Hey there, Fall!

Happy November! There’s been a lot to celebrate lately. My lovely cousin Sarah is getting married soon and I am co-hosting her bridal shower this weekend! Amidst all the chaos, I’ve still looked super cute for work this week AND I wore some of my new Goodwill goodies! Let me share them with you…

Little black peplum top paired with my new-to-me LuLaRoe pencil skirt and those new Charles by Charles David chunky pumps! The skirt was $4.88 from the Gandy Blvd. store and see the price on the pumps yourself! Not bad for less than $12 amiright?

If you follow me or Goodwill on social media, you might have gotten a sneak peek at this next little number. We had our semi-annual meeting at work and I needed to look polished and proper in front of about 70 professionals. Goodwill to the rescue! And I got to wear those brand new Steve Madden animal print heels. The skirt and shirt are both Target brands–only one was purchased there, though.

Fall is here, I guess, though you wouldn’t always know by going outside. It seems my wardrobe as slipped more into warm tones. Until next time I go shopping, anyway! ?

This was Thursday’s gem; a fun little dress I bought many moons ago at the Oldsmar store and my brand new Steven by Steve Madden heels!

A note about these: these are a size 9 and I normally wear a 7½ -8. But different brands run differently and in my experience, my friend Steve makes his shoes a little smaller. So don’t write them off right away! There are some treasures hidden in plain sight!
