Fall Winter Capsule New Items

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

I think this is the final list of items that I bought to update my wardrobe before I switch over to my fall/winter capsule.

I mentioned way back when I posted my spring/summer capsule wardrobe that I can’t afford to spend a lot of money all at once to update it for another season.

My purchases need to be spread out over a bit so it seems less damaging. I am also planning to transfer a bunch of items that I used in my last capsule into this one with a few weather orientated updates. Continue Reading →

Time goes by so fast and life just seems to happen some weeks within a blink of an eye. Yesterday was my Birthday. I’m not a big celebrating birthdays type of person. Even the kids get small family orientated birthdays spending the day doing what they pick out. So yesterday kind of felt like any old other day except I bought a few things for me which I find hard to do. Any one else out there got to a store with the intention of buying yourself something nice and then end up spending the money on your kids instead?

Happy Birthday

Tis’ the season to find swimsuits for a great price. Even though August just began I noticed that stores are clearing out their summer stock to make room for fall and back to school fashion, so this is a good time to buy that swimsuit you might have wanted at the beginning of the season but couldn’t justify the cost. In the list above I pulled together a bunch of suits that I really like that are either on sale or priced really well. Continue Reading →

What Purse to bring on Vacation

Europe/Big City Trip – Large Purse, Small Purse
Caribbean/Tropical/Beach – Large Purse, Small Purse
Weekend Getaway/Wedding – Large Purse, Small Purse
Skiing Vacation – Large Purse, Small Purse | Roadtrip – Large Purse, Small Purse
Cruise – Large Purse, Small Purse | Adventure/Nature – Backpack, Small Purse

I’m not a person who has a million expensive purses. I’m not even a person who has one expensive purse.  That’s doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like at least one though, it just means that I have never justified the cost so I have stuck with affordable. I also like a really big purse. I never bothered to carry a diaper bag when my kids were young, I just threw everything in my large purse and it did the job because I didn’t like the look of diaper bags in my price range.
