Charlotte Russe Mini Haul

Hi lovelies! The 24th was my birthday and I turned a big 24! Time goes by so fast and I can hardly believe in one year I'll be halfway to thirty. It's kind of a scary thought :( so be thankful for every day you're alive and never take your time on this earth for granted. I remember being in highschool and it felt like yesterday but almost six years have already passed! Sometimes I wonder why it goes by so fast, or how I'm going to be able to do everything I want or need to do for myself and others before my time is up. My time could be tomorrow however, and that should make me more determined. Sigh. Life goes on my friends, and time does not stop. Ever heard that song Time by Pink Floyd? Listen to it here. The feels. Okay, I have to stop writing about this or I'll get all emotional >.<

Anyway, I was given a Charlotte Russe gift card by my dear friend (TM!) and i went there yesterday to get a few things! I've been needing some pants but unfortunately didn't find any on clearance that fit me well. I always have a hard time finding pants because I'm so short and have a small waist but big thighs. They are high waist. The only thing I don't like about these are how the material around the buttons stretch and make me look like I can't fit into my pants! These actually fit perfect and aren't tight at all. They are very stretchy though and that's probably why they do that. I can deal with that though, so I decided to get them! I absolutely love the color! $32 is about average price for pants, so I can't complain too much.


There were scarves on sale for $5 and there were many to choose from! I got this creamy white one and half of it is lace. It's so pretty and soft! It's like a one piece so it doesn't part and I love it! I'm stoked to use it during Fall (if it ever gets chilly enough here in Florida).





Lastly, I got a set of three head bands and one flower head band for $10. They are honestly things that I could totally make myself and probably for much cheaper but I couldn't resist. They are all adorable. (Sorry about the bad lighting)





I really really really love this one ^_^


Welp, that's it. I have a huge haul coming soon for my store so keep an eye out for it. It will include platform shoes, apparel, and some very pretty violet contacts! 'Till next time!

Confidence

Ori's a robot but she
can still werk that ball.
Confidence is something everyone needs to work on. I refuse to believe that every person is completely confident with themselves. I'm not just talking about physical looks. People tend to be very negative. We're always questioning whether or not we can do something or if something is going to go our way, and no, not everything will go our way and that's okay sometimes. However, it affects our mood and most of us become very angry and/or sad because of it. Being angry ruins lives in my honest opinion. I know from watching others and from experience. Anger holds grudges and hates and there is nothing beautiful from that. We tend to make things worse for everyone including ourselves, actually. As hard as it may be, we all have to learn to control our emotions and think more positively when something upsets us; to let go and forgive and to be confident about our intellect and looks. Speaking of looks, not everyone can afford to go on a shopping spree every day and not everyone has "the look" society seems to think is sexy, but think about it, when you go out in public you want people to think good about you (not that their opinion really matters) but you mostly just want to feel confident, so really, you dress for yourself. It would make more sense right? Wear what you feel would be comfortable, what you think is cute, and forget what others think. If you walk in confidence people will see that and look up to you. That is how people set trends in fashion. I know you see all the "ridiculous" clothing that goes up and down the runway in magazines and tv, but soon enough those trends start getting popular and then we all seem to adjust to it and want to own it too. It's because people are confident about it. That is with everything in life. The more confident you are about something, the more successful it's going to be and that can be said about every single thing on this planet (even bad, but please don't do that). Love each other, give, forgive, be confident and stay classy.

deals deal deals

I am a sucker for clearance deals. You can find great things for under ten bucks and save a lot of money if you do the following:

1. If you're strictly looking for deals, keep your eyes off everything else and go straight to the clearance rack, which is probably in the back corner of the store somewhere. Looking at other products is just going to tempt you to buy them. I promise at the end of the day, you will leave happy with what you've got and less money spent.
2. Get creative. A lot of the items on the clearance rack are there because nobody wants to buy them. If you know how to sew, cut, and decorate, try it on some of the clothes, or set your own style.
3. Look at every individual item. Sometimes, there are amazing things just hiding and waiting to be found.
4. Go into those little shops in the mall that no one visits. They are usually very cheap and you will find a gem or two somewhere in there.
4. My biggest problem is this: spending too much money because you think you've found all these deals. Keep it to a minimum. You may have got more with your money but did you really need it? The goal is to save money, not to spend as much just because you found more things that cost less.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I treated myself yesterday, feeling that I deserved it and it's been entirely too long. I got 2 pairs of shorts, a dress with a belt, and an adorable blouse for just $27. Something like that usually costs anywhere from $55 to $80. I'll share with you what awesome things I got for such low prices.

These shorts were $5 each at Rue21. I love love love that store and they have some of the best deals I've ever come across. They are very high quality and fit and feel so comfortable, which is such a blessing because I'm very short with very big thighs.







I found this adorable dolly shirt in some random store. No one was in there and there wasn't a whole lot I liked except this shirt. Believe it or not, everything was $5....yes, everything!




And finally, this cute lilac dress that came with a belt (not pictured) was on sale for $12 at Charlotte Russes.


Good luck finding deals and have a blessed day!
