Oh you guys, you just wait. I will fulfill the promise of my caption - I am SHINY. So the pool guy came and went - he did a good job, he was cute, and he gave me a $200 discount. (He said he was feeling generous on a holiday). So after he was done, I went over to the new Goodwill that opened up near here. I love to go to grand openings of thrift stores, because they get lots of donations from retailers. And the store is all fresh and clean and they put out the good stuff to hook us in. Behold, the purchase of the day, brand new with tags
Merona gold sparkly espies. I think that's a Target brand. They had several versions of new Target shoes, but this is the one I liked best. They were $6.99. Here is how they look with my chosen outfit of the evening.
So I guess you can figure out that I chose the olive Hue jeggings with the gold tunic. So what necklace did I pick? A Forever 21 classic.
It's a Y shape made of little gold leaves that tinkle as I move. For my rings, my Montana peridot and my Nordstrom green creepy ring.
So what else did I get at Goodwill? Well, I spent $23. I got the shoes, and then this dress for $5.49.
It's a sleeveless body con style, but it has a twist - it is entirely made of tiny ruffles of fabric alternating with mesh.
I also got 3 tops - they were $4.49 each. First, we have a silk J Crew metallic tank with a huge rosette on the front.
I also got a polyester top by Banana Republic that is cadet blue with a ruffle neckline.
The last piece is a polyester shell with a tiered lace overlay. There are 5 tiers, and the sleeves are see through lace. It's peachy pink, and it has an exposed gold zip up the back. It's by a brand called Leo Meets Virgo, which I have never heard of.
For some reason, it was half price. So I wore this to go to the movie and see Jersey Boys.
The movie was pretty good - I think I liked it better than the stage production, which was more musical theater than this. I had gelato - Wedding Cake and Mediterranean Sea Salt Caramel. Both were delicious.
So it's time again to play along with Shoe Shine Saturday with Sheila. I figured that shiny shoes would be good for this. (Duh). So cruise on over to www.sheilaephemera.blogspot.com and look at all the cool shoes!!!
Ooh, I love those shiny espadrilles, Rosie! And your shiny leggings are gorgeous. You totally scored on those tops - right up my alley! Thanks for linking up to Shoe Shine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila!!! Yesterday, I went to the huge indoor mall we have here. It's called South Coast Plaza. I was sunburned from pool floating, so no outdoor activity for me. It was a MOB scene - most store were giving 75% off on all stuff. I got 2 pairs of shoes, dirt cheap. You can bet I will be joining the next Shoe Shine!!!
