I love shoes - they look so good on me!
(and living a fabulous life on a not so fabulous budget, trying to be a cool mom to 3 cooler daughters, dancing my butt off, drinking my calories, reviewing things I buy and looking for my always missing keys! )

I like going to resale shops. An acquaintance of mine recently opened an upscale consignment shop. I have perused it a few times and have found various things like wrought iron wall hangings and planters (for my rooftop patio).
On my latest trip inside, I decided to check out the coats. What I found was glorious, As I slipped the coat on and took a gander at myself, I heard the shop owner say, "It's you. So you in fact, it's as if you walked in with it on."

SOLD!!




It's faux fur - because I don't wear real. Fur is dead, ya'll. And it cost me $60. I am absolutely in love with it.

It is me, right? So me!

I love these little lipsticks. they fit perfectly into a little purse or in your pocket when you go out - or when I go out, as the case may be. They were $1.00 each at Sally's Beauty Supply. They have a great selection of colors and they wear well. I'm very pleased with this VERY affordable purchase.

On my recent mall trip, (mentioned in a previous post) I bought my "Dexter" shoes. But that was not all. I also bought these:


Patent leather Oxfords - 2 inch heel, by Covington (bought at Sears - on clearance!) $20.


I can't remember the brand - but these beauties - also bought at Sears, cost me $15!! So cute - and I have a super cute purse that matches. Look for it in a future post.

I watch Dexter. I love Dexter. Michael C. Hall is easy on the eyes. Though, I've never ben a fan of blood and gore - I do have a pretty strong sense of justice - um, not like that!

Anyway, I saw these shoes online and put them on my "I want list". Online - even on Ebay - I couldn't find them for less than $45. And I try not to spend more than $30. I coined them the "Dexter" shoes. You'll soon see why.

While at the mall this past weekend, I took a detour into Hot Topic and my shock and awe the "Dexter" shoes were there. One pair. My size. 50% off.

Ta-da!
