $10.39 (thrifted)

4. Gap shorts - $10.39 (thrifted)

5. LOFT denim shorts - $10.39 (thrifted)

6. Forgot the brand shorts - $7.19

7. Revlon hair dryer - $21.24

8. John Frieda color refreshing gloss - $11.99

9. Mossimo cargo pants (not shown) - $10.39 (thrifted)

Total = $114.85

- $48.75 (thrift store credit used)

Total spent out of pocket - $66.10

Go forth and shop responsibly!

My Picks - Peter Som for DesigNation at Kohl's

Hope you have had a great week!  We are winding up Spring Break and dealing with all the traffic, etc from the Masters.  Lord, that is a pain, you basically have to re-route everything you want to do for the week.  And our neighbors rent their house out so it's party central every night!  I keep telling my husband we need to sneak over and crash the party ;o)  Anyway, I'm popping in to share my picks from Peter Som's collection at Kohl's.  There are some really nice items and they are on special right now (25% off)!

1. Postcard print shirtdress / 2. Pineapple print tank / 3. Striped flare skirt /
4. Palm leaf bomber jacket / 5. Striped dress (so on trend!) /
6. Embroidered sweatshirt / 7. Striped maxi dress / 8. Postcard print sweatshirt

Have a great weekend!

My Take - Chanel Spring 2013 Hula Hoop Bag

Remember this crazy "hula hoop" bag that was sent down the runway in Chanel's Spring 2013 show?  Ridiculous, right?  Well, the concept has finally trickled down to a more affordable (and wearable) incarnation.  Check out Kate Spade Saturday's version!  Cute, right?  It's on sale now for $84, I have a feeling it will fly off the shelves!
