Good News Comes in Threes..

I've got good news!! Could ya guess?

*#1 and the most exciting (for me): I reached 100 followers via Bloglovin' this weekend!! Ahh!! Know who my 100th follower was? My husband! (insert aww here) He was already a follower but now he's officially the '100th customer'!

*#2 I finally got my "linkups" page fixed! Up there in the top tabs; go ahead and check it out! You can now visit the each of lovely ladies who host these wonderful linkups/blog hops each week! Pop on over and join one, they're oodles of fun! Met some my best blogger pals through linky parties!

*And #3 (drum roll please) I have my first review coming up soon! When I got the email for this I was stoked! And I am so super duper excited to share it with you! Whoo!



Today though, I have an OOTD and a humongous haul. Guys, I went shop.ping. this weekend. Like, shoooopping. And if you know me, you know I got amaze deals on everything.


So here's my 'Posh Park' OOTD...actually, it's not posh at all, it just rhymed. More like 'Park Casual'. Are my outfits anything but casual??










Shirt: ? (old)
Jeans: 1!T @ Goodwill $4.00
Belt: Came with a dress
Sandals: Target/ Thrifted $7.50
Ring: American Eagle (old)
Necklace: Pacsun on Clearance (old)


But after this haul, I don't have to be casual anymore. Let's face it, we'll still see it more times than not until I get used to it, but at least I have the option to do otherwise now! Everything I got was thrifted. You know how I roll! I'm super proud of the money I didn't  spend!

  1. ShoeDazzle Snakeskin heels: $10.00
  2. Brands unknown: Bracelet $2.00, Necklace $0.99
  3. Rue 21 Fuschia Pumps $8.00
  4. Merona Wedges (with original tags) $8.00
  5. Anne Michelle heels: $8.00
  6. Mossimo Nude Flats: $7.00

  1. Forever 21 Coral Dress: $8.00
  2. Forever 21 Pink/Black dress $8.00




  1. Lilly Pulitzer Denim Dress: $9.00
  2. Mudd Cream Lace Dress: $8.00 



  1. H&M dress (with tags still on) $12.00
  2. Mossimo Striped Dress $6.00 
So the total of all these items was $95.00. But I sold some old clothes at the same time, which totalled  $56.00, making my grand total $39.00.  6 dresses, 5 pairs of shoes, a necklace and a bracelet, for 40 bucks? I'll take that! I'm always super excited when I find things with the original tags and I can see just how much I saved!

On a side note, I apologize for the terrible picture quality. But never again! My awesome sister is giving me an awesome camera and soon my pictures will be crystal clear! Aren't sister's grand?? Until next time...may your thrifting skills be mighty and the Goodwill be plentiful! Stayed tuned for the review!!

  16. Depends on what you mean by posh. Casual, yes, but with some serious polish for a play outfit. Isn't it amazing what a little necklace and some very cool sandals can do for a look?
    You've earned your praise, kiddo.
    Congrats on all!
