Copy Cat

I nearly fell off of the couch tonight while checking out Polyvore…

YouHeShe is selling this Rag and Bone Basic Pocket T-Shirt for $121.00

 

What the …??? Are you kidding me?? First of all, its a pocket tee, but second, I KNOW I can get almost the same thing from Forever21!

Check out Forever21 for their version of the Essential Pocket Top for…$10.80!!!!

 

Yeah, that’s a savings of $110.20!! I mean, you could buy your whole outfit with the money you saved, and maybe even a Starbucks Caramel Apple Cider…Just Sayin’ 🙂

Pinspiration: Ruffle Blouse

So here is my Pinspiration from last week:

All info about this outfit is here!

I probably could have copied more, since I do actually have a cardigan and belt that match these perfectly, but this was just inspiration, so I can get dressed quick quicker in the mornings!

Nautical Nonsense

Another Post!

So I went away this weekend for a little boating excursion with Hunky J’s family up north. I knew it was going to be 70s during the day, and much cooler at night. Take a look at my outfits! And HJ wondered why it was taking me so long to pack…HA! I needed to document the process so I could share!
