Color Me Bad!!!!

   Lately I have been more into the black and white scheme of things when it comes to my clothing, but I was feeling a little funky the other day. I had this Blazer sitting in my closet for quiet some time, that I had picked up from local Salvation Army last year.  When I first spotted the Blazer on the rack I thought it was way to colorful......But after grabbing it and walking around the store with it in my cart I knew I find  some way to make it work with something in my closet.

I really need to not take take my own photos lol SELFIE QUEEN

     I remember my mom looking at it funny when I first Showed the blazer to her, But then as always she said "I Know you will find someway to make it work". When I go Thrifting its like a form of art to me. When a painter has all those colors in front of them they can create a beautiful picture. Well its the same with Thrifting for me I like finding different on trend and vintage pieces and making them into a Outfit other may not have seen possible.

  

CAME TOGETHER PRETTY WELL!!!!

When its Cold out be Extra!!!!

I'm most likely one of the biggest Cheetah print lovers in the world. In my eyes Cheetah Print is a Neutral color in my book lol thats just my own fashionable opinion. Almost everything I own is covered in some kind of cheetah pattern From my clothes even down to the inside of my Car,I really have a deep love for it. So when I spotted this wonderful Vintage blazer In Savers for $2.99 I knew I just had to buy it to add to my collection because it had Cheetahs all over and whole African Safari on it. The blazer was so Unique and different which is what I always look for when I am thrifting.

Outfit Details: Blazer Savers
Pants: Forever 21

     Also along with the wonderful Blazer I thrifted I found this faux fur lined Jacket with a hood too die for. Big hoods are so on trend right now so it was love at first site. Now I was a little hesitant at first on buying the jacket due too it being a small but Thrift Rule #267…... Always try stuff on sizing means nothing!!! To my surprise the wonderful jacket fit and I took it home with me. Heres some pictures of the way I styled my Jacket.

Life Giving jacket!!

I swear it's the Faux Fur that makes this jacket great

Hope you all have a wonderful Day and Bundle up out there its a cold one, I'm sure I will be with my new wonderful jacket!!!

Did you say 50% of the ENTIRE STORE!!!!!

Yes you read that title right 50% off.  Now mostly every Holiday that passes Savers has a sale where they make the whole store 50% off for the customers. Every time the sale goes on I make it my duty to be in the building. I mean you can never have a enough clothes right!!! The great Thing about Savers is if you become a Member of the Super Savers Club, which is TOTALLY FREE to sign up you can get exclusive emails and invites to events that they have. Well with the Holiday last Monday Being Martin Luther King meant all Super Savers Club Members Could indulge in the shopping experience and shop a day earlier enjoying 50% of the whole store on Sunday before the general public on Monday.

This was my friends carriage she went a little crazy
      I took advantage of such a fab Sale and went with my ladies. The stuff we found and the amount of fun we had thrifting was amazing. We took tons of pics and found some really great pieces. Remember one mans trash is another mans treasure. The amount of old school dresses and rompers I found were to die for, But I came with a 20 dollar budget because I knew I was going away on a Trip in a couple days.  I was happy with my purchases I made and even had change left over for a snack lol.

We were excited after all the things we got for a cheap price

Anyway lets get into the details on my post today.

 

     I had brought this Dress from the Thrift store, A while ago from Savers for $12.00 Dollars little on the pricey side for Savers but when it was retailing at $98.00 Dollars you can't beat the price!!! plus I had a $3.oo dollars off my purchase coupon anyway……Hey a coupons a Coupon right lol. The dress really stood out to me because of the electric blue and also because the Chains on it which is very on trend with fashion right now. So I brought the dress and gave it a new home sadly it stayed in my closet FOREVER due to me growing a dislike to it until the other day.

    Tuesday morning I had no idea what to wear to work and threw it on. Well boy did I get a shock of my life, the dress was a hit and everyone loved it in the Office . Everyone was literally asking OMG stavana where can I buy that at ?? … Where did you get that??  Who would have thought my Chaps Dress would be such a hit after I grew a dislike for it over a while Now it shall turn into one a shall wear again.
